There are some movies that you know are going to suck after only watching the first twenty to thirty seconds. You watch them anyways, maybe just to prove that you were right but hoping you weren’t. There are also movies that you know are going to be great just from the opening scene. I don’t [...]

Terry Miles’s latest project, 26-episode thriller web series The Ennead, starts out with five people waking up in a forest with assorted objects in their pockets and absolutely no memory of how any of them got there – or pretty much anything else, for that matter. If this were Miles’s other recent project, AdMuse, you might think it was a result of some kind of crazy office party. In The Ennead, however, all we know is that these five are part of some sort of ages-long secret battle over the fate of the world.
Casey Manderson of AdMuse is back as nerdy-cute “Cats”, model/dancer/actress; Melissa Kelly plays Flick, Candace Chase is “Nova”, Renee St. Cyr (not the 1900s French actress) is Teeth, Chanel Taylor (not to be confused with porn starlet Taylor Chanel) plays Princess, and The Captain is played by Steve Thackray.

It’s kind of a classic formula, these days; take nerdy, highly specialized field, add attractive women, stir for about two minutes, and ding – you’ve got a new web series. That’s the idea that worked for HotForWords (word of the day right now is “Donkey Punch” – get it while it’s hot, fellas) and that’s what’s working for brand-new web series ArtLust, which is, naturally, about art, and, uh, lust.
ArtLust consists of roughly two minutes of Lauren Francesca waxing critically on a particular piece of art; the first episode is about “Lullaby Spring”, by British artist Damien Hirst, which at one point set the record for most expensive work of art sold by a living artist (19.2 million dollars!). The second episode takes us back to Pablo Picasso’s ambiguously sexy “The Dream”.

AC/DC fans, listen up; even if you didn’t make it out to the legendary Wilkes-Barre show last year, you can keep your Acca Dacca cred by watching AC/DC Rock ‘N’ Roll Fannation. If you can get over your jealousy of the mega-fans who actually made it on the show, that is.
AC/DC Rock ‘N’ Roll Fannation is the latest project out of Producer-Director Saul Levitz’s lab – a Sony Music Entertainment production that is all about AC/DC’s elusive October 26, 2008 show in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where they broke their five-year concert hiatus for a mere 3,500 fans.
