"Coatimundi!" shout Jeff Bridges and Loyd Catlett when asked about their favorite workplace story. A coatimundi is a type of tropical raccoon native to South and Central America, and, for one afternoon after leaving the set of 1984's Against All Odds in Mexico, it was a hazard for the Oscar-winning actor and his longtime stand-in.
Along with the rest of the cast and crew, the duo found themselves in standstill traffic. "Loyd opens the door and goes to the head of the line, and there's a rabid coatimundi stopping all these cars," recalls Bridges, 69. Adds ...

The feature film slate for Austin's South by Southwest festival (SXSW) was revealed last week, but as most genre fans know, the real cinematic treasures are lurking in the festival's midnight lineup. As SXSW Programmer Jarod Neece put it: "This year we scoured the globe and brought back a batch that we knew would truly satisfy the gore hounds of SXSW. Full of scares, sex, madness, laughs, chills and major mind f--ks, we hope there's a little something for everyone."
Browsing the titles, it's hard to tear our eyes away from a film called "Big Ass Spider" (directed by Mike Mendez of "The Gravedancers"), but the addition of Rob Zombie's "Lords of Salem," sequel "V/H/S/2," a movie from "Splice"'s Vincenzo Natali ("Haunter"), and vampire tale "Kiss of the Damned" from Xan Cassavetes certainly helps.

Joey Paur and Elijah Reyes review S-vhs.
Make sure to read Joey's written review.
Directors: Simon Barrett, Adam Wingard, Edúardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale, Timo Tjahjanto, Gareth Huw Evans, and Jason Eisener
Screenwriters: Simon Barrett, Jamie Nash, Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Huw Evans, John Davies and Jason Eisener
Cast: Adam Wingard, Lawrence Levine, L. C. Holt, Kelsy Abbott, Hannah Hughes
Official Synopsis: Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.
From the demented minds that brought you last year’s V/H/S comes S-vhs, an all-new anthology of dread,...

From stoner to alien to all-American hero, Jeff Bridges immerses himself in every role. Here, his friends, co-stars and directors uncover the man behind the movies
Loyd Catlett
Stand-in, stunt double, assistant and/or actor in all Bridges's films since The Last Picture Show (1971)
I met Jeff on The Last Picture Show, which I had a small part in, and we hit it off really well during the rehearsal period and started hanging out together. He was trying to polish his southern accent for the film, so he was taking his cue from mine. I stayed in Los Angeles after we finished looping, and started pursuing an acting career. One day, while talking with Jeff on the phone, I mentioned that there weren't any parts coming my way; he suggested, since he was going to Europe to start a film, perhaps he could help if I was interested in being a stand-in for him.

The Swell Season
Directed by Nick August-Perna & Chris Dapkins
2011, USA
The Swell Season provides the next chapter of a hopefully long and amazing journey of folk rock musicians Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, 2007 Academy Award winners for best original song, Falling Slowly, from the film Once. These struggling artists’ lives embrace the vision of following one’s musical and cinematic dream where ever that may lead.
The initial tones of quiet and at times riveting concert footage, oozes of Lennon and Ono-type muse relationship. Glen and Marketa’s chemistry is not without doubts, pitfalls, and new peaks to conquer. Directors August-Perna and Dapkins stay distant enough from their dynamic to allow these now rising artists to show audiences who they are. In an era of ever-diminishing privacy, especially for celebrities, this film brilliantly broaches the subject of an artist’s inner creative self, and to what extent fans crave artists...
