Hey everybody, another update while I'm still on winter break. Just because I work tirelessly in between getting up at noon and occasionally going to my town's Village Tavern, I hammered out a spotlight for TheCinemaSource on Alpha Dog's Shawn Hatosy. Cool for two reasons:

1. While the previews for the movie look vaguely like a bunch of pretty boys (Justin Timberlake included) trying to pretend they can act, don't be fooled so quickly. It got great reviews out of Sundance, where it was their official Closing Night Selection, it's based on an intriguing true story, and it boasts supporting actors with names like Bruce Willis. I haven't seen it yet, though, so the jury's still out.

2. Shawn Hatosy played the reformed jock Stan in The Faculty. How cool is that? (Anyone disputing that movie's greatness is in denial.)

If you're interested, there's also other spotlights (though not by me) up from most of the principles as well as director Nick Cassavetes (who oddly enough is the same guy who made The Notebook, which is a very different film).

Update: the end of the spotlight was previously cut off thanks to a typo of mine that screwed up the html (fascinating, I know) so it's a few paragraphs longer now.
