Title: High School Directed By: John Stalberg Starring: Matt Bush, Sean Marquette, Adrien Brody, Michael Chiklis, Colin Hanks, Adhir Kalyan Perhaps I’m a bit too liberal, but if someone back in high school plotted to get the entire student body high in attempt to not get in trouble for failing a drug test, even if I was a mere pawn in their ploy, I’d get a kick out of it and while that is very much true when the same event goes down in the movie High School, rather than relish in the genius and hilarity of the idea, an overly convoluted and silly plot puts it in a fog.  [ Read More ]

With all the young, up and coming actresses out there, you really don’t get much luckier than Kara Hayward. With only a few summer camp and school plays under her belt, Hayward not only got an opportunity to star in a feature film, but the chance to lead Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom. She plays Suzy Bishop, the young girl who catches the eye of Khaki Scout, Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman). After quite a bit of letter writing, the two 12-year-old lovebirds opt to run away together, Sam ditching Scout Master Randy Ward (Edward Norton) and the boys of Troop 55 and Suzy taking her kitten, but leaving her three little  [ Read More ]

In broad-strokes genre pieces, most of the best movie concepts can be delineated in concise fashion, and bring an instant, head-slapping (“Of course, why didn’t I think of that!”) sense of identification and intrigue. Such is certainly the case in director John Stahlberg’s “High School,” in which soon-to-be valedictorian Henry (Matt Bush) takes a healthy hit of weed from his estranged stoner friend, Breaux (Sean Marquette), the day before his deranged principal (Michael Chiklis) institutes a sweeping anti-drug policy that jeopardizes the academic goodwill and standing for which Henry has labored so long. Faced with being unable to pass the next day’s mandatory drug test for students, Henry and Breaux  [ Read More ]

She reflects neither of the titular attractions of the campy “Piranha 3DD,” the follow-up to 2010′s surprise, $80-million-grossing “Piranha 3D,” but Danielle Panabaker anchors the movie nonetheless, starring as level-headed graduate student Maddy, whose visions of a happy summer working at her stepfather’s water park get dashed, in bloody fashion. It almost certainly helped that Panabaker had hearty, previous genre experience, in the form of “Friday the 13th” and “The Crazies.” For ShockYa, Brent Simon had a chance to speak to Panabaker one-on-one recently, about the movie and its production, her admirable dedication to education, and a T-shirt she might have liberated from the wardrobe department. The conversation is excerpted  [ Read More ]
