This week we take a special look at amazing world of moustaches and all the goodness it has given to the world including Movember . If you haven t heard of movember (which with this cast we admit are very late with) then check out www.movember.com From Wikipedia Movember (a portmanteau of the words Moustache and November ), is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to have been invented in 1999 by group of Australian men from Adelaide. Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men s health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, in Australia and New Zealand.

Cinematical has just received the following title track for Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' original and haunting film score for The Road. It's simple and chilling -- just as any accompaniment to a post-apocalyptic world should be -- full of violin and piano tunes, some wind instruments and sound loops. The soundtrack is being released digitally today over at Amazon, with further digital retailers tomorrow and a CD release to follow on January 12, 2010. We first alerted you to the score back in March, and then to the duo's Soundtrack Collection in September. As you might have gathered, some of us are big Cave & Ellis fans. And rightly so. They provided an award-winning score for John Hillcoat's earlier feature The Proposition (which Cave also wrote), and also scored The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. And of course, that's besides their work in Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, which has memorable cinematic ties to Wings of Desire (before Ellis teamed up with Cave). Too often these days it's easy to get pulled out of movies due to overly imposing and grandoise film scores desperately trying to yank at emotions, rather than just lightly coaxing the right feel for a particular scene, and Cave and Ellis definitely know how to let simplicity reign. Check out the clip and track list after the jump and grab it over here at Amazon.Filed under: Drama, Music & Musicals, New Releases, Fandom, Home EntertainmentContinue reading Exclusive: Title Track for 'The Road' Soundtrack Permalink | Email this | Comments

The Rotten Tomatoes Show is a movie review show that airs on Thursday nights at 10:30 e/p on Current TV.

I usually don't like kids in the movies all that much. Maybe I'm missing that maternal gene, or maybe I'm just not that into the little rugrats. But suffice to say that I sometimes have a pretty dark view of children, and that's why I love The Bad Seed -- and I especially love little Rhoda Penmark. The Bad Seed was based on William March's novel about a murderous little girl who terrorizes her family and friends, and by the time it's all said and done, she comes up with relatively respectable body count. The 1956 film was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starred Patty McCormack as the pigtailed terror, and in spite of a tacked-on ending to satisfy the Hays code at the time, the film is still considered on of the penultimate 'creepy kid' flicks. But what set Rhoda apart is that usually when you have murderous kids, the moral caveat is usually that they are outside the 'normal run of things', leaving our heroes to dispatch the bad guy without any hand-wringing about harming children. So most films give you kids like Damian (the Antichrist himself) or those creepy little buggers from Village of The Damned who come from another planet -- but with Rhoda, there is no one to blame but her. Although in both the film and the original book, there is an argument that she is just the victim of her family tree, but that's not exactly the same as the supernatural kids in those other horror films. There is no excuse for why Rhoda is the way she is, and she reminds you that evil can come in all kinds of packages -- and that's why to this day, the sight of her skipping away with her braids swinging remains as one of my most beloved movie villain moments. After the jump; some of Rhoda's creepier moments and a tribute to her lasting inspiration to the macabre everywhere...Filed under: Classics, Horror, Thrillers, Fandom, Trailers and ClipsContinue reading Villains We Love: Rhoda Penmark, 'The Bad Seed' Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Concerts and Tours, Canada It's not Ryan Gosling's fault he's a famous actor. But just because he's, ahem, moonlighting as a musician doesn't mean he's gone the way of Bruce Willis. As Gosling and pal Zach Shields made clear during last night's Toronto performance, their spook-rock duo Dead Man's Bones is more art project than vanity project. Gosling did boast a slight smirk when he took the stage before a sold-out crowd, which included the Canadian actor's mother. The look wasn't from smugness but rather simple acknowledgment of the strangeness of performing after a woman skipping rope with her poodle (a local talent show has taken place on every tour date in place of opening bands). Then a children's choir, dressed in their Halloween finest, emerged to croon along to songs about werewolves, zombies, slow-dancing with ghosts and cemeteries where 'Flowers Grow Out of My Grave.'

Filed under: News, Exclusive, Book Club, Movies, Television Nick Cave is no stranger to the big screen. Along with fellow Bad Seed Warren Ellis, he's scored 'The Assassination of Jesse James' and 'The Road,' penned the scripts to 'The Proposition' and a forthcoming feature entitled 'The Death of a Ladies Man' and even dabbled as an actor, popping up in Wim Wenders' 1987 film 'Wings of Desire' as well as ' Jesse James.' But when we spoke to him about his new novel, we were certain that he had aspirations to translate the adventures of his main character 'Bunny Munro' into a film. He said that's not so -- instead, Cave is shooting for the small screen. "I want to do a TV series or at least like a three-part TV series," Cave tells Spinner. "You can go deeper with TV in a way, within actually creating a character. You have more time to live with the character."
