CRIMINAL MINDS: JOE TALKS ABOUT GOOD VS. EVIL

Criminal Minds: Joe Mantegna, David Rossi on Criminal Minds, talks about evil.

In a film centering on the age-old battle of good vs. evil, the villain has the capacity to make or break the movie. Next week, Starz Inside will air an hour-long special that digs into the makings of a great villain as it relates to film. What makes them tick? Are they just in it for the fun or do their motivations run a bit deeper than that?

Starz Inside: Unforgettably Evil features numerous actors, directors and producers as they discuss modern and classic film, with an emphasis on the villains and what it was that made them such memorable characters in film history. Clips from films like The Dark Knight, No Country For Old Men and others are shown to illustrate the subject. Below is Starz’s description for the special, which is likely to appeal to anyone who loves (or loves to hate) the film’s villain:

“The special investigates the psychology behind classic villains and the often startlingly simple way in which they grind on the audience’s nerves while playing on their fears. From Alien to Terminator, villains do not necessarily have to be human to be bad. Villains are as old as time itself, and allow the screenwriters of the future to keep audiences squirming in their seats with the help of these characters, who know exactly how to push our buttons. Interviews include Tobin Bell, Malcolm McDowell, Daryl Hannah, Live Schreiber, David Carradine, Eric Roberts, Joe Mantegna, Bruce Greenwood, Stan Lee and Eli Roth.

Starz Inside: Unforgettably Evil premieres Tuesday,July 28, 2009 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT

CRIMINAL MINDS MODS TAKE HOTCH ALONG!

Criminal Minds: A wonderful picture and note from Bri and Kirsten, two of our wonderful Criminal Minds blog and website moderators:

HOTCH’S POPULARITY REACHES NEW HEIGHTS (literally!)

Canadian Criminal Minds mods Bri & Kirst recently met for the first time in Alberta. As expected of two Hotch fans, they got along fabulously! They packed a lot into ten days but one of the highlights was their walk on Columbia Icefield’s Athabasca Glacier, the largest body of ice in the Rocky Mountains at 325 sq km (130 sq miles) with an estimated depth of 365m (1200 ft). During one of many ‘Hotch’ conversations, they decided to take their favourite character with them onto the glacier and managed to create their sign at one of the campgrounds while watching a Hotch-centric epi on Bri’s ipod! Gotta love portable Criminal Minds!!! At ~ 3000m elevation, Hotch’s fame seems to have no limits.

Bring on September 23!

Hugs!

Bri & Kirst
