Eli Roth Interview For The Last Exorcism I recently caught up with director, actor, writer and producer Eli Roth for the gut-twistingly creepy 'The Last Exorcism'.

Seven Easy Steps to Landing the Interview! Interviewing for anything can be stressful to anybody, no matter the situation. It could be for a job, just a simple questionnaire, or an internship. For this article, I'll touch on the last of the three, internships, and seven easy ways to help you walk in there and blow them away with your great interview skills!1) Smile You can never underestimate the power of the smile. Right away, before any words are spoken, walk into the building with a smile. If the interviewer, their secretary, or even the janitor sees you walking in with the teeth showing, they'll have a positive outlook of you right away.2) Shake hands Ok, so you smiled. Next would be to shake the hand of the interviewer, or whoever is greeting you. Positivity is infectious, and a firm handshake shows them that you mean business, just don't overdo it. Giving them the Vulcan death grip may be too much, just a nice firm grip will do.3) Eye contact So by now you're probably sitting down at the desk, table or just a set of chairs. This could get very intimidating to someone who isn't used to this form of interaction. The one thing that is a must in an interview, is always...more

Dominic West Interview For Centurion I recently caught up with Dominic West to talk about Centurion. In Centurion West stars as a tough as nails Roman general in a gripping story of survival. As a HUGE – so huge the capslock was needed – fan of The Wire, West will always have a completely heterosexual spot in my heart as McNulty, one of the great characters in Television history.What appealed to you about Centurion?Dominic West: The sword fighting, the horses, the shields and battles…it's all boy's own stuff. Yet I was being paid for taking part!What were you looking forward to most, when you read the script?Dominic West: Having a mud fight with the beautiful actress Olga Kurylenko. Unfortunately, they gave her a long pole with which she was able to keep me at arm's length. I wanted to get down and dirty in all that mud.It looked like a tough shoot with all the snow and mud.Dominic West: It was tough from the first minute of filming to the very last. The director wanted realism at all times and he was not going to make it look soft or pretty. So you had to live as you might have lived in Roman Britain. If it was cold – and some days it was freezing, at...more
