Although Lost in Reviews was invited to sit down with My Week with Marilyn director Curtis Smith for an interview, scheduling conflicts made that impossible.  The next best thing is providing you with  the video of  the Question and Answer session with Curtis that took place after a screening of the film in Dallas.  Curtis was more than happy to talk at length about the film with the audience, and definitely gives some insight into the film that you may not know otherwise. Check out Ryan’s review and Sarah’s...

I was beyond excited to have snagged a red carpet spot for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Fan Event for Dallas, Texas.  I have always been a devout Twihard since I read the books.  Kansas City did not have many opportunities to do anything interview-wise for any of the Twilight Saga films.  I think I bothered the PR rep here enough that she kindly let me have a spot for this event.  It was like some kind dream come true (for me). We were able to interview Jackson Rathbone (Jasper), Nikki Reed (Rosalie), Ashley...

Lost in Reviews was able to attend a red carpet event in Dallas, Texas for Puss in Boots.   Both Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas  were in attendance, and we were able to get a very quick interview with them both.  Salma and Antonio voice the two main characters of the film, Kitty Softpaws and Puss in Boots. Puss in Boots is in theatres October 28, 2011. by Sarah Ksiazek Video edited by Ryan Davis Photos by Reanna Streater-Nunn

Hesher is available on DVD and Blu Ray on 9/13/11 so we thought it would be nice to revisit one of favorite interviews from SXSW. Enjoy the interview and make sure you pick up a copy of Hesher this Tuesday. I had briefly spoken with Director, Spencer Susser and some of the cast before my screening of Hesher at SXSW. However, I loved the film so much that I just had to sit back down with Spencer and pick his brain a bit more about the direction he used and how he shot Hesher. I would urge everyone to check out Hesher this Tuesday...

There have only been a few moments in my rabid fandom of film that a movie has hit this close to home and left me seeing myself in so much of it. Bellflower is one of those films. From the moment the film started I could tell that I was going to like it and by the time it was all over I had fallen in love. Bellflower is just that powerful of a film. So, when given the chance to interview the creator of my new favorite film, Evan Glodell, I jumped at the chance. I hope everyone has the chance to see this film and in the interview...

We had the privilege of sitting down with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn for an interview when he was in Dallas, Texas.  I really enjoyed the film and the uniqueness of it.  Through the three questions I was able to ask him, he added another level to the film that I never picked up on.  The idea of Ryan Gosling’s character as a superhero never occurred to me, and I am glad he used that word.  The interview may contain some little spoilers about the film if you do not know much about the plot of Drive.     by...

At this year Kanrocksas we had the chance to talk with Fitz of Fitz and the Tantrums right before they kicked off the inaugural show. We talk about Fitz’s relationship with Noelle, their live show, and the new album.  Check out the interview and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Guards had grabbed me with their free debut LP and released cover songs earlier this year and ever since then the album has yet to leave my iPod. With their performance at The Riot Room on Tuesday the band has turned me into a believer. Before I had the chance to catch the show I was given the opportunity to talk with Richie the front man for the band. We talked about Gaurds’ new album, Stage decorations and made fun of My Space a bit. As always enjoy the interview and let me know what you thought in the comments below....

Get to know the band Empires with me. After seeing a stellar set at The Record Bar on Thursday, I had to pull them aside, at least a couple of them, and find out more about them. The band, from Chicago, has been driving all over this country, and in this heat wave, with no air conditioning. So, the least you could do is give this interview a watch. Let me know what you think and be sure and check out Empires if they play a show near your home town. by Angela Davis

In light of the news from Comic Con that Jurassic Park 4 will finally see the light of day I was able to visit the park and talk with one of the best bands in the world, Foxy Shazam. Risking life and limb outside of one of the dinosaur’s cages we discuss the band’s new album, the future of Foxy Shazam, and their recent run in with the President. In all seriousness though if Foxy isn’t in your current iPod playlist I suggest you seek them out and if you know of the band and love the album you must see them live....

In support of the film, Sarah’s Key, author Tatiana de Rosnay was in Dallas to promote the film adaptation of her novel.  Lost in Reviews had the chance to sit down with Tatiana and discuss her book and the film.  It was enlightening to talk to the author of the book a film is based on since everything about the story originated with her.  Tatiana discusses how the film came about and her involvement in the process, how she chose the subject matter, and her more recent novels.  She also let us know at least one of her...

Lost in Reviews was invited to a Music for Relief benefit held at Plush nightclub in Dallas on June 6, 2011.  The event was formally titled Rocking the Red Carpet Benefit Presents Motley Crue/Poison & The New York Dolls 2011 Summer Tour Kickoff Event.  It was a red carpet event that was also open to the public to purchase tickets.  The event was presented by Randall Reed and co-hosted by Phoenix Benjamin, Greg Ingram, Drew Pearson, and Paul Salfen.  Phoenix Benjamin, Scott Oldner Band, and Brand New Machine were the...

Lost in Reviews was invited to a round table interview with Selena Gomez in Dallas, Texas.  Selena Gomez is a Dallas area native, and she was in town promoting her new movie, Monte Carlo, which opens July 1, 2011 nationwide.  We were able to bring a young fan with us, and I brought eight year old Madison Zdrojewski with me.  She was able to ask Selena a question towards the end of the interview.  Selena was gracious enough to sign a poster for Madison after the interview. In the interview, Selena talks about her music, her...

I had the pleasure of interviewing Buck Brannaman again in support of Buck in Dallas, Texas.  I tried to touch on all the praise and promotion this documentary has gotten since I first saw it at SXSW 2011.  Buck was also on The Late Show with David Letterman the night before my interview.  Buck talks about Eddie Vedder, the Academy Awards, how his family has reacted to all the fame, a recent outbreak of equine herpes that forced him to cancel some of his clinics, and how you would care for an older horse. I attended a screening...

I had a chance to talk with Kamtin Mohager of The Chain Gang of 1974 about his new album Wayward Fire available June 21. By Ryan Davis
