BWW Recap: BLACKLIST Warns, Don't Phish With This Creel
by Marakay Rogers - Oct 14, 2014

This week, we managed to learn only that she isn't Red's missing daughter, Jennifer. In non-Keen news, we learned that Naomi's real name is Carla and that Red was a lousy husband.

New Film THE DOG Opens in NY 8/8 and LA 8/15
by Courtnie Mele - May 31, 2014


Coming of age in the 1960's, John Wojtowicz' libido was unrestrained even by the libertine standards of the era, with multiple wives and lovers, both women and men. In August 1972, he attempted to rob a Brooklyn bank to finance his lover's sex-reassignment surgery, resulting in a fourteen-hour hostage situation that was broadcast live on television. Three years later, John was portrayed by Al Pacino as 'Sonny,' and his crime immortalized in one of the most iconic New York movies of all time, Dog Day Afternoon. The Film had a profound influence on Wojtowicz (who pronounced his name 'Woto-wits'), and when he emerged from a six-year prison sentence, he was known by his self-imposed nickname: 'The Dog.'
