Actor Gabriel Macht is best known for his role as Harvey Specter in the legal drama Suits. The actor’s swagger and sophisticated performance received renewed interest last year when it debuted on Netflix and introduced Specter to a whole new generation of audiences. The response was so good that a spinoff show is currently in development.
Macht has prided himself in being a family man and has, in fact, taken a break from acting ever since the end of the series. However, even while filming he managed to keep his family close, with his wife Jacinda Barrett and his father Stephen Macht playing recurring roles. One rumor about his daughter Satine being a part of the series was debunked.

Everyone has their own unique choice for the best Stephen King movie — but what's the worst?
Before Stephen King became a best selling millionaire novelist, he scratched by a meager living selling short stories on the side. Some of those early short stories appeared in the University of Maine literary journal "Ubris," but King finally made one of his first professional sales with "Graveyard Shift," a horror story purchased and published by the magazine "Cavalier" in 1970. The story would later end up in King's well-loved short story collection "Night Shift," a book that served as a kind of gateway drug to budding King fans. And as long as there have been Stephen King books there have been Stephen King movies — his 1974 debut novel "Carrie" was adapted to the screen by 1976. From there, Hollywood was off and running, bring King's work to the movies left and right.

Director Fred Dekker’s 1987 cult classic monster mash The Monster Squad (watch it Here) features variations of the classic Universal Monsters characters Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, and the Gillman, but it wasn’t actually a Universal production. So to avoid getting in trouble with Universal, the movie’s effects crew at the Stan Winston Studio had to create their own specific designs of the creatures… but that didn’t stop them from sneaking homages to the original monsters in there. It has been known for a while now that designers Steve Wang and Matt Rose hid the face of the original Creature from the Black Lagoon somewhere on the neck of their Gillman suit. Now – as pointed out by Monster Squad super-fan Shawn Robare of Plastic Rocket Pop – the exact location of that face has been found!

With a love of cinema woven into its DNA, The Monster Squad helped indoctrinate ’80s kids to the classic monsters. The generation that grew up watching it on home video and HBO look back on the 1987 film with the same reverence director Fred Dekker had for the Universal monster movies, and now they’re passing it down in a similar fashion. There’s no better way to introduce the next generation than with the new 4K edition.
Conceived as “The Little Rascals meets the Universal Monsters,” the cleverly-plotted film clocks in at a tight 82 minutes. The punchy script by Dekker and Shane Black doesn’t have an ounce of fat on it, save for the casual homophobia, misogyny, and body shaming of the time. Drawing inspiration from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, human characters offer well-placed levity and a bevy of memorable one-liners, but the monsters are played straight.

Gabriel Macht may have made a name for himself on "Suits," but it turns out, acting chops run in the family. His father, Stephen Macht, is not only a seasoned actor, but was also a recurring character on his son's hit drama series.
Stephen kicked off his acting career in the '70s and was best known for credits like "The Monster Squad" and Stephen King's "Graveyard Shift," before starring opposite Gabriel's Harvey Specter on "Suits." The 81-year-old actor portrayed Henry Gerard, a legal ethics professor at Harvard Law School. Stephen appeared in six episodes in seasons three through nine, with his character both butting heads and teaming up with Harvey on several occasions. As one of the few who was aware of Mike Ross's secret, Gerard played a pivotal role in keeping Mike from being exposed as a fraud.
"Gabriel coaches me as Professor Gerard; the student has become the teacher.

If you're just catching up on "Suits," you may have noticed the long-running series is packed with cameos connected to the cast in real life. One exciting appearance is by actor Jacinda Barrett, Gabriel Macht's real-life wife of almost 20 years. She plays Harvey's love interest in season two, a former lawyer named Zoe. Though the Australian actor is only in three episodes, the pair's chemistry is undeniable.
In season two, we learn that Zoe, a fellow Harvard Law School graduate and former Pearson Hardman colleague, dated Harvey five years prior. They reunite when Zoe is brought on as a jury consultant in Harvey's case, but ultimately, their relationship ends quickly as Zoe has to leave the state to take care of her niece. Zoe has since become a fan favorite of Harvey's girlfriends, though it's hard to rival Harvey and Donna's will-they-won't-they relationship on screen.

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
Despite featuring the most awkward title yet, it’s my pleasure to report that Amityville 1992: It’s About Time is a top-tier entry in the Amityville Horror series.
Thanks primarily to assured direction by Hellbound: Hellraiser 2’s Tony Randel and a wild script from writers Christopher DeFaria and Antonio Toro (based loosely on a book by John G. Jones), the sixth entry in the Amityville series is a genuine delight from top to bottom.
Many of the franchise’s key elements are here: the iconic windows, a widowed character, the dysfunctional family, goopy practical FX, and a new cursed object. Here it’s a clock, which is immediately described by a character as “ugly,” continuing a trend that began with the lamp in The Evil Escapes.

William Lucking, the actor best known for his role as biker Piney Winston on the hit series “Sons of Anarchy,” died on Oct. 18 in his Las Vegas home. Lucking was 80.
“Although William often played toughs and strongmen, in his actual life he was an elegant man with a brilliant intellect who loved to argue about politics and current affairs, discuss philosophy and physics and assert fine-pointed opinions about art and poetry,” his wife Sigrid Insull Lucking wrote in an obituary posted on Facebook by his friend and fellow actor Stephen Macht.
Lucking famously played Samcro member Piermont “Piney” Winston on 35 episodes of Kurt Sutter’s FX crime drama “Sons of Anarchy,” from the start of the series through the fourth season (2008 to 2011).

Perry King has been hard-working actor for 50 years. Recently, he made his directorial debut with the feature The Divide, which he also stars in. King always dreamt of directing his own movie, and he directed The Divide with skill and honesty outside of the Hollywood system. His own Californian cattle ranch in El Dorado County served as a backdrop. The Divide, a good-natured, neo-Western, tells the strory of Jack, a rancher suffering from the onset of dementia. The feature was shot entirely in black-and-white, evoking Perry King’s favorite frontier dramas from his favorite classic Hollywood directors.
Perry King has been an acting legend since making his film debut as Billy Pilgrim’s son Robert in George Roy Hill’s remarkable Slaughterhouse-five in 1972.

If you’re a horror fan, then chances are you love The Monster Squad. With that in mind, I think anyone who generally reads a genre website already has a pretty good grasp on just why The Monster Squad has endured for over 30 years, becoming even more popular now than it was three decades ago, and so going into André Gower’s documentary, Wolfman’s Got Nards, I was intrigued to see what he was going to bring to the table for his directorial debut, because I felt like we’d seen a good amount of material out there thus far that has done a solid job of diving into the 1987 horror comedy.
But as Wolfman’s Got Nards weaves through a variety of talking head segments, Q&A footage, and delightful animatics, it becomes clear why Gower is the perfect person to capture all the happenings that coincided with...

"...the alien 'Maurice' (Lionel Mark Smith), 'Sam' (Tad Horino) and the female android 'Galaxina' (Dorothy Stratten)..."
Stratten, 'Playboy Playmate Of The Year' was killed by her loser boyfriend in a murder/suicide shortly after the film's release and became the subject of director Bob Fosse's feature "Star 80" (1983).
Besides its homage and parodies of "Star Trek" (1966), "Star Wars" (1977) and "Alien" (1979), "Galaxina" is noted as having won the 'Audience Award' at the 1983 'Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film'.

Our revisiting of the screen adapations of Stephen King's work arrives at Graveyard Shift...
The film: An abandoned textile mill has been re-opened, but is infested with rats and has a basement full of junk that needs clearing out. Tempting a group with double pay, foreman Warwick (Stephen Macht), pronounced 'War-Wick' by everyone in the film, gets them to start cleaning out the basement. Newcomer and seemingly professional drifter John (David Andrews) is part of the group that discovers rats may not be the only thing infesting the tunnels beneath the mill.

"Suits" is committed to keeping Mike's secret away from Louis Litt, and "Yesterday's Gone" makes it clear why: Louis loves the letter of the law and won't let anything compromise that.
Since the rest of the episode is about people sticking closer to truth than to the law, Louis is in the minority. Maybe that's why he caves to the peer pressure and doesn't destroy Mike when he has the chance.
Is it over? Probably not, but Mike and Harvey at least get a reprieve. Find out how it turns out in this recap.
There's someone more Louis-y than Louis
When Mike got that faked Harvard transcript a season or two ago, it turns out that his hacker made one big mistake: She awarded an A+ in Professor Gerard's ethics class. And no one gets an A+ in that class.
Because of this, Louis knows that Mike could not have...

It's not over yet between Louis Litt and Mike Ross on "Suits" Season 3. In the upcoming episode, "Yesterday's Gone," Louis brings in a Harvard professor, Dr. Gerard (played by Stephen Macht, father of "Suits" star Gabriel Macht), who can destroy Mike's scam altogether.
Videos from the episode show just how serious an issue this is.
Tensions are obviously high in the promo for "Yesterday's Gone." It almost seems like a storm is descending upon Pearson Specter.
All of this is because Louis is convinced that Mike is hiding a secret regarding the younger lawyer's past at Harvard. His own morals don't allow him to just give up, even when Rachel comes to plead on Mike's behalf.
Louis' dilemma is centered on an impossible grade Mike supposedly got from Professor Gerard while in Law School. Considering the unbending nature of the man that Harvey confronts in this final video, Mike definitely needs to watch out.

Entertainment Weekly: Let’s start with Jessica asking Scottie, who’s now in a relationship with Harvey and joining the firm, to pay her six-figure buy-in upfront instead of after the typical trial period.
Aaron Korsh: We wanted to shine a light on the fact that the name of the firm had changed quite a bit: It went from Pearson Hardman, to Pearson, to Pearson Darby, to Pearson Darby Specter, to Pearson Specter.

At the NBC cable day for the 2014 TCA press tour, USA released a new teaser trailer for "Suits" Season 3b, which returns in less than two months -- and picks back up with Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) having discovered that there's no record of Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) ever attending Harvard.
"It's going to take a few episodes to get through the Louis portion of it, but it will have ramifications on every character through the last six [episodes]," says creator Aaron Korsh.
Hoffman adds, "As far as uncovering the secret, I think these next six episodes ... in a very smart way, the writers created a much deeper, more dangerous type of situation. It's not something that keeps getting played over and over again. There's a real serious, serious element of deceit."

Stephen Macht, the real-life father of "Suits" star Gabriel Macht (Harvey Specter), will appear in an episode of that show's Season 3 winter run.
Macht, an actor with a career spanning more than five decades, will make his appearance in the second episode when "Suits" returns for more of Season 3 in 2014. According to TVLine, he will play Professor Gerard, a notoriously rigid Harvard professor with very high standards.
"He plays an integral role in one of the through-line storylines in the back 6," "Suits" executive producer Aaron Korsh said in an interview. "He does not have a positive history with Harvey Specter. They have a conflictual scene."
Probably best known for playing Trevor Lansing on "General Hospital," the elder Macht's career includes repeat appearances on "Cagney and Lacey," "Knots Landing" and "Murder, She Wrote." The actor has also had a limited academic career as a professor with a PhD in dramatic literature from Indiana University.

Last year we ran a schedule of every TV/Cable network schedule we could find that could be construed as Horror or Halloween related for the month of October. Let’s just say it proved useful for our readers and even for our staff when they were looking to find something to watch, wanted to program their DVR’s or didn’t want to miss out on some great “live” Horror. Isn’t there something about having a movie fed to you on TV as opposed to watching it on Blu-ray or DVD or streaming? We may not like commercials, but the randomness that you can associate with a TV program itinerary is novel. It removes a little bit of control from the audience who is all to concerned with being in control these days (just look at the reasons behind publishing a piece like this).

Some horror fans automatically have a negative connotation attached to franchises with a lot of sequels. Moreover, some have antipathy toward direct to video sequels and make assumptions that because they were not in the theater that they are automatically going to be bad regardless.

Despite a handful of notable exceptions, horror sequels aren't exactly known for being the greatest movies in the world. Franchises typically overstay their welcome for far too long, resulting in never-ending cash grab sequels that are endlessly inferior to the films that spawned them. For every exceptional sequel like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors or Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, there are several well past their prime installments like Hellraiser: Revelations and Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood, which is why we horror fans tend to look down on sequels, sight unseen. Unfortunately, because of the proven track record of horror sequels, and the bad feelings that are inherently attached to them, there are a handful of truly impressive sequels that don't get a whole lot of respect, simply because they're either attached to franchises that fans had long given up on by the time they came around,...

I don't usually like using the term "guilty pleasure" because I rarely feel guilty about the films I like. But this adaptation of one of Stephen King's earliest (and most fun) short stories is such a mixed bag that it's hard to type out any kind of legitimate defense.
It had been quite a few years since I last viewed Graveyard Shift, and so I was curious to see if revisiting it would sustain my initial impression. Over the years I've found that the author's most hardcore fans are the most dismissive of this film, the general consensus being that the filmmakers took an atmospheric and claustrophobic story and failed in recreating any of those feelings. I don't necessarily agree with the assessment, however. If Graveyard Shift does anything right, it's the atmosphere part, the problem being that it never amounts to more than a subpar monster movie -...

Spur of the moment change to the 31 Days line up (due to unforseen circumstances) and I decided to grab this little Stephen King number. This is one of the few adaptations I haven’t seen, and a couple of friends of mine like to go on and on about it. I had no idea what this was about or what to expect. You know what? I had a blast!
This number is based on a Stephen King short story, and you can tell. Something like this is more suited to say Tales From The Crypt or Masters Of Horror, but screenwriter John Esposito and director Ralph Singleton kept it short and managed to lay on enough meat to make it work. This is how you expand upon a short story successfully and keeping it the right length to avoid it getting drawn out.

From man-eating beds to killer clocks, cinema’s full of evil in unexpected places. Here are ten of our favourites…
There are spoilers ahead for some of the films we talk about!
As several decades of cinema have informed us, evil takes many forms. Aside from all the serial killers and ancient demons waiting to either leap out of the shadows and murder us or simply scare us into a weeping ruin, movies are also full of killer cars, malevolent dolls and rampaging animals to contend with.
Given that entire lists could be generated from those menaces outlined above, we’ll be dealing with more obscure manifestations of evil here. The sort of demonic objects you might win on The Generation Game if it were presented by the Devil, or the kind of unlikely scenarios you'd encounter if you were the star of a horror film directed by Benny Hill.

Aside from all the serial killers and ancient demons waiting to either leap out of the shadows and murder us or simply scare us into a weeping ruin, movies are also full of killer cars, malevolent dolls and rampaging animals to contend with.
Given that entire lists could be generated from those menaces outlined above, we’ll be dealing with more obscure manifestations of evil here. The sort of demonic objects you might win on The Generation Game if it were presented by the Devil, or the kind of unlikely scenarios you'd encounter if you were the star of a horror film directed by Benny Hill.

With S.W.A.T: Firefight out on DVD this week, our friend Harrison Pierce sat down with actor Gabriel Macht and director Benny Boom to talk all things S.W.A.T. 2…
Gabriel, what appealed to you about this role and film?
Gabriel: I’d done a film called Middle Men and I played an I.T. guy and a rocket scientist and there was no real action other than a couple slap fights and wrestling. That was a lot of fun. I love that movie. Then I made this film called Love and Other Drugs, where I was a pharmaceutical salesman. It’s just been a while since I made an action film and I wanted to get back into that and involve myself in the physical demands of being in that type of environment. I sat down with Benny and I liked his vision and I thought the character was really interesting.

ABC is quite generous in sharing the first look at the next episode of its TV series "Castle". The network gives away 11-minute footage of the "Nikki Heat" episode via Hulu. It kicks off with Castle complaining about how his character, Nikki Heat, is portrayed in a movie. He slams the actress and the scriptwriter for not doing good-enough jobs.
Later, he goes to a crime scene to investigate a woman murder with Beckett, Ryan and Esposito. They are joined by a surprise guest Natalie Rhodes, the actress who plays Heat in the movie adaptation. She is doing a "character research" to help transform herself into the spitting image of Beckett.
Laura Prepon ("October Road" "That '70s Show") is tapped to play Rhodes. The other additional cast are Thomas Calabro, Stephen Macht, Melody Thomas Scott, Randall Batinkoff. "Nikki Heat" will air on January 3, 2011.

Welcome to Where Everyone Has Gone Before, the column in which I continue my film education before your very eyes by seeking out and watching all of the movies we all know I should have seen by now. I will first judge the movie before I've watched it, based entirely on its reputation (and my potentially misguided thoughts). Then I will give the movie a fair chance and actually watch it. You will laugh at me, you may condemn me, but you will never say I didn't try! And we all know what Yoda said about trying.
The Film: 'The Monster Squad' (1987), Dir. Fred Dekker
Starring: Andre Gower, Robby Kiger, Stephen Macht, Duncan Regehr and Tom Noonan.
Why I Haven't Seen It Until Now: I've been burnt by 1980s movies far too many times. Nostalgia is a powerful beast, blinding even the most...

The stars of the classic CBS cop drama, Cagney & Lacey, recently reunited to be interviewed by Et. Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly are still friends, call from time to time, and joked that they have to talk about their old show once a year so that they can actually see each other.
Cagney & Lacey aired from 1982 until 1988 and revolves around two female cops who fight crime in a man's world, while also dealing with plenty of personal challenges. Others in the cast include John Karlen, Al Waxman, Martin Kove, Carl Lumbly, Harvey Atkin, Troy W. Slaten, Tony La Torre, Paul Mantee, Sidney Clute, Robert Hegyes, Barry Laws, Dick O'Neill, Beverley Faverty, Stephen Macht, Jo Corday, and Michael Fairman.
The series was cancelled after one season due to low ratings. But, a letter-writing campaign convinced CBS to bring the series back and it landed in the top ten for season two.
