Maybe Robin Thicke and Pharrell are going deaf, maybe they're going blind, but either way, they aren't going to take that "Blurred Lines" court decision lying down: On Monday they filed a motion to appeal a jury's decision in March that their 2013 hit improperly borrowed the "groove" from Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up." The original verdict ordered the duo to pay $7.4 million — since reduced to $5.3 million, with $3.2 million of that having already been paid (Thicke owes an additional $1.8 million and Williams an additional $360,000) — in damages to Gaye's family, who also asked that Thicke and Pharrell stop selling the song until they paid up. The family's attorney, Paul Phillips, told the Wrap he was confident the controversial ruling would be upheld: "This appeal only delays the inevitable — we aren’t going anywhere." Hey hey hey.

The Tribeca festival played a small, but not insignificant, role in that recovery, inviting artists and film lovers to the city and reassuring New Yorkers that life can be beautiful even in the darkest of days.

The Movie: The Call (2013) Studio: TriStar Pictures Director: Brad Anderson Starring: Halle Berry as Jordan Turner, Abigail Breslin as Casey Welson, Morris Chestnut as Officer Paul Phillips, Michael Eklund as Michael Foster, David Otunga as Officer Jake Devans and Michael Imperioli as Alan Denado Screenwriter: Richard D'Ovidio (Thir13en Ghosts) RottenTomatoes: 40% MetaCritic: 52/100 Snippet from My Review: (read my full review here) A lot of critical attention targeting The Call will focus on yet another questionable decision made by Halle Berry when it comes to her post-Oscar career (an award she won 11 years ago by the way). Fair, though tiresome. Instead, The Call should be looked at as another film that actually could have been quite decent had the storytelling decisions not opened up the entire film to a series of nitpicks, the ending being the worst offender. Starter Thoughts My biggest problem with the film was the number of times the...

Unless you've been living under a rock or something for the past couple of decades, you've probably heard at least few tunes from platinum-selling rockers Puddle of Mudd, whose hit singles have found their way into movies, TV episodes and video games... but they didn't really appear on the FEARnet horror radar until they found the perfect location to shoot the video for their 2007 single Psycho – where else but the actual Bates Motel and Norman's house on the hill from the Hitchcock classic of the same name? They also managed to throw in a few funny nods to flicks like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist and Halloween. It's ironic that Mudd guitarist Paul Phillips was on leave from the band that...
