Well, as you all know, I'm a huge fan of The X-Files and, consequently, a huge fan of Gillian Anderson. Below is a link to the trailer for her new movie called STRAIGHTHEADS that is to be released sometime in April. Apparently they tried submitting it to the Toronto Film Festival and the response was great, but they didn't get in because they were told it was too "nasty."

This is the online blog of first-time director Dan Reed, in which he documents the experience of making this movie. It's quite interesting to read--and fun. The trailer is on YOUTUBE (and has gotten very positive reviews) but I'd suggest watching the trailer on the above site for better quality (scroll down the page and you'll see the little "screen" where you can play the trailer). There's are also other fun videos throughout the blog.
ENJOY.
