Character actor Bill Moseley is in the unique position of having one of those recognizable faces that frequently spawns a sense of unnerved dread or disgust when people place it. But that’s a good thing, actually. With dozens of credits to his name, the amiable Moseley has carved out a position as the star or featured player in a number of horror flicks with high cult appeal. He made his mark as Chop Top in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and, years later, Otis B. Driftwood in Rob Zombie’s directorial debut, House of 1000 Corpses, a role he reprised in The Devil’s Rejects. His latest movie is The Tortured, in which he plays a pedophile and murderer who claims the young son of Jesse Metcalfe and Erika Christensen. I had a chance to speak to Moseley one-on-one recently, about the movie, some of his weird experiences with horror fans, his lifelong love of music, and his role in the upcoming The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.

Brave
The thirteenth animated feature film from Pixar Studios, Scottish-set Brave is essentially a body-swap movie impressed upon a comfortable fable-of-yore narrative template, wherein an at-odds parent and child rediscover their love for one another against a backdrop of magic-infused conflict. Amiable and action-packed without being overbearing about it, and marked by a new level of visual complexity, even by Pixar standards, the film peddles with assurance and panache the pleasant tale of a new young heroine, even if the payoff of its more traditional legend elements is a bit stilted.
