Royal Pains star Mark Feuerstein has teamed with longtime pals Adam Stein and Sam Friedlander to co-create hourlong drama Flipside, which tracks three best friends as they live out two distinct alternate paths after graduating from college – one that sees them staying in their Minnesota hometown and another in which they chase their dreams in New York City. Feuerstein, Friedlander, and Stein previously collaborated on comedy short Lazy Monday, a response video to SNL‘s Lazy Sunday digital sketch. The trio will take Flipside out to networks next week before Feuerstein returns to Royal Pains to film the upcoming sixth season. As part of their pitch for Flipside, Stein and Friedlander shot a proof of concept teaser starring Ben Goldsmith, Meg Cionni, and Blake Cooper Griffin as the central besties. The co-creators credit the video with garnering them preliminary interest from broadcast and cable nets. Canadian production company Muse Entertainment...

Review by Sam Moffitt
I was as shocked and saddened as anyone at hearing of the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Not that long ago I wrote a review of Jack Goes Boating for We Are Movie Geeks, directed by Hoffman and starring him in an amazing performance. I’m glad I did that as I had no way of knowing Hoffman wouldn’t be with us much longer. I cannot comment on the problems he had with addictions. I had my own substance issues for years. I never lost a job or stole anything to support any habit and I never had to go into rehab, I simply quit using anything. Two cups of coffee is about as wild as I get these days.
Of course the Hollywood haters came out on the internet and in newspaper letter columns slamming Hoffman and the entire Hollywood lifestyle. Again, I can...

If you haven't caught up on Crackle's brash action comedy series The Hustler yet, you might want to take a break from what you're doing and go do just that. Today marks the end of the 11-episode debut season of the original web series from creators Sam Friedlander and Mark Feuerstein, with the release of the plot-turning finale (above). Friedlander and Feuerstein are a classic producing duo—one half filmmaker, one half veteran actor. The pair, along with partner Adam B. Stein make up La-based Supdawg Productions, which has a handful of web, TV and film projects in development. Friedlander and Stein both were finalists in 2007's On the Lot reality series, where the two young filmmakers compete for a Dreamworks development deal.

Television and film star Mark Feuerstein (The West Wing, What Women Want) is The Hustler: a grown man with an intense hatred for children. Well, perhaps hatred is a bit strong, and his ill will isn’t only directed at children. The Hustler has got it out for anyone related to former middle school football coach, Bernie Goldman. For Mr. Goldman (Al Brown, aka The Wire’s Mjr. Valchek) is the man responsible for Travis “Hustler” Hustleberg being cheated out of his coveted middle school football touchdown record. Revenge is the order of the day now. The Goldman family must be on guard during bar mitzvahs, birthday parties, and other rights of passage. Even the elderly are not immune, as the participants of the Castle Hill Retirement Community’s tennis tournament will attest. The Hustler is self-consciously ridiculous and very, very self-consciously (and neurotically) Jewish. Given the fixation on revenge and the past,...
