Film critics may not always be kind to Paul W.S. Anderson, but those who enjoy their action-packed popcorn flicks have thrilled to his work ever since he helmed “Mortal Kombat” in 1995. Since then, he’s been responsible for several other video game adaptations, serving as writer, director, and producer of the first “Resident Evil” film, a writer and producer on its two sequels, and producer on “D.O.A.: Dead or Alive.” He’s also the man behind “AVP: Alien vs. Predator,” “Event Horizon,” and “Solider.” Bullz-Eye talked to Anderson in conjunction with the DVD release of his latest film – “Death Race,”…

It has been said of Pauley Perrette, who plays Abby Sciuto on CBS’s long-running Tuesday night drama, “NCIS,” that the character of Abby is actually a toned-down version of the real Pauley. Ms. Perrette herself does not believe this to be true, but it’s possible she may be a bit too close to the subject to be able to see the resemblance. All I’m saying is that I have met her on two occasions, and while I offer the caveat that I’m speaking of network-sponsored events where you would expect her to be on her best behavior, both encounters nonetheless…

I’ll be honest with you: for as much as I enjoyed doing this interview, my wife enjoyed me doing it a whole lot more. When I first told her that I had been offered the opportunity to chat with Matthew McConaughey, her first reaction was denial. (“No, you’re not!” “I am!” “No, you’re not!” “Swear to God, I AM!”) Once she wrapped her head around it, of course, she was on the phone immediately to tell her mother…and her friends…and, well, you get the idea. The occasion for Bullz-Eye getting the chance to chat with McConaughey came about in connection…

Bruce Campbell is perhaps the most iconic B-movie star in Hollywood, and he’s got the chin to prove it. Even with nearly 100 acting credits to his name (including roles in cult classics like “Bubba Ho-Tep,” blockbuster action movies like “Spider-Man 3,” and hit TV shows like “Burn Notice”), Bruce is still best known for his role as the shotgun-toting, chainsaw-revving hero from Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” series. While on a 21-city tour across the country promoting his new film, “My Name Is Bruce,” the veteran actor found some time to sit down with Bullz-Eye to discuss his dual role…

Whether you know him from “Kids in the Hall,” “NewsRadio,” one of his many films or one of his countless TV guest appearances, it’s probable that you’ll immediately recognize the face of Dave Foley from something or other. In addition to his occasional reunion tours with the Kids, Foley has continued to pop up on this show and that, and his latest gig is on, of all places, “Stargate: Atlantis.” Bullz-Eye had the opportunity to talk to Foley about going sci-fi, asked about his favorite “NewsRadio” episode, found out what it was like to work with Uwe Boll on “Postal,”…

Robin Tunney has been acting since she was a teenager, but it wasn’t until she found her way into the teen-movie circuit that she really started to make an impression on the masses. You may or may not remember her from “Encino Man,” and it’s possible that you didn’t realize that she was “the bald chick” in “Empire Records,” but just about everyone recalls her turn as Sarah Bailey in “The Craft.” But, c’mon, people, that was a long time ago. Tunney has done plenty of films since then, and in recent years, she’s started to carve herself a nice…

To call a film “the ‘Donnie Darko’ of superhero movies” is to offer the kind of phrase that makes film critics begin to twitch with excitement, but you can absolutely see that as a valid comparison when watching “Special.” The film, which stars Michael Rapaport and is co-written and co-directed by Jeremy Passmore and Hal Haberman, tells the tale of a poor schlub who signs up to be a pharmaceutical guinea pig, only to experience the bizarre side effect of thinking he’s developed superhuman abilities. After spending quite awhile on the festival circuit, “Special” has found its way to Magnolia…

Anyone who says accountants can’t be funny clearly isn’t a regular viewer of NBC’s “The Office.” Oscar Nunez plays the not-too-dissimilarly-named Oscar Martinez, a number cruncher at Dunder Mifflin who was unexpectedly taken out of the closet by his boss, Michael Scott (Steve Carell). But his most notable trait is the look of disdain he has not only for Michael but also for many of his barely competent co-workers. Bullz-Eye caught up with Nunez to discuss his work on “The Office,” but our conversation took place slightly later than anticipated, due to an unexpected scheduling conflict on his end. Bullz-Eye:…

After doing his time in small roles on shows like “Without a Trace,” “Crossing Jordan” and “Cold Case,” actor Jonathan Murphy finally earned himself a full-time gig as Ronnie on the ABC drama, “October Road.” Fans of the series may have been disappointed when it was cancelled after only two seasons, but Murphy’s work on the show sufficiently impressed its creators – Scott Rosenberg, Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec – to invite him to join the ensemble of their next series, an American adaption of the BBC drama, “Life on Mars.” Bullz-Eye spoke with Murphy about how his new series…

I would not presume to suggest that Bill Lawrence and I are friends, but we do share a common bond: the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. I’m a native, and he lived here while attending the College of William and Mary, so I’ve interviewed him before for the local alt-weekly (“PortFolio Weekly”), and on the occasions when I’ve met him in person, he’s always purported to remember me from that conversation. I’ve always taken him at his word, but at the same time, the guy meets and talks to hundreds of journalists, so I always secretly figured that he was…
