So this comes a little late but, according to director Michael Melamedoff, Danielle Panabaker will be attending the premiere of Weakness tomorrow during the Austin Film Festival:

Michael Melamedoff: Please join me and star Danielle Panabaker at a screening of our film, Weakness, this Sunday and Monday evening. We’ll be participating in a Q&A after the screening.

The director also posted:

Please join the cast and crew of WEAKNESS on Sunday, October 24 at 6:30pm or Monday, October 25 at 9:30pm for a screening and q&a after.

So expect some pictures and videos coming later!

The first review of Weakness is here. Coming from Smells Like Screen Spirit:

Weakness, the debut feature film by writer-director Michael Melamedoff, is a very eloquent yet dismally realistic portrayal of a lost and confused man who could probably be satisfied with a way to just decelerate the dreadful downward spiral of his existence. Joshua’s life, at least as represented in Weakness, is like a 90-minute long train wreck (Melamedoff’s film utilizes events such as a fall from a roof and a near car crash as metaphors for Joshua’s life); and Cannavale, in his doleful and subdued performance, ably conveys Joshua’s many weaknesses without always verbalizing them. Joshua definitely does not make the best choices or say the most appropriate things; in many ways Joshua just plows through life with a kind of nonchalance, just assuming that things will begin to improve without his urging.

If you, like me, are still recovering from an emotional break-up, Weakness may hit a little too close to home. Some scenes ring a bit too true for my liking, at least at this juncture in my life. That does not mean Weakness is not a good film; if anything, that is definitely a compliment to Melamedoff and his cast.

Weakness stars Bobby Cannavale, Danielle Panabaker, Josh Charles and June Diane Raphael. The film is set to premiere this sunday, October 24th during the Austin Film Festival. More info can be found here.

I’ve finally updated the video archives with 9 clips of Danielle’s performance as Chelsea Sennett in Hollywood, the first episode of Law & Order: Los Angeles.

Remember screencaptures of the episode are already available in our gallery.

All the clips are zipped and available for direct download for quality purposes.

More info about Hollywood and Danielle’s character can be found here.

Coming from Arrow In The Head:

The film itself reeled me in right off the bat with its very cool/stylized opening credits and its gripping prologue which was shot in a fashion that shouted loud and proud “Carpenter still has it”. Once within the ward, I was engaged throughout; tantalized by the mystery at hand, cock-teased by the ghostly happenings while getting my ass jolted by the potent scares on hand. Amber Heard in the lead was a wise casting choice. For me, she was rocking like Dokken in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane with her striking looks and solid performance, then she kind of became the “pretty girl” in films and The Ward gave her another opportunity to flex her acting chops and thankfully she did it with intensity and passion.

Heard was well supported with a mostly able side cast. Danielle Panabaker as the vain Sarah, Mamie Gummer as the bitchy Emily, D.R. Anderson as the cold orderly and Jared Harris as the “maybe he cares, maybe he doesn’t” Dr. Stringer stood out the most. With that said, the cast was pretty much all on the ball.

So why isn’t my score higher? The script. The flick tried so hard to be so many films at the same time (a slasher, a J Horror ghost movie, a mindf*ck mystery) that it kind of never found an identity of its own. Just felt like a greatest hits of better movies that came before it. Un-original was the word and me stimulated less than I should have been was the result.

The Ward debuted earlier today at the Sitges International Film Festival. Let’s hope it gets a distribution deal this time! I will be posting new reviews as soon as they become available.

I’ve updated the gallery with 309 HD screencaps of wednesday’s episode of Law & Order: Los Angeles, titled “Hollywood”. Sorry it took me so long!

I must say it was a good episode, but nothing like Law & Order. I love the brand but this one didn’t feel like the original or SVU. Danielle’s character, Chelsea Sennett, didn’t have as much screentime as I would’ve liked. Her final scene was very good though. (Oh and Danielle reunited with her Friday the 13th co-star Travis Van Winkle during this episode!)

If you missed it don’t worry, I will be uploading some clips within the next couple of days =)

For now enjoy these screencaps in glorious high definition!

Weakness will have two screenings during the Austin Film Festival as part of the Narrative Feature Competition:

Sunday October 24 – 06:30 PM – TEXAS SPIRIT THEATER

Monday October 25 – 09:30 PM – ARBOR

Here’s the official Weakness AFF synopsis:

Run time: 94 min. | USA

Despair and depression hit everyone differently. Filmmaker Michael Melamedoff explores the unusual grieving habits of a man whose wife has not died, but left him after he refuses to participate in a “swing” group. Faced with a family who is unsympathetic, Joshua, a high school teacher, begins dating a former student. Thus begins an investigation of the grieving process. This sensitive film explores how interpersonal interactions effect personal decisions, some profoundly so. Melamedoff goes beyond simply strength or “weakness” to confront the range of human emotions and events that lead to fateful decisions in one’s life.

You can now enjoy the first Weakness trailer at the film’s OFFICIAL SITE. Directed by Michael Melamedoff, the movie tells the story of a suburban high school teacher who loses his wife and his moorings during a summer break. It stars Bobby Cannavale, Danielle Panabaker and June Diane Raphael.

Weakness is set to premiere later this month during the Austin International Film Festival.

Just a reminder! Law & Oder: Los Angeles debuts tonight on NBC.

Each episode will be titled for a Los Angeles community. Tonight’s premiere, “Hollywood,” which begins at 10 p.m., is a “ripped from the headlines” tale of a group of thieves who target young stars and a shocking crime committed at the home of a starlet (Danielle Panabaker) and her stage mother (Shawnee Smith).

A blonde Danielle Panabaker attended the “Law & Order: Los Angeles” Premiere at Drai’s Hollywood on September 27, 2010 in Hollywood, California. She looked very pretty!

Her new look is a nice change =) Seems to be a strawberry blonde or something… I actually don’t know much about hair but I like it!
