One degree of Ellen Page

If the numerous television commercials haven't told you yet, the new horror movie 30 Days of Night opens today. What does this movie have to do with Ellen? It stars Ben Foster and Mark Rendall, both actors she has worked with in the past, and both of whom she has been (falsely, likely) linked to romantically. The movie is also directed by David Slade, who previously directed Hard Candy.

ReGenesis on American TV

It's actually been on for several weeks, but ReGenesis is the latest in what seems to be a hundred Canadian TV shows being syndicated on American television. The show is about a team of scientists dealing with biochemistry, diseases, viruses and things of that nature. It's A LOT better than it sounds.

Ellen guest-stars on several episodes (airing now) as the main character's daughter. Mark Rendall (her good friend, as you might know) is also in the same episodes, and plays (get ready for this) a boy who thinks he's a clone of his brother, who's 2 years older than him, but actually turns out to be his brother's twin.

You can catch ReGenesis on ABC, Mondays at 1:35 AM. Awful timeslot, right?
