Wilmer Valderrama (That 70's Show) and Spy Kids' Alexa Vega reconnect with their Latino heritage in the new comedy FROM PRADA TO NADA and they sit down with CineMovie's Zay Zay in Miami.
FROM PRADA TO NADA follows two spoiled sisters when they are left penniless after the sudden death of their father. Forced to move in with their estranged aunt in East Los Angeles, this is a fish-out-of-water story where the girls ultimately find romance, as well as a love for their culture.
The FROM PRADA TO NADA stars tell CineMovie how making the movie made them connect with their own heritage. The half-Columbian Alexa Vega admitted she had forgotten most of her Spanish but soon reconnected with the language working on the film. Like her character, Mary Dominguez, she was inspired to re-learn Spanish and reconnect with her heritage. Her Miami born co-star Wilmer, however, has kept in touch with his roots. The FROM PRADA TO NADA star created and executive produces the animated Disney TV show Handy Mandy with bilingual characters. The half-Columbian and half-Venezuela actor also lived in Venezuela as a child.
FROM PRADA TO NADA opens in movie theaters January 28, 2011.

Hostel director and Inglourious Basterds star Eli Roth dons a producer hat for his new horror flick THE LAST EXORCISM, a pseudo documentary-style shot film he calls a "first person horror experience".
Eli Roth and THE LAST EXORCISM stars Ashley Bell and Patrick Fabian sat down with CineMovie to talk about their new film and why it even scared them after watching it.
Shot in a documentary-style format reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, THE LAST EXORCISM creates a sense of realism for the viewer which creates a much more scary experience according to the writer/director of Cabin Fever. In the film, a documentary crew follows Reverend Marcus Cotton as a preacher man who explains to the camera that possessions are psychological and not real. The Reverend (Fabian) has made a career out of faking exorcisms to help people with their mental conditions and he takes the crew on his latest request for an exorcism to prove his theory.
When the possessed teen (Bell) stares into the camera with an eery look, the viewer feels the target of the possession and that is why Eli reveals makes THE LAST EXORCISM unique from other horror films.
Watch the interview for more with Eli and actors Ashley Bell and Patrick Fabian.
