Diary of the Dead DVD Cover and Specs
Just got the DVD cover art and specs for George Romero’s latest zombie opus, “Diary of the Dead” in the mail. In the film, students shooting an indie horror movie discover that the world is literally ending around them as zombies rise from the grave to, well, you know, do what zombies do — eat [...]

Yes, that’s right, this is another “Twilight” update. Why? Because people are psyche about this movie, and although I haven’t read the books, or know who is who and what they’re doing and why, it’s hard to ignore all the enthusiasm the kids have for this thing. (And yes, I’m so old now I actually [...]

John Carpenter has been variously labelled a “maverick”, a “horror director”, an “auteur”, even “the last genre filmmaker in America.” Unlike some of his more talkative and self-reflective colleagues like David Cronenberg or George Romero, he has always remained rather tight-lipped when it came to deeper analysis of his motifs, themes and ideas, preferring his [...]

This is interesting. Unless I’m mistaken, a lot of the fanbase for the teen vampire movie “Twilight” (the majority of whom are girls, as far as I can tell) won’t be voluntarily going to see the Wachowski brothers’ “Speed Racer”, so the movie studio putting the first-ever trailer for “Twilight” in front of “Speed Racer” [...]

I haven’t seen Neil Marshall’s “The Descent”, even though I’ve always meant to. I actually have the DVD on my shelf, but everytime I think I should watch it, another, more recent movie always interrupts. Oh well. In any case, from people whose opinion I respect, the first “Descent” was apparently a rollicking bloody good [...]

Wesley Snipes may be going into the klink for some time thanks to some unpaid taxes (you’d think a millionaire movie star wouldn’t be so skittish about paying the taxman, but you’d be wrong), but that doesn’t mean the show shouldn’t go on. With Snipes, the star of the horror/Western “GallowWalker” scheduled to do a [...]

For a country that barely tolerates any movie that does anything other than show Thailand to be “The Land of Smiles”, it’s curious that Thailand is home to one of the goriest horror franchises out of Asia, the “Art of the Devil” movies. The third part in the franchise recently opened to big numbers, outdueling [...]

I’m a fan of Lucky McKee, ever since he burst onto the screen with the oddball, but just fantastic “May” in 2002. But Lucky hasn’t done a whole lot of movies I’ve liked since, including “The Woods” (which I heard was good) and “Roman” (which I tried to watch, but couldn’t get through). His latest [...]

Director Guillermo Del Toro loves his “Hellboy” franchise, but he doesn’t love it that much. Or maybe it’s because he does, in fact, love it that much that he has promised that, should the second movie, “The Golden Army” do well, he would like to return for a third installment, but after that, there should, [...]

I have zero investment in the possibility that Timur Bekmambetov’s upcoming “Wanted” with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy will be anything other than a mindless popcorn action movie, but for a while there, I did think the man had plenty of talent to spare, and was very interested in what he would do next. I [...]
