Preview: Spanish Zombie Movie The Dark Hour

A Spanish zombie movie. Oh my, that’s a new one. I’ve seen English zombie movies, I’ve seen Japanese zombie movies; heck, I’ve even seen Irish zombie movies. But I’ve never seen a Spanish zombie movie before. (Or at least, I don’t recall one.) That’s about to change with writer/director Elio Quiroga’s “The Dark Hour” (La [...]

Jesse Bradford to Star in Horror Remake of The Echo

Now usually my “snobby Asian film fan” persona kicks in when I hear about Hollywood remaking an Asian movie, especially when the infamous Roy Lee is involved. But there is one thing that keeps me from making such snobbish statements about this remake of “The Echo”, and it’s this: the filmmakers behind “The Echo” have [...]

McG’s Monster

Lets face it, McG is never going to earn an inch of credibility if he continues to use that MTV-like moniker. Can you really imagine Jack Nicholson announcing the winner of the Best Director Oscar to be a guy called ‘McG’.
Equally, he’s not going to earn any credibility by making bad films, but I have [...]

Movie Preview: Invisible Target and Eye in the Sky

You won’t find a whole lot of people who will disagree with you if you tell them that you’ve been noticing a general dearth of quality cinema coming out of Hong Kong in the last few years, what with every Johnnie To crime thriller having to fight for space with 10 quickie movies starring one [...]

The King of Kong Poster

I’m a sucker for documentaries that explore eccentric folk, such as the brilliant Wordplay (2006) which followed a bunch of charming people who competed in crossword competitions. Sure that sounds boring on paper, but the enthusiasm of the subjects involved was infectious, and for that reason I’m also looking forward to The King of Kong: [...]

Elisha Cuthbert’s Captivity: UK Trailer, Images

Elisha Cuthbert’s “Captivity” has been around for a while (it was making the festival rounds in 2006), but is only getting released now. Reviews for it haven’t been that great, but the crew at After Dark Films are determined to make this one a hit, and they might just succeed. As they say, any publicity [...]
