Black Summer Optioned aka Another Warren Ellis Comic Book Heads to the Movies

I hate to be all pessimistic on ya, but let’s face it, Warren Ellis’ “Black Summer” ain’t ever gonna get made into a live-action big-budget Hollywood movie. And without the big budget, it’s never going to be done right, which probably means it won’t get made....

Martin Scorsese Imparts the Knowledge of His Craft to Younger Filmmakers

Cinematic evolution – the ability to take what has come before and advance it – is rarely a direct or strictly generational process. Filmmakers will usually have their own personal epiphanies in solitude, while connecting to the soul of a director through his film, not through personal knowledge...

Will Tobe Hooper Return For The Next Texas Chainsaw Remake?

Unpopular opinion of the day: Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror flick “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is not a good film. Sure, it broke new ground in terms of intensity and introduced a lot of people to the extremes of hardcore horror, but it’s far from entertaining. The characters are...

Stallone Reveals Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarznegger Cameo in Expendables

And according to Stallone, it won’t be a blink-and-you’ll-miss cameo, either. Or one of those silly after the credits stunts, which forces you to sit through five hours of credit listing and really Godawful music to get to the “easter egg”. Instead, the scene will take place early...

Gamer and Crank Boys to do Zeroes for NBC

It’s a show about crisis situations, with each episode taking place at the end of the crisis and bypassing all that dull build-up stuff that usually accompanies said crisis situations on TV shows. You know, lots of talking, lots of button pushing, and lots of gradual panicking? When all that’s...

But What Mark Millar REALLY Wants to Do is Direct

Sure, he’s a famous comic book writer, but what Scotsman Mark Millar (writer of “Wanted” and the upcoming “Kick-Ass”) really, really wants to do is direct big action movies. Okay, maybe not really wants to do, but he’s been offered the opportunity, and the writer of...

Disgraced TV Prez Charles Logan Returning to 24 Season 8

First you thought he was a dolt, then it turns out he was kinda a mastermind. Okay, not really, because his conspiracy blew up in his face pretty fast, thanks to one Jack Bauer, but he was orchestrating the whole thing. The trades are now reporting that Charles Logan (played by Gregory Itzin) will return...

Interview: Cast and Crew of Dead Wood

Another low budget horror film set in the woods. Great. Great? Well, actually, it is great. Really great. The reason it is great is because it is low budget and therefore it shows the Hollywood hacks how to do it. Dead Wood concerns four friends on a camping trip in the woods, they meet a mysterious...

Unofficial Red Band Trailer for Romero’s Survival of the Dead

Let’s face it, zombies make pretty bad neighbors, what with all the trying to eat you and whatnot. So how do we expect them to make good family members? That’s apparently the goal of a couple of Irish fellas living on an island in George Romero’s latest zombie opus, the unfortunately...

Box Office: Michael Jackson Is Sorta It, Boondock Sequel Not so Much

In a week without any other major studio competition, the Michael Jackson concert (rehearsal) movie “This is It” opened with $101 million worldwide, including $32 million in domestic ticket sales over a 5-day period, according to studio estimates. That’s good, but it’s nowhere...

Latest The Road Trailer Offers Voiceover and … Hope?

Apparently the studio has figured out that John Hillcoat’s faithful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “The Road” is a tad, shall we say, light on the pep. That might be the primary reason behind this new trailer (via Yahoo!), which seems to be trying to convince you things...

Lala Pipo: A Lot of People (2009) Movie Review

Having been scripted by Tetsuya Nakashima, the award winning writer director of the excellent “Kamikaze Girls” and “Memories of Matsuko”, it comes as no surprise that “Lala Pipo” is another slice of colourful Japanese pop culture craziness. Marking the directorial debut of Nakashima’s assistant...

Palisades Tartan’s Asian Horror: Essential Collection Review

Just in time for Halloween, Palisades Tartan has grouped together three of the most successful Asian horror films of recent years in one region 2 DVD collection. Although terms such as ‘essential’ are woefully overused when it comes to such compilations, in this case it certainly rings true, as the...

I’ll Be Blunt: Evil Weed Looks Like A Pretty Good Joint

Yes, that headline is terrible. Beyond terrible. As bad of a joke as it may be, I’m still intrigued by the trailer for writer/director David Wexler’s upcoming horror outing “Evil Weed.” That being said, the track record for drug-related genre fare is spotty at best. “Shrooms,”...

John Rhys-Davies Will Not Return as Dwarf, May Defect to Elves

John Rhys-Davies told Empire recently that he had turned down the opportunity to play Gloin, Gimli’s father, in The Hobbit, stating unequivocally that he had already ruled it out. I’ll forget for the moment the possibility that Gimli could have been his own father and focus instead on his...

Interview With Precious Director Lee Daniels

I am not aware of very many great movies that treat physical/emotional abuse in impoverished inner city homes as anything more than a personal character conflict meant to be overcome, instead of truly exploring the feelings of being trapped and degraded within. I hope that the film Precious can accomplish...

Ninja (2009) Movie Review

(Review by Sherman Chin – POSSIBLE SPOILERS) I have to state that I’m a movie buff and an Asian martial artist so my review might be a bit critical as evidenced by the lively teenagers who were gleefully shaking the cinema (”Ninja” is shown in Malaysian theaters instead of direct-to-dvd...
