Sarah Connor and Boromir Get the Black Death!

February 9th, 2008 Steve Anderson 3 comments

Stay here, John…Mommy’s got to get the Black Death.Sometimes the strangest things come from pairing things that maybe shouldn’t be paired. Who would’ve thought that peanut butter and chocolate could work well together? One is part of America’s favorite sandwich and the other is dessert. And don’t even get me started on the whole concept of the tur-duc-hen, a baffling combination of a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken. At least I think that’s how it goes–not what you’d call sane enough to really try hard and keep straight.

And in this topic, we get the upcoming indie thriller Black Death, which will feature a real tur-duc-hen of a cast including Lena Headey, star of Fox’s new series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Sean Bean, Boromir himself from the various Lord of the Rings movies.

Brett Ratner Will NOT Be Directing The Wolf Man!

February 8th, 2008 Steve Anderson No comments

There goes my career!  Better get a picture before it’s gone!The rumor mill went positively nuts over the idea of who was going to direct The Wolf Man. Some serious names got thrown around like so much pie at a Three Stooges film festival. John Landis was suggested, and someone else threw out Frank Darabont, and before you know it out of a clear blue sky dropped Brett Ratner of all things!

It’s Official!

The Eye Will Not Be Back? At Least…For Now….

February 7th, 2008 Steve Anderson No comments

Woooo…big creepy eye…not back in theatres soon!  Oooooh!Here’s one for the Bucking the Trend department, and man, is it ever a doozy. You know that movie The Eye? The one remade from a Pang Brothers movie (I still think “Oxide” is an unnecessarily goofy name) and starring Jessica Alba? Well, it took number one at the box office recently–not that the competition was any great shakes, it beat Rambo and Meet the Spartans. That’s like beating a chimp with no thumbs at croquet.

But the part that’ll get you is, the writers and directors have absolutely zero interest in doing a sequel. In fact, they’re planning their next movie already!

Cloverfield Made Me Sick! Yeah, And A Lot Of Others Too!

January 31st, 2008 Steve Anderson 3 comments

You have been WARNED!I think most of us have seen Cloverfield by now, and it was a pretty wild ride. Landmarks getting blasted, ticks the size of suitcases bounding around, plenty of gunplay…everything you could want in a good action movie with a science fiction bent. But what a lot of us didn’t expect was the down side of Cloverfield, with its simulated hand-held camera work.

January 28th, 2008 Steve Anderson No comments

Zombie…go to PROOOM!Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed, I tell you. Because some days, things happen that force you to question your place in the universe, your entire way of life, even your very sanity.

And yes, one of those things has just happened to me. You see…I found out about a movie called Dance of the Dead. And when I tell you what it’s about, you’ll be going through much the same reaction yourself.

He’ll be bringing with him the movie L.A. Gothic, which is rumored to contain lots of vampires, nothing new for him.
