I was fortunate enough to escape the warmth of the Southern States in January to visit the folks shooting both The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Underworld: Evolution in Vancouver, BC. It was a great trip, one which yielded some really nice scenes being shot as well as the always lovely ability to spend in … Continue reading

Just yesterday I talked about The Rock venturing from films to the videogame industry, while today we’ll talk about Vin Diesel going in the opposite direction, converting polygons to motion pictures. We heard a few months back that Diesel would label his melon with the barcode of Hitman, based on the multimillion-selling game franchise. And now … Continue reading

Fanning, who is on the cusp of being too old for Dave Davis, will be a girl who discovers a hidden door in her house that leads to an alternate reality … Continue reading

But the very concept behind Warner Bros’ proposed remake of Creepshow is sort of baffling. The original, directed with wonderfully cartoony flair by George Romero and based … Continue reading
I hope that, like me, you look at that picture and think ‘what the fuck is that?’ There’s nothing I like better on a Friday morning than hitting Apple, home of overpriced highfalutin’ tech, only to see some sick, slimy new Slither footage.
