| The Funny, Scary, and Weird Ways Movies Try to Corrupt Your Childhood Posted: 25 Jun 2015 10:00 PM PDT The potty-mouthed stoner teddy bear at the heart of Seth MacFarlane's Ted movies isn't that radical of a concept. Movies have made a habit of taking childhood imagery and contorting it for decades. After all, there's nothing more shocking than seeing something from your youth transformed into something adult. That thing you knew when you were innocent is now not-so-innocent. That shock occasionally translates to comedy. It occasionally translates to horror. Sometimes, it's a mark of cynicism. In any case, you can divide these cases into three distinct groups. Your Childhood, Corrupted by Vice It's a joke that's existed for decades -- what if the figures of your childhood weren't so innocent when no one was looking? Ted is actually an...

| Interview: Producer Jason Blum on the Future of Blumhouse and Always Chasing Scary Movies Posted: 25 Jun 2015 09:00 PM PDT Producer Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions really only started to branch out beyond the Paranormal Activity franchise three years ago, but those three years have been ridiculously prolific. In that short time, Blumhouse has established itself as a powerhouse in Hollywood horror, with a consistent string of hits like Insidious, Sinister, and The Purge proving that low budgets don't have to equate to bad movies. Blumhouse has even begun dipping its toes outside of the horror genre, most notably with last year's Best Picture nominee Whiplash. And it's all because Blum had this crazy plan to enable filmmakers to make the kind of movies they want to make so long as they aim high and spend low. Last week one of Blumhouse's most recent hits... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Star Trek 3' Begins Filming -- See the First Set Photos, Plus More On the 2016 Sequel Posted: 25 Jun 2015 07:30 PM PDT The next installment of Star Trek began principal photography today. It could very well be a departure of sorts from the previous two installments, if only because their director, J.J. Abrams, went and made a Star Wars movie instead. There's a new guy at the helm, and that's about all we know for sure. But below we'll guide you through what is and isn't a certainty about Star Trek 3 and also share some bits about the first shooting location, a few initial set photos and also news on a relevant film also aiming for release next year. What's this one called? Paramount hasn't made it official, but the title revealed a few months ago through various channels is Star Trek Beyond. When does it come out? July 8, 2016. Who is taking over from... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2015 06:12 PM PDT Welcome to The Last Horror Blog, a biweekly column on all things horror. The Latest Horror News New Paranormal Activity trailer takes us to The Ghost Dimension I’ve always had mixed feelings about the Paranormal Activity franchise. I like the idea of them, but the yearly sequels often felt like a case of diminishing returns as we sat through 90 minutes of doors slamming and sheets taking shape only to get a five-minute finale that raised more questions than answers. However, Greg Plotkin’s Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is promising to be the final film in the franchise – and this new trailer has me intrigued if only because I’m hoping we’ll finally learn the truth about the demonic Toby and the coven of witches. The Ghost... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Here's the Current Status of an 'Inside Out' Sequel Posted: 25 Jun 2015 04:31 PM PDT Pixar's Inside Out enjoyed the biggest opening weekend for an original, non-sequel film, and so naturally fans are already eagar to hear about a sequel. Will there be one? Considering Pixar has made sequels for the Toy Story, Cars and Monsters, Inc. franchises -- with sequels to Finding Nemo and The Incredibles in the works too -- it makes sense that Inside Out may schedule a part two on the docket following its sensational debut. So what's the latest on Inside Out 2? Speaking to EW, director Pete Docter readily admits that he's not very interested in continuing the story and would rather focus on more original material. "There's no sequel idea from me at this point," he tells them, later teasing... "Never say never." And that couldn't... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Geek Beat: The Pros and Cons of a Solo 'Hulk' Movie Posted: 25 Jun 2015 03:00 PM PDT Bruce Banner's angry alter ego is back in the news again after it was recently confirmed that the conspicuous lack of a solo Hulk movie post-Avengers has nothing to do with the rights to the character and everything to do with, well... Marvel deciding not to make another Hulk movie. The specifics of Marvel's stake in the green goliath's big-screen adventures were outlined in a recent Forbes article that clarified how the film rights and distribution rights to the character were divided between Marvel and Universal Pictures, respectively. In short, Universal retains the distribution rights to any Hulk solo movies, much like Paramount had the distribution rights to the first two Iron Man movies and Sony will handle distribution for Marvel's upcoming Spider-Man...

| 'Sleeping with Other People' Trailer: See the Movie That Will Restore Your Faith in the Rom-Com Posted: 25 Jun 2015 01:30 PM PDT Let's face it, guys and gals: the romantic comedy has had its ups and downs over the years. We were cruising there for awhile in the '80s and '90s, back when folks like Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan single-handedly carried the entire genre, churning out rom-com classics left and right. But then we wanted more -- we wanted romantic stories that were filthier, funnier and took daring risks. The kind of stuff that was dorkishly relatable when it comes to our evolving modern world. Enter Sleeping with Other People, a new rom-com from writer-director Leslye Headland (Bachelorette) who's slowly proving herself to be one of the great up-and-coming female voices in big-screen comedy. Her stuff is a little raunchy and R-rated, but it's honest and... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
