It’s time for a new episode of The Arrow in the Head Show, and in this one hosts John “The Arrow” Fallon and Lance are looking back at the 1987 sci-fi horror film The Hidden (watch it Here). To find out what they had to say about the movie, check out the video embedded above!
Directed by Jack Sholder from a screenplay written by Bob Hunt, The Hidden has the following synopsis: Something hideous is changing law-abiding citizens into monstrous, hyperviolent psychopaths. A series of bizarre, inexplicable robberies and murders have L.A. police detective Tom Beck totally baffled. And it doesn’t help when mysterious FBI agent Lloyd Gallagher tells him that a demonic extraterrestrial creature is invading the bodies of innocent victims – and transforming them into inhuman killers with an unearthly fondness for heavy-metal music, red Ferraris and unspeakable violence!
The film stars Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Nouri, Richard Brooks,...

"I've got someone trying to pin a bunch of murders on me..." "In broad daylight?" Another month, another Bruce Willis movie. Make it stop!! Saban + Paramount have revealed an official trailer for Gasoline Alley, another boring Los Angeles crime thriller rehashing the same plot for the 5000th time. Some people were found dead, the cops think it was this guy, he says he's being framed. Yadda yadda. A man implicated in a triple homicide begins his own investigation. He enlists the two detectives on his tail in order to expose a conspiracy, or whatever. Starring Devon Sawa, Bruce Willis, and Luke Wilson, with Kat Foster, Sufe Bradshaw, Johnny Dowers, Kenny Wormald, Rick Salomon, Steve Eastin, Tracey "The Doc" Curry. This looks so bad. I wish Bruce would just stop making these, we really don't need them anymore... Here's the official trailer (+ poster) Edward Drake's Gasoline Alley, direct from YouTube: Bruce Willis,...

It takes a rather sufficient effort to get into show business and it takes a hefty effort to become popular enough to stick around. But what Steve Eastin and many other people have done over the years is nothing short of great since he’s not exactly leading man material and he’s definitely not the type for comedic relief, but he is a strong pillar as a supporting and extra actor and someone that can deliver a line and make a person believe it. That’s something that even some A-listers can’t really do on a regular basis since they have their

Crazy has always tapped a main vein in horror films; if it didn’t we would be stuck watching films of people being pranked or wronged, who laugh it off and become dentists instead (with all due respect to Corbin Bernsen). Now, of particular interest to me is when the sins of the flesh meet that fracture of the mind; where the lascivious and the lurid tangle in sweaty, blood stained sheets. And 1982 coughed up a doozy (in character and content) with Night Warning, a tale of a very protective aunt who doesn’t want to see her nephew leave the nest.
Also known as Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (a cool title, but neither relate to the story at all), Night Warning was distributed by Comworld Pictures in early ’82 (but didn’t go wide until early ’83) and garnered some good reviews while passing by audiences. Why? Because it was just...

Directed By: William Asher
Written By: Stephen Breimer, Boon Collins, & Alan Jay Glueckman
Starring: Susan Tyrrell (Aunt Cheryl), Bo Svenson (Detective Joe Carlson), Jimmy McNichol (Billy Lynch), William Paxton (Eddie), Marcia Lewis (Margie), Julia Duffy (Julia), Steve Eastin (Coach Landers), Britt Leach (Sgt. Cook), Caskey Swaim (Phil Brody), Cooper Neal (Frank), Gary Baxley (Bill Lynch Sr.) , Kay Kimler (Anna Lynch).
I came across this movie looking for rare horror films in the 80s. “Night Warning” has all the components of a solid psychological horror thriller movie yet it is virtually unknown today, which is surprising. I suspect it isn’t as well known due to the fact that it isn’t a slasher in the traditional sense. To add to its unknown nature, the movie has never seen another release beyond Thorn Emi video release in the mid 1980s. There has been speculation of...

If we were playing a game where you asked me to pick two actors who were very unlikely to work together, Ray Liotta and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson would definitely be a duo near the top of my list. Liotta's won an Emmy, been nominated for a Golden Globe, and starred in a Scorsese gangster film. Jackson's made his mark in the world of rap music, but doesn't quite have the acting resume of Liotta (although that Teen Choice Award nomination is nifty ... ). That doesn't matter, apparently, because the two will be teaming up in the indie drama Things Fall Apart.
Variety reports that Liotta has joined the cast of Mario Van Peebles' latest. In the film, Jackson plays a star running back "who faces personal tragedy and his own mortality during his senior year of college." Liotta plays the role of a doctor, and will perform alongside not only Jackson,...

Whether it's for a play, a commercial, episodic television, or a feature film, how you approach a role is the most essential decision you can make as an actor. Teaching students how to prepare is paramount in most actor training programs, and the goal is always the same: to insure that the actor is in the optimum state of creativity when the moment of truth arrives. To accomplish this, most schools advocate similar techniques. The words "break down the scene," "find your objective," "find the beats," "find something in your own life that correlates with the character" can be heard in drama departments and acting schools across the country. Many emphasize the importance of extensive rehearsal and homework on the character, including a bio and a backstory.I have been fortunate enough to appear in more than 200 television shows and feature films, including such major ones as "Field of Dreams,...

Chicago – Director Jason Reitman is becoming like a fine wine. He’s maturing with age, tasting newer with each sip and leaving an aftertaste that makes you think you’ll savor what’s next.
And in his new romantic dramedy “Up in the Air,” he has managed to pour a likely Oscar contender on the unusual subject matter of flyover country and layoffs all while continuing to display his directorial range. He again uses some of his usual casting suspects (i.e. J.K. Simmons returns for a trifecta with Reitman after both “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking” and Jason Bateman’s now on a double after “Juno”).
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Reitman describes “Up in the Air” as a personal journey in our recent interview with him on this film. In addition, he admits that the quest was daunting after coming off the Oscar-winning achievement with the surprise hit film “Juno” from...

Opens Friday, April 4
Nearly two years after principal photography, New Line is releasing "A Man Apart", hoping the movie might benefit from the box office muscle developed by its star, Vin Diesel, in his subsequent production, the extreme actioner "XXX". The film will probably satisfy his action-movie fans, though those unaware of the film's history may wonder why the actor has regressed to such a bare-bones thriller, albeit one with stylish flourishes. Why an "X" following "XXX"?
"A Man Apart" plays all the usual angles: the nonconformist cop who steps outside the law to avenge his wife's murder; the blurring of the line between the bad and good guys; the drug deals made in topless bars; the climactic chase through the sewers. We've seen all this before, but F. Gary Gray directs with a determination that style will win out over substance. It doesn't, but the energy he brings to the venture makes a pedestrian movie look far sharper than it deserves.
The opening sequence details how Drug Enforcement Administration agents Sean Vetter (Diesel) and Demetrius Hicks (Larenz Tate) take down a Baja drug cartel biggie (Geno Silva in the aging-gentleman-drug-dealer mode pioneered by Fernando Rey in "The French Connection"). While the DEA in Los Angeles celebrates with nonstop partying at Sean's Malibu beach house -- on a drug agent's salary he has a house in Malibu? -- an elusive figure calling himself Diablo lays claim to the Baja cartel with bloody killings and hijackings. Apparently believing he doesn't stand a chance of success unless he takes out Sean, a hit is ordered. But the assassination goes awry, and Sean's wife (Jacqueline Obradors) is killed.
Once Sean recovers from his own wounds, he goes berserk, turning into a badass with a hair-trigger temper and complete disregard for anyone's civil rights. This is tolerated for a while, but after playing Russian roulette with a suspect's skull and roughing up a pretty-boy drug dealer (Timothy Olyphant), Sean is suspended by a superior officer (Steve Eastin). So Sean enlists his old gangster pal from the 'hood (George Sharperson) to go after Diablo outside the law.
While illogic reigns, the only point to any of this is to get to the chases, shootouts and general mayhem. Gray's dexterous style creates the impression of nonstop movement with a mobile camera, aerial shots, smooth editing and a fine sense of pace.
Diesel, sporting a goatee worthy of a North Beach poet, barges through the movie with the sass his fans have come to expect -- that barely controlled fury and ironic smile on his face implying complete control of any situation. All other roles are designed as people for Diesel to react to -- or against. Olyphant is amusingly flamboyant, while Tate makes a good sidekick even if his willingness to go along with his partner's extralegal moves makes little sense.
Technical credits are superior to the material.

Why an "X" following "XXX"?
"A Man Apart" plays all the usual angles: the nonconformist cop who steps outside the law to avenge his wife's murder; the blurring of the line between the bad and good guys; the drug deals made in topless bars; the climactic chase through the sewers. We've seen all this before, but F. Gary Gray directs with a determination that style will win out over substance. It doesn't, but the energy he brings to the venture makes a pedestrian movie look far sharper than it deserves.
The opening sequence details how Drug Enforcement Administration agents Sean Vetter (Diesel) and Demetrius Hicks (Larenz Tate) take down a Baja drug cartel biggie (Geno Silva in the aging-gentleman-drug-dealer mode pioneered by Fernando Rey in "The French Connection"). While the DEA in Los Angeles celebrates with nonstop partying at Sean's Malibu beach house -- on a drug agent's salary he has a house in Malibu? -- an elusive figure calling himself Diablo lays claim to the Baja cartel with bloody killings and hijackings. Apparently believing he doesn't stand a chance of success unless he takes out Sean, a hit is ordered. But the assassination goes awry, and Sean's wife (Jacqueline Obradors) is killed.
Once Sean recovers from his own wounds, he goes berserk, turning into a badass with a hair-trigger temper and complete disregard for anyone's civil rights. This is tolerated for a while, but after playing Russian roulette with a suspect's skull and roughing up a pretty-boy drug dealer (Timothy Olyphant), Sean is suspended by a superior officer (Steve Eastin). So Sean enlists his old gangster pal from the 'hood (George Sharperson) to go after Diablo outside the law.
While illogic reigns, the only point to any of this is to get to the chases, shootouts and general mayhem. Gray's dexterous style creates the impression of nonstop movement with a mobile camera, aerial shots, smooth editing and a fine sense of pace.
Diesel, sporting a goatee worthy of a North Beach poet, barges through the movie with the sass his fans have come to expect -- that barely controlled fury and ironic smile on his face implying complete control of any situation. All other roles are designed as people for Diesel to react to -- or against. Olyphant is amusingly flamboyant, while Tate makes a good sidekick even if his willingness to go along with his partner's extralegal moves makes little sense.
Technical credits are superior to the material.
