Sos Staff’s Gateway Films: Ricky D – ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’
4 November 2011 9:26 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Throughout November, Sos staffers will be discussing the movies that made them into film fanatics.
A Nightmare on Elm Street has a special place in my heart. It was not only the first horror film I had ever watched but it was the first film in which I took notice of a film’s director and its stars. Prior to A Nightmare On Elm Street, perhaps the only director I was familiar with was George Lucas – after all Return Of The Jedi was the first film I had seen on the big screen. The difference between the two, and the reason why I decided to write about Nightmare, is because unlike Star Wars, a film that was pushed upon me by my older brother, Nightmare was something that I took interest in on my own. Perhaps it was the brim hat Freddy wore, and his sharp claws, or perhaps it »

If Rock and Shock 2011 doesn't get here soon Glenn Ciano is going to burst. Why is that, you ask? Because Glenn makes his feature film directorial debut with Inkubus, and the film will be having its world premiere this Saturday night at Rock and Shock 2011 in Worchester, Ma and he can't wait to unleash Inkubus on the unsuspecting world.

Better Off Dead Blu-ray Review
7 September 2011 9:50 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
John Cusack is defined by his roles as a teenager. Even something like High Fidelity trades on our knowledge of his early roles, they are the roles that – unless he does something radical – will be his legacy. And there are two which stand out above the others: Say Anything and Better Off Dead. Dead is the goofier of the two, and still works because it’s not so much married to the time in which it came out, but is about the struggles of young love, and the dramatic nature teens take to a big breakup. In that way the film embodies some of the nature of Romeo and Juliet - but this Romeo is the only one who wants to kill himself. Our review of the Blu-ray of Better Off Dead follows after the jump. Lane Meyer (Cusack) is desperately in love with Beth (Amanda Wyss), but he’s »

Better Off Dead Blu-ray Review
27 July 2011 2:47 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Paramount Home Entertainment:After Beth (Amanda Wyss), the girl of his dreams, dumps him for the school's arrogant ski-team captain, Lane's (John Cusack) prolific and dark imagination runs overtime. He wavers between bungling attempts to kill himself and inept efforts to win his ex-girlfriend back. All the while, Lane's also dealing with his quirky family, dodging a relentless paperboy who's out to collect, and meeting the charming French-exchange-student-next-door who just might be the unexpected key to his happinessAmong the canon of 80's teen comedies, Better Off Dead is an odd one. There are definitely more obscure films out there, but this one didn't quite reach the epic heights of the works of John Hughes stuff either. It sits somewhere in the middle, a quirky, but unrelentingly »

Episode Recap: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - 11.22: "In a Dark, Dark House"
15 June 2011 12:38 PM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
In a dark, dark house, a struggle ensues between Ray (Laurence Fishburne) and Haskell (Bill Irwin). Ray subdues and cuffs him using regulation issue flex-cuffs. (Important for later.) He then cuts the cuffs and they go head-to-head. Obviously Ray would come out the victor. Before all this, Haskell taunts Ray saying he's killed many. Ray doesn't want to shoot him. Ray would beat Haskell up in that way, with such violence and rage; partly for himself and mostly for Gloria (Tracee Ellis Ross). He knew how to play Ray and that's exactly what Ray did, he went for the taunts. Haskell says they "share something special." He assaulted Gloria, including torturing her and that got Ray's goat. Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) had to arrive first at the scene, so he could help Ray. That's why the camera focused on the cuffs which Ray left on the floor. Brass advises Ray to refrain from speaking with anyone. »

Episode Recap: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - 11.21: "Cello and Goodbye"
2 June 2011 7:34 PM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Haskell is in the process of enjoying his baked Brie dessert, that looked revolting, akin to blood when he cut into it. Gloria (Tracee Ellis-Rose) and Phil (Dean Norris) invite Haskell and Tina (Amanda Wyss) over and just completely trust two strangers. Haskell drugs their drinks and catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Ray (Laurence Fishburne) has nightmares. Tina admires Gloria's ring. Haskell asks how Gloria met Ray and attacks Phil. Ray showers, as does Haskell, who washes the blood away. We're meant to draw conclusions here in the sense this is something Ray will do when he goes in pursuit of Haskell. Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) calls Ray about a Db found in La. Sid called them in and Brody Morgan (Elisabeth Harnois) wanted them here. Catherine asks her if she eats at her Cs. Tod is 48-72 hours. He has sharp force wounds. Ray explains that Phil was Haskell's eleventh Vic, »

Episode Recap: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - 11.20: "Father of the Bride"
31 May 2011 8:20 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Nick (George Eads) and Ray (Laurence Fishburne) searching for a Cs at the beginning, was almost indicative of Ray's search for Haskell (Bill Irwin). Who else would leave DBs in his wake. Nick comments on there being lots of manure here and Ray can smell it, can't help wondering if that was a snide remark about the B.S churned out by Haskell in this episode. No one was really on the ball, I have to say as far as Haskell was concerned. Rray nearly drives into a, "holy cow" as Nick says. Hey Nick should know all about cows from the question Gil (William Petersen) asked him: "What do cows drink?" All those seasons ago. They comes across scattered Db parts in a barn. Ray was oblivious he was stepping in manure. Nick Ids the larvae, as is his new specialty now, so they were dead up to 96+ hours ago. »

Whoa, what a way to start the new year! After several weeks of desolate conditions in terms of horror title releases, the floodgate just burst open.
This is the week you may want to think about using up those giftcards and cash you got from returning your holiday presents. Major releases are vying for your greenbacks alongside re-releases in Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D (in case Santa brought you a 3D TV recently), and other more independent titles. In addition to movies, there's also a Buffy motion comic and the next volume of a vampire's diary in paperback.
The Last Exorcism (Review)

Starring Patrick Fabian (Interview), Ashley Bell, Louis Herthum, Tony Bentley
When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine “exorcism” on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, »
