Hellacious Acres: The Case of John Glass (2011)
11 May 2012 12:08 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Pat Tremblay
Written by: Pat Tremblay
Starring: Navin Pratap, Jamie Abrams
I’ve never been a fan of online reviews in which the writer eviscerates a film with unbridled nastiness.
These are often first-person tirades about how difficult the film was to endure and how they would rather "put an arm in a meat grinder, poke an eye out with a stick" or some other such intolerable action rather than watch the film again. I don’t believe that these kinds of “reviews” are productive or very fair to the people involved. But about 20 minutes into Hellacious Acres: The Case of John Glass, my mind began composing the very kind of snarky, mean-spirited essay I hold in such contempt. Quite frankly, my time may have been better spent with that meat grinder…
I watch a lot of really terrible independent films, many of them of the horror and science fiction variety. »

'Avengers' sets opening-weekend record: But is it the most impressive debut ever?
7 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
At the box-office, more is always better, but I admit I was a little disappointed when analysts upgraded the record-breaking opening-weekend haul of The Avengers from $200.3 million to $207.4 million. Two hundred million dollars just sounded better, didn’t it? It had the ring of a record that could last forever — like Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points scored in a single game.
So as it turns out, The Avengers shattered the previous record — held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 — by more than $38 million, an enormous sum. Even with the less rounded figure of $207.4, the magnitude of the action film »

Rod Serling's Night Gallery: Season Three (1972–73)
24 April 2012 12:36 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: John Badham, Jeannot Szwarc, Timothy Galfas, Jack Laird
Written by: Rod Serling, Jack Laird, Halsted Welles, David Rayfiel
Starring: Rod Serling, Joanna Pettet, Burgess Meredith, Vincent Price, Bill Bixby, Geraldine Page
Rod Serling’s Night Gallery is a beloved cult series with a complicated history. It was Serling’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed Twilight Zone, which ran on CBS from 1959–64. Its eerie opening introduction featuring Serling in a dark gallery surrounded by dynamic, often disturbing paintings was the hallmark of the show. Serling would introduce new paintings (by gifted artist Tom Wright) each week, which would segue into a story that usually revolved around a supernatural or occult theme.
Night Gallery began its run with a well-received two-hour pilot on NBC in November 1969. The following year it was included as part of NBC’s Four-in-One programming wheel. It rotated every fourth Wednesday with The Psychiatrist, McCloud and San Francisco International Airport. »

5 Reasons Why 'Cabin in the Woods' Will Blow Your Mind
12 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
"The Cabin in the Woods'" tagline "You think you know the story" is the best piece of cinematic sloganeering since that brilliant "Jaws 2" ad, "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."
The studio marketing folk are taking advantage of the fact that it is really, really hard to describe "The Cabin in the Woods" without giving away some of what's awesome about it.
However, I am happy to say that, thanks to some intensive study and preparation, I'm ready to explain just why "The Cabin in the Woods" is one of the coolest movies in ages...
Without spoiling anything that isn't already in the trailer.
Oh, and by the way? I whizzed in the water. It really wasn't safe. Movie advertising never lies.

5 Things You Might Not Know About Steven Spielberg's Game-Changing 'Jaws' As It Finally Heads To Blu-Ray
11 April 2012 8:23 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
You know what’s a fun task? Trying to convince anyone that Steven Spielberg’s 1975 “Jaws” is not an American classic and a nearly flawless film. It’s kind of impossible, and if you were to somehow take this position, you would either be painfully foolhardy, Armond White, or both.
The film is regarded as the first bonafide summer blockbuster, one that, along with subsequent seasonal smashes like "Star Wars," were part of the death of the 1970s silver-age era of indie American filmmaking. Its enormous box-office success made irrevocable changes to the the studio business model that has turned the months between April and September into a frenzy of special effects and explosions. But "Jaws" shouldn't be demonized for that, because unlike most of today’s blockbusters, it was and is much more than a spectacle-driven piece meant to lure audiences to the theaters.
In fact, for much of the maligned production of “Jaws, »

IFC Midnight acquires rights for Irish horror-comedy Grabbers – We heard lots of good things about Grabbers, Jon Wright’s creature-feature horror-comedy, when it played Sundance earlier this year. Now we’ve learned that IFC’s Midnight movies imprint has scored the exclusive rights to release the film on DVD here in the USA. When strange tentacle monsters start killing off the locals, it’s up to a pair of mis-matched cops to save the population of Erin Island. Things take a turn for the hilarious when they discover that the only line of defense is alcohol – which means everyone’s gonna have to get drunk. No word on a release date for Grabbers yet, but check out the clip below (which is paying homage to Jaws 2) and let us know what you...
