2001: A Space Odyssey at the ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ Midnight Series this Weekend

5 hours ago | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is one of the seminal points in the development of film and cinema. Future directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and James Cameron, to mention just a few, were  inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece. It’s easy to see why. You’ll have a rare chance  to revisit this majestic cinema classic on the big screen when it plays midnight at the Tivoli in St. Louis as part of their Reel Late Midnight series this weekend (May 24th and 25th).

I’ve watched 2001: A Space Odyssey recently and the positives for me were how good the film looks for something made in 1968. Yes, there are a few scenes that are clearly influenced by 60′s fashion but the past and future sets on the whole have a timeless quality. The use of music and the ballerina-like atmosphere were things of beauty and proof that Kubrick really was a genius. »

16 May 2013 12:07 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Who doesn't love movies that take place in loony bins? Psychos are just fun to be around, man. Psychos on the loose are even better! Anything can and will happen. Good thing for us fellow nuts that P5ych is on its way!

Cinema Management Group launched sales at Cannes on the upcoming horror thriller P5ych from Saw franchise producer Peter Block.

Block and fellow producer Maxwell Sinovi have offers out to Paul Bettany (Priest) and Paul Giamatti (John Dies at the End) to star.

P5ych centres on the postmodern conceit of five patients undergoing experimental treatment whose real-life experiences inspired horror staples such as Friday The 13th, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. When the former victims are made to confront their fears, the memories become real and the body count begins to rise.”

Matthew Currie Holmes, who appeared in The Fog and Firewall, will direct. »

Willow at the ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ Midnight Series this Weekend

12 May 2013 8:06 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Though Willow (1988) was one of director Ron Howard’s few box-office disappointments, it definitely deserves a second look and you’ll have the opportunity to do so this weekend (May 17th and 18th) when it plays at midnight Friday and Saturday at the Tivoli as part of the Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.

At once an epic celebration and a gentle spoof of the sword-and-sorcery genre, Willow was a collaborative effort between Howard and George Lucas and the pair threw an eclectic bunch of elements is thrown into the stewing pot – much like what Lucas did with Star Wars. Val Kilmer as the hero looks like Conan the Barbarian but acts like a clumsy Han Solo; the chief Villainess looks like a real-life version of the evil queen in Disney’s Snow White; the chief baddy looks like Darth Vader. Willow is well, a Hobbit.

There are even some fairies like Tinkerbell. »

New Gallery 1988 Show Spotlights Whimsical Horror Portraits

7 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

 

  Last month we showed you some samples of “The Bad Robot Art Experience” at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles (it's still showing, so there's time to check it out if you're in the area), and this month the '88 has opened a new show showcasing two talented artists, Shannon Bonatakis & Kiersten Essenpreis. We're focusing on Essenpreis's work here, because of her lighthearted, oddly adorable satirical portraits of your favorite genre characters.     The paintings (on wood with resin finish) and giclee prints run the gamut of horror, sci-fi and cult movie themes, poking gentle fun at iconic images from Alien, The Thing, Lost, Ghostbusters, Twin Peaks, Halloween, Beetlejuice, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, Hellraiser and A Nightmare on Elm Street, along with some non-genre subjects like Wayne's World, Clue and Stand By Me.     My personal favorite: "Alien Takes Jonesy to the Vet."     Kiersten's works are on display along with the hauntingly sweet »

Shane Black and 'Iron Man 3': Who knew that the high-concept screenwriter of 'Lethal Weapon' would turn out to be a thrilling director?

7 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

If Iron Man 3 had been made by a young director who very few people had heard of, his name would now be on everyone’s lips in Hollywood, and not just because he delivered a big hit movie. They’d be talking about his eagerness and speed and raw talent, the dark flash of his visual style, the zigzag precision of his flair of violence, his way of making every performance count. They’d be talking about how this young director had infused a franchise blockbuster — a Part 3, no less, which usually means that a series, no matter how popular it is, »

Check Out Impressive Fan Film Krueger: Another Tale From Elm Street

6 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Filmmaker Chris R. Notarile wrote and directed a short based on the backstory behind A Nightmare on Elm Street. His movie is entitled Krueger: Another Tale From Elm Street, and it's very impressive for a fan film. See it right here, right now!

The six-minute movie stars Roberto Lombardi as Freddy Krueger before he was burned, and Lombardi actually does a pretty convincing job in the role. He is quite creepy trolling the playground and attempting to kidnap a young girl named Suzy (played by Breanna Lakatos).

Check out the film below, and visit Chris R. Notarile's website for Blinky Productions.

Synopsis

In Springwood, long before he became a demon of dreams, Freddy Krueger stalked the streets under another name - The Springwood Slasher. A little girl will learn why she should never get into a stranger's car.

Back To The Future at the ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ Midnight Series this Weekend

5 May 2013 6:27 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

There was an internet meme floating around a couple of months ago – a photo from Back To The Future II showing that January 4, 2013 was the futuristic date that Marty McFly travelled to! Turns out it was a hoax (and a rather pointless one at that) – the real date was Oct. 21, 2015. What a relief! For a moment, there, I was afraid we didn’t have time to build those flying cars, levitating skateboards, and talking sneakers.

Today, the original Back To The Future (1985) is dated only by its Huey Lewis soundtrack and the choice of a De Lorean as a time machine. Except for a needless scene in which an obviously dubbed Michael J. Fox pretends he’s both Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix, there’s little to criticize, and much to admire. One surprise in watching Back To The Future 28 years later is how cleverly the plot and script ties »

Remakes, Sequels, Reboots… Does Hollywood Need Help?

5 May 2013 7:27 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Today we live in an interesting age of Hollywood. Each year we get a plethora of original films to feast on…we also seem to get more and more sequels and remakes. And reboots. And adaptations. It’s something you’ve no doubt heard before. Or you’ve at least considered it: Hollywood often seems to make it look like there are no original ideas left in the world. While I’ve adored many of these films, I’ve also found myself wondering, am I part of a bigger problem here?

A quick look over the major films listed on IMDb for 2013 reveals that this year we will receive 30 sequels, 3 prequels, 2 reboots, 4 remakes, 1 spin-off and 7 major adaptations. And that’s just what I found in the 250 most popular titles for 2013. Imagine what we would find if we went through the entire year’s output! Some generous maths will tell us »

Movie Review - Come Out and Play (2012)

3 May 2013 5:24 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Come Out and Play, 2012

Written and directed by Makinov

Starring Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vinessa Shaw

Synopsis:

A couple take a vacation to a remote island - their last holiday together before they become parents. Soon after their arrival, they notice that no adults seem to be present - an observation that quickly presents a nightmarish reality.

Remaking the 1976 cult classic Who Can Kill a Child?, the "mysterious" Makinov does a pretty basic 'cut and paste' job of the original movie into a 21st century setting with Come Out and Play. While many have labelled this a failure for following the Gus Van Saant Psycho approach, I think there is some good to be found in this remake.

For starters, Makinov creates a really good atmosphere with a foreboding sense of doom that is genuinely unnerving and some of his shot choices of the children watching are very unsettling. The music »
