Stars: Federico Castelluccio, Aaron Hendry, Dion Basco, Stana Katic, Peter Kwong, James Hong | Written by Berkeley Anderson | Directed by Matt Codd
When Syfy films are thought up they must sound good on paper, it’s just a shame that many of them never get to the screen in good shape. Come up with an adequate story and a dream that CGI will add in all the entertainment value then hope for the best, the question has to be will CGI dragons been good enough for Dragon Dynasty?
Marco and his small group of explorers from Europe are the first to visit China and look for chances to trade, although the emperor is happy to have them there some are not, namely Shang Sel who works against the wishes of the emperor and releases dragons to kill the European visitors. As Marco and his group return home they are »

John Carpenter's 'Christine' Roars into the New Beverly
24 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Christine is one of the more overlooked works of two horror icons' oeuvres. For John Carpenter's film adaptation the killer car novel came between his better known works The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China, just as Stephen King's novel came between the master scribe's more acclaimed books Different Seasons and The Dead Zone. But you can you see for yourself if Christine deserves a little more love than she's received over the years, when the film version screens at La's New Beverly Theater this Saturday at 11:59 Pm. More after the jump. Christine will be hosted by Horror Movie a Day's Brian Collins, who says of John Carpenter's film, »

Deadly Shaolin monks, legless fighters perched atop the shoulders of armless fighters, goofy cartoon sound effects, flying guillotines, black-clad ninjas, villains with long white beards laughing with voices that don.t quite seem to match their lip movements. Welcome to .70s Kung Fu. Bruce Lee may be dead, but the martial arts action films he helped popularize with American moviegoers will never die. Though Kung Fu movies were actually around long before the 1970s, emerging as a popular genre in China soon after the end of World War II, the decade of the 1970.s was the Golden Age of Martial Arts cinema, when the genre was an international phenomenon.

Alexandre Aja Has a Taste for Blood and Vampires of the Hong Kong Underworld with Undying Love
13 March 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
I don’t know about you, but we never quite see enough Asian monsters in American films, save Lo Pan of Big Trouble in Little China, but Undying Love brings us just that. Last July, we brought you news about Warner Bros taking on the big screen adaptation of Undying Love, a comic book mini-series by Image Comics created by Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman.
Deadline reports that Warner Bros is in talks with director Alexandre Aja (Piranha, The Hills Have Eyes) to helm the flick. Michael De Luca, Stephen L’Heureux and BenderSpink are producing the project. So, what do you think? Will Aja bring the right brand of horror to this adaptation?
Synopsis:
“The story centers on an ex-soldier who falls for a girl that happens to be a vampire. The only way the two can be together is if the man takes on the vampire who created her, »

Top ten movies that still beg for sequels
10 March 2012 9:26 AM, PST | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
From the early days of Hollywood, film studios have believed that if one is good, five or six are better. That seems even truer today, when deals are inked for sequels before the first film even gets released. Even worse, it seems that over the years we’ve been bombarded by terrible sequels or worse, sequels to movies that weren’t all that great to begin with. And yet, there are those movies that are so good, they need – nay, deserve – to have their stories continued on the big screen...

Ralph Macchio plays Eugene Martone, a young guitar prodigy at Julliard who becomes enamored with Robert Johnson, and finds his friend Willie Brown (Joe Seneca) in a minimum security hospital.

Alexandre Aja Slated to Direct Adaptation of 'Undying Love' Comic
8 March 2012 10:21 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
I know what you're thinking - "Ugh, another vampire movie?!" But hang on to your judgments for a second, because this one actually sounds pretty solid. Deadline reports Piranha 3D director Alexandre Aja is in negotiations to direct Undying Love, a Warner Bros. film based on the Image Comic of the same name. Comic writers Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman have adapted their own book, which follows an ex-soldier who falls in love with a vampire, but in order to be with her, he must take on her creator, who is protected by an army of monsters in the Hong Kong underworld. Could this be the next Big Trouble in Little China? To answer my previous question, I don't think Undying Love will have quite the same amount of humor as Big Trouble in Little China. The comic's official website calls it a horror-action tale with equal parts vampire mythology »

Indie Horror Month Video Interview: John Carpenter Discusses They Live, Independent Filmmaking vs. the Studio System, The Ward and More
6 March 2012 12:02 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
In the first installment of our exclusive Indie Horror Month interview with the legendary John Carpenter, we left off with the Master of Horror discussing the backlash he experienced after his 1982 horror/sci-fi thriller The Thing and what kind of sequel he would have liked to have seen.
For Part Two we pick up right where we left off in Carpenter's career and hear more about what he went through while working on various independent projects including They Live, Prince of Darkness and Village of the Damned as well as how the studio system left him feeling burned out after working on films like Big Trouble in Little China, Memoirs of an Invisible Man and Ghosts of Mars.
Carpenter went on to discuss his return to feature filmmaking with The Ward and his thoughts about how technology has changed the industry over the last 30 years.

Indie Horror Month Video Interview: Master of Horror John Carpenter Reflects on the Early Days of His Career
5 March 2012 10:19 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
After giving fans so many horror stories to fall in love with for over 30 years now, there's not much that hasn't already been said a million times regarding John Carpenter's contributions to our beloved genre, which is why for Indie Horror Month we decided to let the man speak for himself.
Last month Dread Central headed over to Carpenter's office for an exclusive video interview with the iconic filmmaker, and during our chat we heard from him on a multitude of topics ranging from his earliest film - Dark Star - to his latest directorial effort - The Ward - and pretty much everything else that has happened in between.
In Part One of our video interview, Carpenter talks about his experiences working on his early independent horror features including Dark Star, Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween and The Fog as well as more on his transition to the »

Will relaxation of 'great wall' quota set Chinese film-makers free?
29 February 2012 1:44 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
China has increased the number of Hollywood imports allowed into the country, but more competition could help free up its homegrown industry
If you judge by headlines, it's been the greatest few weeks for east-west cultural relations since Kurt Russell scoffed chow mein in Big Trouble in Little China. The snappily named Harvest Seven Stars Media Private Equity Fund and the China Mainstream Media National Film Capital Hollywood Group have both been busy strutting around Los Angeles, flashing big cash at film-makers. Dreamworks Animation announced a Chinese division. NBA basketball star Yao Ming was rumoured to be getting the showbiz itch. But all this was the gift-proffering and lute-strumming before the main event in mid-February, the visit to America of Chinese heir apparent and Saving Private Ryan fan Xi Jinping, who finally gave Hollywood what it had been wanting all this time: a relaxation of the "great wall" film quota »

Today in "Netflix is losing a lot of its streaming library again" news: Netflix is losing a lot of its streaming library again
28 February 2012 8:51 AM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
As demanded by Netflix’s convoluted karmic membership plan, the company’s promising recent deal with The Weinstein Company requires that it first send back all of its Starz content, stuffing nearly 800 titles in a metaphorical big red envelope as the companies’ partnership dissolves on February 29. The end of Netflix’s contract with Starz means an end to a huge chunk of its streaming library, with titles like Scarface, Young Frankenstein, Toy Story 3, Vertigo, Big Trouble In Little China, and Beetlejuice—to name just a very, very few—vanishing from your Watch Instantly options in the next »
‘Luck’ Episode 3 Review: The Chess Pieces Continue To Move As The ‘Four Amigos’ Finally Get A Shot At Success
13 February 2012 1:24 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
I know some folks have been complaining about how slow the main plots have been unfolding in the first season Luck. I could use the argument that we’re only three episodes in but the fact that the entire season consists of only nine episodes — which means we’re one-third deep into this fascinating look at a California race track — will get a couple of viewers here and there a little bit antsy as to what we’re watching all means.
To them, I say — to use a term Teddy Roosevelt was fond of — “bully”. And I use that term because it is what I think creator David Milch would use when trying not to curse. (It does seem kind of manly, in 1910′s terms.) What Luck is giving us a sprawling look at the winners and loser we may or may not take for granted everyday. Like the thesis that I presented last week, »

‘Luck’ Episode 2: Ace Continues to Plot His Revenge in the ‘Upstairs/Downstairs’ of Horse Racing
6 February 2012 2:33 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
The American Dream has been and will always be about making yourself into your ideal. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, as long as you — to paraphrase Dustin Hoffman’s Ace — take the “bit” by your teeth and make something of yourself. Sure, there may be some help along the way or there may be obstacles — as it is the nature of humankind — but winning through smarts and strength is all that is asked for. This is the thesis of our country. This is also the thesis of David Milch, whether it was in his classic Deadwood or his massive misfire John from Cincinnati. Two episodes in, Luck is no exception. Luck, as a matter of fact, may be the ultimate study in Milch’s fascination with The American Dream.

‘Luck,’ Season 1, Episode 2: TV Recap

HBO Nick Nolte in ‘Luck.’
If there was a common criticism of “Luck’s” pilot episode, it was that the multiple plot strands were a little hard to follow. Good news, though, race fans: things clear up a bit in the second episode, which was directed by Terry George (“Hotel Rwanda”) and written by racing expert John R. Perrotta. Now, I’m not saying it spells everything for you–after all this is a show from David Milch, who likes »

The top 25 cult film actors
26 January 2012 5:04 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
They may not be household names like their A-list colleagues, but the actors on this list have appeared in some of our all-time favourite geek movies...
Some actors dabble in sci-fi; others dip their toe into fantasy; some may even make an appearance in the odd horror film - all before returning to the safety of the genres in which they feel more comfortable - perhaps a nice, award-chasing period drama, or a well-paid romantic comedy.
A-listers may see the geeky films that we on this site enjoy and celebrate as fun little side-projects, but there are actors out there who commit full-time to these types of movies. It is high time, therefore, that we credited these individuals with the recognition they deserve.
Besides the stipulation that, in order to be included, an actor had to still be alive and working today, there were no strict criteria that had to »
