Nazi Alert! 'Iron Sky,' 'Puppet Master X' and 'The 25th Reich'

27 January 2012 2:15 PM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »

If you got past the Puppet Master X part and are still reading, I'll weave you a tale of Nazis, my child...

Iron Sky is going to be the best movie ever made, by anyone, and that includes Citizen Kane.

Why? Because it is about Nazis. Any movie about Nazis that isn't Just about the Holocaust is an awesome, unforgettable enjoyment.

Iron Sky is a sci-fi/comedy directed by Timo Vuorensola and is due to come out in April 2012 in the United States. They say "theatrically" but... I mean, that's debatable. They might just be renting a theater for one night. Or who knows? Maybe this'll be one of those Paranormal Activity things and it ends up in your local $15-a-ticket Arclight scamhouse? In any case, it's screening at Berlinale (that's a fancy European film festival) in November 2012, so chances are reviews will be flying from that point.

DeCoteau Tries To Break Garbage Streak With “Snow White, A Deadly Summer”

18 January 2012 8:55 AM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

We can’t promise anything, but the notorious David DeCoteau just might have delivered something slightly better than absolutely horrid with Snow White, A Deadly Summer, hitting DVD on March 12 from Lionsgate. DeCoteau is perhaps best known to fans as the mind behind minor D-classics like Creepazoids (’87), Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-a-rama (’88), and Puppet Master III (’91), but most recently he has been occupying himself with his “1313″ line, an abysmal series of homoerotic boys-in-underwear pseudo-genre flatliners.

So, the maestro of “eh, I guess it wasn’t as bad as it could have been” returns with Snow White, A Deadly Summer, for which he has actually assembled a decent roster in star Maureen (Return To Horror High, Brady Bunch) McCormick, lovely Shanley Caswell, and Eric Roberts (who must have been on leave from Syfy Network productions at the time). Most impressive is the feat of landing composer Harry (Friday The 13th) Manfredini to score the picture. »
