Patrick Cavanaugh Talks Transylmania
7 December 2009 1:56 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Recently Dread Central scribe Heather Wixson caught up with actor Patrick Cavanaugh to get the scoop on Transylmania and to maybe nibble a bit on the other white meat.
Heather Wixson: What can you tell us about your character, Pete?
Patrick Cavanaugh: Well, I consider Pete a lovable loser. He is a typical college dude who would rather drink and get high than go to class. He loves to hang out with his buddy Wang and basically see how much trouble they can get into.
Hw: What was it like working on the set of Transylmania? The trailers look hilarious so I was wondering if you had just as much fun making the movie as it looks like it was to shoot?
PC: We had an absolute Blast making this movie. I mean, first of all, we got to spend seven weeks in a far off land, making a »

The Last Airbender Trailer Delayed
3 December 2009 8:38 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
M. Night Shyamalan’s adaptation of the hit cartoon series Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my most anticipated films of 2010. The film, titled The Last Airbender to avoid confusion with a certain other movie coming out in two weeks, premiered a teaser trailer this summer but we’ve not seen anything major since.
The Last Airbender marks not only the largest-scale production for writer/director Shyamalan, but the first time he steps out from his trend of original work to direct an adaptation of an established and popular franchise. I for one, think this is fantastic for fans of the series and moviegoers alike.
In August, we heard from producer Frank Marshall that they were working on a trailer for Christmas, likely to be attached to Avatar or Sherlock Holmes but now comes news that it won’t be happening.
On Twitter (again), Marshall updated eager fans with »

1999: A Look Back, Pt. 2
24 November 2009 2:47 AM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Here's Part Two of my ongoing look back at the year 1999. Yesterday's look back at two of the year's biggest blockbusters got a great response, and with a lot of people asking where the love was for The Sixth Sense, I decided to use today's column to focus on some of the year's biggest sleeper hits.

How Paranormal Activity became a frightening success

Social networking sends $15,000 shocker inspired by Fawlty Towers into box-office hall of fame
There is nothing remotely scary about the beige library in the Soho Hotel. It's calm, quiet, bland. Yet towards the end of a low-key interview with Oren Peli, who's in London for less than 24 hours to promote his smash-hit low-budget horror flick Paranormal Activity, there's a loud creak in the corner of the room and I find myself leaping out of the armchair. Peli sits deep in the sofa. He doesn't move. I think I've been hearing things. Peli simply smiles. He nods; he heard it too.
Weeks after watching Paranormal Activity it's easy to be spooked by every creak, even in the middle of the day. Filmed over seven days and nights in Peli's suburban San Diego house in 2006, Paranormal Activity is a mock documentary in the style of The Blair Witch Project; we watch a »

Amanda Woodward Returns, Wreaks Havoc: Melrose Review of "Caheunga"
18 November 2009 5:15 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
When I hired you to give this place a makeover, I didn't mean smear it with lipstick and turn it into a five-dollar hooker.
With those words, followed by the firing of Caleb, Amanda Woodward returned to Melrose Place this week.
To the show's credit, she fit right in, as The CW had clearly been hoping all along that Heather Locklear would be unable to resist the allure of bad dialogue, cleavage-baring dresses and sex-driven intrigue.
As "Caheunga," proved Amanda hasn't lost her ability to manipulate, cajole or look beautiful. But the episode also concluded with a hint that this vixen's life is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Not since Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense has a dead person continued to affect so many lives, long after his/her passing. Sydney didn't just leave a mysterious note for Amanda this week, she also drove Auggie to nearly fall off the wagon. »

Exclusive Interview: Mark Pellegrino (Supernatural, Lost), Part II
17 November 2009 11:55 PM, PST | TVStar | See recent TVStar news »
Yesterday, Mark Pellegrino talked in some detail about his role as Lucifer on the CW hit series Supernatural (TV). Today, in the second half of our exclusive two-part interview, the talented actor sheds admittedly less light on what viewers can expect to see early in the new year when he returns to Lost (TV) as the enigmatic character, Jacob. Damn that Lost veil of secrecy! We also got Pellegrino talking about the upcoming horror film Bad Meat (2009) and even about his skeleton in the closet: the astonishingly awful action-drama on roller blades, Prayer of the Rollberboys (1990), which starred Corey Haim and Patricia Arquette. Lost is one of the most complex and dense series ever produced. Having stepped into the show so late in the game, with your first appearance in the fifth-season finale, "The Incident," how much do you need to understand the Lost universe in order to play a character as enigmatic as Jacob? »

Pity Party? Cry-a-Thon? Maybe, But Cut Kate Some Slack
4 November 2009 11:39 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Remember the little boy in The Sixth Sense who saw dead people everywhere? Well, I am a divorce attorney and I see dead marriages everywhere. Okay, maybe not dead but definitely heading toward the white light and in need of emergency care. Whether it's in my office, my church, or the grocery store, my divorce radar is always working. I have been wrong on occasion but my assistant claims that I know a couple is getting divorced before they do. My divorce radar had been working overtime on Jon and Kate Gosselin for several years. My kids were big fans of the show - even preferring their re-runs to Spongebob. I was hoping I was wrong and that the producers were cutting the show to produce maximum drama. But his sulking and her... »

The Movies’ Top Five Scariest Living Dead
3 November 2009 12:20 AM, PST | Alternative Film Guide | See recent Alternative Film Guide news »
In The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment not only sees dead people, he hears them as well. Bruce Willis, for his part, sees and hears what he wants to see and hear. The Day of Dead ended on this meridian about five hours ago. But the Night of the Dead is still here. It isn’t quite midnight, yet. (It wasn’t; it took me longer to write this post than I expected. Even so, it isn’t midnight in Hawaii, yet.)

Film School 101: Protagonists

First off I need to apologize for the tardiness of this entry. I was infected with the swine pandemic and was unable to do anything but utter “Bbbbraaaiiinsssss…” feebly from my bed. Now I’m up and about again, so here we go.
One of the first things to do when making your movie is figure out who your main character is going to be. Now, you may pick your plot first and then figure what kind of protagonist you want or you may pick your characters and write about what they do – it all depends on your style of writing. In either case, understanding your protagonist(s) is very important since these are the people whom the plot revolves around, who we will come to know and love and who we will follow for the next 120 minutes. They will be our tour guides through your movie so you have »

New York City & Philadelphia Go Head-To-Head In The World Series -- And In Cinema History!
28 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies aren't exactly the fiercest of rivals, but there is sure to be blood — or maybe just some home runs, botched calls and heated arguments with umpires — when the two baseball teams collide for Game 1 of the World Series this evening (so long as the rain stays away that is!).
As New Yorkers and Philadelphians prepare for battle, we got to wondering about some of the other rivalries already in place between the two cities — in motion picture form, that is. I'm not necessarily talking about fictional competitions between NYC and Philly, so much as stacking movies set in those cities against one another.
Through that framework, you'd be surprised at how many competing movies there are between the Empire and Keystone States — just hit the jump and see the head-to-head match-ups for yourself!

Blu-ray Review: Orphan
27 October 2009 3:13 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Orphan is a terrible movie as it knowingly plays into all the horror cliches you can imagine, and does it twice, once to lure you into believing they won't bow down to convention and then a second time to show that they will. The film runs just over two hours, and requires absolute patience from its audience only to completely ruin any expectation you may have had with an ending unworthy of the time you dedicated to watching it.
Oh no, what's going to be behind the kitchen door when she closes it? Nothing, at least not the first time, but watch out that second time. What's going to be in the bathroom mirror when she slides it shut? Again, nothing, but that second time is a doozy.
What's that, the mother had a problem with alcohol and ended up cleaning herself up and has been sober for over a year? »

Family Demons (Film Review)
24 October 2009 10:07 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
According to its own press kit, Family Demons is "a psychological horror film about an abused teenage girl who murders her alcoholic mother and is horrified to discover that the mother's vengeful spirit returns to haunt her. Even in death, the mother is hell bent on denying her daughter's freedom."
Shot on location in Adelaide, South Australia, writer/director Ursula Dabrowsky cites The Sixth Sense, Carrie, Ju-on (The Grudge) and Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre among her influences on Family Demons. Never merely re-shooting scenes from popular films, Dabrowsky has used her influences to create a film that is at times atmospheric, kinetic, haunting and visceral.
Rather than slicing through the typical cast of characters, Dabrowsky takes the time to establish each character and their relationship with Billie (played by Cassandra Kane). Billie is in her late teens, and is constantly reminded by her alcoholic mother (played by Kerry Reid »

20 October 2009 2:17 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Director M. Night Shyamalan has formed a new production banner called The Night Chronicles. The company will be a vehicle for The Sixth Sense director to formulate ideas and generate stores while appointing directors and the writing staff. He is expected to remain executive producer on all projects and will not direct any features himself.
The first product from The Night Chronicles label will be Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night scribe Brian Nelson’s Devil. The project will be directed by John and Drew Dowdle (Quarantine) and will begin lensing later this month in Toronto.
According to /Film, Devil revolves around a group of people stuck in an elevator in an office building. The group is made up of blue-collar workers and one of them is The Devil.
The horror/thriller will star Chris Messina ( Julia & Julia), Bojana Novakovic (Drag Me to Hell), Bokeem Woodbine (Dead Presidents), Geoffrey Arend »

'Scary Movie 5' May Be a Reboot
20 October 2009 2:24 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
"Scary Movie 5" is in the very early stages of works and words are, it may end up as a remake to the popular spoof series. Cinema Blend brought up the story to the surface, claiming insiders have suggested that the Weinstein Company is rebooting "Scary Movie".
If the studio indeed plans to start all over again with the series, it could mean the fifth film would feature all new characters and there will be no more of Anna Faris. Back in September, Faris has revealed to Fangoria she has no clue on the fifth movie, saying "Everyone wants to know if there will be a fifth Scary Movie and I really have no answer."
Cinema Blend further pointed out that "Scary Movie 5" won't be happening anytime soon. The site noted Weinstein doesn't plan to begin work on it until "Scream 4" is released in theaters across the U. »

Fall Frights: The Ring (2002; Film Review)
20 October 2009 12:48 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Originally published, 10/25/2002
What were the chances?
The Ring at first seemed like one of the least promising projects of the Halloween film season: A U.S. remake of a Japanese cult classic that hasn’t been given a chance to prove itself Stateside, directed by a filmmaker whose résumé is made up of comedies. Yet The Ring stacks up as the most satisfying studio horror film of the fall season. Unlike, for handy example, Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon, Gore Verbinski’s movie honors its predecessor and recaptures what made it so effective while also giving the material its own stylistic identity, and adding new material that doesn’t compromise the whole or feel gratuitous.
The U.S. Ring has as spare a mood as the original, »

[DVD Review] The Objective
17 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Poor Daniel Myrick. After all but setting the world on fire a decade ago with The Blair Witch Project (co-directed with Eduardo Sanchez), a film that managed to grab headlines in the summer of The Matrix, Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and The Sixth Sense, he returns now with The Objective, a film that is split by two opposing instincts: recapturing the glory of his initial success and expanding his vision to a scope that would suggest he’s ready to move on to a studio feature. Neither instinct is satisfied by either the film’s plotline or its execution, leaving us to wonder what movie he really wanted to make.
In the weeks following 9/11, the United States government picks up a strong heat signal emanating from the remote mountains of Afghanistan. The first suggestion, of course, is that the Taliban has gotten hold of a nuclear weapon, »
