Horror films are supposed to be real scary. Not to be entertaining popcorn flicks like your typical teen slasher films. Those teen slasher films like “Scream”, “Halloween”, “Friday the 13th”, etc…are not scary at all in my opinion, they are just here for popcorn entertainment, so in reality, I don’t really call those films true horror films.
True horror films that are real scary are films like: “The Omen”, “The Exorcist”, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Amityville Horror”, “Rosemary’s Baby”, “Psycho”, etc. Films that are supposed to scare the shit out of you and not being able to sleep at night after watching the films.
True horror films are starting to make a comeback. With films like “Quarantine” and “The Strangers”, I think those two films are the most creepiest films I’ve seen in many years.
“Quarantine” is a zombie film, yes, but it’s a zombie film that it almost seems real, a film that almost seems like real life. That’s what makes that film so scary. Not only that, I think the ending to that film is the most scariest ever.
I don’t want to spoil the ending but I’ll talk about little bits of it, the leading woman that plays in the movie, finds this room to try to escape the place. It is dark, and the video camera has a night vision light on where they can see in the dark, which makes the screen turns green as a night vision kind of thing.
The woman and camera man are both in the room alone hiding ’cause there’s one zombie walking around trying to find ’em. The woman is trying to cover her mouth so she tries not to scream, so the zombie wouldn’t hear her. There is no music playing in this scene. Just complete silence in that scene as the zombie is walking around trying to hunt them down. Of course, the trailer of the “Quarantine” film kind of gave away the ending, which I hate it when trailers do that, but you get the idea.
“The Strangers”, is another great horror film that I absolutely loved, it stars Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. About a young couple staying at a friends cabin for a vacation trip, the guy proposes marriage to his longtime girlfriend, but she says “no” to his marriage proposal, of course he is upset the rest of the night and stays up all night, then he goes out for a drive to spend some time alone by himself. While Liv Tyler’s character is home alone, she is attacked by three people wearing strange masks, and she must escape out of the house alive.
“The Strangers” say it’s based on real events, but I’m not finding anything in google about it. Then in the wikipedia information it says that the story was inspired by the director/writers real life experience of being home alone and being attacked by strange people.
“Quarantine” and “The Strangers” are both really good flicks. I’d suggest you to check those films out.

“Star Trek’s” JJ Abrams drops the huge bomb that he reveals that he scored the rights to Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series to make them into theaterical films. JJ and his partner Damon Lindelof, said they will not work on “Dark Tower” until they finish the “Lost” hit TV series. No word if JJ Abrams himself will direct the first “Dark Tower” movie, for now they just announced they are moving forward with the film.
JJ said if the first “Dark Tower” film is a successful hit, then they will make the rest of the “Dark Tower” books into live action films as well.
MTV Movies Blog reports:
This is really good news. I’m happy that there is finally news of a “Dark Tower” movie finally happening. I think the director should be no one other than JJ.
I also still stand by that I think they should get Hugh Jackman to play Roland Deschain the Gunslinger. I think Jackman is a perfect fit for that character. It would be insane if JJ doesn’t get him.
Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if JJ got Chris Pine or Zachary Quinto to play him instead.

A director has been found for, “The Lone Ranger”, set to return to the big screen. Mike Newell has been signed to direct this legendary character. If you don’t know who he is, his previous work includes films such as “Harry Potter and the Goblets of Fire”, “Donnie Brasco”, “Pushing Tin”, and he’s currently filming “Prince of Persia” that stars Jake Gyllenhaal.
Johnny Depp is already set to play Tonto the Indian for, “The Lone Ranger”, an actor hasn’t been found for the Ranger just yet. Rumours going around that the Ranger could be no one other than George Clooney.

More pics of Angelina Jolie filming “Salt” in Albany for the truck chase scene. Close up shots of her so you can tell it’s really her, indeed. I’m not really sure how long she’s scheduled to film in Albany for. Probably for just one full day ’cause I haven’t seen any new pics of her in Albany since these ones.

I really am looking forward to this movie though. It’s looking really cool and really fun!

Michael Douglas was a guest on Jay Leno last night now that Leno is back to work. Michael announced his 40 year Anniversary of working for Hollywood film. He is a great actor and I enjoy his movies. In celebration of the long years of hard work he gave us, I wanted to name 5 of his best work in my opinion, in no particular order, these are my favorites of his:
Falling Down
Traffic
The War of the Roses
The American President
Wall Street
I know, “Traffic” is not everyone’s favorite movie, I absolutely loved that film, I also think it’s one of Michael’s best performances.
When he stars in “Wall Street 2”, I’m sure Michael will once again floor us with another haunting performance. Could Michael’s performance in “Wall Street 2” as Gordon Gekko get an Oscar nod? It wouldn’t surprise me if it will. I love the Gordon Gekko character and I can’ t wait to see him on the big screen again!!!

MTV News caught up with legendary film director, Robert Zemeckis, a man who did such movies like, the three “Back to the Future” films, “Cast Away”, “What Lies Beneath”, and of course, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” his most popular film.
There has been talks of a Roger Rabbit sequel ever since the first one came out but it never happened. Robert gives us a hint that he’s interested in working with Roger Rabbit again with all this new CGI technology, and imagine what you could do with all that while mixing animation with live action?
I really hope a sequel is being made ’cause I loved the first movie, I own it on DVD in my movie collection. I remember seeing, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” first came out at the drive-in theater when I was a young kid. Christopher Lloyd was fuckin’ awesome as Judge Doom! One of the coolest movie villains ever!
I don’t want Bob Hoskins back as Eddie since Bob is almost 70 years old now and he was pretty old himself when he played in the first movie. I would love it if Zemeckis wrote Judge Doom to come back from the dead and have Christopher Lloyd back, most definitely! I would prefer a younger star to lead in the sequel as long as they don’t get Shia Labeouf.
A Bob Hoskins cameo in the sequel would be alright for me though. The storyline for the second one could be that Judge Doom comes back to revenge Roger and Jessica. This time, Judge Doom is more evil and dangerous than ever. It’s just a plot idea that’s all.
I think Zemeckis will do the sequel, he wouldn’t give more details ’cause he didn’t want to break out the big news, he’s just giving out small hints. It’s great to finally hear news about a sequel though!

So Universal put the “Bioshock” live action on hold due to budget costs. Never heard of the “Bioshock” video game and want to see what the game is like?
What the game is about, I had a post on this before but I’ll explain again, Bioshock is about this guy that must save the underwater city of Rapture where the city is taken over by all kinds of monsters and zombies. There is this huge creature that is almost like a huge robot called a Big Daddy, where he has these possessed little girls, and you must kill the Big Daddy’s in order to save the little girls to turn them back to normal.
Here, I’ll post a clip of the game. I’m still not done with the game yet, I’m still halfway through. Probably one of the toughest games ever! These are non spoiler clips though, just gameplay. Very cool game, and one of the best first person shooters I’ve ever played!

Oliver Stone’s hit 80’s movie, “Wall Street” is confirmed to be making a sequel. Shia LaBeouf is set to star, Michael Douglas is in negotations to return.
The first film focused on a young stockbroker trying to get to the top at “Wall Street”, while of course, “Wall Street 2” will focus on the bad economic times that the real “Wall Street” in NYC is having now.
The first movie also starred Charlie Sheen but I wonder if Oliver Stone tried asking Charlie to return, but he refused which is what made Shia to take his place?
I’m glad a sequel is being made, I loved the first movie!

Damn it, another website already got the exclusive pics before I did. 😦 Oh well. Yes, the real Angie Jolie is in Albany filming the scenes in “Salt”. It’s a spy movie and she’s undercover, that’s why she’s wearing weird clothes. She’s wearing a long coat and a winter’s hat in the hot days of Spring?
You can see pics of Angie working with a stunt woman here. Yep, Angie is in town, I think that’s really her. It’s hard to tell because of the makeup she’s wearing and the coat, and hat but I can tell it’s really her. Yep, the real Angelina in Albany, N.Y.!!!!
Enjoy the pics. I’ll be on the lookout for more! 🙂
