Inception Vs. Dreamscape!
Ok it’s been a while since I have been blogging on here-I must admit have been slackin’ a bit but now that I am the only real blogger on here. It’s been a bit difficult keeping up the momentum since the summer has started and really kicked in here in Portland Oregon. Remember everyone, this is the only three months that we really get any real sunshine!! So yeah I have been busy soaking up the rays and enjoying the times that sometimes only summer really can seem to bring. Anyway enough about my slackness and onto bigger matters as yeah well last week friday on opening night I went to see Chris Nolan’s big summer blockbuster “Inception”.
Well what did I think ? Quite honestly it seemed to have everything going for it-Nolan writing, directing and producing a thriller about entering dreams and basically doing battle there and implanting thoughts through the night time fantasies that we all have every evening. After the first hour I must say I was ready for an epic masterpeice. It was all set up for a crazy tripped out adventure in dreamland. The only problem was that a half hour later I was ready to snooze myself Continue reading
The Frog Brothers Are Officially Back!
Ok I have talked about the Lost Boys sequels here for quite a while and even since the shitty first sequel I have STILL not given up hope that they will finally get the third movie right! With that being said I recently discovered that the third Lost Boys movie trailer has just been put online for all to view.
One good thing you will notice is that the Frog Brothers are indeed back! Supposedly this movie is based more heavily on the recent comic book adventures.
However from the first viewing of the trailer I can’t say I am super impressed with what I see for the third film. Not that I have really ever been convinced that anyone would do a sequel correctly anyway. It seems by this trailer they once again have a bunch of douchey vampires to hunt and kill. It could just be me but I always thought the vamps in the original were pretty cool? But maybe in the 80’s people were thinking Kiefer and crew were a bunch of douches too. I was hoping for a grittier look on the film, but right now it seems so far like the Frog Brothers got dropped into an episode of True Blood, which really isn’t necessarily a bad thing…
A Date in Middle Earth to Look Forward Too!
So now we all finally have a date to look forward to for the The Hobbit, the highly anticipated sequel (DUH!) to The Lord of the Rings trilogy! Ever since I heard that Guillermo del Toro had been chosen as the director for this 2 part film I have been almost more almost more excited about it it than I was originally about Peter Jackson! Originally the Hobbit was supposed to hit theaters in 2011 but now the new word is that we’re looking at a December 2012 release date. That’s a LONG time to wait isn’t it? What gives? And how come we still have no one attached to play Bilbo Baggins yet??!
At least we know that Ian Mckellan will be reprising his role as Gandalf and rumours are suggesting that filming will begin in June. I don’t want to the rush the guys but it’s going to be a long two years!! Nothing though compared to the amount of time Peter Jackson took to make The Lord of the Rings. With both Jackson and del Toro together behind these two films it’s bound to be worth the wait!
Ok so I know I have posted this song like at least three other times here but any chance I get you can bet I’ll take it!
The Last Stand: Zombies Invading Portland Oregon!
This last Friday I was out at a truely epic Bad Movie Night! Tons of fun was had, lots of junk food eaten, beer drank and cool people! Well aside from seeing two super stinkers as we watched the wretched “Hellgate” starring Horseshack from Welcome Back Kotter as the studly hero of this 5th rate horror flick and Jesse The Body Ventura’s super shitty action sci fi terd Abraxas I learned about a cool new web series being filmed right here in Portland Oregon! It turns out a couple of my buddies even star in it!
The Last Stand is a great little series made for lovers of zombies by lovers of zombies. Continue reading
CHRISTMAS EVIL with the Krampus!!
Usually when we think of Christmas we don’t think of demonic creatures scaring little kids! But let’s not forget about the Krampus, a mythical creature who apparently is buddies with good ol’ Saint Nick.
His legend originates in Austria, Check out this info on the legend of this this dark Christmas creeper: Continue reading
CG Animated Horror Movies-A good idea?
I just ran across this trailer for a possibly upcoming movie called “Blood Trail”. It’s a CG animated trailer for the proposed horror film and so far I can’t decide whether or not this totally cool or really lame. I guess it reminds me a bit of the most recent “Beowolf” animated movie. I watched that as well and to this day am still unsure whether or not I liked it. I can’t decide if seeing these types of films is like watching an extended intro for an XBox game or if it’s something truely unique. I can say that at least the monsters presented in this trailer look natural in their onscreen environment. Many of the horror and sci-fi monsters onscreen today look horrible especially when they are placed in real environments along with real actors. So maybe this is not such a bad idea after all keeping these CG monsters in their CG worlds. It seems from reading all the comments this trailer recieved on it’s youtube page that almost everyone thought this looked amazing. What do you think?
