On paper, there’s not much to like about the 2011 version of FRIGHT NIGHT. For starters, it’s a remake of a cheesy 80′s movie that, although loved by a few, wasn’t that great to begin with. Then there’s the giant problem of yet another take on vampires, which have been so overdone in the past [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant One of the films this summer that I expected everyone to hate was the remake of FRIGHT NIGHT. But to my surprise, a lot of people liked it, possibly because they didn’t do a shot for shot remake. But for those that missed it in theaters, the film hits Blu-ray on [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Although she only gets third billing in LIKE CRAZY, I’m sure Jennifer Lawrence will be used extensively in the coming weeks to try and sell her pre Hunger Games film LIKE CRAZY. The film is about a young British college student that falls for an American student, but end up separated [...]
Mel Gibson talking through a beaver puppet with a Cockney accent does not sound like the recipe for success. And in the sense of moneymaking, no, THE BEAVER was not a success. However, that is just about the only area the film does fail because Jodie Foster directed a smart, touching film about depression and [...]
Charlie Brewster is coming into his own, with a cool mom and hot girlfriend, things couldn’t be better. That is until his childhood buddy tries to make him believe his new neighbour Jerry is a vampire. But when a couple of his friends go missing, curiosity gets the better of him and Charlie starts taking [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant A small independent film that may or may not be on your radar this year is the Drake Doremus film LIKE CRAZY which stars up and coming actor Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence. The trailer for this romantic film is very dreamy and pretty to look at, but to [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Will FRIGHT NIGHT be as good as the original? That has yet to be answered, but the film will land at Comic-Con this month with the stars in tow. The trailer for the film gave a more modernized take on the material, adding little pop culture jabs like the one about [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Of all the movies on deck this summer, the film I’ve been most surprised with so far is the remake of FRIGHT NIGHT. By all calculations, this film should be horrible, but despite the odds, it actually looks pretty decent. Yeah, by now we’re all sick of vampires and we’ve been [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant So the new trailer for the remake of the 1985 cheesy horror film FRIGHT NIGHT has been released and it looks pretty good, but not really funny like I thought it might be. It actually looks more horror than anything else and now I’m completely convinced that Colin Farrell can pull [...]
Much has been made of THE BEAVER, with attention focusing on Mel Gibson’s off the screen antics to the cockney accent he used to voice the puppet. But what audiences will find out about THE BEAVER is that this is a character study of a man that has given up hope and is struggling to [...]
Posted by : Brad Sturdivant One of the upcoming summer movies I have little to no interest in is the remake of FRIGHT NIGHT. The film is a remake of the campy 1985 horror flick of the same name. It’s not that it’s a remake, or even that it’s a horror-comedy film, it’s that I’m sick [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Potential up and comer Nico Tortorella is in negotiations to star in the upcoming film ODD THOMAS which will be directed by Stephen Sommers. If he takes the role Tortorella will play an officer that works under the police chief (which could be played by Willem Dafoe) who is part of [...]

The movie will follow a young man (Yelchin) who can communicate with the dead. In his inner circle of friends is his [...]

The film stars Colin Farrell, David Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Dave Franco and Toni Collette. The story revolves around a teenager who discovers [...]

JOE: RISE OF COBRA). The film will be based on the Dean Koontz novel about a guy who can hear but not see the dead [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Jodie Foster is most known to fans as a brilliant actor, and although she has directed four films they have not gotten the amount of attention as they would have if she were in front of the cameras rather than behind (except for the upcoming dramady THE BEAVER, but I think [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Alright people, I know Mad Mel has done and said some things that are unacceptable and he’s generally made himself out to be a jerk. But like I’ve said before, if America really knew what most of their favorite stars were like, they wouldn’t be stars. Mel was just the one [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant I know what you’re all thinking: what’s going on with Mel Gibson? He’s never in the media anymore, he’s so quiet and keeps to himself and seems like such a nice fellow. Isn’t that what you’re thinking? Well, maybe if you’re not a woman or a minority but that’s not what [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It seems the only thing Sandra Vergara is known for is being the sister of the beautiful Sofia Vergara, who stars in the TV show ‘Modern Family’. But she’s getting her big break in the upcoming FRIGHT NIGHT remake. Her sister is incredibly beautiful, so if she can harness some of [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It’s not enough that the upcoming comedy FRIGHT NIGHT is another in the overflowing influx of vampire movies, but it also happens to be a remake of the old Roddy McDowell film. So it doesn’t exactly have a lot going for it right now. But at least they’re trying to make [...]
Posted by: Nathan Swank Colin Farrell is lining up the projects. He has recently signed on to star in two new films. The first being Dreamworks’ remake of the 80’s vampire film FRIGHT NIGHT along with Anton Yelchin (Star Trek) and Toni Collette. The second film is a New Line comedy HORRIBLE BOSSES to be [...]
