| Movie Review: Griff The Invisible Posted: 21 Aug 2011 05:45 PM PDT  Griff the Invisible DIRECTOR: Leon Ford STARRING: Ryan Kwanten, Maeve Dermody, Marshall Napier, Heather Mitchell, Toby Schmitz, Patrick Brammall, Anthony Phelan Indomina Releasing RELEASE DATE: August 19, 2011 (limited) Most of us recognize Ryan Kwanten as Jason Stackhouse from the hit guilty pleasure–fest that is HBO's True Blood. Some fans may know his voice from Zack Snyder's Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole or smaller, more obscure fare like the forgettable Flicka and Dead Silence, or even more obscure TV titles like Summerland, or Home and Away and Spellbinder: Land of the Dragon Lord in his native Australia. But again, most of us point to Mr. Stackhouse. But Kwanten has also dabbled in the realms of indie films over the past couple of years, and his work there is not to be ignored. After seeing the 2010 western thriller, Red Hill, I was more than excited to take a peek at his other 2010 effort, Griff the Invisible, which is just now seeing a limited theatrical run. [...]      |

| Spoiler Talk: Fright Night (2011) Posted: 21 Aug 2011 09:00 AM PDT  If you've expected a movie to be terrible for the longest time, and then you watch it and it turns out not to be complete garbage, does that necessarily make it good? I have no idea. I do know it's never a good idea to start a review off with a question. I will admit to not thinking much of the Fright Night remake (except for the casting) as it seemed to be yet another remake in an litter box full of them and the best one could hope for is that it's better than _________ [insert your own shitty remake here as you could probably name a dozen off the top of your head]. But 2 hours later as you exit the theater singing along to the end credits ("99 problems and a bitch ain't one...") you realize that you had a pretty decent time, and that last week's The Help would have been a lot more entertaining and a lot less preachy had vampires been involved. Besides, it's always nice to see a real vampire movie for a change instead of the brooding Beiber-vag's that contaminate the megaplexes nowadays. It's time for SPOILERS [...]      |
| Movie Review: Conan The Barbarian Posted: 21 Aug 2011 08:01 AM PDT  Conan The Barbarian Directed by Marcus Nispel Starring: Jason Momoa, Leo Howard, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang, Rose McGowan, Ron Perlman Release Date: August 19, 2011 Director Marcus Nispel has most undoubtedly taken on quite the challenge in the new Conan The Barbarian film. Consider to begin with, the original Robert E. Howard stories, followed by the additional work by subsequent authors over the years. Moreover, there's the legend of Conan depicted in comics, perhaps most memorably in The Savage Sword Of Conan. But the biggest challenge facing Nispel is probably the unforgettable film version portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by John Milius. The 1980's Conan pervaded mainstream pop culture and left quite an impact, and the original film is still considered by some fans with reverence. Having said all that, Nispel along with the writers of the latest Conan The Barbarian have released a film that will most likely please the fans of the Conan books and comics, but may disappoint those whose only experience with the Cimmerian warrior has been through Schwarzenegger's depiction. The new movie, for all intents and purposes, is an origin tale and begins with narration from (believe it or not) Morgan Freeman. Conan is born on the battlefield, in a gruesome birth sequence that would easily be the fastest Caesarian procedure by sword captured on film. He is raised under the watchful eye of his father, Corin (Ron Perlman), learning the ways of the warrior and the tradition of the Cimmerian Barbarians [...]      |
| Two Untitled Pixar Movies Announced; One With Dinosaurs, The Other Inside The Human Mind Posted: 21 Aug 2011 07:10 AM PDT  Disney's D23 Expo is in full swing, and plenty of juicy morsels are finding their way out to the masses. Of the many announcements made, two come from the folks at Pixar Animation, who revealed two upcoming movie projects. Neither of the two have titles at the moment, but they will be the next two films to follow Brave (June of 2012) and Monsters University, the Monsters, Inc. prequel that's set to arrive in June of 2013. While not much is known yet about the movies, there are a few details to be shared. The first movie—set for release on November 27th, 2013, just five months after Monsters University—will take place in a world where that devastating asteroid never hit Earth, and dinosaurs never went extinct. It will be directed by long–time Pixar animator and artist Bob Peterson, who more recently wrote Finding Nemo and Up, which he also co–directed with Pete Docter. Peterson has also lent his voice to numerous Pixar roles, including Roz from Monsters, Inc., Mr. Ray from Nemo, and Dug the dog from Up. [...]      |
| Tim Burton’s ‘Frankenweenie’ Gets An Official Logo, Synopsis Posted: 21 Aug 2011 06:03 AM PDT  For those who don't know, director Tim Burton made a short film back in 1984 about a boy who loses his dog and brings it back to life called Frankenweenie. Now Burton is working on an adaptation of that very same short film (which can be seen here), this time using the stop–motion animation techniques used in other films Burton has directed or produced, such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. And at the ongoing Disney D23 Expo, an official logo, synopsis, and special notes about the movie have been released. You can see the official logo above, and you can read the synopsis and notes by continuing on below now. The voice cast for the movie was set back in 2010, and includes a group of Burton veterans in Martin Landau (Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow), Winona Ryder (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice), Catherine O'Hara (Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas), and Martin Short (Mars Attacks).
