Halloween Beasts of Horror: The Animals That Scare Us
22 October 2009 6:11 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
As the spookiest day of the year (Halloween) approaches, people start talking about what actually scares them the most. We’ve run several articles this month discussing horror films from multiple genres (Comedy, Sci-Fi, Thriller) and then we covered a list of “fun for everyone” Halloween films.
In too many instances people focus on the alien, zombie, ghost and slasher films to represent the horror genre - and while those are all truly frightening topics for films, I think that ultimately one of the scariest horror sub-genres often gets overlooked: Animals gone crazy!
Whether it’s by land, sea or air, creatures of every imaginable size and shape have terrorized us for decades. Some are exotic animals, others are extinct beasts brought back to life by the magic of Hollywood, while still others hit closer to home and make us question if we should even own a pet. Come join »

Free Flick of the Day: Frogs
20 October 2009 1:10 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Yesterday, we kicked off our first installment of Cinematical's Free Flick of the Day, where one of our writers will humbly suggest a good, bad, or truly ugly film you can watch for free over at AOL's /SlashControl. Since the content over there is constantly shifting, we'll try our very best to point you towards the good, the bad, and the ugliest films you can watch there for free.
Today's pick is an ugly little time-waster. Before Troll 2 rose to such "So bad it's good" acclaim, Frogs had the dubious honor of being called "The best bad movie I've ever seen in my life" by Fran Lebowitz, and was reportedly Andy Warhol's favorite horror movie. I first encountered it on a dollar DVD rack, and purchased it as a gift for a friend who adores bad movies. How can you resist a DVD cover like the one to »

My Name is Roger, and I'm an alcoholic
4 September 2009 8:47 AM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
In August 1979, I took my last drink. It was about four o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, the hot sun streaming through the windows of my little carriage house on Dickens. I put a glass of scotch and soda down on the living room table, went to bed, and pulled the blankets over my head. I couldn't take it any more.
On Monday I went to visit wise old Dr. Jakob Schlichter. I had been seeing him for a year, telling him I thought I might be drinking too much. He agreed, and advised me to go to "A.A.A," which is what he called it. Sounded like a place where they taught you to drink and drive. I said I didn't need to go to any meetings. I would stop drinking on my own. He told me to go ahead and try, and check back with him every month. »

Beau Geste - DVD Review
7 July 2009 8:50 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
A classic film in all regards is a vehicle for Gary Cooper, but it.s Brian Donlevy.s sadistic sergeant who stands out. The film had only been available as part of a Cooper box set but is given solo treatment for Universal.s Backlot Collection. Unfortunately that doesn.t mean that there are special features included. The Geste brothers, .Beau. (Gary Cooper), John (Ray Milland), and Digby (Robert Preston), have lived with Lady Brandon (Heather Thatcher) and her ward Isobel (Susan Hayward) since their childhood. The Brandon family has possession of the gem called the blue water, but the irresponsible head-of-family Sir Hector Brandon has been spending money like it was water. Word comes that Sir Hector is returning home »

Discover the Classic Adventure of ‘Beau Geste’
5 July 2009 2:18 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Every Sunday, Film School Rejects presents a movie that was made before you were born and tells you why you should like it. This week, Old Ass Movies presents: Beau Geste (1939) I can't imagine that when P.C. Wren wrote his adventure novel way back in 1924 that he could imagine the war movies of today. In fact, I'm guessing people of the day couldn't even imagine the sort of fire power that would go into modern wars themselves. The high tech bombs, the type of precision fighting that takes place, the almost complete lack of horses. Still, the allure of the wars of older times is still strong. There's a romanticism there applied to looking at a world where men on horseback fire pistols and rifles up at garrison walls. For that, Beau Geste has the attributes of a pure adventure story.

Hooch ‘n’ Harmonies
26 June 2009 9:54 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Undertones: Volume 2 In the 1940s the consumption of alcohol was predominantly glamorised on the silver screen. Starlets sipped sensuously on their g & t’s whilst detectives downed shots of whiskey before departing the office on a hot lead. If this was an accurate portrayal of the time, one has to ask how the hell anyone got anything done whilst being so heavily sauced. Despite the era’s predilection for depicting alcohol ingestion as a sophisticated way to spend one’s time, a film emerged from this period that actually dared to show the repercussions of excess binges with the bottle; Billy Wilder’s Oscar winning film, The Lost Weekend (1945). Starring Ray Milland in the lead role as Don Birham, a recovering alcoholic writer, The Lost Weekend follows four chaotic days as Birham jumps back on the wagon. Apart from classic Wilder dialogue and beautiful cinematography that recalls that of the »

Loews Jersey City Premieres New Print Of "The Uninvited" This Saturday
28 May 2009 6:04 PM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
A couple of months ago, the Loews Jersey City Theatre, the landmark restored movie palace, announced it was showing Universal's classic 1944 ghost movie The Uninvited starring Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey. When the print arrived, the theater discovered they had been sent the recent horror film bearing the same title. An investigation revealed that Universal had no prints of the 1944 in their archive. The Loews used the debacle to lobby the studio to strike a new print for posterity's sake and, full credit to Universal, they have done just that. The new print will make its premiere at the Loews this Saturday, May 30 at 6:00 Pm followed by a showing of Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca. Talk about a double feature! The Loews is only minutes from midtown Manhattan and draws hundreds of classic movie lovers to the magnificent theater to revel in great movies and great conversation with fellow fans. »

The Uninvited - DVD Review
23 April 2009 6:06 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
When this film was announced, a gasp went up from classic movie fans that thought the 1944 Ray Milland film was being remade for the teen crowd. It was a gasp of horror, but it turned out to be a redo of a Korean horror film. It.s decent enough but if you.re familiar with another film then you.ll see the surprise ending coming. Anna Rydell (Emily Browning) has been institutionalized since the death of her mother (Maya Massar). Her psychiatrist (Dean Paul Gibson) feels that it.s time for Anna to go home and resume her life. Her dad Steven (David Strathairn) is elated to see his daughter come home. However thing have changed in her absence. Dad »

Loews Jersey City Presents Classic Ghost Films This Weekend: "The Innocents", "The Ghost And Mrs. Muir" And "The Uninvited"
25 March 2009 3:46 AM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
Peter Wyngarde and Deborah Kerr in The Innocents.
Remember when ghost stories were created through use of imaginative techniques instead of the blood-soaked CGI special effects employed by today's filmmakers? The Loews Jersey City Theatre, a restored movie palace just minutes from Manhattan, will be presenting three classic ghost movies rarely seen on the big screen. On Friday, the festival kicks off with The Uninvited, a 1944 chiller with Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey as a brother and sister who move into an opulent British mansion - only to learn there are some unexpected and unwelcome spirits on the premises. On Saturday, a lighter view of the spiritual world is on display in the delightful comedy The Ghost and Mrs. Muir starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. The hightlight of the festival is the presentation of a new Fox archival print of Jack Clayton's superb 1963 film The Innocents, which ranks »

[DVD Review] Escape to Witch Mountain
16 March 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Disney does love itself some good child actors. Yes sir. Luckily, they found two decent ones in Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann whom, with only minimal amounts of help, carry Escape to Witch Mountain into the echelons of 1970s classics. Full of camp and with plenty of action to keep the story going, Escape to Witch Mountain establishes its message of self-discovery and never let's up until the end.
Tony (Ike Eisenmann) and Tia (Kim Richards) have a past comparable to Jason Bourne - and trust me I wish I was joking when I make that comparison. They both know they're different from the other children and they have vague recollections of events that happened before their life at the orphanage. Unfortunately, neither of them knows what that past is. The twins are all alone with only a small map and Tia's haunting visions of a shipwreck.
One day, Tony »

Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who last directed “28 Weeks Later” in 2007, the sequel to the British horror hit, has been attached to help develop a remake of sorts of the classic “X: The Man With The X-Ray Eyes” with MGM. Lou Arkoff will be executive produce the project, and Mandeville Films partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will be producing with Enrique Lopez Lavigne. “X: The Man With The X-Ray Eyes”, also known simply as “X”, is a science fiction/horror movie from 1963.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Remaking Roger Corman's X
11 March 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, best known as the guy who directed 28 Weeks Later, has been hired by MGM to develop a remake of Roger Corman's 1963 horror film X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes. The original starred Ray Milland as a scientist who is close to achieving a breakthrough in x-ray vision technology when his funding is cut off. Desperate to show results, the doc applies the eye drops to himself eventually loses control over his growing powers. It's not exactly one of Corman's greats, but it is certainly one of his classics, and I'm actually very excited to see Fresnadillo rework for modern times. Of course, the first recent horror movie about eyes that comes to mind is Jessica Alba's The Eye, but I don't think this will be anything like that. The Eye was a remake of a Chinese horror movie, not a Roger Corman classic. »

Roger Corman’s 1960s ‘X-Ray’ Movie To Be Remade
11 March 2009 10:28 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It seems like a day can’t go by without news coming out of another remake being in the works. Today it’s Roger Corman’s (the man who gave us such B-movies as Death Race 2000 and The Little Shop of Horrors, amongst many others) 1960s flick X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes that’s being remade.
Well, at least they’re doing a bit of digging into movie history as opposed to just remaking the first thing they lay their eyes on…
Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) has struck a deal with MGM to make a film based on Corman’s ’60s flick - it will be produced by Mandeville Film partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman along with Enqirue Lopez Lavigne, and will be executive produced by Lou Arkoff.
For those of you who don’t know, here is the synopsis of the original: »

X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes Remake Gets Director
11 March 2009 8:19 AM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
I’ve never seen the original “X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes” starring Ray Milland from 1963, and now apparently I won’t have to, because they’re remaking the Roger Corman film with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (pictured, left) from “28 Weeks Later” directing. I’m not the biggest fan of “28 Weeks Later”, mostly because I thought it was indulgent in its nihilism and had no substance to it whatsoever, but the premise for “X” sounds very cool. Variety describes it like this: The original starred Ray Milland as a scientist who is near a breakthrough in X-ray vision technology when his funding is cut off. Desperate to show results, the doc applies eye drops that eventually cause him to lose control over his growing powers. The Spaniard Fresnadillo is currently in Hollywood meeting with writers to adapt the film. Mandeville Films partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will produce with Enrique Lopez Lavigne. »
