Are you ready for the sequel? It doesn’t surprise me one bit that “Hostel” was a success. Although this is certainly a bizarre concept for a horror flick, it’s terrifying nonetheless. Eli Roth pulls NO punches when it comes to gruesome death and slaughter! If you’ve seen “Cabin Fever,” you know exactly what I mean.
“Hostel […]
Remember all those random 3-D movies back in the day such as “Friday the 13th Part 3?” Well, it sounds like we’re in for an upcoming three-dimensional treat. Apparently a hefty slew of live-action 3-D films are set to release by 2009. Sadly it costs filmmakers an additional 10-15 million dollars to make these 3-D […]
One of the greatest horror flicks of all time took place in the small, rural town of Haddonfield, Illinois. A ghastly white mask was worn by the unstoppable killing machine, who sliced and diced his way through teenagers in order to get to his younger sister. By now you surely know what slasher classic I’m […]
You’ve probably noticed that countless films have been and are being remade. Is this Hollywood’s attempt to squeeze more capital out of an old blockbuster, or is Tinsel Town simply hurting for decent material? Hmm, maybe a little bit of both.
It’s often hard to top an old hit with a modern rendition. Films such as […]
I learned something from working in a video store for six years. People love to watch movies. Especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Hordes would shove their way past the clerks and concession stands to reach that new release wall. Unfortunately many would discover that the film they came for is all checked out. I’m […]
What is it about international travel that makes us cringe? Oh wait; I know! Could it possibly be the way foreign lands are depicted in American movies? “Turistas” is a prime example of what I mean. This gruesome horror flick takes place in Brazil, and it’s doubtful you’ll want to jaunt off to this “sunny […]
Do you purchase concessions when you go to the movies? Personally I avoid them for obvious reasons. They’re absurdly priced! There’s no way a bottle of water should cost $3.50, and yet it does at my local movie theater. Most likely you’ve encountered similar prices at your theater of preference. Now, the question is what […]
There was a great horror flick released back in 1974 entitled “Black Christmas.” In my opinion, this is the epitome of slasher films. It begins with a maniac sneaking into a sorority house attic. What else do you need to know, right? Anyway, as the movie progresses, you realize that the killer is utterly vicious […]
You’ve got to love a good horror movie! Sitting on the edge of your seat; praying for the innocent protagonist to find his/her way through a maze of terror and dread. Fortunately the recent flick “Vacancy” delivers. This film gives new meaning to the phrase “seedy motel room.” In fact, once you check in, don’t […]
Before moving to Chicago, I spent two years working in Los Angeles. I was able to work fairly regularly by using some fantastic resources that I thought I would share with you here.
Internet sites make it fairly easy to submit yourself for projects. Two useful ones are Actors Access and Nowcasting.
The Los Angeles […]
