“Reign” Star To Play Vampire In Third Season Of “Preacher”

AMC’s supernatural series “Preacher”, from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is approaching its third season. The wild series, based on the graphic novel by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillion, has announced that Adam Croasdell has joined the cast and is set to play a 350-year-old vampire who bears wisdom with an air of aristocracy. The character, named Eccarius, is regal, suave and is more of the romantic style vamp (think Interview with the Vampire). While he first comes off as a cliché in the beginning, he is far darker than he appears. Croasdell, who lends his voice to the Final Fantasy gaming franchise, has starred in many series and games including “Reign”, “Bond, James Bond” the series, 2013’s Dead Island Riptide, and Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

The Trouble With Eli Roth’s DEATH WISH

(NOTE: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. IF YOU DON’T AGREE, I RESPECT THAT) Gun’s are cool, shooting bad guys is badass, and 6-chamber street justice is the name of the game in Eli Roth’s deeply problematic Death Wish. Initially delayed after the tragic Las Vegas shooting last October, Death Wish had the great misfortune of being released only a few weeks after the tragic shooting at Stonemason Douglas High school in Florida. It seems there’s too much gun violence in America to respectfully release a film celebrating gun violence. Well, that’s assuming it’s possible to respectfully release a film celebrating gun violence at all. The Charles Bronson led original, released back in 1974, hasn’t aged particularity well, but can at least be said to be a product of the times. What’s Eli Roth’s excuse, releasing a film in 2018 that is so unabashedly pro-murder, pro-vigilante, and generally misguided and ugly. Extended scenes of fictional violence has never been something that’s

Kubrick Estate Auctioning Never Before Seen Cut Of ‘The Shining’ Among Other Items

Stanley Kubrick may be gone, but his legendary films still live and flourish. Aste Bolaffi, an Italian auction website, has posted a number of pieces of Kubrick memorabilia. The item that is garnering the most attention is a never before seen cut of ‘The Shining’ which is longer than any previously released cuts and includes a deleted scene that has never been seen by the public. “Long cut of the original film The Shining containing the scene in which Wendy, played by Shelley Alexis Duvall, carries Danny, played by little Danny Lloyd. These cuts, given by Kubrick to D’Alessandro, are particularly rare because the director notoriously burned all the leftovers at the conclusion of the editing.” The auction for this historic piece stars at $3,700. If you want even more ‘Shining’ love, the jacket worn by Jack Nicholson’s auction price starts at $12,000. The auction promises many items for a collection of Kubrick’s films.

Movie Review: But Deliver Us From Evil is a Jumbled Mess of a Fright Flick

The biblical succubus Lilith returns in the modern age (and appears in Georgia) and begins murdering religious figures around town (and by murdering I mean seducing them and making them explode) which baffles the local police (though in truth constructing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich seems like it would be an insurmountable challenge to these geezers). Eventually our slinky antagonist makes her way to a local college campus and begins to stalk sad sack new student Jeremiah who’s lineage as a long lost offspring of a Pastor with the power to destroy the demon makes him a threat. Holy shit, But Deliver Us From Evil, you are one stinking piece of cinematic hot garbage! The whole affair seems like a series of random scenes stitched together with some sort of whisper of a plot thrown in…and about that plot; with it’s strong religious overtones was this film made for the church goin’ crowd? Well if so, there is a

Image Of ‘The Walking Dead’s “Nude” Walker Emerges

It was announced not long ago that the upcoming season of AMC’s now snooze-fest The Walking Dead will be having a nude zombie. The Show’s make-up artist/director Greg Nicotero posted an image on his Instagram yesterday of what looks to be the well awaited fully nude walker that he and others have been making hype about… Yep…that’s it, that’s the fully “nude” zombie we were promised. Though the work is an amazing testament to how far special effects makeup has come along but in the context the hype was based on, I think we saw more from the walker from the first season, known as bicycle girl, though was decayed you clearly could tell it had breasts, I think that’s the naughtiest zombie we’ve seen on the series. Is “stripping the zombie” the new “jump the shark”? Who knows. But from what was written by Forbs we may be wondering all this as we go to season 9.
