All Work And No Play Makes “The Shining” A Dull Film

Does Anyone Remember? The Shining film has had plenty written about it. Spielberg made it a center plot point in Ready Player One, focusing on the fact that its creator, Stephen King, hated the film. I think that was a great scene, and far more entertaining in some respects than the actual film. You can read just one of many King articles on this HERE. Cynema is not about film reviews. It’s looking at cynicism in filmmaking and entertainment. Kubrick’s translation of King’s novel has a certain amount of cynicism to it. After some online conversations, I thought I would get this out and off my plate. Was Kubrick a tad cynical in his vision for The Shining? Nostalgia has given Kubrick’s “horror masterpiece” a free pass, in my opinion. Many forget that the film’s 1980 release saw tepid reviews and an indifferent reception. The film made money and did well on cable and home video where it went into

First Details Of New “Walking Dead” Spin-Off Emerge

Like a zombie outbreak, AMC’s “Walking Dead” empire shows no signs of slowing. “TWD” spawned “Fear the Walking Dead” in 2015. Then announced a trilogy of feature films following Andrew Lincoln’s exit from the hit series last year. So what’s next? AMC has just announced the franchise’s third series. The new series will feature two young female protagonists and the first generation to come-of-age in the zombie apocalypse in Virginia. “Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.” The still-untitled series was created by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and “Walking Dead” writer Matt Negrete who will serve as showrunner. The 10-episode first season is set to premiere on AMC in 2020.

The Devil’s Hunt gameplay trailer showcases the powers Desmond will have and the kind of foes he will face in Hell, Jerusalem, and Miami.

Everything We Know About ‘Jurassic World 3’ Including Its Premiere Date

The Jurassic franchise is one of the largest franchise to have ever graced the silver screen. The last film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom brought in over $1.3 billion at the box office alone. Now fans are eagerly awaiting the third and final film of Jurassic World. The good news, there is a premiere date. The bad news, it’s more than two years away. But with the number of special effects the film requires, it’s not a huge surprise that we will have to wait. Plus, I’m sure that star Chris Pratt has his hands full with his commitment to MCU. As for plot details, we know very little about the sequel. So what do we know? We know that Colin Trevorrow will be back in the director’s chair. We also know that both Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be reprising their roles as Owen Grady and Claire Dearing. We were introduced to young Maise (Isabella Sermon) who was created

American Gods’ Orlando Jones Will Face ‘Dark Forces’ In Upcoming Horror Film

Today, Lexicon announced that they have cast actor Orlando Jones in Dark Forces, the third film from The Timber director Anthony O’Brien who co-wrote the script along with Lexicon co-founders and producers Mark Mathias (Doubting Thomas) and Justin Foia (Point Defiance). In Dark Forces, “While recovering from brain surgery at a rehabilitation center, acclaimed monster movie director Jerry Graves (Jones) becomes haunted by the ghastly creatures and grisly scenes of his own horror films.” It’s a huge honor to be directing Dark Forces in and of itself, but to have Orlando Jones as the lead is beyond thrilling,” says O’Brien. “Building the film around him was the easiest decision I could make. Orlando’s multi-talented and intellectually stimulating performances speak for themselves; his turn as ‘Mr. Nancy’ on STARZ’ American Gods provides a perfect example of this. His contribution to DARK FORCES will allow the audience to experience a thoughtful energy and voice that old (and new) fans of the genre

Blu-ray Review: Scared Stiff (1987)

In the late 1800’s, a shit heel of a slaver named George Masterson (David Ramsey) is cursed by the poor souls he bought and sold…flash forward to the late 1980’s, and a Psychiatrist named David (Andrew Stevens) and his pop singer gal pal (and former patient), Kate (Mary Page Keller) move into that doomed a-holes house…what could go wrong? The answer of course is every fucking thing. Heralded by an abundance of natures most terrifying creations, pigeons…wait, fucking pigeons?!! Anyway, a few bad dreams and visions, some outre discoveries in the abode (read: centuries old corpses and a strange talisman), and yes, pigeons, lead to a voodoo monster terrorizing our heroes six ways to Sunday! While a bit of a slow burn in the actual horror department, Scared Stiff never became tedious for your’s cruelly (and the third act pay-off is an absolutely fantastic display of gooey, monster-packed practical effects wizardry and well worth the wait). The ages old mystery,

Blu-ray Review: Keoma (1976)

Keoma (Franco Nero), a half-breed former Union gunfighter proves the old adage that you can’t go home again as he returns to the land of his youth to find the entire place stricken with a plague. As if that wasn’t bad enough, his racist AF half-brothers have teamed up with a real shit heel of a dude, the Confederate tyrant Caldwell (Donald O’Brian) and the lot of ’em keep the town strangled under an iron grip of terror. Soon our hero teams up with his father (William Berger) and aging mentor George (Woody Strode) to attempt to rid the town of those no-good sidewinders! Coming near the end of the spaghetti western cycle, Enzo G. Castellari’s (1990: The Bronx Warriors, Warriors of the Wasteland) Keoma is stylish, loaded with over-the-top violence, and surprising levels of soul searching from our stoic, sharp-shootin’ hero. And while the basics of the story…ultra-serious gunfighter blows into town and has to protect the people from

Dave Bautista Will Face Off Against An ‘Army Of The Undead’ In New Movie

Ahead of Dave Bautista‘s big match Sunday night at WrestleMania we’ve learned that the Guardians of the Galaxy star will face the undead in Zack Snyder‘s upcoming big budget movie Army of the Dead, THR reports. Set to begin filming later this year, the film is set “amid a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, during which a man assembles a group of mercenaries to take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantined zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.” There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one,” Snyder told THR. “It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware — but not in a wink-to-the-camera way — balls-to-the-wall zombie freakshow that anyone has ever seen.” Snyder will direct as well as produce Army of the Dead alongside his wife Deborah under his Stone Quarry banner. The zombie flick was penned by Joby Harold, based on a story by Snyder.
