Dinos Get Weaponized In Jurassic World 2
Will humanity ever learn not to mess with nature? It’s unlikely, and when it comes to movies, I hope not. The Jurassic Park franchise is a great example of how playing god can get you into trouble. It’s been a year since the we reported that J.A. Bayona would be in the director’s chair for Jurassic World 2. And while we have revealed several pieces of information, but so far there have been little information about the plot, until now. While Universal has not announced anything we did track down a small summary on the site Production Weekly. They are reporting the following synopsis: The adventures at the Jurassic World resort and theme park continue as the government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. In the previous film training the dinos for war was brought up, so it’s not that surprising. Weaponizing and altering genetics also proved to be a very bad idea in

‘Maniac Cop’ Is Going To Stalk The Streets Again – A New Reboot Is Coming
Last year we told you that a remake of Maniac Cop was on it’s way. After a long delay, it is finally entering production. The film will be a modern adaption of William Lustig’s 1988 genre classic, with Nicolas Winding Refn (The Neon Demon) and Lene Børglum (The Neon Demon) producing. John Hyams (Z Nation, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) will be directing from the script penned by Ed Brubaker (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Refn, Variety reports. Set in the present day, Maniac Cop follows a L.A. police officer who is determined to reveal the truth about the brutal murders of innocent people by one of her fellow cops. Unlike the original, the reboot of the film will not be pure horror, but more of a “contemporary action thriller”, which will make it very different from the original.

More Films For The Ghostbusters Franchise Are On The Way
After last year’s female-driven reboot of Ghostbusters failed to cover costs at the box office and left fans unhappy, we thought it would be awhile before we saw another sequel for the franchise. It turns out, we were only half right. In a recent interview with io9, Ivan Reitman, who directed the original and still co-owns Ghost Corps, acknowledged the 2016 reboot’s failures, but left with fans with hope. Not only will we be getting a 2019 or 2020 animated film, there are more live-action instalments on the way. We certainly would’ve loved to have a larger hit,” Reitman said. “But considering the last film was almost 30 years ago, it really did extremely well. I think the film cost too much, frankly, and that’s the real issue. I personally had other points of view in terms of where the film should go and it was kind of a continuous conversation with Paul [Feig] about that. But Paul was the

Movie Review: THE BELKO EXPERIMENT is a Battle Royale of Staplers
Eighty Office Drones with bombs in their heads, a kitchen filled with knives, a locker full of firearms, and a mysterious voice in the ceiling commentating on a game of death; what else could a horror fan ask for? With The Belko Experiment, writer and producer James Gunn harkens back to his Troma roots, delivering an over the top ode to carnage, nihilism, and primal savage. While the film’s message might muddled under an ocean of gore, and whatever insight it had to offer blown away like a Belko Employee’s cranium, Experiment offers what’s likely to be the most bloody fun time you’ve had in awhile; that is if your soul (and your stomach) can handle it. Belko’s premise is simple, with similarities that can be traced all the way back to Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery. 80 employees of the Belko Corporation, each with a bomb stuck in their head, are locked in their building and given two options; kill

Movie Review: FREAK OUT Shows Potential Despite Its Predictability
Matan is a young man who serves on the Israeli Defense Force. But his role in the military isn’t as your typical grunt – Matan is a military assistant. Not necessarily a secretary, but definitely something clerical, which is definitely better suited for his meek disposition. However, at some point during one’s military service, they may b asked to muck in like everybody else and today is his day. Actually it’s his week to step up, since he and three other soldiers will be sent to a remote outpost to guard an antenna array. When he finally meets his three fellow soldiers, Ishay, Roy and Uzi, he realizes it could be a long weeks, as they start giving him the business from he get go. Matan’s only lifeline seems to be his mother, who he incessantly texts and calls during his journey to assume his week-long guard post. When they arrive, Matan begins to calm down, believing that he has
