Movie Review: ‘Open Water 3: Cage Dive’ Stinks Worse Than Fish Bait

I will be the first to admit that I love anything that involves sharks, so I was excited when I learned that the next film of the Open Water franchise, titled Open Water 3: Cage Dive, was out on DVD. Written and directed by Gerald Rascionato, the film centers on a group of three friends, played by Josh Potthoff, Megan Hill, and Pete Valley, doing stunts to make an audition tape for a reality show. The group boards a shark cage diving tour in hopes of getting great footage for their audition. When a rogue wave takes out the boat they are left drifting in the shark-infested water. After night sets in they magically find an inflatable raft floating by with enough goodies to give them a fighting chance of getting rescued. But that doesn’t last long. My first issue with the movie is that there’s only one thing worse than found footage, found footage with terrible audio and this

Jamie Lee Curtis Says ‘Halloween’ Is Terrifying!

We are officially halfway to Halloween, but today everyone is talking about the new Halloween movie thanks to the first official poster being released. To top it off, Laurie Strode herself, Jamie Lee Curtis revealed during a conversation with Yahoo that horror fans are “… gonna love this movie.” I’ve seen a trailer and I’ve seen some footage, and it’s terrifying,” Curtis told the site. “They went full-tilt boogeyman. And I’ve never said that in my life, and I will say full-tilt boogeyman for the rest of the year as I go around talking about this.” Curtis also mentioned what she though title of the movie should’ve been. There was the idea of, ‘What do you call it?’ If I had had my druthers, I probably would’ve called it Halloween Retold. Because it’s being retold. It’s the original story in many, many, many ways. Just retold 40 years later with my granddaughter.” In the film, directed by David Gordon Green

Movie Review: Prodigy (2018)

On the skids psychologist James Fonda (Richard Neil…who we recently interviewed right here) is called in to one of your garden variety top secret government facilities by an old classmate named Olivia (Jolene Andersen) to assist in examining Ellie (Savannah Liles) a whip smart telekinetic girl. Of course those that run the facility want to carve Ellie up like a Christmas goose to see what makes her so damn special. Making excellent use of a small cast and only a handful of locations (4 by my count, with interiors used to clinical and claustrophobic perfection), Prodigy is an impressive low budget sci-fi thriller. Neil and Liles deliver strong performances, their relationship grows believably, and the plight of young Ellie is an engaging one (if a bit derivative of King’s Firestarter here and there…minus the fire of course), and contains both strong emotional content, well-done visual effects to illustrate our young protagonists psychic powers,and a mounting tension as her fate looks
