This weekend we get a remake of a '70s horror classic, Arnold and Stallone finally punching and shooting things together onscreen ('80s action-movie fans, rejoice!) and a based-on-true-events political thriller about that creepy-looking Wikileaks guy.
October 17, 2013 A horror movie starring Kevin Costner? Yup! If you've never checked out 'The New Daughter,' and you like those 'demon-possessed children' films, you should watch this one. Costner does a pretty convincing job of being a freaked-out Dad! A decent story and beautiful South Carolina scenery make this movie one of my favorite horror flicks.
October 8, 2013 What would happen if you were in a coffee shop and that weird Carrie girl freaked out on someone? Well, a bunch of real customers found out recently during a well-planned publicity stunt. It's one of those moments....you know you should run away but, at the same time, you're so amazed that you want to see what happens next!
October 7, 2013 October is Horror movie season in my house. Jim and I try to watch as many horror movies as possible, all month long, in celebration of Halloween. Our work schedules have made it tough for us to watch too many this year, but we did catch 'The Possession.' A fairly creepy movie that had a good cast!
October 4, 2013 It's happened again. Yet another movie based on a Stephen King novel has been remade. Now, before you roll your eyes, remember that it's not always a bad thing! Personally, I prefer the TV-Miniseries version of 'The Shining' better than the Hollywood version with Jack Nicholson coming off as more funny than scary. The trailer for this latest remake looks intriguing!
October 2, 2013 Jim and I hadn't been watching the movie 'The Hobbit' for more than a half hour when he realized there was no way they would cover the whole book in that one movie. Still, we loved it! And now, we're very excited that the next chapter is near!
Country star Jason Aldean looked tough as nails in the exclusive first look at his upcoming movie 'Sweetwater.' Now, the official movie trailer and poster have been revealed. Tthe verdict? The entire film seems to be tough as nails!
James Wan has done it again. For the second time this year, a horror film that he's directed has opened to over $40 million, securing his position as the reigning king of mainstream horror cinema. He may be taking a break from the genre to direct 'Fast and Furious 7,' but after the jaw-dropping success of 'The Conjuring' and now 'Insidious Chapter 2,' you just know he'll be back. No one is bringing the audiences in quite like Wan.
Oh, and there were some other movies that made some money, too.
Funny guy, musician and actor, Steve Martin turns 68 today! Who could forget Steve's song "King Tut"? Not us!
Here's Steve performing King Tut with the Steep Canyon Rangers at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz Festival!
By the way, he's still one "wild and crazy guy"!
August 5, 2013 It's hard to believe it was 30 years ago today that America first witnessed Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear. It was a role that turned Cruise from a newcomer into a person-to-watch.
