Ki ki ki, ma-oh, wait, sorry, that's the other guy! Naw, this guy I wanna talk about doesn't actually speak, despite how much everyone wants him to. Michael Myers, despite getting his fingers blown off and (assumedly) burned to a crisp last fall, will be returning for Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, as will his nemesis Laurie Strode. Jamie Lee Curtis, the horror heroine who plays the traumatized Strode, is even more excited for the sequels than we are.
While never critical darlings, the Resident Evil film series ran for an impressive six films, spanning 14 years. Milla Jovovich led every single one of them, kicking both normal and undead ass along the way. However, action stars don't do all that work on their own; they rely heavily on stunt doubles for complicated shots that require danger, and sometimes that danger comes to fruition. Stuntwoman Olivia Jackson is suing producers after they stopped providing medical support, post-accident.
"What's the deal with streaming rights, amirite? First, you're over here, next, you're over there, all while I'm thinking 'I just wanna watch my MTV!'" That's not a, uh, direct Seinfeld quote, as I wrote it on spec, but not a bad impression, eh? I've honed it from watching a good chunk of the comedian's titular sitcom over the years. My grandma even used to watch it live, when it was brand new. Now, perhaps a new generation will do the same when the series leaves its longtime home on Hulu in 2021 to head over to Netflix.
Quick! Call into work sick, or down that bottle of epicac: AMC is having an all-day Friday the 13th marathon for those lucky enough to still have cable.
I was 12 years old in 2004, when the first Resident Evil: Outbreak came out.
My life as a big ol’ game boy had already been solidified years earlier, when I got my beloved and dearly missed Sega Dreamcast for the 1999 holiday season. I’d also, when even younger, somehow came into the possession of a gym bag full of NES cartridges, despite not owning one. My crack-addict uncle stole those games at some point and sold them. Probably for crack. He didn't even share it, the greedy bastard.
Spooky clowns scare me. But sadly, It: Chapter Two didn't really hit any of those sweet scary notes for me. Honestly, I laughed and had fun more than anything else. It wasn't bad, just kinda disappointing. I liked bits of it though and one of my favorite moments came when...
Ah, good old Robert Englund. Despite playing one of the preeminent 80s slashers throughout the Nightmare on Elm Street series, the man himself seems like a lovable, if occasionally gruff, old gent. At Dragon Con in Atlanta over the weekend, Englund was asked about the upcoming odd The Goldbergs cameo, where he is reprising the dream demon Freddy Krueger for the Halloween episode, "Mister Knifey-Hands."
Let us go back to the 1980s, when children in mortal peril was more the norm. The Goonies was a massive hit in the summer of 1985. Those darn titular characters; they laugh together, they fat shame together and they never say die. Sequel ideas, however, are not so immune, according to actors Sean Astin and Corey Feldman.
There was a major disturbance in the force when that eighth episode of Star Wars hit theaters what seems like a long, long time ago. Fans were split as to whether or not Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi was great, good, okay, or the worst piece of cinema ever. Even if you fall in the latter category though, buckle up, because despite your negative online comments, Johnson's new trilogy set in that galaxy far, far away is indeed still in the works - despite reports to the contrary.
"Listen, and understand! That Terminator: Dark Fate is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. It absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are back in the franchise!" I imagine that was a line that director Tim Miller used on original survivor of the T-800, Linda Hamilton, to try and get her to come back for the sixth installment of the long-running series. She, initially, didn't want to return, according to a recent interview.
