This week in Nato and Remy's Last Stand, the duo discuss what songs would make up the final playlist they would ever hear if they were facing the apocalypse.
Excision isn't for the weak of heart or those hoping for a simple-minded watch, but can most certainly be a rewarding endeavor for any viewer needing a good character piece full of personalities worth a good psycho-analysis.
A whole generation of viewers watched Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) grow up before their eyes week after week for seven seasons on the television show Boy Meets World. Now it looks like a brand new generation will get to watch another Matthews child deal with their awkward teenage years as Screen Rant is reporting The Disney Channel is currently developing a sequel aptly titled Girl Meets World, focusing on Cory and Topanga's daughter.
Since recently losing his bid to direct a new Daredevil film and while currently being eyed to direct the feature film adaptation of Mark Millar's comic series Nemesis, it looks like we finally have news on a project Joe Carnahan is directing for sure. No really, we swear. According to Twitch Film, Carnahan will be directing a self-described "low-budget actioner" titled Stretch, which is set to star usual supporting actor Patrick Wilson, being produced by IM Global (Dredd 3D) and Blumehouse Productions (Paranormal Activity franchise).
There's a trend in Hollywood, amongst all genres and not limited to any time frame, that's usually inevitable for a smash hit film. It goes like this - a fantastic piece of cinema is created, box office success triumphs, studios bask in their momentary glory, and a sequel gets put into motion before the current hype is forgotten. It usually works too. Fans hype up the sequel, media promotes the crap out of it, a script is ordered to be rapidly completed, production is prioritized to get a hopeful follow-up hit in theaters as soon as possible, and before we know it the next Saw type film franchise is started only a year after the original's release. Brilliant marketing is used, fans get another franchise entry, it seems like a win-win, right?
The Man With The Iron Fists hasn't even been released to public audiences yet, but apparently former musician turned writer/director/actor RZA won't need box office numbers to validate new and exciting directorial opportunities on future big budget features.
It's a shame Silent Hill: Revelation suffers the same doomed fate as most modern horror movies, bumbling through a shockingly disconnected screenplay which strings together moments that could have been salvaged otherwise.
With HBO's Game of Thrones asserting itself as one of television's biggest hits right now, many of you probably know young actor Kit Harington as his popular warrior character Jon Snow. With his Hollywood stock on a huge rise, you can expect to see a heavy dosage of Mr. Harington pretty soon, starting with the horror film Silent Hill: Revelation. In Michael J. Bassett's feature film adaptation of the video game Silent Hill 3, Kit can be seen playing a newly modified version of the character Vincent. Teaming up with Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens), the two must traverse the darkened world of Silent Hill, finding the truth behind Heather's mysterious upbringing.
Looks like Christmas is coming early for horror fans, as Santa is crossing people off his list whether they're naughty or nice this year - except instead of delivering presents filled with holiday cheer, he'll be doling out violent slayings, and melting snow will run red with the blood of his victims. You'll definitely be wishing for a Silent Night after this Santa Claus comes to town.
Remy and I like instant gratification just as much as the next guy - how could you not? Drive thrus and insta-apps have made life so simple and easy, it's almost disgusting. In many ways, we have become parodies of ourselves, refusing to move until we melt into the furniture of our bedrooms like a scene from Videodrome. So, of course, the idea of instantly accessing an entire database of films at your beckoning call is some sort of heaven, moving us one step closer to our human forms from Wall-E.
