Tentacles Claw Debuts
CORNER BROOK There is much mystery surrounding the local comic horror film “The Tentacle’s Claw,” but there is no mystique in the hype leading up to and including Friday’s premiere screening. The husband and wife duo of Michael Rigler, writer/director, and Tara Manuel, producer/star, combined with a local volunteer cast in Corner Brook to shoot the film in the summer of 2010. The filming was a tedious endeavour of working around the cast’s busy lives, Manuel said, only transcended by Read more [...]

New Apes On Track
Rise of the Planet of the Apes received great reviews and strong box office results, raking in over $480 million worldwide, in no small thanks to Andy Serkis, whose motion capture performance even got strong Oscar buzz. With the success of Rise, of course a sequel is moving forward, and now The Hollywood Reporter tells us Scott Z. Burns, the screenwriter of Contagion and The Bourne Ultimatum is on board to pen the script. The original writers on Rise, Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa, Read more [...]

Don’t Remake Suspiria
As a long time horror film buff, I absolutely loved Suspiria. Released in 1977, Suspiria is director Dario Argento’s masterpiece. The movie is an incredible visual and aural nightmare, with amazing set pieces and a groundbreaking score from the Italian progressive rock band Goblin, who also performed the soundtrack for the original Dawn of the Dead. Like Phantasm, Suspiria was born of a very personal filmmaking vision, it’s way more of a visual experience than one that relies Read more [...]

A House On A Haunted Hill
Posted on 16 May 2012
As a former English major, I couldn’t resist going to see the new version of Jane Eyre, starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. For those who can accept movies without a single bare breast or car crash, it’s a rare treat: beautifully filmed, beautifully performed, faithful to the spirit of the nineteenth-century original. One special pleasure for me was realizing that Jane, for all of her prim Victorian ways, is a strikingly modern young woman. Despite her low-key manner, she always Read more [...]

Bloodfist
Posted on 16 May 2012
A recent slide-show on Salon.com, entitled “The Best Remakes of All-Time,” chronicles movies that got better when their plots were re-imagined by later filmmakers. Like David Cronenberg’s chilling 1986 update of the old Vincent Price shocker, The Fly. Or the poignant Judy Garland musical version of A Star is Born. Or Howard Hawks’ transformation of that boys-will-be-boys newspaperman story, The Front Page, into a sparkling battle of the sexes, His Girl Friday.
I’m here to tell you: Read more [...]
