Every Monday I’ll take a look at some fun movie-related things. I’ll fill you in on movies being made, and what I’m excited to see in the theaters/on dvd. You’ll also get a fun short film of the week!
First off, I went to a great panel at ECCC on upcoming films. Hosted by Gareth Von Kallenbach, creator of Skewed and Reviewed, I learned that almost every sci-fi/horror film this decade is going to be made in 3D. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this list.
Movies that are rumored to be made in 3D:
Amityville Horror
Jeepers Creepers
Clash of the Titans
Friday the 13th 2
Green Lantern
Halloween 3
Harry Potter
The Hobbit
Jeepers Creepers
Night of the Creeps
Nightmare on Elm Street 2
Resident Evil 4
Saw 7
Tron Legacy
Transformers 3
Zombieland sequel
What do you think of the 3D trend? Is it here to stay? And does it add anything to the film? I don’t know about you, but I’m psyched to hear more about the Zombieland sequel. And if you like zombies, you’ll love this week’s dvd pick!
DVD Pick:
I saw Dead Snow at SIFF last year, and it was a blast. This movie, about a group of young adults who get trapped up in a mountain cabin with Nazi Zombies (yes, you read that right), is violent, funny, and everything you need in a Zombie film. A couple disclaimers: This one isn’t for the youngins. There’s blood, guts, and sexual situations that might make kids squirm. Also, the film is foreign, which means it has subtitles. I saw a midnight screening and it didn’t bother me, but it’s better to know going in.
Coming Soon:
Predators is a gory, action-packed “reboot” of the Predator film franchise and is starring Adrien Brody. He is one of my all-time favorite actors and can be seen in films such as The Jacket (such a good film!) and The Village (which I actually really liked. Even though no one else did). Check out behind the scenes info on their website, and check back their on the 18th for the trailer!
Short Film of the Week:
Finally, I’d like to leave you with a fun short film. “Alma” was one of my favorite films of Seattle’s Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Festival. It seems like a cute film about a girl and a doll store, but quickly takes a darker turn. It’s only a little over 5 minutes long, but you will love it!
