Top Ten Tuesday: Slay It Again, Sam!

Filed under: Featured Articles,General News,Top Ten Tuesday — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Movie Geeks @ 7:13 am

There’s a lot of evil out there! Disposing of the nasty creatures, monsters, zombies, witches, vampires and the like is a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it. Remakes of FRIGHT NIGHT and CONAN THE BARBARIAN will splatter evil blood all over screens this week when they open in theaters on Friday, August 19th, so here’s a look at our favorite monster killers from the movies.

Now, before we get started… a list like this really needs to be defined, so here are those pesky rules that govern who makes the cut and who gets cut:

  • You must have multiple kills! One and done is not enough.
  • You must be a full-time monster hunter. None of this part-time, moonlighting crap!
  • You must actually “kill” the monsters. Sorry, but The Ghostbusters don’t make the cut.

Six New FRIGHT NIGHT Stills Feature Colin Farrell & Anton Yelchin

Filed under: General News,Movie Stills — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Michelle McCue @ 1:52 pm

Man am I jazzed over this remake and, truthfully, I wasn’t at first. But now that DreamWorks has sent us these six new images from director Craig Gillespie’s film, I’m truly stoked!  Just like the great 1985 film FRIGHT NIGHT, written & directed by Tom Holland, this new version once again centers around Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin). He’s a high school senior who’s on top of the world—that is until Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door and Charlie discovers that he is a vampire preying on the neighborhood.

I’m really excited to see a first trailer for the film – Farrell looks so deliciously evil. Plus I can’t wait to see David Tennant’s appearance as Peter Vincent – Vampire Killer, who is taking over for the late Roddy McDowall. Hopefully the line from the original, “Stop…you creature of the night,” makes it into the first teaser.

Synopsis:

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all—he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door.

Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis (“Eat Pray Love”) stars as Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, who is the first to open up—to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories—and as it turns out, they have a lot to say.

But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a cool guy, but beneath the surface, there’s something off about him – something intimidating. And after observing some very strange activity along with the mysterious disappearance of his best friend, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire who’s preying on the neighborhood.

Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
