‘Rambo 5’ in the works, if you care

Seriously, does anoyne still care about “Rambo”? Variety reports that Sylvester Stallone is preparing for a fifth “Rambo.” And honestly, I don’t care. Do you? Stop beating that dead horse.

Return of the movie mustache!

It wasn’t until I watched the trailer for “The Men Who Stare at Goats” that I realized how many current and upcoming movies are featuring mustaches. For years, the upper lip has been bare. But not since Tom Selleck has there been so much hair there (OK, except for Daniel Day-Lewis in 2007’s “There Will […]

Oh great, Rob Zombie to remake ‘The Blob’

Variety is reporting that Rob Zombie will leave the “Halloween” franchise alone and focus on other unoriginal work: remaking 1958’s “The Blob.” And here I was hoping we’d be treated to “Halloween III: Season of the Skank” by Zombie. Imagine it: an updated but gritty Silver Shamrock company, run out of the back of a […]

The best horror sequels

Sequels. Love them or hate them, they’re going to be served to us. As we all know, sequels are rarely better than their predecessors, and sometimes they’re just plain bad. But every now and then a second installment (or third or fourth) might rank right up there with the original.  Since Rob Zombie’s “Halloween II” and […]

‘Avatar Day’ reactions mixed

I’m so bummed. I didn’t get any presents or cards for “Avatar Day.” I’m being silly. Actually, I didn’t get to see the free footage because there wasn’t a theater close enough (and I had concert tickets to Journey and Heart). So I did the next best thing. I raided various blogs and read a […]

Tuesday’s best bet: ‘The Last House on the Left’

“The Last House on the Left” hits the shelves Tuesday, and besides Dexter Season 3, it’s your only good option. Mini review:  I have almost no trust in movie remakes. But every now and then, one comes along and totally surprises me. The reboot of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” was one and now, “The Last […]
