Movie Review: Richard Stanley’s ‘Color Out Of Space’ Is Out Of This World

Richard Stanely’s adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space centers on a family living on a remote farm surrounded by ancient hardwoods. Their troubles begin when they are awakened by a strange noise and incredible lights of amethyst hues that fill the night sky, then the crash of a meteorite in their yard. The event makes the local news the next day but after a severe lightning storm, it is not long before an unseen alien menace begins to spread slowly in the form of flowers at first, then the farm’s animals begin to mutate and people’s minds are altered. Stanley’s adaptation approaches Lovecraft’s tale from a different angle than the original story. Instead of seeing the story unfold from the point of view of an outside investigator, we see witness the chaos first hand from the family’s perspective. It was a gamble to alter one of Lovecraft’s most famous stories, but it works out beautifully. The film itself

Todd MacFarlane’s Spawn Reboot Has A New Director

We all know that Spawn creator Todd MacFarlane has been working hard on a live-action reboot starring Jamie Foxx as Spawn and Jeremy Renner as Twitch. Today, news has come from MacFarlane himself that a new presently unnamed director has come aboard the project and is now finishing up on the script. Right now it’s being polished by another writer-director from the script that we handed him. MacFarlane told BeTerrific during an interview before continuing to say, “He’s supposed to be done with it here in a few weeks, and then once we sort of go back and forth and tighten it up a little bit, then we’re going into Hollywood and we’re gonna get a yes or no. Here’s what I can tell you: I have people with money on the sidelines. There are people that are gonna help me make this movie.

Blu-ray Review: The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984)

Gwendoline (Tawny Kitaen) ships herself to China in a wooden box, and is immediately kidnapped upon her arrival to the Far East. Thankfully for her, rough and tumble sailin’ man Willard (Brent Huff) comes to her rescue and takes up the task of helping our heroine locate the butterfly her butterfly (that’s a lot of “butterfly” in one sentence… oh, shit… ) collector father went missing in the mythic land of the Yik Yak trying to find… for a fee of course. Along the way our erstwhile heroes must contend with river pirates, cannibals, poisonous clouds, and a tribe of Amazons that live in a hi-tech mine deep below the Earth… a serious ordeal all for a simple butterfly! Want to know something that exemplifies the surreal nature of The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak? The film has an easy-listenin’ synth score (totally inappropriate given it’s early 1930’s setting) that plays no matter the sitch…

Legendary Is Taking Us To ‘Sin City’ With New Series

It’s been five years since Sin City: A Dame to Kill For premiered. Now, it looks like we are getting Sin City television series. Legendary Television has sealed the deal with Frank Miller to turn Sin City into a television series. According to Deadline Robert Rodriguez is “close” to joining the project, Deadline reports. “The deal on the table is for Legendary to guarantee a first season of the show, contingent on them setting it up with a network or streaming platform.” “The deal with Miller also calls for a hard R animated series for a Sin City prequel based on Miller’s graphic novels.” Robert Rodriguez co-directed 2005’s Sin City as well as its sequel along with Miller. It wouldn’t be a big surprise if both end up serving as executive producers as well as directors. This is not the first time a “Sin City” series has come up. Back in 2017 Dimension was planning series with Glen Mazzara and
