Monsterverse vs Dceu
Since debuting in 2013, the DC Extended Universe has been one disaster after another for Warner Brothers. Massive critical and fan backlash, constant shake-ups in creative direction, and increasingly dwindling box office plagued the once promising franchise before it was finally put out of its misery by The Flash; though Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom might still be canon depending on who you ask.
Yet at the same time, WB has helped spearhead another cinematic universe that might be the only one besides Marvel to work out in the long run. The Monsterverse: a series of films and TV shows adapting beloved Japanese kaiju such as Godzilla, alongside original monsters and American icon King Kong for good measure.

Director David Bruckner is on a roll. After helming the critically lauded haunter "Night House," starring the spectacular Rebecca Hall as a widow discovering a dark secret, Bruckner is currently enjoying the overwhelmingly positive reviews for "Hellraiser" on Hulu, his re-introduction to Clive Barker's perversely alluring universe. With the newly announced "V/H/S/85," he's also returning to the found footage anthology franchise that helped make him a writer and director to watch. After the success of the first "V/H/S" in 2012, Bruckner was approached by Paramount with the edict of creating a new "Friday the 13th" movie that embraced the found footage trope.

While critics agree that “Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard” might offer the entertainment of watching Samuel L. Jackson swear incessantly, the film’s reviews suggest that the film’s lack of a plot is not made up for through its stale and overused humor.
Reviews from early Wednesday agree that the sequel to the 2017 film “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” has even less going for it than the original — besides the fact that it opens during a time when audiences are eager to head the movie theaters after a long haitus.
TheWrap’s own Alonso Duralde wrote, “’Hitman’s Wife Bodyguard’ is a comedy with not one legitimate laugh, and an action movie where cars keep blowing up while the A-listers yell at each other, as though that were inherently amusing or entertaining. It’s a film that’s both frantic and listless; the overall impression is one of movie stars screaming their lines...

We correctly guessed that the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. director would be based on '40s era Marvel Comics hero The Patriot a while before Jeffrey Mace (Jason O'Mara) made his debut on the show, but so far there hasn't been any indication that he ever actually fought under that mantle. However, the second episode back just so happens to be titled "The Patriot", and based on what we learn from the synopsis below, that could well mean we'll get to see Mace suit-up. Episode 4.10 - The Patriot Coulson and Mack discover a shocking secret about Mace, which leaves all of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a dangerous position. Guests: Jason O'Mara, Mallory Jansen, Adrian Pasdar, Maximilian Osinski, Patrick Cavanaugh, Troy Caylak, Kimberley Drummond, Shelly Robertson, Alastair Bayardo The small-screen version of Mace is a lot different to his comic book counterpart (he's an Inhuman, for one), so even if S.

On the heels of an overall synopsis for the second half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s fourth season and a breakdown of the first episode back, we now have this intriguing tease for the following week’s installment, which is titled “The Patriot.” As many Marvel Comics fans rightfully guessed around the time he debuted on the show, the team’s new director Jeffrey Mace (Irish actor Jason O’Mara) is actually based on a character called the Patriot – a Golden Age superhero first introduced in the ’40s, who actually served under the mantle of Captain America for a time.
The show recently revealed that Mace was, in fact, an Inhuman, who appears to exhibit immense strength (the comic book incarnation didn’t actually posses any super powers at all), but from the sounds of things, they might also be planning on taking him back to his patriotic roots.

Actor and comedy legend Leslie Nielsen sadly passed away recently, and as if by magic the films that remained on the shelf for so long suddenly burst into the fore as everyone trys to score a quick cash-in.
The first of which, in Nielsen’s case, is Stonerville… Yeah, don’t hold out much hope folks – this is a film about a YouTube celebrity, and also stars Pauly Shore. Hmmmm. According to reports, Screen Media Films have acquired the ”comedy” and will release it on DVD next month.
The film, which stars Pauly Shore, Patrick Cavanaugh and Phil Morris tells the story of a comedian and self-proclaimed “King of YouTube” named Slam Slamsky who loses his job and girlfriend only to find new inspiration in a fan of his viral videos. Check out the trailer:
Stonerville is released straight to DVD in the Us on January 11th 2011.

Straight-to-dvd comedies starring Pauly Shore, Patrick Cavanaugh and Phil Morris usually don't rise to the level of mention. But when one of the stars is late comic actor Leslie Nielsen, appearing in his last role, the release does have some anticipation attached to it. Screen Media, which is distributing the film on disc, has announced a Jan. 11 DVD release date for the film. It's available for pre-order on Amazon for $22.49. Canadian-born Nielsen, star of "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" movies, died on Nov. 28 in Florida at the age of 84.

Only five episodes in, "Mad Men's" fourth season has already proven to be one of the series' strongest, and definitely its most entertaining. But unlike its predecessors, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword's" competing narratives had decidedly stronger competing tones. There was drama at the agency, but also plenty of hijinks and laughs -- like "The West Wing" during its Sorkin years. But back at the Draper and Francis residences? "Mommie Dearest." The experience on the family side of things reminded me of reading Jonathan Franzen's brilliant The Corrections, which was both enjoyable and miserable. I knew I was reading an impressive piece of fiction, but I couldn't help but feel like it was a punishment. Perhaps in "Mad Men," the dissonance was more acute this time because the storylines shared an episode, scenes alternating between the drama of Don and Betty's kids and that of Sterling Cooper Draper Price.

Recently Dread Central scribe Heather Wixson caught up with actor Patrick Cavanaugh to get the scoop on Transylmania and to maybe nibble a bit on the other white meat.
Heather Wixson: What can you tell us about your character, Pete?
Patrick Cavanaugh: Well, I consider Pete a lovable loser. He is a typical college dude who would rather drink and get high than go to class. He loves to hang out with his buddy Wang and basically see how much trouble they can get into.
Hw: What was it like working on the set of Transylmania? The trailers look hilarious so I was wondering if you had just as much fun making the movie as it looks like it was to shoot?

It was a dark and stormy night. The phone rang and it was actor Patrick Cavanaugh. After our short chat, I knew something was weird. The lights kept flickering, there was a group of bats fluttering outside my window and he spoke in this strange Romanian accent. I plugged my recorder into my laptop, played back the interview and was aghast to find Patrick.s voice completely replace by this horrendous tone. Vampires can.t be seen in photographs, so the same must be true with voice recordings. Patrick Cavanaugh is a vampire! Okay, he.s not a vampire. My recorder just broke. Thankfully we got to chat a second time and I got to hear all about what it was like poking fun at the vampire craze and the monster movie genre in Transylmania. Patrick is no novice to the film industry, but Transylmania does mark a very monumental...

This is going to be a great month. No matter whether these big and small movies fall flat on their faces or not there’s going to be plenty to choose from – especially for those who want to keep up with important films.
First up is Avatar, one of the biggest gambles of this decade. Will the same kind of crowd that saw The Dark Knight or Transformers multiple times venture to movie theatres to see a 150-minute-long 3-D film that features tall blue creatures? It’s up in the air.
Which reminds me of a few more titles that should be worth checking out, one of them being Jason Reitman’s new film with George Clooney. The drama-comedy about a man who fires people for a living has been getting great buzz from its successful festival runs, with Oscar talk flying around as smoothly as paper airplanes.

This week at the movies, we've got a fractured family (Everybody's Fine, starring Robert De Niro and Drew Barrymore); a sibling rivalry (Brothers, starring Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal); an inside job (Armored, starring Matt Dillon and Laurence Fishburne); and vampire hilarity (Transylmania, starring Patrick Cavanaugh and James DeBello). What do the critics have to say? Sometimes a film contains such good acting that one is willing to overlook its other faults. One example might be Jim Sheridan's Brothers, a film critics say often works despite being frequently overwrought. Robert De Niro has an intensity and presence that shines through...

We brought you an earlier look at a trailer for Full Circle Releasing’s upcoming horror/comedy Transylmania which while funny, wasn’t able to show you everything you might want to see about this movie. Fortunately, we can remedy that problem right now by bringing you this new Redband trailer for the film which is able to show a lot more of the “flavor” you can expect.
In case this is your first experience with Transylmania, it tells the story of a motley group of college students who embark on “the wildest, sexiest, most outrageous semester abroad ever” at Razvan University. Of course, in true horror/comedy style, the campus isn’t located in a plush, beautiful paradise but instead, deep in the heart of Transylvania in a centuries-old castle.
Once the students arrive, all hell breaks loose and they are forced to deal with all manner of strange things like black leather-clad professors,...
