Die Hard came out thirty-five years ago and we’re still seeing a steady stream of knock-offs rip-offs and cash-ins arriving. Case in point, Mercy, which like last year’s Assault on Va-33 puts a hospital under siege. Can the filmmakers deliver an entertaining action film, or is this, like so many other similar films, Doa?
While serving in Afghanistan Dr. Michelle Miller had her husband turn up as a patient in her field hospital, worse he had a bomb strapped to him. This leads to an agonized, and agonizing, exchange of dialogue “Get out Michelle, somebody’s got to be there for Bobby!” “No, I’m not leaving you!” followed by Frank rolling off the table so his detonation somehow doesn’t kill her.

"Can anyone please tell me where my son is being kept?" Paramount has unveiled an official trailer a crime thriller titled Mercy, the latest film from a Vancouver-based filmmaker named Tony Dean Smith. This will be out in theaters along with a digital debut in May not long from now. Leah Gibson stars with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Jon Voight in this action thriller.

Also featuring Sebastien Roberts,...

Two teenage boys, out for a good time in Tijuana, come across the box that summons Pinhead and his minions.
Cheap sequel meant to cash in on the popularity of the Hellraiser series. Being honest, Stephan Smith Collins is no Doug Bradley. Collins lacks the powerful presence that Bradley exuded in the role of Pinhead. Plot elements dealing with the Cenobites lack the pizazz or finesse of earlier entries. And the story involving a group of adults crying over their missing children is, well, dull. However, the story involving two teenage kids (Nick Eversman, Jay Gillespie) and how they get involved with the box is pretty interesting. In fact that is the best part about Hellraiser: Revelations.

The ninth film in the Hellraiser film series is set to move to DVD shelves October 18th and now the first trailer for this feature is available. Actor Doug Bradley has played Pinhead, the central antagonist, in the previous eight films, but he declined to participate in this latest film, titled Hellraiser: Revelations, after reading the script (Bradley). The short shoot time of two weeks also signals a possible rush to complete the film by Puzzlebox Films, which has no other titles attached to its name. Horror fans and Hellraiser fans can take a look at the clip here, which involves a late night at a bar, a bum, a box, and a bumbling line or two.
As well, Dimension Extreme will distribute this title. Other films released from this American film distributor include several sequels such as Feast II: Sloppy Seconds, Feast III: The Happy Finish, Pulse 2: Afterlife,...

Dimension Extreme continues to flirt with disaster in their latest release Hellraiser: Revelations. This is the ninth Hellraiser film and the first to not have actor Doug Bradley in the lead role of Pinhead. All nine films are based on Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart. Early reviews on this latest film have not been kind, with the Foy Wonder at Dread Central calling this film "rushed" and giving the film 0 out of 5 knives. So, this article is more of a warning than an endorsement. More details on the release are below.
The synopsis for Hellraiser: Revelations is here:
"Two friends in Mexico discover the Lament Configuration and unleash Pinhead, but one decides to try to survive by swapping himself with someone else. Once they go missing, family members go in search of them but find Pinhead instead" (Dread).
Release Date: October 18, 2011 (DVD, Blu-Ray).
Director: Victor Garcia.
Writer: Gary J. Tunnicliffe.

Two days ago, it was revealed that production began on the second season of the Canadian TV series The Listener. Now, Shaftesbury Films, the production company behind the show, has revealed new details about what viewers should expect about The Listener's second season. In a nutshell, expect to see new characters and new things for the leading characters to deal with.
The new faces joining the regular cast will be Lauren Lee Smith (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Tara Spencer Nairn (Corner Gas) and Sebastien Roberts (Canada Russia ‘72).
In the second season of The Listener, Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik), a paramedic from Toronto, has kept his habit of getting his nose in criminal investigations when he's not on the job with his partner Oz Bey (Ennis Esmer). This leads Toby to get into a case investigated by Integrated Investigations Bureau (Iib) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Rcmp), Canada's federal police.
