Movie News: Poltergeist is Getting a Reboot



If you've not ready seen a poltergeist movie its about a family that moved from a city to a quiet neighbourhood or so they fought they did, An ancient grave site wasn't removed & a very powerful evil spirit is awakened in a form of a poltergeist & finds an attraction with a young girl carol Ana because of her aura, she then taken from the world of the living to the underworld where it because a fight against evil for the family to get her back from the beast. Now this film spawned 3 film's, poltergeist, poltergeist 2:the other side, poltergeist 3 with the mirrors.

 
 
From what I've read-ed poltergeist reboot Filming will take place in Toronto, and could begin as early as September, if everything with the casting and script go according to plan.Director Gil Kenan has officially started the casting process for his reboot of Poltergeist. Bear in mind the character's in the reboot are being revamped like the Evil dead film, so we looking a different characters playing the role of the family Carol Ana character is being replaced with a young girl called Madison.Recent script by David Lindsay-Abaire follows a family the Bowen when they relocate to a new town to start over after father, Eric, loses his job. Their life is turned upside-down when their daughter, Madison, is kidnapped by the malevolent forces that appear in their new home.
Along with a different family, the rebooted version will feature other brand-new characters, including Carrigan Burke, a colorful TV personality who hosts Haunted House Cleaners, and his ex-wife, Dr. Brooke Powell, a local parapsychologist and professor and Burke’s ex-wife. Her team investigates the disappearance of Madison and the supernatural events that surround her abduction.

 
Sam Raimi, Robert G. Tapert, and Roy Lee are set to produce the reboot, Ive see Sam raimi do some creepy films like the The Grudge, Boogeyman, The Messengers,The Grudge 2Drag Me to HellThe Possession ,Evil Dead reboot so maybe just maybe we could be seeing a more creeper, nasty & darker version of poltergeist, But time will tell on this as it looks like it will be a 2015 or 2016 when we get to see this if filming is starting this September. But what do you think of this being done, do you think that a classic horror film like this needs a reboot or do you think it should be left as it is?.

10 Badass Moments From The New Man Of Steel Trailer


1.Man Of Skulls

Easily the most iconic shot from the latest trailer, the sight of Superman buried in a massive pile of skulls is extremely chilling. Going to go ahead and guess this is the end result of Zod's heat vision.We're picturing a group of humans surrounding Superman to protect him, before suffering the full wrath of the General.

4.Invasion Forces

This trailer fully reveals Zod's plan - to attack the earth until they give up Kal-El.

5.Batter Up
Zod might be a recent visitor to the States, but he appears to have picked up their passion for sport fairly quickly.
 
6.Super Lois

On first watch, this looked to be a shot of Lois Lane suiting up, just like her best friend Pepper Potts in Iron Man 3.However, a closer investigation reveals that she's only wearing the helmet, not the full battle suit. Is she about to take a trip into space? Actually, probably not - because if there's one thing Superman IV taught us, it's that humans don't need helmets in space. We can actually breathe perfectly normally up there. Who knew?this will be interesting to find out why she wearing this.



7.Super Snyder

absolutely love this shot. It's the moment where Snyder pans around Superman as he bursts out of one of Zod's ships.it look like synder has done some fantastic angles with the film to make it look real.



8.Zod Smash

Dc have out done themself again with a spectacular & Brilliant Film.

A lot people when they first heard that a new superman film was coming they were a little sceptical about, there was a lot of hate & comment on weather this was going to be good or not. There was a few comment's from people saying they hope its better than the last one by director Bryan singer superman return which Ive got to say was a disappointment because it could of been done better but still entertaining. Well with this new film every one's pray's have been answered Thank to the Director Zack Snyder & Exclusive producer Chris Nolan & the cast:

Henry Cavill -----------------(Clark Kent / Superman),
Amy Adams -----------------(Lois Lane ) ,
Russell Crowe ---------------(Jor-El)
Michael Shannon ------------(General Zod )
Kevin Costner -----------------(Jonathan Kent )
Diane Lane ----------------------(Martha Kent)
Laurence Fishburne ------------(Perry White)
Christopher Meloni  ------------(Colonel Hardy)
Ayelet Zurer ----------------------(Lara Lor-Van )
Jadin Gould ----------------------- (Lana Lang)
Michael Kelly----------------------( Steve Lombard)
Antje Traue ----------------------- (Faora aka usula)
Tahmoh Penikett --------------------(Henry Ackerdson)
Dylan Sprayberry --------------------(Clark Kent at 13)
Richard Schiff-------------------------( Dr. Emil Hamilton)

They all brought us a film that will live through the age like the former Christopher Reeve R.I.P brought us when he first grace our screen's with superman in 1978. Now we have a film worthy of the tile Superman. The man of steel final trailer Check it out. I knew from this start this film was going to be spectacular they've delivered on their promise I'm a massive fan of superman this is going to be a film of the years I think it will win Oscar's.

The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again

Likes : Ive got to say fast & furious just gets better & better,The team is back & this one is the best by far. They've just upped the action & mayhem in this film to a whole new level, with a twist in the storyline.What i can say is that looking at the end of this film it looked like fast & furious 3: Tokyo drift should of been fast & furious 6 & this film should of been fast & furious 5, because the ending before the credits involves the 3rd film & this fast & furious 6 which is clever because it leave it open for a 7Th film.Your notice a lot of comical moments special some of the Dwayne Johnson moments i laughed my head off but there's a few funny moments with Roman Pearce played by Tyrese Gibson,classic funny moment when he done something nearly took Dominic Toretto head off played by Vin Diesel , the way toretto didn't flinch & just looked at him was just priceless.Luke Evans playing Owen Shaw brilliantly Ive seen Luke Evans in a lot of other films he has this on screen presence which make him a brilliant actor,he was cold & ruthless in this film.Former MMA kick boxer & very gorgeous Gina Carano join the team with the rock she seriously kicks ass in this film but there is a twist in her storyline for the film which i wont say because your have to watch the film,but she is looking gorgeous.Dwayne Johnson man could that guy get any bigger,the guy is built like a brick sh*t house,its no wonder those 3 youths crapped themselves in London trying to break in to one of the studio vans which happen on the day of shooting a scene in England, London,but he was completely awesome in this film, i find him a brilliant actor not a lot of people like him but i think he the only one from the wrestle world to be a successful & brilliant actor because he's film just get better & better,special with the few comical moments he had in this film.Ludacris is just class in this film as well, make funny joke's special taking the piss out of Roman Pearce some side slipping sarcastic jokes.Vin Diesel & Paul Walker were at their best in this film the character relationship as got a lot stronger since Paul walkers character has Toretto grand son with his sister there you can see a good strong family bond between them.Michelle Rodriguez returns as Letty Ortiz which was cleverly put in this film as to why she was still alive which is revieled in this film. Along with a brilliant sound track, fast pace & intense action with car Chase's, tank crushing cars & just all out mayhem this is one film not to be missed special with the ending revealing some thing interesting.

Dislikes : i cant find a fault with this film to be honest because its well balance with comical humour & action.It also depend on the viewer some like this film where other don't,.

Overall : Fast pace action,intense scenes, just all out mayhem this is one film not to be missed,also you need to watch until the end before credits role as there is a scene at the end that reveals something interesting.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment/ 9.5 out of 10 for action & intense moments.

Genre: Disaster horror thriller, Rated R for strong bloody violence including rape, language, drug content and some nudity

Cert: 18 cert

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: The characters think and talk about sex a lot.There's strong innuendo, lots of skimpy clothing, and characters intentionally walking and dancing in "sexy" ways.A woman bends over and reveals a suggestive tattoo on her lower back.A man takes a picture of his genitals with a friend's phone (as a practical joke), and viewers see the photo.Male buttocks are briefly shown during the rape sequences.

Violence & Gore: Brutal rape scenes in which a band of escaped convicts rapes two women.There's lots of blood, people on fire, and people impaled by random objects.If characters aren't crushed, mutilated, or killed in the earthquake or aftershocks, they're shot/murdered by the convicts or by other panicky people.
A man loses his hand.A woman gets her face smashed by a car while climbing out of a manhole.
There's a funicular crash in which women and children die.Brief fighting and punching.


Profanity: Language isn't constant but does contain several uses of fuck as well as shit and hell.
Some swear words appear in subtitles (spoken in Spanish), and others are spoken in English.
Name calling (bitch and cock.)

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Characters spend the movie's first third partying in clubs; they occasionally overindulge with drinks, but it's mostly social drinking.Some characters are seen smoking.A woman is supposed to be looking after her sister, preventing her from drinking, but the sister gets drunk anyway.The characters also attend a wine tasting

Frightening/Intense Scenes: Lots of gratuitous gore.Severed hands.People getting impaled with random objects.People on fire and/or being crushed.Truly brutal rape scenes Lots of gratuitous gore.Severed hands.People getting impaled with random objects.People on fire and/or being crushed.Truly brutal rape scenes

Story: After an earthquake erupts in Chile, tourist discover that a neighboring prison in the area collapsed in the event, and all surviving criminals managed to break free. Soon they learn that the most terrifying thing, more threatening that Mother Nature, is what she created.

Likes : OK right of the bat this film is slow to start,you get a few club scenes,group partying hard a group of friend all enjoy them self.Then the earthquake begins thing start to get messy & brutal,i have to a mite it was good in places, i didn't like the brutal rape scene's that was evil, See the film is described as a horror thriller but it more of a disaster thriller than a horror to be honest.There's no manger stars in this film, well not known ones any way as its not a Hollywood film, hanse the reason why it a DVD realise not cinema, it was ok not the best film, Ive seen worst, but very brutal.There is no shortness of blood in this film so if you do watch it be prepared for a lot of that as there is a lot of scene of people being crushed, limps being impaled & people get shot, be warned also as i said there is a few brutal rape scene which involves the girls with the friends which are pretty nasty scene, i would say this film is pretty much a average film as Ive seen lot of these type of films before.

Dislikes : The one little thing about this film is the fact it was to slow to start with at the beginning, thing didn't start to happen until almost an hour in to the film which makes this type a film a failure in that part, the other fact is that it was so predictable, even the ending was predictable because i saw it coming because of the nature of the way the film was going.

Overall : An average film,nothing special,good effect,lot of blood & brutal scene altho predictable

Rating: 3.1 out of 5 for entertainment / 3.7 out of 10 for horror/disaster/thriller theme.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Warm Bodies (2013) DVD Realise

Genre: Comedy Horror Romance , warning Dose contain some pretty intense creepy scenes

Cert: it was given a 12A (13 cert), but i would say its a straight 15 cert just due to some scene mite be a little creepy & frighting to a 13 year old, not quiet a 18 because of the comedy side which balance's the horror in the film.

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity:
An elderly zombie woman wears a long, V-neck dress that reveals cleavage.
Some human characters wear shorts and tank tops, rarely revealing cleavage.
Sitting on the edge of a bed at night with her back to the camera, a woman removes her sweater and jeans and we briefly see her wearing a bra and panties (most of her bare back is seen as she slides under the covers).
Numerous scenes of kissing.
A man (zombie) takes a shower, partial nudity is seen.

Violence & Gore: A dozen zombies limp into a city and attack several men and women, knock them down and eat them with ripping sounds as we see blood in the zombies' mouths; a zombie bites a dead man in the throat and another in the forearm and we see blood flow until a woman with a rifle shoots three zombies several times and destroys them (no blood).A zombie tears flesh from his own face (only black soot is left and he has no blood). In several scenes, one zombie eats pieces of brain from a bag (the brain looks like a gray sponge); the last time he eats it, he spits it out and we see it splatter over his face and his chair.A skeleton eats a dead human on a fire escape landing and we see some blood around the human's throat; as the camera pans down, we hear ripping noises at street level and we see a hand fall onto a dumpster.Four scenes feature soldiers firing at zombies and skeleton creatures and many of the paranormal "people" fall, destroyed, but without blood; one skeleton creature convulses slightly before he becomes totally inanimate.We hear that a general's wife turned into a zombie and he shot her in the head.

Profanity: 1 F-word, 4 scatological terms, 4 mild obscenities, 6 religious profanities, 9 religious exclamations.
Stereotypical references to zombies, racial prejudice, end of the world disasters, military leaders, soldiers, conservatives, men, women, parents, families, the unemployed.
Name-calling (crazy, weird, creepy, paranoid, lover boy, corpse, hoarder.)

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Volunteer soldiers take small boxes of pills and supplies from a medical or pharmacy stock room.A woman tosses a box of Prozac to a man and a woman and tells them it will cheer them up (no one swallows any drugs).Two men and a woman drink wine, a woman drinks a bottle of beer in an abandoned plane.Two zombies sit at an old airport bar and we see broken wine and cocktail glasses covering the bar top.Two male zombies appear to become intoxicated after eating human brains and as they eat (we see blurring dream sequences of pleasant thoughts extend out of their heads to fill the screen.)
We see several empty beer cans on a ledge.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some zombies could be frightening to some.A few jump scenes.
The skeletal zombies known as bonies may scare some younger viewers.
Some scenes of zombies attacking and eating humans are intense.

Story: With much of the world's population now an undead horde, R is a young and introspective zombie. While fighting with and feeding on a human scavenger party, R meets Julie and feels an urge to protect her. What happens next is the beginning of a strangely warm relationship that allows R to begin regaining his humanity. As this change spreads through the local undead population like a virus, Julie and R eventually have to face a larger issue when the very nature of their friendship is challenged. Caught between the paranoid human forces and the ferocious "Bonies", zombies who are a mutual threat, R and Julie must find a way common bond bridge the differences each sides must overcome so that they all fight for a better world no one thought possible.

Likes : This wasnt a bad film if your in to the whole rom-com type film,its pretty clever how this film work with comedy & horror at the same time.Through out the film you notice that it becomes like a romance film comedy than a horror,with a few funny moments with a heart warming style.The thing that dose creepy me out is the zombie they call bonies,their not quiet skeletons but there zombies where the skin has been taken ripped off or fallen off their just skin & bone but very fast & creepy looking.The whole concept of this film is about zombies but its from a zombie point of view which revoles around the character called R played by Nicholas Hoult, he dosent know how he died but he knows he dead ya kind of strange when you think about it because he dead how can he be thinking.That is whats clever about this film it set a tone for the rest of the film as he meet & falls in love witha living girl Julie played by the beautiful Teresa Palmer who finds her self wondering why a zombie is talking to her & saved her life which sounds odd i know because that the whole storyline for the rest of the film,as it draw you in to keep watching to find out whats going on.As a horror teen comedy this wasnt a bad film to watch,altho alot of people will say this film was bad & not worth watching, i would say its still entertaining to watch for a quiet heart warming horror comedy yes i said heart warming to a horror comedy that one thing you dont hear me say that offen.

Dislikes : Nothing really wrong with this film to be honest but it not a brillaint film but a good one

Overall : if you like heart warming film,comedys & horror mix together your like this film,its all down to what you like real its a love or hate film.

Rating: 4.2 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.5 out of 10 for comedy/horror/romance concept

Cert: This was given a 12a, i would say this should of been a 15 cert due to the level of volence.

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: A scene with kirk is in bed with twin asume theyve just had sex,brief scene of a woman in her under wear.

Violence & Gore: There are a few scene's of fighting,people getting shot,one man being shot in half.
refrence Threat of someone walking over a cold dead corpse.Building being blowup with people screaming,people being stuck into space.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: One scene in a bar drink alcohol .

Frightening/Intense Scenes: A few scene's of battle,ship being blown apart seeing people being stuck in to space.

Story: In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

Likes : Ive got a say J.J Abhams know how to bring a space opera to light with some fantastic cinema visaul special effect's on the big screen.There is a slight twist in the storyline from the original second film as with the character of khan played brilliantly by Benedict Cumberbatch,Khan Noonien Singh is a villain in the fictional Star Trek universe. The character first appeared in the original Star Trek series episode "Space Seed", and then in the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In both cases he was played by Ricardo Montalbán, aged 46 in the original series and 61 in the film. He is generally referred to simply as Khan.In "Space Seed", Khan was one of a group of genetically engineered "supermen", a tyrant who was defeated in the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s. These supermen had been bred to be free of either mental or physical defects. Khan had been both the most successful and the most benign of the group, ruling western Asia until he was deposed.Benedict Cumberbatch brought a very cold heart & ruthless evil concept to this role it really showed conviction with he's quote's & threats he made,special the scene with the Klingon's now klingon are surpose to be warriors train in fighting but khan just riped throw them like a knife though butter with a scratch which show how superior khan character is in every way which brough this film its edge.Simon Pegg is just brillant as scotty he got the funny scarcastic humour that real brings out the character more in this version of star trex,Alot of the original actor returned as well,Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Zoe Saldana as Nyota Uhura, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Karl Urban as Bones, Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov,John Cho as Hikaru Sulu,Leonard Nimoy (cameo) Spock Prime, Bruce Greenwood as Christopher Pike, Alice Eve (new actress to the film)Dr. Carol Marcus & Peter Weller as Admiral Marcus bring a well made storyline to a some what intense film.This film will take you on an adventure of a rollercaoster of emotion as this storyline is more personal for kirks character,along with some funny scarcastic humour & wit,aong with some intense nai biting moments this film delivers a well rounded entertaining film.

Dislikes : I was expecting a bit more of a fight with khan's character,specially with the new ship they added with advance weapons & speed i would of expected a good climatic battle ending with the enterprise & the new ship with a head to head battle scene with kirk vs khan but it was a bit of a dispointing ending to be honest but still an entertaining film.

Overall :Good storyline,Great battle scene,Fantastic visual & special effect,a well rounded film.

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.8 out of 10 for visual & special effect/concept

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Dead Man Down

Genre: Action Crime Thriller

Cert: 15 CERT /18 CERT

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: Brief scene of a woman underdressing in the mirror. Couple having sex

Violence & Gore: Few scene of gun fire scene,man being shot in the head, man being hung from a street window.man on fire burning to death.

Profanity: moderate to strong language used Through out the film.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: a scenes where you see drugs being packed,few scenes of people smoking & drink alcohol.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: Just seeing a man on fire & the fire fight of gun fire.

Story: Niels Arden Oplev, the acclaimed director of the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, makes his American theatrical debut with the new action thriller, DEAD MAN DOWN. Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace star as two strangers who are irresistibly drawn to one another by their mutual desire for revenge. The film co-stars Academy Award (R) nominee Terrence Howard and Dominic Cooper, from a screenplay by J.H.Wyman (Fringe).Victor, a rising gangland player, has infiltrated the crime empire run by ruthless kingpin Alphonse, with the single purpose of making Alphonse pay for destroying his once happy life. As he meticulously orchestrates his vengeance from his high-rise home, Victor watches and is watched by Beatrice, a mysterious young woman who lives in the apartment across from his. On the surface a fragile woman-child, Beatrice seethes with a rage of her own. When she uncovers Victor's dark secrets, she threatens to expose him unless he helps her carry out her own campaign of retribution. Each fixated on avenging the past, they devise a violent and cathartic plan that could change their worlds forever.

Likes : This wasn't a bad film for Colin Farrell who plays Victor, a man on the edge for revenge for the death of his family, it really showed when he spoken about them you could serious feel the pain & anger,this is what makes Colin Farrell a list actor because he real throws him self in to this role.There is no measure of pain than losing someone you love special your family to a bunch of murdering gangster that what control of something.Noomi Rapace plays Beatrice a woman scared from a car crash from a drug man who only got 3 weeks for the drunk accident.She play this part real well,her part in this film was kind of one to mend victor heart & to make him see that he still alive & able to love again which was brilliantly portrayed in the film.Terrence Howard play the mob boss Alphonse who order the killing of victor family, he play this part pretty well, he had this nasty vicious cold heart pull the trigger without thinking type of guy which really show as well in this film.The whole storyline was clever because it use a concept like the punisher film destroy the enemy from with in whic victor cleverly dose,im not usual one for thriller type films but this was a good thriller film with a good storyline & back story of revenge.

Dislikes : Tho this film was good the only think that kinds of lets it down is there is hardly any action scene to keep it entertaining it was a little to slow through the film,you find yourself slighlty get board but it dose have its moment but it not bad for a revenge thriller.

Overall : Dont expect an all action Thriller because its lack in action,good back story & concept, Not a bad thriller to watch.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for concept / 7.8 out of 10 for thriller concept / backstory
