PULSE

Strangely enough, just the other day I was wondering if Kristen Bell was in any 2006 movies. Now I know the answer. "Pulse", the second horror movie with a hottie I have heard about in as many days. Here is the plot synopsis (taken from blackfilms)

Synopsis: Based on the Japanese horror movie "Kairo," "Pulse" centers on a group of college students who discover that a computer hacker friend of theirs unwittingly pirated a strange wireless signal that opened a doorway for a terrifying evil to cross over into the world. As it spreads, everyone in its path is consumed, and the students must race to find a way to stop it.

Is it just me or do the Japanese only make horror movies about scary objects. Dont Japenese filmmakers know what a scary monster is? Ghost and Demons are freaky but I want my ZOMBIES. Blackfilms also has the trailer up, so check that out

When A Stranger Calls

A remake of the 70s horror film "When A Stranger Calls" has been made. I never saw the original but it looks to me like this is based on the urban legend about the babysitter who gets a call that the police trace to..... the HOUSE SHE IS IN!!! Sorry if I spoiled the story there, but the trailer also spoils it. The villain in the trailer is also comedic because he uses jazz hands several times in the trailer. The films star Camilla Belle appears to have starred in a bunch of movies I have never heard of (her imdb page) (notice that she was once on "Walker Texas Ranger"

Link to Trailer

Special note: Here is snopes.coms version of the legend mentioned above, and it says that "when a stranger calls" is based on this legend. Urban Legends Ahoy

LOTR MARATHON

I just found this out. This makes my day, possibly even my month. This will definently be a great way to start the year. I am stealing the press realease from the pulse blog.


A dream come true! A LOTR trilogy marathon, hosted by one of the most beautiful theaters in town, the legendary Riverview. For many of us who can’t get enough of Peter Jackson’s magic with cinematography and the achingly beautiful drama of one of the best stories of all time, this is not to be missed. The schedule is as follows: “The Fellowship of the Ring” at 11 a.m.; “The Two Towers” at 2:45 and “The Return of the King” at 7 p.m. Costumes are encouraged and there will be a costume contest. There will also be a “swap meet” at the theater. for trading items between screenings. For this special event, the Riverview is offering breakfast items. Kitty corner from the Riverview is the Riverview Wine Bar, an exquisitely cozy place to dash off for a nice glass of wine and LOTR talk during breaks. Advanced tickets are available at the Riverview. 11 a.m. $6/$7. 3800 42nd Ave. S., Mpls. RiverviewTheater.com. 612-729-7369. Cyn Collins


Okay I am definently going to be there!!!! Hope to see everyone there. This is going to be awesome. Tomorrow I am going to call and ask if its the Extended Editions, so stick around to find out

ONLINE FILM FESTIVALS

Not much movie news to report today, so I thought I would link to one of my favorite sites about film, FilmFights! This film festival has a theme for everyone of its contest such as "make a musical with three songs that is under ten minutes long" Some of the contest are really specific, some are incredibly general. As the main page states "you have got something to prove" many of the filmmakers on the site battle in every single one of the contest for the win. I check back quite often because sometimes they get some great stuff. Anyway, if your bored, check it out! FilmFights!

Entertainment Weeklys Year end poll

The poll on entertainmentweekly.com concerning audiences oppinion on books, music, and most importantly, films. Concedering that this is an audience based poll, not a critics poll the films in the running were not highbrow(The Wedding Crashers got 5th) but they sure were entertaining. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire SMASHED the competition in both the new book and new movie categorys, with Batman Begins coming in second in the movie category. The only thing that was especially surprising is that Fiona Apples "Extraodinary Machines" won best new cd. I have only heard the title track from that cd and I must say it was alright, but considering that this is an audienc poll, it is really rather shocking to see this beat out a more popular album like "Late Registration" by Kanye West.

WATCHMEN

IGN FilmForce has an article about the adaptation of the comic book "Watchmen" to film. Apparently considered dead in the water all summer after it was shelved from production just weeks before filming began, Warner Brothers Pictures has now picked up the script. IGN's explanantion is that "V For Vendetta" has been getting great reviews and Warner Brothers wants to have "Watchmen" on hand in case "V for Vendetta" is a smash hit. "Vendetta" and "Watchmen" are two comics books by Allen Moore and "Watchmen" is another film in the gritty style that Warners has been using on its comic book adaptations. Personally, I have not read this comic book yet so I am not super pumped for it. Check out FilmForces original article
