What may seem to be the death of Its Bloggin’ Evil is not true. Yes, I have been away for awhile…away from my keyboard. Work and life has swallowed me whole at the moment, but I still have plenty to review and to write about (literally, right now I’m about to watch Odeon Entertainment’s Blu-ray region free version of Witchfinder General with Vincent Price…review to come).
In summary, I just wanted to say…I’m still ALIVE!
The Big Lebowski and True Grit star Jeff Bridges has been confirmed for a buddy cop undead comedy called R.I.P.D. which stands for Rest In Peace Department. The Academy Award winning actor joins along side Ryan Reynolds in this Universal Studios film about two dead cops, one recently dead and the other a long time dead gunslinger, make their routine round on trying to keep the dead quiet. Sounds a bit like Dead Heat, doesn’t it?

Closely have I been following this project called Shark Night 3D. It went through many name changes until it just landed the very simple, generic, yet to the point title you see today. David R. Ellis (The Final Destination, Final Destination 2 and Snakes on a Plane) helms the killer shark flick and I’m very okay with that. However, these are not the reasons why I absolutely been glued to every piece of news about Shark Night 3D! I’m obsessed with these creatures of the sea; my obsession is more like a love for sharks.
In 1976, Brian DePalma directed Sissy Spacek and John Travolta in Carrie which is about a young high school girl who is constantly tormented by her peers. Carrie discovers she has telekinetic powers and uses them gruesomely against her tormenters, and the rest of the school, when they play a disgusting prank on her at prom involving pig blood. The film was a major hit for not only DePalma, but it damn well jump started the careers of Spacek and Travolta.
Now there is talk of a remake being composed by MGM and Song Screen Gems (Resident Evil franchise) who want to have a fresh take on the Stephen King novel. This retake is being penned by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa who had wrote the stage play Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark. Aguirre-Sacasa was brought in to write a more novel faithful version of Carrie.
Here’s hoping for the best.
If you’ve ever been unfortunate to see that piece of shit Vince D’Amato 2004 film Vampires vs Zombies (also called Carmilla, the Lesbian Vampire), a fear has probably dug deep with in the core of you’re very soul urging you to never, ever watch another indie horror project again for the rest of your mundane life. No fear fiends! Lets split up vampires and zombies and add ninjas instead! First, there was Ninjas vs Zombies; a sleek, funny and fresh clash of two factions that never saw the light of day against each other. Director and writer Justin Timpane does a great job with the martial art choreographic and special effects that will put your faith back into indie horror. The subject of this review is Timpane’s sequel to Ninjas vs Zombies; Ninjas vs Vampires was with out a doubt the next logical title for his 2008 versus movie.
