You know you’re in trouble with a direct to DVD movie when the writer has a resume whose titles are made up of over 50% direct to DVD sequels to films that a) didn’t deserve a sequel or, even worse, b) didn’t need a sequel. Yes, from the pen of Michael Weiss – who has written such lauded films as Octopus 2, I Always Know What You Did Last Summer, The Butterfly Effect 2 and Hostel III – comes The Scorpion King 4. A film that is, given just how truly terrible the last film was (a shock given the great Dtv credits of its director Roel Reine), truly unexpected… After all, when all you...

After the Academy’s attempt at honoring genre during the live show, we saw a real tribute to horror by someone who is truly one of our own. Bob Murawski thanked Sam Raimi for giving him his “first cutting job” in Army of Darkness. His Best Editing award for Hurt Locker was shared by his partner Chris Innis, whom he met on the Raimi produced TV show “American Gothic.”
I gotta say, never since Peter Jackson’s (who was nominated this year for District 9) thank you to the crew of Meet the Feebles has there been such an excellent genre shout out.
On top of working with Raimi for over a decade, Murawski also runs Grindhouse Releasing, which distributes and restores cult and horror films with a focus on extreme Italian cinema. Pieces, The Beyond, Cannibal Holocaust, and I Drink Your Blood are just a few names you’ll find in Grindhouse Releasing's catalogue.

Just when you thought Cuba Gooding Jr.'s post-Oscar career couldn't possibly get any more unintentionally laughable, along comes The Last Warrior. Production Weekly says it's a post-apocalyptic film set in a war-ravaged, disease ridden future where a genetically altered soldier escapes, goes on the run, and lays waste to everything in his path. And guess what? Cuba Good Jr. is starring in it. No word yet on whether Cuba will play the aforementioned genetically altered soldier, but if he does it will no doubt be his best performance since Radio. In the movie along with him is Olivier Martinez, and according to IMDb maybe even Spanish beauty Paz Vega. It's being written and directed by John Eyres, the mind behind such films as Irish Jam, Octopus, and the Shadowchaser series. It's being produced on a budget of $15 million by Hannibal Pictures. What I'm getting at here is that this...
