Pontypool (2009)

I thought the first hour of this movie was great. Stephen McHattie (WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY’S BABY, 300) portrays grizzled radio host Grant Mazzy. He works at a small station in the town of Pontypool, Ontario. The only other people there is a technician and his female producer, Sydney, who he butts heads with.

That particular morning there is a heavy snowstorm and they think their main job will be to report the various school closings. However, they soon start getting reports of people having seizures and attacking people. They get a particularly chilling commentary by their weatherman who witnesses a crowd of these crazed people and a building exploding. He takes cover in a grain silo and reports what he sees– until he starts acting strange. It’s some kind of virus. This virus is spread by the English language and certain words trigger it. The technician becomes infected and Grant and Sydney lock themselves in the sound booth while she bashes her head against the glass. A doctor breaks into the station and he explains to them what is happening.

Then they figure that the only way to keep from getting the virus is to switch the meanings of words around. At this point the movie kind of lost me as I just couldn’t buy this virus being spread through the airwaves scenario. Yes, this is yet another variation on the pseudo-zombie scenario but it doesn’t quite work well enough.

FlashForward review

I guess you all know or at least have heard of the new ABC show FlashForward, well I recently watched the pilot episode – and its amazing!

I think that this will fill the whole left by LOST when that finishes next year, FlashForward is the next Sci-fi television show that will take the internet by storm. Although this is nothing like LOST, fans will will see a slight resemblance as both shows focus around an ‘event’ one being a plane crash on an island and the other being everyone on the planet being unconscious for 2 minutes and 17 seconds amd having a flash of there life 6 months in the future.

The first episode gave us an insight into the main characters and their FlashForward – with some being normal and others being very interesting. To be honest the first episode wasn’t all that great, but the story and actual depiction was good.

If you have any questions about the show then visit FlashForward Forum.

As we all know being a fan of horror movies or any movies that is can be very expensive, millions of dollars go into making movies and we the fans get hit with the bill, which I agree with as we enjoy the movies but in times like these with a full blown recession and everyone trying to save money left right and centre we have a few ways to find DVD and Movies Deals throughout the internet. Usually people will wait months to see the price go down a bit, but why not just find a site that gives you great prices or coupons? Well, to be honest most people don’t want to spend time looking for DVD deals across the internet but a simple search will usually find what you require!

So next time you see a movie priced $25 just have a look around the net to find it cheaper by maybe even 50%

MGM have released a date for the remake of Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist, November 24, 2010.

Poltergeist is about a home which was built on top of an ancient indian burial ground and therefore has paranormal activity happening. The original was actually rather good, being produced by Steven Spielberg so it was meant to be good!

Paranormal activity seems to be hitting the cinemas alot lately, but if you have any interest in haunted houses then shoot across to this site here: http://www.hauntedplacesinamerica.com – Just hope that your house doesn’t appear on the site!

Your New Freddy Krueger

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:48:30 +0000

We have waited months to see what the new Freddy Krueger looks like and to be honest, we have to wait a little while longer. The pictures released by Bloody-Disgusting are not in the best light, the typical Nightmare On Elm Street scene… Dark!

We are hoping that because the movie is in post production now that there will be a sneak preview trailer released, but as of yet we have heard nothing.

If you have anything you want to add to this then feel free to leave a comment.
