If you like having your horror mixed in with your comedy, Make sure to check out “Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil.” which is now available on Magnolia On-Demand. The film will also play in select theaters September 30. Below this post are several clips from the film, called “Run For Your Lives,” “I Told You Boys” and a five-minute behind-the-scenes featurette. The synopsis of the film, according to the press release, is: “Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil” is a hilariously gory, good-spirited horror comedy, doing for killer rednecks what “Shaun of the Dead” did for zombies.

Title: Blackthorn Directed By: Mateo Gil Written By: Miguel Barros Cast: Sam Shepard, Eduardo Noriega, Stephen Rea, Magaly Solier, Nicolak Coster-Waldau, Padraic Delaney, Dominique McElligott Screened at: Broadway, NYC, 8/24/11 Opens: October 7, 2011, On Demand September 2, 2011 One of the more fascinating guesses that historians are wont to pursue is wondering whether certain famous or notorious people are still alive, though presumed dead. When I started teaching high-school history, the question was: “My grandmother says that Hitler is still alive. Is that true?” Not wanting to cause grandparent-teacher problems, I suggested that since the body had not been necessarily found, anything is possible. Now that Hitler is 112…

Title: The Family Tree Director: Vivi Friedman (TV’s ‘Team Suomi’) Starring: Dermot Muloney, Hope Davis, Max Thieriot (‘My Soul to Take’), Brittany Robertson (TV’s ‘Life Unexpected’) People often wish they can re-set their lives to not only become happier, but to also get along better with their loved ones from whom they’ve become disconnected. This is one of the important life lessons presented in the new comedy-drama ‘The Family Tree,’ which presents a satirical view on a seemingly happy suburban American family, the Burnetts. While the Burnetts have what appears to be the perfect lifestyle, they’re really dealing with such serious issues as intolerance, infidelity, drugs and stereotypes, issues that…

The minds behind the Texas football series ‘Friday Night Lights’ have plans to reunite. According to Variety, Peter Berg and Sarah Aubrey, both executive producers from the drama series, and co-executive producer Liz Heldens, are all teaming up once again to work on a new western series for the NBC Network and Universal Media Studios. The show would reportedly be told through a female point of view, and is much in need since westerns in TV Land are few and far between. Excited about the trio penning a script, NBC’s chairman of entertainment, Robert Greenblatt “is said to be keen on trying to revive the genre if the right project…

Title: Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy Director: Christopher Sun Starring: Hiro Hayama, Leni Lan, Saori Hara, Yukiko Suho, Vonnie Lui, Tony Ho A hit in its native Hong Kong, and sure to be trimmed heavily or banned outright in mainland China, “Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy” is getting a boutique release across the rest of the world, including major metropolitan areas of the United States. And why not, really? Screening in both 3-D and 2-D, the slickly produced film is a lurid, wild and weird attempt to reboot the 1990s’ “Sex and Zen” softcore franchise, in which outlandish sex and borderline gnarly-cartoonish violence were commingled. The end product lives up to…

She discovers the boy living at the slaughterhouse down the road and attempts to rescue him from his insane mentor. Martin apparently has a disorder where he doesn’t…

Having read “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” I know that Hunter S. Thompson is a bit wacky. Well, “wacky” is an understatement. So if “The Rum Diary” is anything like “Fear and Loathing,” then the movie adaptation of “The Rum Diary” is going to be crazy! The film adaptation was developed by Johnny Depp, Thompson’s friend, as well as Depp’s production company Infinitum Nihil. The book, set in the 1950s, written in the 1960s, but published in 1998, is about a journalist who moves from New York at a newspaper in Puerto Rico. The book reflects Thompson’s own life because he went to Puerto Rico from New York to…
