Whether it be the continuation of an old favorite television series, the premiere of a new hit show or the release of a touching film, this edition of ShockYa’s latest mini-series will remind movie and TV…

Top Five Things Joe Belcastro is Thankful for in 2011

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

With Turkey day upon us, one of our talented writers (Melissa Molina) came up with an idea to have the ShockYa scribes come up with a list that represents what they were thankful for in the realm of cinema and/or television this year. A lot has happened so allow me to drop in my humble thoughts (a.k.a poor attempts at humor) that had me rejoicing: A Decent Year For Remakes -Which means for yours truly: “Fright Night,” “Straw Dogs,” and “Footloose” did not draw out my writing rage. Those were the ones I had a particular interest in; and with regards to Fright Night and Footloose – they respectfully topped…

Top Five Things Melissa's Thankful For In 2011

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Although most people tend to categorize Thanksgiving as that one day where we can shamelessly stuff our faces with turkey, casserole and cranberry sauce. Make sure you take a pause and share your thanks with others prior to cramming food down your throat. After all, that’s why they call it Thanksgiving. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, several of the writers here at ShockYa.com, myself included, conjured up a list of the top five things in film and television, or that may be happening to something in either sector, that we’re thankful for. Now let’s get to it. I’m Thankful For The Muppets Being Back In Theaters If you’ve been…

Well the promise of a sequel has finally come true. It was only just a matter of time. Now, Deadline is reporting that the new “Star Trek” film will have a release date of May 17th 2013. That’s right! In only a year and a half from now, we’ll be sitting in a movie theater watching the sequel to the widely popular re-boot/re-launch of the “Star Trek” franchise. And not only will we be sitting in a movie theater, we’ll be wearing 3D glasses, ready to enjoy the movie. Along with the release date, an announcement of the sequel being released in 3D, which seems like a common practice these…

African Cats

DVD Review: African Cats, Monte Carlo, Wrong Turn 4 and Thankskilling

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

In a business that frequently has the tendency to disproportionately celebrate the contributions only of above-the-line talent, a big part of the allure of something like “African Cats” lies in its below-the-line artisans. An engaging, gorgeously photographed nature documentary that puts audiences on Kenyan plains in stunning fashion amidst its title subjects, this Disneynature title only stumbles in its willful insistence on imposing a family-friendly narrative on footage that is more than capable on its own, with less artificial constraints. What does that mean, straight to the point? Less, or none, of Samuel L. Jackson’s narration, dripping as it is with exaggerated tones that needlessly attempt to dictate mood. Granted, he’s given…

Pan Am Thanksgiving

Top Five Things Monique's Thankful For In 2011

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

There are several things to be thankful for this entertainment season, but here are the five that I’m the most thankful for. 1. “Pan Am” bringing back the glamor of the Golden Age of Flying: Yes, the show might be on its last leg (I’m still a fan, though), but the show has done something similar to that seminal “rewind-to-the-1960s” show, “Mad Men”–it brought back vintage fashion. In “Pan Am”‘s case, the classic handbag and carry-ons that the stewardesses carry have been snatched up by everyone, so much so that the official Pan Am site was, at one point, sold out. 2. The Muppets coming back!: I’ve always been a…
