Coming Soon: a haunted house

"Sinister"

from Summit Entertainment

Ethan Hawke plays a novelist looking to write a great novel. He and his family can't afford to keep their old house, and so they move into another, cheaper one... one with a bloody history. Things go downhill. The trailer looks good, and so it's here. It piqued my interest, as it features Ethan Hawke and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Big things have small beginnings that make for big films.

"Prometheus" (2012)

It took thirty-three years for it to show up, a prequel to "Alien" or at least something to give a shot at explaining the background. It's Ridley Scott's instead of someone else's, which means the likelihood of real quality is much higher than average. I'm looking forward to seeing this one.

Trailers, anyone?

I find trailers all over the place, and so it's time to start sharing. There are, of course, no guarantees on the full movies, but if the trailers look cool they'll get posted. And it starts with...

 "FDR: American Badass" (2011)

Barry Bostwick, Ray Wise, Bruce McGill, Lin Shaye, and Kevin Sorbo... and werewolves? Okay. I will watch this one for fun based on this cast list alone.

Thank you, Blogger app for Droid...

... for losing/eating the Thursday List.

 

It will be rewritten today.

Apologies for the inconvenience, folks.

Coming soon... (as in tomorrow)

A review of "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" and a two-day-late edition of The Thursday List.

(I am still recovering from Thanksgiving weekend. I love Chicago.)

Coming soon...

I will be traveling much of this next week and will not be posting Thursday through Monday. So next week's Thursday List will be The Tuesday List, and I aim to get a bona fide review of a film up this weekend.

Also, I am pondering expanding the scope of this blog, possibly to include articles on directors, actors, studios, writers, and film history. I won't make the decision until the start of 2012, but I thought I'd mention it, in case any readers had any thoughts, comments, or suggestions.

That's it for now. See you this weekend.
