Following the theatrical release of Kelly’s freshman effort – which [...]

Much ink has been spent debating the merits of a Straw Dogs remake and whatever director Rod Lurie pulls out of the bag, this film and the original are likely to continue to court controversy. Although Lurie continues to hold his cards close to his chest regarding the centre-piece of the film and how it [...]
Until we see Rod Lurie’s updating of Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs it is perhps unfair to hurl it towards the Pointless Remake bin and yet it is a brave move with the 1971 film still as powerful and complex ever. Perhaps sensing the relatively simple and timeless horror of the story Screen Gems are serving [...]

Sam Peckinpah’s original Straw Dogs was one of a slew of controversy-baiting films from the late 70′s and early 80′s. Along with A Clockwork Orange, The Hills Have Eyes, Last House On The Left and I Spit On Your Grave, it attracted masses of attention, not all of it positive. Although it is a little [...]

In a smart move, the folks at Universal found a way to incorporate both major holidays into one cheerful little poster for the upcoming film, HOP. While it was news to me that the Easter Bunny loves rocking out on the drums, [...]
