Weekly Update! Oct.2nd/09

Brains Brains Brains . . . Zombies have been taking over lately, what seems like a sudden influx in the undead could possibly be attributed to the universe trying to balance out all the Vamp stuff running rampant these days. Wednesday night at the Plaza showcased the epic Nazi Zombie movie
Dead Snow ! I found out they will be replaying it through out October so we all have a chance to check that good one out later. Fear not! For if you couldn't catch your zombie fill from that you can catch it with the fantastic zombie-horror-comedy
ZOMBIELAND ! Out in theaters today! This looks extremely promising, anyone wanna try for a showing Sat. Sun? Let me know =) And finally if you just want a quiet weekend at home, free from all the death and the coming zombie apocalypse . . . TOO BAD! Space Channel will be assaulting your TV with a ZombieWeekend Marathon, Starting with FIDO, the story of a young boy and his loving pet, a 6ft zombie named Fido. Followed by Romero's Dawn of the dead, also Shawn of the Dead and more! All in all we are all screwed, you can't hide from the zombies . . . though you could probably outsmart them. Just make sure to buy a safety helmet for your noggin, and you might have a chance.

Remakes . . . Love 'em or Hate 'em, Hollywood will continue to pump them out. They try to veil the fact they are destroying classic movies by calling them Re-do's, Reboots, Re-imaginings, its Re-freakin'-diculous! Some movies are classics and should never be touched, others I have to admit could do with a new look and new feel. Besides, sometimes bringing an old franchise to a new generation is a good thing! None the less I present for your consideration a shortlist of upcoming Remakes. Laugh, cry, just don't shoot the messenger!

Army of Darkness / Evil Dead - Sam Raimi has wanted to redo them for awhile, it's been in the pipes but never materialized. Lets hope it stays that way.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - Awesome! I remember this as a kid, should be a great remake!

The Blob - Mr. Rob Zombie is on deck to do this remake of the remake of the original.

The Birds - Well I'll try not to fall asleep during ..ZZzzZzzz..

Child's Play - Everyones favorite murderous Doll is back to square one.

Children of the Corn - 2 different companies want to create 2 seperate remakes. I foresee both of them bombing.

GhostBusters! - Before you start frothing at the mouth, keep in mind the old cast is set to take their respective roles back!

Halloween 3D - ...Because why remake something once if you can do it again in 3D!

Hellraiser - One of my favorite horror franchises will be remade. Pinhead is awesome no matter what so I have high hopes for this.

Stephen Kings IT - This movie is so creepy still, even the passage of time has yet to diminish it's horrific tale. Not scared of Clowns? How about now?

Little Shop of Horrors - The campy original could definitely do with a remake.

Nightmare on Elm Street - The holy trinity of Halloween, and Friday the 13th wouldn't be complete if Nightmare didn't get a remake too. I'm cautiously awaiting this one.

Plan 9 from Outer Space - Ed Wood is turning in his grave!

Predator and Total Recall - Arnie will crush your girly arms if you embrace these remakes!

Piranha 3D / Puppetmaster 3D / Re-animator 3D / Saw 3D - I <3 3D.

Rocky Horror Picture Show - Some movies are sacred ground...some movies have legions of screaming fans who dress up, know all the words and songs, watch the movie religiously every Halloween and sometimes every week, and well...do you really want to make these Crazies angry? Good luck with that MTV, let me know if you survive. (P.S. This is playing at our Plaza on Oct. 30-31!)

Scream - Somewhere, Someone thought it was a good idea to do a full Reboot of this franchise....idiot.

Silent Night, Deadly Night - Could be good, if it can be as controversial as the original!

The Wolfman - The previews look kinda dope, it is a remake of the OLD school version from way back.

And that's about it. I posted what I found interesting, however if you want to see the full list check here! -> REMAKES

As our time draws to a close I have but one favor to ask. There is a movie coming to select cities. A movie called Paranormal Activity, which looks pretty damn sweet. Now there is a website you can go and DEMAND that it play in your select city. If Calgary, which is sitting at 5th place at the moment on the list of Canadian cities, can rally up enough demand then they will play it here. Here is the trailer so you can decide if you want to support it -> SPOOKY
And here is the website to Demand it! -> DEMAND IT!

See you all next week and remember, protect your noggin!
