The poster and trailer to QT8: Quentin Tarantino – The First Eight are here! I like the looks of both and my guess is that the behind-the-scenes stuff will be more than worth the price of admission.
Each week JoBlo.com posts a feature called Awesome Art We’ve Found Around the Net. I always enjoy what JoBlo finds because with each post they list the artist’s name and a link to more of his/her art.
That’s where I found this cool Over the Top poster by Alexander Cherepanov.
The Line of Duty poster and trailer are here! I like the look of both but I’m worried the trailer gives away too much.
Alex Maidy and Joblo.com present The Top 10 Zombie Movies of the 21st Century. I’ve seen nine of the ten films listed and here are my ratings and thoughts…
9. REC (2007): I didn’t care for this one.
8. DEAD SNOW (2009): This was okay. I’d like to see it again to see if my opinion changes.
7. PLANET TERROR (2007) Definitely had the drive-in feel which they were going for. I thought I’d like it better.
6. SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) I liked this one. If you’re down for funny zombie movies, then this is for you.
5. ZOMBIELAND (2009) Another funny zombie film that works.
4. TRAIN TO BUSAN (2016) Surprisingly good.
3. DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) Don’t hate on me, but I liked the remake better than the original.
2. 28 DAYS LATER (2002) One of my favorite zombie movies.
1. WORLD WAR Z (2013) Get’s better on each viewing and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it. Sucks me in every time.
The poster and trailer for I See You are here. Not sure about the poster but the trailer looks interesting.
Helen Hunt stars in the mind-twisting psychological thriller I See You. When a 12 year-old boy goes missing, lead investigator Greg Harper (Jon Tenney) struggles to balance the pressure of the investigation and troubles with his wife, Jackie (Hunt). Facing a recent affair, great strain is put on the family and slowly gnaws away at Jackie’s grip on reality. But after a malicious presence manifests itself in their home and puts their son, Connor (Judah Lewis), in mortal danger, the cold, hard truth about evil in the Harper household is finally uncovered.

The Bloodshot trailer is here and looks a lot better than I thought it would. I’m not familiar with the Bloodshot character/comics, but that may have to change after seeing this trailer.
Matthew Jackson and Mental Floss present 10 Gruesome Facts About Dawn of the Dead. Here are three of my favorites and my thoughts on each… click over to get the full story.
1. WE CAN THANK THE MALL (AND DARIO ARGENTO) FOR DAWN OF THE DEAD. (Romero had avoided returning to the genre for years and had it not been for Argento helping with creative control and financing, Dawn of the Dead may have never happened! – Craig)
3. MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF DAWN OF THE DEAD EXIST. (This is news to me! I’d love to see Argento’s version that cut down on the humor. I have a feeling I’d prefer it. – Craig)
4. DAWN OF THE DEAD WAS RELEASED UNRATED IN AMERICA. (I took my future wife to see the unrated version on Dawn’s initial release. It’s the only movie we’ve ever walked out on. The gore was too much for her. Later in the week I returned with my buddy, John Beatty and we made it to the end. – Craig)
I hope you dig this Pulp Fiction poster by Marko Manev as much as I do. If so you can click on the photo above to see a larger version. If you like it even more, click over to HCGArt.com and consider ordering your own limited edition print.
Meg Shields and Film School Rejects posted their choices for 10 Jolting Jump Scares That Don’t Feel Cheap. Let me say from the start that I’m a sucker for a good jump scare. It’s not safe to be sitting to close to me during a horror movie because I will not only flinch, I will jump.
Sheilds’ list is a good one, but there are three great jump scares that didn’t make her list that would have made mine…
Play Misty For Me (1971) Clint Eastwood plays a popular DJ who’s had a one night stand with a woman who comes unhinged when he dumps her. There’s a scene where Eastwood wakes up to find her in his bedroom that has a great jump scare. I saw this in a drive-in when I was 13 and I’ll admit that I jumped more than Clint Eastwood — and he came out of his bed!
Carrie (1976) The final scene of the movie. I saw this at a midnight movie when I was 18. I came out of the seat and probably scared my date more than the jump scare.
Friday the 13th. Again, the final scene. I saw this on HBO and had no idea what was coming. In fact it was well after midnight and I got up to walk over to turn off the tv (no remote control in those prehistoric days) thinking the credits were about to roll. They were but not before that classic jump scare!
Here is the poster and trailer for Crown Vic starring Thomas Jane.
During one night on patrol, a veteran cop (Thomas Jane) and his rookie partner (Luke Kleintank) chase down violent suspects while searching for a missing girl and hunting two cop killers on the loose in Los Angeles.
Jacob Trussell and Film School Rejects came up with their list of 10 Horror Posters That Are Seared Into Our Brains. Their list is a good one, but they didn’t find a spot for one of my favorites, George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.
The Radioflash poster and trailer are here. Trust me, the trailer is better than the poster.
