Win a “Homefront” Prize Package!

Posted on by


As regular readers know, I am really looking forward to the premiere of Homefront on November 27th!

Homefront stars Jason [“The Expendables” franchise] Statham, James [“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”] Franco, Winona [“Black Swan”] Ryder, Kate [“Superman Returns”] Bosworth, Frank [“The Grey”] Grillo and Clancy [“Highlander”] Brown in a screenplay written by Sylvester Stallone [based on the novel by Chuck Logan] and directed by Gary [“Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead”] Fleder.

HOMEFRONT is an action movie about a widowed ex-DEA agent who retires to a small town for the sake of his 10-year-old daughter. The only problem is he picked the wrong town.

I was contacted by the folks at Open Road who are promoting Homefront and asked if I would like to put together a contest for a special prize pack including a Homefront poster signed by the cast along with a copy of the book that inspired the film signed by author, Chuck Logan.  Of course I was in.

Here are the details…

  • The screenplay for Homefront was written by Sylvester Stallone based on Chuck Logan’s best selling novel of the same name and stars Jason Statham.  What other property [novel, short story, play, comic, tv show, etc.] would you like to see Sly adapt into a screenplay and who would you have star?
  • To enter the contest, simply post your response at this link:  http://craigzablo.proboards.com/thread/25187/win-homefront-prize-package
  • The contest runs from when this post goes up until 8:00am E.S.T., November 23rd.
  • I will use a random number generator to select the winner.
  • I will post the name of the winner and he/she will have 24 hours to e-mail me their real name and address. I will then forward the information to Open Road who will ship out the prize package.
  • The prize package can be shipped within the United States only, and not to a post office box.
  • I am running the contest, but Open Road is providing the prize package.
  •  Good luck to all!

best,

Craig

Humiston’s Jack Carter Gets a “Thumbs Up”

Posted on by

This is Erin Humiston’s first appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery.

I met Erin a couple of years ago at a MegaCon Convention.  I liked Erin’s animation style and thought it would be cool to see his take on a Sly character.

Erin did a sketch of Sly from Paradise Alley.  I actually thought I had shared it earlier, but in checking today see that I didn’t.  I’ll fix that and post it in a week or two.  In the mean time we have Erin’s take on Sly as Jack Carter.

You can see more of Erin’s art at his website and Facebook page.

 

The 20 Scariest Movies of All Time

Posted on by

Recently The Hollywood Reporter compiled their list of The 20 Scariest Movies of All Time.  I’ve seen 15 of the 20 and agree that they’ve come up with a good list.

My choice for number 1 scariest movie would be The Exorcist.  My favorite of the 20 listed would be Night of the Living Dead, but there are many other excellent scary movies on the list.  Any of you seen all of them?

“American Muscle”: Drive-In Worthy?

Posted on by

Regular visitors know of my love for drive-in movies.  Although most drive-in theaters have gone the way of laser disc players, drive-in movies continue to be made.

Which brings us to American Muscle.  That’s the one sheet for American Muscle posted above.  There’s no doubt  American Muscle falls into the drive-in movie category.

Don’t believe me?  Here’s a summary of American Muscle by Travis Stevens (who produced the movie)…

The movie’s about a guy, who’s been in prison for 10 years, gets released, and over the next 24 hours kills every single person who had a hand in him going to jail…

Yep.  American Muscle has drive-in movie written all over it.  In the old days I’d be looking forward to seeing it as the second or third feature at the local drive-in.  Now I just have to wait for American Muscle to arrive at Netflix.
