Back in 1958, director Irvin Yeaworth brought the world a really fun creature feature called The Blob, which was followed by Larry Hagman’s late-to-the-party sequel Beware! The Blob (a.k.a. Son of Blob) in 1972 and an awesome remake directed by Chuck Russell – which ranks as one of the best remakes ever made – in 1988. We’ve been hearing rumblings of another Blob remake for over a decade now. Rob Zombie was attached to write and direct a new version of The Blob for a brief period of time, and commissioned some concept art before leaving the project. The Conjuring writers Chad and Carey Hayes wrote a draft of the script that reimagined the titular being as the B.L.O.B., which stood for Biological Lethal Organic Bomb. Their script was scrapped. Later, Con Air director Simon West was going to be helming the film, with Samuel L. Jackson signed...

The original film was followed by a 1972 sequel, Beware! The Blob, directed by Larry Hagman of all people.

Jake Gyllenhaal looked absolutely shredded for his upcoming film “Road House”, and he showed off his chiseled body during Friday’s UFC 285 weigh-ins.
In video taken by Mma Junkie, the 42-year-old actor can be seen strutting to the stage before he’s introduced as the UFC middleweight challenger Edward Dalton. After getting to the stage, Gyllenhaal pumps up the crowd before taking off his hoodie to reveal the stunning body transformation.
UFC veteran Jay Hieron then headed to the stage for his weigh-in. Hieron, who is playing the fighter Jack Harris, faced off against Gyllenhaal, who later slaps Hieron. After all hell breaks loose, Gyllenhaal called out his opponent.

NBC’s La Brea season two episode 12 opens with Gavin, Eve, and James placing flowers on Caroline’s grave. James has made contact with an ally who may help them take back the building now that Kira’s taken over.
Back in camp, Sam’s treating Silas who looks like he’s going to eventually recover. Gavin (Eoin Macken) and Izzy (Zyra Gorecki) argue over Levi, with Gavin convinced Levi’s made his choice and now they have to do what’s best for their family without him. Izzy doesn’t think they should turn their back on Levi that quickly.

Out of Death is the latest Emmett/Furla production, a company who seem to be following the Pm Entertainment model of churning out action movie after action movie, with actors who are either long-term mid-carders or, like Willis, are in the twilight of their career. I’m not complaining. There was, for quite some time, a distinct lack of mid-budget original action movie fare made in the US. Of course there are the many Dtv franchises that Universal 1440 put out: Behind Enemy Lines, The Marine, Death Race, Sniper, etc. but not much by way of original storytelling. Emmett/Furla obviously saw the same gap in the market are thankfully filling that hole… With varying degrees of success may I add. But they’re still filling a...

Li Meng (Hannah Quinlivan) has a thing about eruptions. One killed her mother - as we see in the prologue here - and she has devoted her life to preventing further such horrors, developing new technology to predict them and even going inside a crater to position the censors that will make it work. Her father (Wang Xueqi), having already lost one loved one, wants her to stop, which has created a rift between them - but a bigger problem is ambitious developer Jack Harris (Jason Isaacs), who just doesn't take the danger seriously. If you thought building a theme park full of live dinosaurs was a bad idea, wait until you see this theme park built around an active volcano.
To be fair, Kilauea tourism has been popular for decades, but that's a rather different proposition. Whereas the Hawaiian volcano smoulders away in a consistent manner, with multiple outlets for.

And now for something we had read about but never before saw: Tod Slaughter’s highly entertaining murder thriller is stylized in a vintage theatrical format, the Victorian blood & thunder barnstorming drama, originally from 1880 or thereabouts. Slaughter’s refined gentleman is also a crazed killer with a bizarre modus operandi. Everything that happens is borderline preposterous, and all the better for it. It’s not exactly a horror picture — unadventurous fans may just see a creaky 80-year old movie — but Tod Slaughter is one of a kind. Kino’s new Blu-ray is a beautiful restoration with an informative and entertaining audio commentary.

An old monster formula props up this fantastic film, but at its heart is a brilliant central idea that excites the imagination. Jack H. Harris’s sophomore picture after The Blob is on the awkward side, but the good stuff is much better than we expect it to be. Ambitious performances by Robert Lansing, Lee Meriwether and James Congdon come through with something unique, with graces we just don’t find in independent Sci-Fi from the late 1950s. And the new Blu-ray rejuvenates the film’s special effects — all it took was a good 4K restoration.

Once you’re absorbed by its terror, you can’t even scream. The slimy mass that is the Blob first thrilled audiences when it took on Steve McQueen on the big screen in 1958. It next oozed into cinemas via the 1972 sequel, Beware! The Blob, before being reborn in a 1988 remake directed by Chuck Russell and co-written by Frank Darabont. Proving that it’s still a relentless alien amoeba, 1958’s The Blob is being remade once again.
Goldcrest Films is moving forward with a remake of The Blob, with Simon West (The Expendables 2, Con Air) lined up for the director’s chair and shooting slated to begin this summer. Modern-day special effects capabilities are expected to bring the Blob to life like never before, and Chris Haney (Avatar, Avengers Assemble) will oversee the VFX in post-production.
