MovieMantz Review: Fright Evening

By Scott MantzLOS ANGELES, Calif. -- An Enjoyable Evening Fright NightAnton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David TennantDirected by Craig Gillespie Because of movies like Twilight and Television shows like True Bloodstream, vampires of the underworld are extremely popular nowadays. On the other hand, they probably always will be, but one beloved film that fans always appear to return to may be the original Fright Evening from 1985. Thats since the cult classic were built with a revisionist tongue-in-oral cavity attitude that managed to get refreshing, because it was clever and funny while still fitting the balance being an outstanding horror movie. Within the film, that was written and directed by Tom Holland, William Ragsdale performed a horror aficionado who had been firmly believing that his charming new next-door neighbor, performed by Chris Sarandon, is at fact a bloodstream-drawing creature from the evening. Nobody thought him, so he needed to convince a cleaned-up B-movie vampire killer named Peter Vincent (performed through the great Roddy McDowell) to assist him drive a stake through his heart. Although the remake does not feel as fresh because the original film, its still just like entertaining, however for different reasons. Compiled by Marti Noxon (Televisions Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and directed by Craig Gillespie (Lars and also the Real Girl), Fright Evening maintains the total amount of humor and suspense that defined the 1985 version, however it achieves this with 3-D effects which are (at least) well worth the cost of admission, given that they replicate exactly the same in-your-face thrills that made the cheesy 3-D movies from yesteryear a lot fun. Rather than the suburbs in Iowa, the brand new Fright Evening happens in Vegas, where Peter Vincent passes his time like a jaded vampire expert and illusionist for any gaudy live stage show. David Tennant (Televisions Physician Who) is amusing and practically steals the film as Vincent, since he plays him just like a self-absorbed lush who possibly deliberately bears an uplifting resemblance to Russell Brand. Colin Farrell also appears to become getting a great time because the sensual vampire nearby, while Anton Yelchin provides a strong performance as his suspicious neighbor. The supporting cast people will also be game for that fun, including Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense) as Charlies mother, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) as Charlies closest friend and Imogen Poots as Charlies girlfriend (and also the object of Farrells affection). From the structural perspective, Fright Evening includes a slightly disjointed pace, also it does not develop the strain along with the original film. Nevertheless its still an enjoyable experience, and it is loaded with full confidence, therefore it works very well by itself terms. And when little else, Fright Evening proves that after it involves entertaining and worthy movies about vampires of the underworld, theres still lots of space left within the motion picture coffin.

From Captain America to Drug-Addicted Lawyer: Watch Chris Evans in the Trailer for Puncture

In this summer’s Captain America, Chris Evans embodies a sickly man who, after being injected with miracle drug, becomes a crime-fighting hero. In this September’s based-on-a-true-story indie Puncture, Chris Evans plays a sickly (in the drug-addicted sense) lawyer who chooses to fight health care crime in the court room. Watch Evans transition away from his Marvel superhero role in the first trailer for Puncture after the jump. During this April’s Tribeca Film Festival, Movieline had the pleasure of speaking with Evans and Puncture directors Mark and Adam Kassen about the indie drama (which Evans signed onto before winning the Captain America role). At the time, Puncture did not have a distributor but with Evans busy on the superhero tentpole, it seemed a likely possibility that their film (which Mark Kassen also co-stars in) would see a theater release. Now, Puncture has found a home at Millenium Entertainment and been assigned a Sept. 23 limited release date. In the trailer, we see Evans play an incredibly functioning, incredibly well-toned lawyer who stumbles onto a big case when an ER nurse (Vinessa Shaw) comes to him after being pricked by an HIV-contaminated needle. Weiss and his partner, Paul Danziger (Mark Kassan) decide to take on the health supply corporation responsible and prepare accordingly. Puncture looks promising — although a little “television movie of the week” — and could determine the actor’s believability in more dramatic roles. Evans will also have the chance to prove his worth as a romantic interest in this fall’s What’s Your Number? opposite Anna Faris. VERDICT: To see Captain America prepare for a trial shirtless with the help of prostitutes or not to see. [via Cinema Blend]

Plans for Season 2 from the Glee Project Going ahead Quitter Cameron Doesn't Have Regrets

Cameron, Ryan Murphy A renewal is not official, however the Glee Project executive producer Michael Davies states he's already preparing. "Talks have started. Many of the planning is beginning to occur,Inch Davies stated Tuesday throughout Oxygen's fall TV preview. "No, it isn't official, but because of the rankings growth" and success on multiple platforms - Oxygen, Hulu, VOD, etc. -- "Personally i think incredibly certain that we are returning," he stated. All you understood about Glee's future is wrong Davies stated budget talks happen to be going ahead and producers are thinking about possible tweaks towards the casting process. "The show is unquestionably during my plans for the coming year,Inch he stated. Also showing up about the panel before reporters was Cameron Mitchell, who in Sunday's episode withdrew in the competition after feeling too uncomfortable with a few of the show's acting challenges - particularly, kissing other participants -- to carry on. Glee's Ryan Murphy: No stars were fired - or discovered these were fired on Twitter Mitchell stated he'd never behaved before who audition for that Glee Project. "Maybe I had been a little naïve for the reason that area," he stated, adding he understood that Glee is chock-filled with sexual styles. "I understood there is possible [that I'd need to hug someone]... But [departing] was your decision I made the decision to create.Inch "I do not regret my decision whatsoever," Mitchell stated. No hints, obviously, about who wins the show - the finale airs August. 21 - but Davies stated the champion is probably not who audiences expect. "[Glee executive producer] Ryan Murphy continues an outing. His opinions transformed" through the competition, he stated. "Where he finally reaches when it comes to who he thinks he is able to write for on Glee [differs]. It had not been predetermined." So... not Damian? The Glee Project airs Sundays at 9/8c on Oxygen.
