    The Tooth Fairy



    Johnson is Derek "The Tooth Fairy" Thompson, a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's hopes, he's sentenced to one week's hard labour as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" - bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes…doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.

    The Crazies


    A husband and wife in a small Midwestern town find themselves battling for survival as their friends and family descend into madness in The Crazies. A mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed to it into mindless killers and the authorities leave the uninfected to their certain doom in this terrifying reinvention of the George Romero horror classic.

    The American Dream goes horribly wrong when the residents of this picture-perfect town begin to succumb to an uncontrollable urge for violence and the horrific bloodshed escalates into anarchy. In an attempt to contain the epidemic, the military uses deadly force to close off access into or out of town, abandoning the few healthy citizens to the growing mayhem as depraved killers lurk in the shadows.

    Sheriff David Dutton, his pregnant wife Judy, Becca an assistant at the medical centre and Russell , Dutton's deputy and right-hand man, find themselves trapped in a once idyllic town they can no longer recognize. Unable to trust former neighbours and friends, deserted by the authorities and terrified of contracting the illness themselves, they are forced to band together in a nightmarish struggle for survival.

    A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010

    It seems like new trailer for the remake of the 1984 Nightmare on Elm Street, has gone insane on MySpace, at least according to Mashable.com


    As for the trailer itself. Looks great, dare I say, horror buff and all.

    This does not ooze cheesy remake. Instead, it appears to stay truthful to the original dark, serious, downright scary. Glad to see it's not another of the MTV-style, catch phrase, throwaway sequels of the late 80s.
    The trailer itself is very good, a lot of detail and also the idea of exploring the Freddy Krueger back-story that is only alluded to in the original is creative. That is, the alleged child molester is hunted and ultimately burned in a boiler room by vigilante parents from the neighbourhood featuring the famous, and not exactly unique, Elm St.

    And we all know Freddy is kind of like the roach that wont die and he always gets the last laugh as he stalks teens in their dreams in his trademark red and green striped shirt and bladed power glove.

    Blind Date


    Director: Stanley Tucci

    Cast: Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci


    An English-language remake of Theo Van Gogh's award winning 1996 Dutch film, BLIND DATE is the story of an estranged couple (Stanley Tucci, starring and directing, and Patricia Clarkson) who are desperately trying to reconcile after the tragic death of their daughter. Unable to face either their grief or each other, they go a series of "blind dates", each placing personal ads in the paper and pretending to be strangers when they meet. They do this over and over again, playing a series of different roles, in an attempt to overcome the pain and rebuild their shattered relationship. When controversial filmmaker Theo van Gogh was shot and killed in cold blood in 2004 by a religious fundamentalist angered over the portrayal of Islam in one of his short films, the idea to remake three of his favorite films in English, with Hollywood stars, was born. This is the second film in said trilogy, after Steve Buscemi's INTERVIEW.

    Halo 3: ODST Trailer

    Instead of featuring a normal trailer for a movie today, I thought I'd feature this amazingly badass trailer that Bungie / Microsoft made for Halo 3: ODST, the latest Halo game out in a few weeks (Amazon). This is exactly why I would love to see a full-on live-action Halo movie. They really should just hire the guy who made this and give him $200 million, a good script, and let him at it. I would love to see 2 hours of the kind of action seen in this. And although I know this is less than two-minutes, it's stories like this that could be the basis for a great screenplay set in the Halo universe. Anyway, if you haven't seen this yet, check it out!


    Halo 3: ODST


    Original video file comes from IGN, but embedded above thanks to MySpace. Trailer was directed by Rupert Sanders, an up-and-coming filmmaker who also directed the awesome Wolverine video game "Captivity" Commercial and landed his first Hollywood gig to direct Leo DiCaprio's The Low Dweller.
