By PETER BROWN 07/16/2013

Apparently Fox will be offering a limited edition PREDATOR Blu-ray at San Diego Comic-Con that “officially” begins this Thursday but the floor opens Wednesday night for those people that want to scoop up some cool swag or comics before the panels and absolute madness begins. So Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is creating a booth dedicated specifically to the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. At booth #3528 you can get your photo taken with a 3-D camera and then be transformed into a customized figurine that features the Predator holding a fan’s severed head. Naturally, this is going to be a huge hit. […]Read On »

Stars: Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo, Jaason Simmons, Aubrey Peeples, Chuck Hittinger, John Heard Writer: Thunder Levin Director: Anthony C. Ferrante Network: Syfy Channel Original Airdate: Thursday, July 11 @ 9 PM [Full disclosure, SHARKNADO is directed by Assignment X  founder Anthony C. Ferrante, but he allowed us to review the film anyway] Important fact: sharks are in fact relatively delicate creatures that would not survive oxygen deprivation, chlorine, the Los Angeles sewage system or other environmental disruptions depicted here; to the extent they did survive, they would be fighting to breathe, not trying to consume everything in sight.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Erin Way, Eric Matheny, Ryan Smale, Stephanie Scholz Writers: Jimmy Loweree & Jake Moreno Director: Jimmy Loweree Distributor: Cinedigm Release Date:  theatrical July 5, 2013;VOD August 6, 2013 Any low-budget movie that gets theatrical distribution deserves applause for the twin accomplishments of being completed and being seen. ABSENCE is also likely to strike some fond chords forSouthern Californians, who will recognize the freeways and environments, if perhaps not specific locations. However, in what seems to be an effort to avoid horror movie conventions, director Jimmy Loweree and his co-scenarist Jake Moreno fail to replace the conventions […]Read On »
