HollywoodChicago.com film review: 'Zombie Strippers' with Jenna Jameson, Robert Englund

HollywoodChicago.com — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:00:00 -0700

HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald wrote in his 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Zombie Strippers” with Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund (who played Freddy Krueger in “A Nightmare on Elm Street”):

Patrick McDonald wrote:This is intentional “B” movie heaven with absolutely no apologies from the filmmakers. Stay away if you can’t stomach the bloody entrails of the zombie world, the casual nudity of strippers, stiff acting and laughably bad narrative structure.

On the other hand, do come if you want to have a hysterically good time because this film is also anarchistic, symbolically multi-layered and best of all everyone doesn’t care who they piss off.

In one of the great light bulb ideas that could only happen in association with making movies, along comes “Teeth” to bite us in the – well, to bite us hard. If you think the rhetorical illustration of the events defy logic, just wait to actually sink your own teeth into it.

Justin Long to Star in Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell

Shadow Puppet — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:23:59 -0700

Just in from /Film:

Justin Long will now star in Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell: How did a movie go from so much potential with a return to old form, an Oscar nominated actress [Ellen Page] attached, to a Justin Long movie? I have no idea, but I too would rather see Mr. PC star in Raimi’s first horror thriller in years than the baby-faced star of Jeepers Creepers, Drew Barrymore’s prolonged youth and Apple propaganda.

The horror genre’s nasty feud with Oscar nominees continues, as Juno star Ellen Page has pulled out out of the dark place that is director Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror-thriller Drag Me to Hell. Bloody Disgusting reports that the sweet tart wasn’t happy over the latest draft of the script, which was written by Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi, but they speculate that this is really “Oscar cold feet.” Page came aboard the film earlier this month.

HollywoodChicago.com reviews 'Diary of the Dead' from horror master George A. Romero

HollywoodChicago.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:13:04 -0700

HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald says in his 4.5 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Diary of the Dead”:

This is serious stuff that’s done with serious élan from a young cast. “Diary of the Dead” is a great film by a veteran raconteur. There is sensational exhibition in Romero’s filming technique. In pushing the zombie envelope, Romero makes a poignant statement on our selfish, fear-based society.
