Sam Raimi is no stranger to those of us here at FSR headquarters. We’ve been fans since he first unleashed the gore-laced pratfalls of Evil Dead II upon an unsuspecting populace, although we show our love for his work in different ways…. Fure for example has seventeen different worn (but...

Anthology films are a tough sell for various reasons. The audience has less time to invest themselves in the characters, the filmmakers have less time to tell their stories, and the film as a whole depends on each segment working in unison. The best anthology films invariably end up as genre pic...

This idea is long overdue. Take a classic horror film, one known for it’s orgies of gore, graphic violence, and decapitated heads performing oral sex… Re-Animator say, and turn it into a TV series where all three of those things will have to be eliminated! Oh, and recast Herbert West a...

There weren’t a lot of films being previewed at this year’s WonderCon, but buried among the big names like Star Trek and Watchmen was a little sci-fi movie you may not have heard of before… which is a shame as it may just end up being the most interesting one of the bunch. Pandor...

“This year’s WonderCon sucks monkey nuts.” I attended WonderCon this past weekend here in San Francisco, and I’m obligated to write up some kind of recap. This normally isn’t a problem… I’ve attended conventions before, including last year’s WonderC...

Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week to look for films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… Sweden! My admittedly limited experience with contemporary Swedish cinema has ...

Adam McKay is making the rounds in Hollywood today building up interest in his next film, B Team. It’s an action comedy of the buddy cop variety, and it’s set to star Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Now I’m not a huge fan of either actor, but I like them both enough to know that...

And I apologize if you’re expecting a punchline of some sort. Hot Tub Time Machine is written by Josh Heald, and is described as “probably the greatest gift anyone’s ever given the world. Time will show that it ranks up there with the Statue of Liberty and free Internet porn.”...

What’s better than a good list? A bad list, obviously. And Entertainment Weekly is once again happy to oblige with their ranking of the “50 Greatest Active Film Directors.” The only qualification they put before the ranking is that they’re “counting down the most talent...
