Akiva Goldsman To Direct 'Firestarter' Remake

By
You just can't keep a good horror concept down. Or even one that was just okay originally. With Stephen King's work still being adapted all over the place, his Firestarter is getting a second spark of cinematic life with Akiva Goldsman aboard to direct.

First published in 1980, Firestarter was originally adapted into the eponymous film in 1984, with Drew Barrymore starring as young Charlene "Charlie" McGee, who has pyrokinetic abilities and can see the near future. As her powers bloom, she's targeted by a government agency looking to turn them into a weapon.

Jason Blum, who has just produced Goldsman's latest directorial outing, horror pic Stephanie, used that film's opening night screening at the Overlook Film Festival to announce that they are developing the new Firestarter for Universal. The studio has been trying to get this one burning again since at least 2010, but the Blumhouse team, which has seen success with Split and Get Out This year, could be just what the idea needs. Scott Teems is writing the script and Martha De Laurentiis, who was an associate producer on the original, will also help to shepherd this one.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...
