J.J. Abrams is the man responsible for bringing Star Wars back to cinematic life, but there was a time where that might not have been the case. Director David Fincher has revealed that he was, at one point, talking to Lucasfilm about directing Star Wars: Episode VII . ”I talked to [Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy] about it, but I think that it’s a different thing from... I don’t know what Disney-Lucasfilm will be like,” the Gone Girl director told Total Film in a recent interview. “It’s tricky… My favorite is The Empire Strikes Back. If I said, 'I want to do something more like that,' then I'm sure the people paying for it would be like, 'No! You can't do that! We want it like the other one with all the creatures!’” He went on to say that he saw Star Wars as “the story of two slaves [C-3PO and R2-D2] who go from owner to owner, witnessing their masters' folly, the ultimate folly of man… I thought it was an interesting idea in the first two, but i

Win Tickets To An Advance For ANNABELLE on September 30th at 7:30PM in Fresno. ANNABELLE follows John ( Ward Horton ) and Mia Form ( Annabelle Wallis ), a young couple happily expecting their first child. But when the beautiful (depending on how you look at it) vintage doll John buys for his wife attracts the attention of an obsessed satanic cult, things go scare-shaped for them and, more violently, their neighbors. Surviving that initial incident, the couple moves to a new house, but discover that Annabelle has somehow made the trip with them. Sadly, they don’t at first make the connection between the creepy object and the horror that befell them last time, but they soon learn that the doll has a demon attached to it, one determined to make their lives a living hell. Just once it would be nice to meet a demon whose only concern is that we’ve remembered to lock the door behind us or set the DVR for the right show… With John R. Leonetti inheriting directorial duties f

TV Recap: OUTLANDER "BOTH SIDES NOW" By: Suepafly The phone rings at the Inverness Police Department. The normal investigations are going on, but today is different, so much so the constable needs a drink. He has to meet with Frank, and there are still no findings of Claire. He had low expectations on the department, and they've lived up to those, finding nothing, but there is nothing to find. Claire remains missing, and Frank distraught over her missing. With no body, no blood, no signs of a struggle, the police department thinks its most likely that she left of her own free will, and that the highlander that he spotted the night before is probably her lover that she ran off with. Frank does not believe that she's with another man. But Claire is with Jamie at the moment, and he's got an awkward question for her. He asks if it's usual as it is between the two of them when they touch, when they're together. Claire admits that it isn't, that i

TV Recap: DOCTOR WHO "THE CARETAKER"  By: Suepafly Clara is struggling to juggle both lives, as the Doctor's companion and as a school teacher dating Danny Pink. One day, the Doctor tells Clara that she cannot accompany him on his next trip, as he will be going deep undercover. When Clara heads to work, Danny asks if she is doing alright, as she always seems to be in a hurry when she sees him. The students also seem to be aware of her relationship with Danny. In the staff room of Coal Hill School, the headmaster announces that the caretaker is ill and that they will have a temporary replacement. He enters, and it's the Doctor, using the alias John Smith. Clara confronts the Doctor, asking him what he is up to. The Doctor says that he has merely hypnotised the caretaker into thinking he's sick and will be back soon enough. Clara believes there are aliens in the school but the Doctor will not tell her, saying there is an alien, himself. She then asks if th

Though we’re fairly certain all involved would prefer that word didn't leak, rumors sprang up last week that Roberto Orci, J.J. Abrams and the Star Trek 3 team were working on a way to squeeze William Shatner into the new film. Now, speaking at the Wizard World Nashville convention event, Shatner has confirmed that he’s spoken to Abrams about the idea. According to The Shat, Abrams called him from London with word of a potential way to fit Shatner’s Captain Kirk into the new movie, in much in the same way that Leonard Nimoy’s Spock has appeared in both the recent rebooted films. And Shatner’s response? “It depends on what you do with the character, but I would be delighted.” This is, of course, by no means a done deal yet. Shatner would have to approve the plan and, given that it was supposed to be kept quiet (the actor didn’t even tell his wife, but someone got wind of it), Abrams may decide that it shouldn’t now happen. Shatner remains hopeful, even if he can’t quite co

Blu-ray Review: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 40th Anniversary Collector’s Edition By: Brandon Wolfe The title of ‘ The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ’ is so bluntly evocative that people who have never seen the film have generally assumed the worst of it. The title conjures up images of horrific brutality and graphic gore, and that’s before you add the element of cannibalism into the mix. Yet, truth be told, ‘ The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ’ isn’t gory, or even especially bloody, at all, nor is does it depict any grisly displays of cannibalism. By the standards of today’s horror, the film is actually fairly tame. Despite the mental imagery ascribed to the film by reputation, this is not a stomach-churning endurance test. And yet, it kind of is. While ‘ The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ’ doesn’t saturate us with viscera, it remains, forty years later, one of cinema’s most unsettling pieces of work. From its ominous opening voiceover (gravely intoned by John Larroquette ) fallaciously af
