"Midnight Meat Train" follows a NYC photographer who attempts to track down a serial killer dubbed the "Subway Butcher" and discovers more than he bargained for under the city streets. It's directed by Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura, and stars Bradley Cooper, Roger Bart, Vinnie Jones and Brooke Shields!
Earlier this week Satellite provider Dish Networks made the RIDICULOUS decision to remove the Monsters HD channel from its lineup (as well as a whole bunch of other great channels from the Voom Network)..The channels have been replaced by some not so amazing channels like The Fishing Channel! A petition to save the channel from extinction has been made and I encourage all of the readers to sign it. Even if you are not currently a Dish subscriber, please help out and sign this. Click here for the petition.
Also, send DIRECT TV an email at this address and get them to carry the network.
The channel was doing great things in the world of horror by playing uncut horror films 24 hours a day without commercial interruptions in some of the best HD broadcast ever seen. They ran a show called Monsterrama hosted by Elvira where she would showcase people in the horror industry, cool toys and pay tribute to the olden days of horror.
In-Three, a company that specializes in turning 2D movies into 3D experiences, is being given the chance to do it. If it sounds bogus, you should listen to what George Lucas has to say. He's having In-Three turn his "Star Wars" trilogy into 3-D movies:
"When I first saw In-Three's Dimensionalization process I was truly amazed. The 3D was of a quality better than anything I had previously experienced. Seeing my own Star Wars images in authentic 3D convinced me that it would be a whole new way for audiences to be able to re-live the Star Wars films. It's really a beautiful system, and one of the reasons I'm promoting it today is I'm extremely anxious to reissue that old group of films I did so long ago in a galaxy far away.
"When you see some of this test footage, it's shockingly good, and you can see how people would want to go see it. It means we can repurpose a lot of old movies, and at the same time it really gives a whole new dimension to the movies we're making now."
So, turning "Dawn of the Dead" into a 3-D film doesn't sound so horrible after all. Richard P. Rubinstein is doing it and it should be out in theaters in 2009, apparently. But we'll see what George Romero has to say about it.
The cast and crew will be present for a Q&A following the film. Blitzkrieg will also have a week long run at the Pioneer at a date to beannounced in the late summer, as well as dates across the country. For tickets and information, please visit the Pioneer website: HERE
To purchase tickets in advance: HERE From Keith Crocker, director of 1997’s The Bloody Ape, comes a brand-new Nazi exploitation flick for 2008! For nearly 30 years no one has dared tackle the genre, leaving us rerunning Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS in our DVDplayers. Now, in period costume and refashioning New York, Long Island locales, Crocker has fathomed a return to the glorious ’70s when the Nazigenre was more grindhouse fodder rather than a political nod. Wild Eye Releasing is handling the limited theatrical release and eventually DVD duties.
