Raimi makes everyone's day

The “Evil Dead” remake is right around the corner and the horror world is holding its breath in a sickly mix of fear and anticipation. Will it be good? Will it suck horribly? Is there even the slightest chance of a Bruce Campbell cameo?

                 So many questions, but no answers until one month from today, April 5 of this year. Until then. We wait.

                Well, we wait and we get this news from BleedingCool.

                While pimping his latest effort, “Oz: The Great and Powerful” in London, original “Evil Dead” director Sam Raimi dropped a bombshell.

                He wants to make “Evil Dead 4.” Not a remake, reboot or reimagining. An honest-to-God American sequel. Or four-ple.

                 He added that he and his brother (most likely Ivan) plan on working on the script … wait for it … this summer!

                This isn’t some idle pillow talk from Raimi. This sounds like a frigging plan!

                Just wonderful news. So even if the remake ends up as a massive disaster, there’s a potential sequel to the original franchise looming on the horizon, just waiting to make everything OK.

                God speed Raimi brothers. Make it so!

Is the sun setting on 'Resident Evil'? 

                And then there’s this sequel news. Not as exciting, or really at all exciting, but you know. It’s a thing.

                There’s more “Resident Evil” a-coming. Well, at least one more.

                Sony has greenlit “Resident Evil 6” and given it a release date of September 12, 2014.

                No confirmation yet on whether the bad Paul Anderson will be back to direct, or if his lovely wife Mila Jovovich will return for part six, but duh. They’ll be there.

                After part four came out, Anderson did lots of talking about how he was starting up a new trilogy of films, meaning this one could very well be the last of the Anderson/Jovovich “Resident Evil” film series.

                So yeah. Grab some tissues and such. It’s so hard … to say goodbye … to yesterday.

                I’m strongly, strongly considering a “Resident Evil” week or marathon or something where I watch all five of these movies. Well, really, I don’t think the first one belongs on The Cheese List. That’s a good movie. Part two sucks and I haven’t seen the rest.

                I’ll keep you posted.

News: Bad Paul Anderson invades Pompeii

Kotaku.com

I don’t have any kids. I’ve got two cats that I refer to as my children, but that’s only so believable considering they’re tiny and furry and look nothing like me and are from another species. So yeah, cats no kids.

                But one day, when I do have children who are from the same species, in addition to the usual stuff like potty training and how ride a bike, there’s one life lesson I’ll probably spend a significant portion of time on:

                The epic saga of the “Good Paul Anderson” and the “Bad Paul Anderson,” or as they prefer to be called Paul Thomas Anderson, director of critical darlings like “There Will Be Blood” and “Boogie Nights” and Paul W.S. Anderson, director of mostly crap. Fun crap, but crap nonetheless.

                There’s a news story in here somewhere, trust me.

                Anyway, so a quick summary of said saga: Paul Thomas spends months slaving over his art, he has critics falling over themselves for a whiff of his socks and the basement/attic full of awards, but ol’ Paul W.S. can sleepwalk through another “Resident Evil,” get paid a giant pile of money and then go home at the end of the day to his gorgeous wife, Milla Jovovich.

                The lesson in all this is either there’s hope for all of us or life is patently unfair … depending on your perspective.

                So that was really just a long and winding way of saying: Hey there, Paul W.S. Anderson is making a new movie!

                It’s called “Pompeii,” and it’s set in the city of Pompeii right before the volcano Pomp… I mean, Vesuvius erupts.

Emily Browning of “Sucker Punch” fame has just signed on to play one half of a pair of star crossed lovers. Kit Harrington, of “Game of Thrones” (not sure who he is), is the male half.

So he ends up getting shipped out of town right before the world goes to hell, then he decides to come back and try to save his lady and best friend.

Apparently “The Three Musketeers” wasn’t enough to satisfy Paul W.S. hunger for costume-action-dramas.

Shooting is set for April everybody, so there’s still time to him to cram Milla in this thing somehow.

News: First 5 minutes of 'Musketeers!'

Well, you can all rest easy. The wait is finally over. In just under 90 minutes (American), Paul W.S. Anderson’s three dimensional take on “The Three Musketeers” hits the silver screen.

                Can’t wait 90 minutes? And honestly who could for a film of this magnitude? Only drunks and fools, I’m sure. And you, dear readers are neither drunks nor fools. Of course not. You’re reading this site after all.

                Fear not for the first five minutes of Anderson’s film are available for FREE online! Right now! So you can watch them, go to sleep, wake up and then travel to your local theater to watch the rest of the movie.

                It’ll be like Christmas, if Christmas was centered on watching lame, by-the-books action movies.

                Having watched the clip, it looks just like all of Anderson’s other movies. It has Milla Jovovich, lots of slow motion, crazy gadgets. You know, the usual except everyone’s wearing fancier clothes than normal.

                Anyway, watch the clip if you’d like. Be careful in theaters tomorrow. I’m sure the kids are going to be tearing down the doors to get in and see this thing…

                Most likely because “Paranormal Activity 3” is already sold out. But still, it counts.
