Baywatch

Taking into account that 21 Jump Street was a resounding success both critically and commercially, it’s really no surprise to hear that some studios are considering putting a comedic twist on film adaptations of TV dramas.

According to Vulture, Reno 911! co-creator/star Robert Ben Garant has been tapped to direct the film adaptation of Baywatch. The film originally started out as an actioner, but as writers like Jeremy Garelick (The Break Up) and Peter Tolan (Rescue Me) rewrote the script, it turned into something different. The two have said before that they knew very little about the TV drama when they were writing the script, but Tolan has said that his take was more like Stripes. Ironically, Ivan Reitman, who directed Stripes, will be producing Baywatch.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Hobbit Party banner

“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” “” Bilbo Baggins to the guests at his 111th birthday party

There’s been a lot of happenings this week in celebration of Tolkien week, with the release of the full trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first installment in Peter Jackson’s planned big-screen Hobbit trilogy, along with its four alternate endings, as well as character photos from the upcoming film.

Tomorrow is another big day in the Tolkien universe, as it’s the birthday of both Bilbo Baggins – who you might recall celebrated his 111th birthday during the events of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings – and his nephew Frodo Baggins. Therefore, September 22nd has been dubbed Hobbit Day. And what better way to celebrate Hobbit Day than with a Hobbit Day party, precious?

The official Hobbit Facebook page has posted a guide on How To Throw A Hobbit Day Party – check it out here below!

Movie Review: House At The End Of The Street

House at the End of the Street PosterHouse At The End Of The Street
Directed by: Mark Tonderai
Written by: David Loucka, Jonathan Mostow
Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thieriot, Gil Bellows, Elisabeth Shue
Relativity Media | Rogue
Rated PG-13 | 101 Minutes
Release Date: September 21, 2012

Directed by Mark Tonderai, with a script by David Loucka (Dream House) based on a short story by Jonathan Mostow, House At The End Of The Street stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) and Elisabeth Shue (Piranha).

How many times must we watch a horror movie where the premise is, “Someone was killed in that house…” or “They never found the body,” as if all across the country single mothers and their daughters are moving next door to the friendly neighborhood Murder House?

The House at the End of the Street is the latest in a long-running tradition of bad things happening in houses on streets. Of course there’s Wes Craven’s 1972 exploitation film, The Last House on the Left and his 1984 classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Actually, considering 1991’s People Under the Stairs is also by Craven, that guy might have a serious issue with houses.

Let’s not forget 1977’s Last House on Dead End Street (originally released in 1974 as The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell), which I only mention because of the awful title(s) and a plot that involves snuff films and power drills. Knowing Hollywood, we’ll probably see a remake of The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell after the next batch of Paranormal Activity sequels.
