Pop artist Sam Carter — who was fed a steady diet of the Smurfs, Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, He-Man, Transformers and Star Wars as a child — created a series of Tim Burton-inspired portraits that pay homage to the quirky director’s fantastical filmography. Each image features a silhouette of the film’s main character, with illustrations of the narrative decorating the inside. The modernist Beetlejuice abode, Edward Scissorhands’ snow angel, and the spiral-y cliff from Nightmare Before Christmas are fun, instantly recognizable references to Burton’s classic films. Gallery Popzilla exhibited the artworks in its recent Burton show, but you can buy your own Burton online. And speaking of the...

If you were born in or before the 80s, you probably watched Popeye cartoons before school (Sorry 90s kids, I don't know your life). Maybe you even sang the charming ditty about his garbage can home. If you did, you are probably healthier for it. The cartoon boosted spinach sales when it aired, and a 2010 study found that kids ate more vegetables after watching the series. Sometimes I still buy Popeye brand spinach. Interestingly, Popeye’s original superpower was indestructibility, not superstrength, and it was acquired after he rubbed the head of Bernice the Whiffle Hen multiple times after being shot. But that was a) weird, and b) not going to make America strong, so the vitamin A-packed green became the source of his power.
In tribute to all that Popeye has done for us, the Hero Complex Gallery has a special show of artwork inspired by the leafy green loving hero.

Eric Stanze is someone that I have known for some time now, maybe almost a decade. He has always been someone I have looked up to when it comes to independent filmmaking. The Scare Game, The Fine Art and Savage Harvest were the first truly independent films I rented on VHS. Stanze’s films introduced me to the world of B-Movie.com which was run by Salt City Home Video, a company that is still in business today under Sub Rosa Studios, which left quite an impression with me in my formative teenage years as a budding horror film fiend.
In this day & age, independent genre films seem to be getting more buzz than what you see at the mulitplex. This is good news for Eric as he has worked very hard for his art and the time is now for him to benefit from it. This is just my...

I never really got into MacGyver, but I got my Richard Dean Anderson fix on Stargate Sg-1.
Stargate, as many of you I’m sure remember, was a 1994 movie which circled around a gigantic ring made of unknown metal and covered in what is believed to be Egyptian hieroglyphs that is discovered buried in the sands of Giza, Egypt in during an archeological expedition in 1928. The purpose of the ring remained a mystery for sixty years, its hieroglyphs untranslatable. Finally a brilliant linguist and archaeologist specializing in Egyptology named Daniel Jackson (James Spader) is co-opted by the U.S. government and brought to Cheyenne Mountain (home of Norad) to decipher the scrawlings on the ring, which has been brought there for study and possible use by the military.

Rodney (David Hewlett) complains about Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) not letting him hold the baby, after he dropped him. Rodney was dropped when he was little. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) "that explains a lot." The Daedalus arrives at Atlantis but there's no one on board. The actual Daedalus is on its way to earth so this one isn't their one. They fly to the ship and find scorch marks underneath it. As well as an energy reading. Inside there's an abandoned jumper and it's cold. I said that jumper was theirs, as will be explained later. Rodney analyzes the ship and finds it's him, "think there's a ghost on board." The log entry shows the ship was abandoned by Commander Sobol, whom Sheppard doesn't know nor has heard of. The energy reading fluctuates and the ship jumps into hyperspace. They can't reach Atlantis and Lorne (Kavan Smith) can't reach them, either. Rodney exclaims the city isn't there.

The Thing (2011) Film Review, a movie directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen, Kim Bubbs, Stig Henrik Hoff, Jonathan Walker, and Carsten Bjornlund.
One could say that The Thing (2011) is like the Halloween remake and the Star Wars prequels: the original is better than new incarnation in almost every way. Like the Halloween remake, what was copied over into this The Thing from John Carpenter’s original film was done better the first time and what material was originated in this film should have been expanded upon. Like the Star Wars prequels, The Thing should have created its special effects in the same manner as the original film instead of going the hyper real CGI route.

Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) share wine and dinner and she likes to be spend time alone with him, as does he with her; well who wouldn't want to get Sheppard alone?!! She didn't thank him for rescuing her from Michael (Connor Trinneer) and he doesn't remember that rescue, cos it never happened, at least not yet anyway. Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks) tells him he didn't rescue her; Sheppard bleeds, he was hallucinating and wakes up next to Ronan (Jason Momoa). That must have been a shock to him, as he was already in shock from his injuries. They have been buried after the explosion at Michael's compound. Sheppard seeing Ford in such a moment was his guilt on display cos he wasn't able to save him either. They've been separated from Rodney (David Hewlett) and Lorne (Kavan Smith). The Daedalus is on its way to help. Rodney...

Its 1982. Big hair is in, and E.T is whipping up a storm at the box office. Meanwhile in Antarctica, a very different E.T is causing a stir of its own. When three Norwegian explorers stumble upon an ice tomb, they find a spacecraft inside, and a frozen alien specimen nearby. Graduate student Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is soon recruited by scientist, and uber jerk, Dr Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomson) to assist the team in digging up and experimenting on the alien life form. But not long after Kate’s arrival in Antarctica, the group awaken the deadly alien Popsicle, and all hell breaks loose.
Confusingly given the exact same name as its predecessor, The Thing is a prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 movie The Thing which itself is a remake of the Howard Hawks produced 1951 horror The Thing From Another World. In fact,...

Chicago – With Halloween approaching, what will truly scare us at the cinema this month? One strong entry is this weekend’s “The Thing,” the third remake of a wild and mysterious monster movie. It combines a European-style approach to paranoia with some truly unique monster effects.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Newcomer Matthijs van Jeijningen directs this version as a prequel to the events in John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” and uses the cold tundra of Antarctica as a character, interacting with the human element that is isolated with a monster they cannot control. The stress of this situation is palpable throughout the film, and that is what sets it apart – the willingness to use simple psychology to generate the fright. The special effects monster itself is one-of-a-kind, created with a look that is fascinatingly grotesque.
An Antarctica exploration team makes an amazing discovery, an energy force that turns out to be a hidden alien spacecraft.

It often seems like movie theaters are filled with an endless barrage of prequels, sequels or remakes, and, on the surface, the upcoming The Thing may seem like just a way to capitalize on the loyal following of John Carpenter's 1982 classic The Thing, mainly because the two movies share the exact same name.
Australian actor Joel Edgerton (Warrior) plays American helicopter pilot Sam Carter in The Thing prequel, and revealed in an interview with Collider that he only decided to make the movie was because it was not a remake but rather a "pretty genius" idea for a prequel.
I’m pretty skeptical about Hollywood and its fascination with the sequel and the franchise. It’s a zone we seem to be in, at the moment. It’s definitely a slightly nerve-wracking thing to get involved with. I don’t think I would have done it, if it was...

Actor Joel Edgerton is having one hell of a great year in 2011. Not only did he garner numerous rave reviews for his performance in the indie sports drama Warrior (alongside Dark Knight Rises star Tom Hardy and veteran actor Nick Nolte), but now he's set to make his horror genre debut with his performance in Universal Studios' upcoming prequel The Thing, which is set to hit theaters on October 14th.
Recently Dread Central had the opportunity to chat with the rising star about what attracted him to The Thing, his thoughts on making a prequel of one of the greatest horror films of all time and what he looks for when considering a role to add to his eclectic resume, which also includes work on movies like Star Wars: Episodes II & III, Kinky Boots, Smokin' Aces and the upcoming film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby.

One of the best horror remakes has to be John Carpenter's The Thing.
Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen Jr will this year deliver a prequel to the 1982 classic. It will show what happened to the Norwegian and American scientists who originally discovered the spaceship in Antarctica and are then attacked by an alien that can then mimic its victims and hide among the crew.
Images and a trailer have now been unveiled on the official UK Facebook page for the Universal Pictures movie and the studio has announced that the new UK release date will be December 2, 2011 (later than the USA date of October 14).
The trailer and images are also included below, along with the synopsis; a teaser poster is featured above.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Dr Kate Lloyd, a palaeontologist who joins a Norwegian research team that discovers a crashed UFO - and a seemingly dead extraterrestrial - in the ice.

It’s been a while since we saw anything from the Matthijs van Heijningen Jr directed prequel to The Thing. Let’s remedy that shall right now, shall we?
Here’s a picture of Joel Edgerton who plays Sam Carter in the film alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Eric Christian Olsen, and Kim Bubbs, and Edgerton has come a long way from the Star Wars prequels with his part in the acclaimed Animal Kingdom standing out in particular.
Rather than roll out another remake, this film sets its scene before the events of John Carpenter’s 1982 version in a similar vein to how Ridley Scott was planning to do with his Alien prequel before the Prometheus idea took over.
Loads of other Thing Prequel pics are available here, some with flamethrowers, some not.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) joins a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across a crashed extraterrestrial spaceship buried in the ice of Antartica. She discovers a creature that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. When an experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate joins the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them and taking them over one at a time, using its ability to perfectly mimic any lifeform it touches, and eventually reaching civilization. Twenty nine years later and we're getting our next Thing fix. Star of Oscar-nominated Australian drama Animal Kingdom Joel Edgerton is pictured above in this new photo image from Universal's The Thing. Not a lot really, but fingers crossed this movie will have the magic the original one had.

It’s lucky 13 for the Boston Underground Film Festival as they celebrate their raucous 13th annual edition this year. Opening with the much buzzed about bloody feature film Hobo With a Shotgun starring Rutger Hauer and directed by Jason Eisener, the fest then barrels on for eight wild nights and days from March 24-31.
While there’s plenty of underground goodness from the U.S.A., this year Buff feels like it’s a much more international affair with several sick features from around the globe.
