akashiverI've decided to go on a Thanksgiving strike: no more grading tonight. Instead, I will treat (?) you to entertainment news.
The "Howling" Franchise is getting Rebooted Unlike a lot of recent dear-god-why? "reboots" of horror frachises, the one makes sense. The original "The Howling" had a couple of good scenes, but it wasn't great, and the last scene was destroyed by terrible FX / makeup decisions. No more poodle debacles, please.
In other news, the "Uncharted" games series is headed to the screen, a new "Kull" film is headed our way, and in the most important film news of the week, Hugh Jackman is set to star in an SF film about robot boxing.
This one's worth reviewing:
Hugh Jackman.
+ Giant Robots.
Boxing.
And apparently it's based on some Richard Matheson short story I've never heard of.
I'm generally very fond of Richard Matheson's work: Duel, most of the really famous Twilight Zone episodes... and now one of his stories is getting the big screen, ultra FX Hollywood treatment with a major star attached. Really, what could go wrong?
On second thought, never mind.
