Cabin in the Woods Reviews, Interviews & More
This has been a huge pivot point for movies in how they're made and distributed. 2012 was the year where the film industry turned its back on 35 millimeter film (which has been the standard for well over a century), with digital projection no longer just an option but the standard. At the same time a filmmaker like Paul Thomas Anderson shot a movie on 70mm - a format that hadn't been used...
2012 provided us with a number of decent horror flicks. For so many years we were getting these awful horror movies, all suffering from the same sickness – cheap thrills and cliché endings. Paranormal Activity provided fans of the genre with something fresh and terrifying, but then that franchise fell into the same traps. The sequels, including the one we saw this year, failed to...
This week’s DVD and Blu-ray releases are all about a certain doctor/professor/adventurer whose adventures have kept us entertained for over three decades, and made for at least two good movies. There’s also the surprisingly great The Cabin in the Woods, and the Katy Perry movie, and Criterion’s got a couple winners coming as well. Check it out.
Lawrence Kasdan disappeared from the scene for nearly a decade, but he’s recently found his way back with Darling Companion - a story that any pet lover can appreciate. Consider this a Homeward Bound for adults that centers on the human relationships rather than the talking cat and dog relationships.
This was the first weekend since it opened that The Hunger Games was weak enough to be dethroned from the top slot. Fortunately for the film, it's competition was weak. Perhaps not as weak as originally thought, as The Three Stooges and The Cabin in the Woods exceeded some expectations, whereas Lockout...
This weekend a film that's been sitting in a can for nearly three years goes up against a reboot of a franchise spawned in the 1920's, only to have to face deadly Hunger Games competition. Yes, we are in April, and yes, the system is winding down after a record-setting March to deliver odd films that the system never figured out how to sell.
The long-delayed Cabin in the Woods is about to hit theaters, and word on it has been absolutely stellar. It played like gangbusters to the SXSW crowd, and Joss Whedon's looking for a month of big wins if audiences go for this (and that other picture of his, The Avengers). He co-wrote this with Drew Godard - who also directed - and now we're...
When MGM shipwrecked last spring, it left the fate of The Hobbit, James Bond and two unreleased films in question (Cabin the Woods, Red Dawn). As of today, the company has figured out their release plans for the current and older titles. Sony will handle the theatrical distribution and Fox will handle their home video. Unknown in this split...
Will someone tell Hollywood executives that 3-D is not the saving grace of the film industry? The way things are going you'd think this was the fifties and movies were competing with TV all over again. According to ShockTillYouDrop, Joss Whedon's highly anticipated thriller, The Cabin in the Woods has been pushed back an entire year, and it's all 3-D's fault!
