It's been a long time coming and I for one am excited to be able to finally give you all the final word on MY NAME IS BRUCE.

Hitting the shelves on Feb. 10th this horror spoof / send up / great movie is going to be one you want to add to your "must get" list.  Here is the press release that highlights all that needs highlighted:

Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead trilogy, TV's Burn Notice) is fearless, unstoppable and ready for his close-up when the cult-classic-in-the-making My Name is Bruce debuts on DVD and Blu-ray Hi-Def February 10 from Image Entertainment.  Grace Thorsen (Sixes and the One Eyed King), newcomer Taylor Sharpe and Ted Raimi (Spider-Man trilogy, The Midnight Meat Train) co-star in the story of a self-absorbed, hard-drinking, and marginally talented actor (Campbell) asked to rescue a group of socially inept fans who unwittingly unleash a vengeful spirit on a killing rampage. The groovy bonus materials include the behind-the-scenes featurette Heart of Dorkness – The Making of My Name is Bruce, the spoof on “E! True Hollywood Storyâ€� and “Inside Editionâ€� exposés Hard Truth News from Hollywood – the REAL Bruce Campbell, and commentary with director/actor Bruce Campbell and producer Mike Richardson. Following its national theatrical release in more than 20 top markets supported by an in-person publicity tour by Campbell, the film will be available on DVD for $27.98 SRP and on Blu-ray Hi-Def for $35.98.

SYNOPSIS:    Something evil is stirring in the small mining town of Gold Lick, and it's not happy. Guan-di, the Chinese protector of the dead with a strange affinity for bean curd, has been awakened by reckless teenagers, and now his bloody crusade to wipe out the town's entire population can only be stopped by one man—Bruce Campbell (the guy who starred in all three Evil Dead movies and Bubba Ho-tep), B-movie star and deadbeat ex-husband extraordinaire, who's recruited to be their unwitting savior. Thinking the whole scenario's a publicity prank, Bruce is distracted from his mission by a hot mom and fan boys aplenty—but when our hero has to face off against a dark force more fearsome than a Hollywood agent, the laughs and screams start flying!

Universal today sent out a press pack that outlined this years release slate and in it was a ton of info about their genre selections.  We're going to talk about two of them and they both involve Wes Craven.

First up is the remake of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. 

In case you don't remember the classic original, here's what this disturbing little ditty is all about:

After kidnapping and butchering two teenagers, a gang unknowingly finds refuge with the parents of one of the victims -- hosts who devise gruesome revenge.

And here is your first look at some of the fun:



Also from Mr. Craven we have 25/8.  Kind of a strange title and rumor is that it may be changing.  I kind of hope so.

What's this one about?  Glad you asked:

In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer.

Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thierot) was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his dad’s terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that’s returned, he must face an evil that won’t rest…until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.


And here's a couple stills from this one:

Even though it still does not yet have an official title Romero's latest venture into the world of the dead has wrapped production up north and they have already thrown together a teaser reel to start selling the project.

BD got their hot little hands on it and have been cool enough to share it with all of us.

CLICK HERE and check it out and then head on back and lets talk about it.

So, what did you think?  Kinda looks like more of the same to me.  As I stated with DIARY, George needs to find something new to show us about the dead.  He originated the modern zombie genre and now he needs to find a way to reinvent it.  Not sure that this one is going to do that.  But it looks OK.  Actually kind of looks like his last few films.

Lets hope that maybe the proof is in the story. 

We'll all have to wait and see.

For now this one is still going under the title of "...of the dead".  Looks like it might be sticking.

Trust me we'll have much more on this one very soon.

So it's directed by McG.  And so it's going to be PG 13.  Still everything I've seen so far has me pumped for this one.  Loved the teaser one sheet.  Also loved the teaser trailer and I like the looks of this:





May 22nd is the release date and here is the official synopsis for the project:

The film is about John Connor (Christian Bale), now in his 30's and soon to be wife Kate Brewster realize they must create a resistance organization with Earth's remaining survivors against the army of robots slowly being built up by Skynet. As they are building this resistance, one survivor happens to be a traitor in disguise, and has a secret that nobody would ever come to suspect.

Only about another week to go till we get to see this baby but for now you're going to have to suffice with yet another clip.

This one is actually a little dull but I think that they are trying to show us that not only is there blood and guts and terror but also a little suspense.  Compared to what we've seen though this one comes off a little slow.

We don't even get to see what's in the heart box.

Something tells me we will when the film opens and I have a feeling it ain't chocolates.

Enjoy the clip:
