True Blood happenings

Later tonight True Blood returns for season three.  Werewolves are added to the mix and it is about time!  Timing is right too as Lycanthropes are all the rage right now.  Check out a trailer for season three below.  Also below is a new poster for Open House starring True Blood and real life couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.  Open House is direted by Annna Paquins brother, Andrew Paquin.  It will be Paquin's directoral debut and also stars the super sexy  Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica.   It is definitely worth a look just for Paquin and Helfer.

The Ninth Gate

From director Roman Polanksi and starring Johnny Depp, The Ninth Gate revolves around Depp playing Dean Corso who is basically a bounty hunter for rare books.  Frank Langella stars as Boris Balkan a wealthy collector who hires Depp to find a rare and powerful book, reputed to be written by the devil himself.  As he delves deeper into the satanic underbelly of Europe's elite, Depp gets drawn deeper into the dark side himself.  The idea of forbidden books and films that hold a power of their own has always been a popular subject with me so I admit to being a fan of this film.  I also am  a huge Johnny Depp fan and he plays the sleazy book finder  Dean Corso with his usual gusto.  The problem with The Ninth Gate is that it is just so slow.  The action is few and far between and scares are non existent.  the best parts of the film are Depp and Langella and the fact that Polanski doesn't have time to have sex with thirteen year old girls if he is busy directing.  If you go in expecting a real horror movie you will most likely be disappointed.  If you want a  fairly intelligent film or just want to indulge your Depp fix, then you might enjoy it

Ichi, Dracula and Captian Kirk

Ah, made a run to Best Buy tonight looking to get some older films.  I had some measure of success as I bought a four pack of Hammer Dracula films, Draculas 4 film favorites.














I also picked up a new Japanese film called Ichi.  This is no relation to the Takashi Miike film but a retelling of the Zatoichi legend with a female protagonist.  Haven't had a chance to watch it yet but the cover looks interesting and Zato Ichi is a great character.

















Last but not least I picked up the Star Trek Online video game to solidify my space in nerd heaven.

Wake Wood - Synopsis, pics and poster

Wow this movie really looks....a lot like pet Sematary. The poster does look sweet and the pictures are mildly creep. Plus it's umm shot in Ireland? That can't hurt.

 

Here's the synopsis

The film tells the story of Patrick and Louise Daley, whose nine year old daughter, Alice, is brutally killed in a frenzied dog attack. To escape their grief, the devastated young parents relocate from the city to the remote rural community of Wake Wood. Sensing their loss, the people of Wake Wood introduce the couple to a secret, pagan ritual that will allow them 3 more days with Alice before she is returned to the ground forever. But what will they do when it's time for Alice to go back?
