Forgotten Films: Santa With Muscles

24 December 2009 12:20 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Forgotten Films [1] is a semi-regular feature on Film Junk where we explore interesting movies that have fallen off the radar or slipped through the cracks over the years. Everyone loves a good turkey around Christmas, so this week we've got a very special movie to satisfy that holiday craving: Santa with Muscles, the 1996 crapterpiece starring Hulk Hogan! Sometimes movies become "forgotten films" for a very good reason, and in the case of Santa With Muscles, it seems perfectly acceptable that the majority of the world is blissfully unaware of its existence. Still, with a ridiculous title like that, I felt compelled to seek out a copy and investigate further. It had to be good for at least a few laughs, right? In recent years we've seen plenty of WWE wrestlers make the transition to questionable acting careers, but many people forget that a handful of the popular '80s wrestlers »

Alabama Moon | Review

16 November 2009 10:52 AM, PST | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »

Director: Tim McCanlies Writer(s): Watt Key (novel, screenplay) Starring: Jimmy Bennett, Gabriel Basso, Uriah Shelton, Clint Howard Moon (Jimmy Bennett) and his Pap (J.D. Evermore) are living the Libertarian dream – Ayn Rand and Ron Paul would be proud of this duo – illegally homesteading in the backcountry of rural Alabama. Pap raises Moon to never trust anyone, especially the government. That’s all well and good until Pap dies, leaving eleven year old Moon all alone in the wilderness. Moon opts to foot it towards Alaska (the Libertarian, survivalist and secessionist Mecca). It is not long before the local constable (Clint Howard) – who must have learned everything he knows about policing from Roscoe P. Coltrane – and his hound dog are hot on Moon’s trail. Moon is apprehended and sent to a boy’s prison called Pinson, but his inner wild child cannot be held by any cage. Moon »

Aff Review: Alabama Moon

15 November 2009 6:00 PM, PST | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »

Austin filmmaker Tim McCanlies (Secondhand Lions, The Iron Giant) premiered his latest family-friendly film Alabama Moon during Austin Film Festival at the Paramount. Based on the coming-of-age novel by Watt Key, this film's plot tugs at the heartstrings, reminiscent of the Disney film Old Yeller and other family classics.

After the unexpected death of his survivalist father, 11-year-old Moon (Jimmy Bennett ), who was raised in the Alabama wilderness, must learn how to make his way in the modern world. Doing so isn't very easy, with a local law officer (Clint Howard) intent on making sure that Jimmy stays a ward of the state in a reform school. There Moon meets and interacts with other boys, including the bully Hal (Gabriel Basso) and sickly Kit (Uriah Shelton) who become his friends and cohorts on an escape.

AFF09 Daily Dispatch: Day Four

26 October 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »

Today is as much about what I didn't do at the fest, as the screenings itself. I overslept and miss the Hair of the Dog brunch and the Txmpa Incentives panel. I believe Debbie made it to the panel, so hopefully she'll be doing a writeup later. I did make it over the Driskill 1886 cafe for some lemony eggs benedict before heading to a screening that I ended up switching with Alabama Moon, so I had a lot of time on my hands today.

Alabama Moon, directed by Austin's Tim McCanlies, harkens back to the vintage Wonderful World of Disney films I used to watch on Sunday nights. Kid in trouble, the requisite mean and inept adults, the bully with a change of heart, and a few good and kind adults to bring about a happy ending. Austin favorite Clint Howard plays the constable who makes Moon's life really difficult after Moon's father dies. »

Austin, We Have a Problem: Aff Plans An Unbelievable Apollo 13 Retrospective!

8 October 2009 9:02 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

The Austin Film Festival, which kicks off on October 22, will be hosting quite possibly one of the coolest retrospectives that any space nerd could hope for. They will welcome director Ron Howard, his brother Clint, astronaut Jim Lovell and other very special guests to the Paramount Theater for a retrospective screening of Apollo 13 on Saturday, October 24th. The star-studded event will also include Apollo 13 screenwriters William Broyles Jr. and Al Reinert (who directed one of my favorite space docs of all time, For All Mankind), as well as Nasa mission control specialists Jerry Bostick, John Aaron and Sy Liebergot (who was played by Clint Howard in the film) -- all of whom worked in mission control during the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission. Most impressive of all is Jim Lovell (portrayed by Tom Hanks in the film), who was the mission commander and co-author of the book "Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13," upon »

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is the twisted tale of El Superbeasto (voiced by Tom Papa), a former world class masked wrestler with super human strength, who now finds himself in the very ordinary capacity as producer/director/star of BeastoWorld Enterprises.

From The Files Of Fangoria: Ticks When in Doubt Squish

7 September 2009 12:42 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

From the Files of Fangoria is a regular feature with observations on content discovered during the process of digitally archiving 30 years of press releases and photos received by Fangoria and previously kept in storage.

Just the other day, I found myself really missing the 1990’s.  Those glorious days of huge cell phones, slow computers, dayglow jackets, funny Simpson episodes, and Ticks.  The quintessential 90’s movie, 1993’s Ticks, is so 90’s it could be put in a time capsule for future generations to study. 

The cast is a fine parade of “I know someone famous” actors including: Alfonso Ribeiro, Peter Scolari, as well as brother Clint and father Rance Howard.  The characters themselves are a collection of stereotypes.  The tough street kid, Darrel ‘Panic’ Lumley (Alfonso “I’m nothing like Carlton” Ribeiro), exudes street wisdom as well as street justice from his Ray-Ban stare down to his Zubaz pants. The quiet loner with a troubled past, »

How will you watch Rob Zombie's El Superbeasto?

5 September 2009 1:04 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Remember the days when a movie came out in theaters, then you waited a year or so for it to come out on video (and going back a bit further, waited for it to be in on VHS or Beta, depending on which player you had), and then waited even longer for it to hit television?

With cable on demand and quick transitions to DVD, that timeframe has been completely destroyed for me. I watched Bobcat Goldthwait's superb film World's Greatest Dad (starring Robin Williams in a beautifully understated performance) on demand a couple of weeks ago. It's out in theaters this weekend.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Rob Zombie's The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. Zombie has a great, dark imagination, and the voice talent he's assembled for this animated feature is tremendous. Rosario Dawson and Paul Giamatti are the big names, and there is a »

Interview: Director Marc Fienberg on How to ‘Play the Game’ With Andy Griffith

27 August 2009 7:41 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – When Marc Fienberg, first time director/writer of ‘Play the Game,’ was casting the role inspired by his grandfather, little did he know he soon would be working with the film and TV legend Andy Griffith.

Rating: 2.0/5.0 Griffith joined other sitcom stalwarts – including Doris Roberts of “Everyone Loves Raymond” and Liz Sheridan, best known as Jerry’s mother on “Seinfeld” – in a contemporary romantic comedy.

David (Paul Campbell) is a hotshot car salesman. When it comes to women, he is a player that uses the “game” to score easy relationships. In encouraging his widowed grandfather (Griffith) to use similar techniques, he sets off a series of events that have them both learning lessons about love and connection.
