The Orphanage
2008-04-07 14:54:00 The Orphanage - From wikipedia.orgThe mother battling against the supernatural for her child has become something of a staple in modern horror cinema. 'Dark Water', 'Silent Hill', 'The Dark', 'The Others' and 'Ring' are all recent examples. 'The Orphanage', directed by J.A. Bayona, though 'presented' (produced) by Guillermo Del Toro (of 'Pan's Labyrinth' fame), is yet another entry in this mini-genre. In its tale of a woman who apparently loses her son to the ghostly children of an old orphanage and must endure the worst in an attempt to rescue him, its story might seem to be a little tired. But is it?Besides the aforementioned, the list of movie references here goes on and on. There's 'The Innocents' (adapted from Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw') and Del Toro's own 'The Devil's Backbone' and 'Pan's Labyrinth'. Of recent films, it most closely resembles 'The Dark' with its seaside location and a lead who even resembles that earlier film's ...
Score!
2008-04-01 18:33:00 From www.scifi-universe.comI have to say it again, a great score by a great composer can raise a film to a whole new level. Just watched yet another Twilight Zone episode, "Nightmare as a Child" (there's 156 or so of them, so I still have a lot to get through). Right from the opening you notice the music, very reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's works. Just like Morricone (remember 'Once Upon a Time in the West' or 'Once Upon a Time in America'), it used a childhood style and theme to put the past into the present, very much in keeping with the story. And who was it? Jerry Goldsmith, of course! Though he wrote only a handful of scores for the series, you notice every one. Excellent!A day or two back too, I watched 'Little Girl Lost'. You know it's a classic when 'The Simpsons' use it as the basis for an episode (like 'The Shelter' or 'To Serve Man'), and 'Little Girl Lost' serves as the basis for Homer's experience in the Third Dimension. It's also written b...
Richard Matheson
2008-02-18 03:38:00 Richard Matheson, I am Legend and its theatrical releasesby Steven WilliamsRichard Matheson is the author of the novel I am Legend, on which the 2007 film of the same name is loosely based. The book has been used to produce four films, three for theatrical release (The Last Man on Earth, 1964; The Omega Man, 1971; I am Legend 2007) and one straight to DVD release (I am Omega, 2007). While the straight to DVD release is not particularly important, the three theatrical releases, their difference among themselves, and their differences from the author's original novel make for some interesting discussion of book to film adaptations. Matheson was born in New Jersey in 1926, the son of Norwegian immigrants. In 1949 he received an bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri. In 1951 he moved to California where he married in 1952. The couple had four children, coincidently three of them going on to become writers themselves.Matheson's professional writing career beg...
Review: I Am Legend
2008-01-17 14:56:00 Hmmm. I finally got round to seeing the recent film adaption of I Am Legend starring Will Smith. I have to admit I was nervous as to what Hollywood had done to one of my favourite books, I’d avoided other, earlier, adaptions for that reason. And quite understandably the film has taken liberties with set up ...

The Omega Man
2007-08-10 21:09:00 Hace unos meses expresé mi curiosidad por conocer alguno de los precedentes de "Soy leyenda" pelicula pendiente de estrenar por Will Smith basada en la novela homónima de Richard Matheson. Al final, he sacado hoy un hueco para "The Omega Man" protagonizada por Charlton Heston en 1971. Con un toque totalmente setentero (incluidos peinados afro y la banda sonora) y no demasiado fiel al original literario, no deja de ser un entretenimiento curioso. Es facil imaginarse al Chartlon Heston como el último hombre en la tierra (*), y la verdad es que borda el papel: rozando la locura en algunos momentos y dominado por el racionalismo en otros. Me gustaron también las alegorias al fanatismo religioso y el fuego purificador. Como he encontrado el trailer en YouTube, he decidido compartirlo:Enlace a este video en YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mbdVB0YZcRUY como no, incluyo también el trailer de la versión de Will Smith, que se estrenará en Diciembre.Enlace a este video en YouTube: http...
