James Franco has obviously remembered his quest for increasingly inexplicable performance art, because he’s following up his meta role on General Hospital with a guest spot on Nickelodeon‘s new primetime soap Hollywood Heights.

I have to say, my knee-jerk reaction was “What high executive signed on pothead James Franco to a kids’ network?” The only way I can envision James in relation to a children’s program is this Saturday Night Live digital short where he’s on the “Tizzle Wizzle Show.” It ends with mind-altering pills, blacklight, and bloodshed.

STARPULSE.COM DVD Review

Didn’t get enough Chromeskull kills and thrills the first go round?  Well, feast your bloodshot eyes on the intestine-filled prize that is the DVD release of “Chromeskull: Laid To Rest 2″ out from Anchor Bay Entertainment on Sept. 20.  Follow the river of blood leaking below!

The Flick: A notable follow up to the original “Laid To Rest,” which actually plays out better than the original film.  By adding a sort of society of killers angle to the Chromeskull legacy including one super and surprisingly effective Brian Austin Green (yes, he of the “Beverly Hills, 90210″ fame!) as a murderer-in-training and one cold-hearted secretary in the form of Danielle Harris, Director Robert Hall ups the story ante on his former mostly plot barren outing.  Though for genre fans the kills are likely to be the highlight with everything from super circular twisting knives in the mouth gags to severed heads gore galore.  Only reservation here is the inane handling of the case via a cast of inane and purposefully obtuse detectives that come off as stupid at every turn.  (Doesn’t anyone call for back-up anymore?!)  Not to mention that returning cast member Thomas Dekker looks more bored than a Marilyn Manson at a bingo game, but all else seems to be worth at least checking the chrome out a second time.

Best Feature: The decent featurette ‘A Cut Above: Creating ChromeSkull’ does have interesting stories of casting (Green and Hall met at the “Laid to Rest” premiere) and killing (seeing how it’s done does take away some of the fun though!) for fans of the genre.

Best Hidden Gem: The ‘Jump to Kill’ feature is one sick selection for those who solely crave repeating viewings of the bloodlust – enjoy you demented madmen!

Worth the Moola: This chrome dome follow-up is firmly worth a try – let’s just hope the final scene doesn’t lead to another Jason Takes Manhattan.

CHROMESKULL: LAID TO REST 2

Danielle Harris’ Among Friends Trailer

Horrormovies.ca

Written by: Deth_Banger

Danielle Harris’ upcoming flick Among Friends looks set to be absolutely killer, even if it does feature Kane Hodder’s dodgy dancing.  So here we have the official teaser trailer and so far, so goof from where I’m sitting, check it out below.

The film will star Chris Backus, Jennifer Blanc Biehn, AJ Bowen, Brianne Davis, Dana Daurey, Kamala Jones, Chris Meyer, Tanya Newbould and Danielle Harris.

Synopsis: “AMONG FRIENDS is a horror (and a comedy, depending on how twisted you are) about a dinner party gone wrong. Set against an 80s backdrop, the good time takes a dark turn when one in the group hijacks the evening in an attempt to help the others come clean about their secret betrayals against one another–and is willing to cut through the bone in order to expose the truth.”

‘Virgin’ territory Shooting for Rob Schneider’s new movie lights up Greektown – Adam Graham / The Detroit News

On a biting cold Tuesday morning, around the fountain on the Ingalls Mall on the University of Michigan’s Central Campus, a 20-person crew for the new Rob Schneider film “The Virgin on Bourbon Street” faced a somewhat unexpected task.

In addition to setting up cameras and hooking up other equipment, the bundled-up crew found themselves using brooms to clear snow from the bushes that flank an entrance to the Michigan League.

“It’s supposed to be fall, not winter,” explained producer Jason Price.

Great mention of Brianne on Artist Direct’s Review of PROM NIGHT.

The malicious Crissy perfectly represents that material world our high schoolers desperately aspire to. Davis also plays her with a sexy sense of evil. She of course is not the villain, that’s the dry Fenton, but she’s probably the film’s most vibrant character.

 

Check out the Variety Review

An in-name-only remake of the post-”Halloween” slasher pic that solidified Jamie Lee Curtis’ status as scream queen of the polyester era, “Prom Night” is a surprisingly effective teen-skewing thriller that soft-pedals graphic violence (in marked contrast to the R-rated 1980 original) while generating a fair degree of suspense. Well cast and solidly crafted, latest genre product from Screen Gems struck B.O. paydirt, taking in $22.7 million in its opening weekend as it clicked with teens — including couples preparing for their own senior-year celebrations — and early twentysomethings.

 

If you look like Brianne Davis, you’re used to getting attention from men., but the Georgia-bred actress wasn’t prepared for the kind long, quizzical stares she received on the set of Jarhead, director Sam Mendes’s darkly comic film about one Marine’s starnge experience in Operation Desert Storm. Davis says that when she arrived, Jarhead‘s mostly male cast-including Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx and Peter Sarsgaard-treated her like an unknown species from another planet. “Every time I walk in, I felt eyes on the back o my head.” says Davis. who plays Gyllenhaal’s girlfriend, Kristina, in the film. “I would turn around and they’d all wave like they’d never seen a woman before. It was like they were actually at war.” Meanwhile, sports fan Davis has found a distraction of her own: the driving range. “I love to go and hit golf balls for an hour or so. I’m awesome at it-I get all cocky and start talking trash. But then I get on the course and it’s like a joke. I’m awful.”
