Beetlejuice 2

As you've more than likely have heard at this point we are getting Beetlejuice 2 thirty five years after the original.

Honestly I'm feeling ambivalent about the whole enterprise. Is this something we really need and why???

Seriously thirty five years is a long time for a sequel to arrive, it really seems like an experiment more than anything.

Nonetheless here is the first image of Winona Ryder reprising her role as Lydia Deetz straight outta the set.

Beetlejuice 2 drops September 6th 2024.

Life Is But A "Scream"

I'll Be Back!
Ghostface

T.G.I.F! and all that stuff Minions. In case you haven't heard riding on the success of the current Scream movie, Scream 6 is shooting this summer and dropping in 2023!

Interestingly enough did you know Scream 2 turns 25 in 2023? Thus the sequel to the current reboot landing then seems like a coincidence...NOT!!!

Anyway suffice it to say Social Media is a buzz with all sorts of interesting concepts of what could happen when Ghostface next appears.

My personal favorite is since it was shown in the current Scream that Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere) from Scream 4 is still alive, fans are really pushing for her to comeback in the next one.

This idea is an intriguing one to say the least. 

What thoughts do you have on the upcoming Scream movie?

Saturday Sinema - Hellbound: Hallraiser II

Feel the burn... 🔥🔥🔥  

Picking up right where Hellraiser left off, Hellbound: Hellraiser II expands upon the terrifying universe created in Clive Barker's original film - taking the story into the very depths of Hell itself. Having escaped the clutches of Pinhead and the demonic Cenobites, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) awakens to finds herself detained at the Channard Institute, a hospital for the mentally ill. But her torments are far from over - the chief doctor at the institute is determined to unleash the powers of Hell to achieve his own twisted ends.

Halloween Kills

Revenge of the Nerd
Anthony Michael Hall

You knew it was inevitable after Halloween 2018 made $159,342,015 million at the domestic BO on a $10 million budget, coming at ya October 16, 2020 the f/u Halloween Kills...Yikes!

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a HUGE fan of the original Halloween and of the 2018 reboot. So what could make the news of this sequel even better? Well I was also a fan of John Hughes films as well and guess what? Perennial Hughes nerd Anthony Michael Hall is joining the cast as, wait for it...Tommy Doyle. 

For the uninitiated Tommy Doyle is the boy that Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode (who, duh, is of course returning) was babysitting in the 1978 original. 

The scene in Halloween 1978 where she tells Tommy Doyle to run across the street to the neighbor’s house is one of my favorites - it has an authentic urgency to it that still resonates with me to this day.

OK, my excitement meter for this follow up just rose to an insane level of anticipation!

Crack That Whip!

Meow!
Michaelle Pfeiffer

Woke-up to the Internet buzzing over Michelle Pfeiffer's latest post on Instagram a video where she coyly holds up a whip saying "look what I found, needs a little TLC" to her followers. That's correct minions it's the whip she brandished as Catwoman in Batman Returns twenty-seven years ago!!!

Although I found Tim Burton's sequel to Batman better than his original outing the movie was mainly villain centric. With Pfeiffer taking center stage with her tour de force as the feline femme fatale.

Michelle Pfeiffer
as
Catwoman

IMHO nobody has ever done it better, Catwoman that is than her. She to me is the definitive CW. Her performance skirted the edge of over the top, loony, sexy, insane and flat out outrageous while still being real and grounded. Her Catwoman was in short a one of a kind creation.

Gushing much? Why "yes" I am. 

Have a bootylicious Saturday, I know I plan to. On that naughty note I leave you with these immortal words...

"I am Catwoman, hear me roar!"

Halloween 2018

Halloween 2018

So this weekend, like many, I saw the current incarnation of Halloween starring the fantastic Jamie Lee Curtis. What a clever idea it was to abolish all the other sequels and make a direct one to the original 40 years later.

While I don't review movies I would like to give you my thoughts on this one. To put it enthusiastically this is the sequel that the original 1978 Halloween deserved/deserves!

Every little thing about it is just right from the atmosphere to the tone. Jamie Lee Curtis is dead on as traumatized woman suffering from PTSD. Too bad they don't nominate performances from these types of films for an Oscar, since Jamie Lee deserves one for it!

Behind You! Behind You!
Jamie Lee Curtis & The Boogeyman aka Michael Myers

This movie is also quite meta, there are many references to the 1978 classic as well as a wink and a nod to Halloween III: Season of the Witch - "yes" some kids wear the Silver Shamrock masks while out and about tricking peeps for treats.

Michael Myers is still as terrifying as ever and I just loved this movie! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

There is only one quibble I have with it. The "New Loomis" what was up with that cornball fake accent? Seriously?! 

I give Halloween a five knifes up, out of five!

The Horror: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

Who Does Your Eyebrows?
Janet Leigh

Leaving one of the most indelible impressions of any horror film in history Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho is a classic that has endured through the generations. It has spawned three sequels, one remake and a prequel TV series, Bates Motel which is coming up on it's fifth and final season. 

Nothing had ever been seen on the silver screen before like Janet Leigh's shower scene death as Marion Crane. Not only was it shocking in it's brutality it was the first time a protagonist had been killed off in the first thirty minutes of a movie.

So for a Halloween treat I have decided to post a montage of images from one of my favorite horror movie deaths of all time, the "shower scene" from Psycho for you to savor. 

T.G.I.F! 

Help Me!

Watch Out!

Submit! Kim Basinger

I'm Going To Bridle You In And Make You Submit!
Kim Basinger

It has been a while since we have seen Kim Basinger in a high profile film project. Quite frankly I have missed seeing this ageless beauty who still turns heads at 62 on the silver screen. 

When the casting people for Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey (duh!) were looking to cast "a beautiful older blonde who oozes sex appeal and seduction" as Christian Grey's business partner and former love interest who introduced him to the world of S&M, well who are you gonna call? Kim Basinger!

Translation for all you Fifty Shades fanatics, Kim is playing Elena Lincoln.

Destiny I say. After all Kim played a submissive art dealer in the S&M themed 9 1/2 Weeks to Mickey Rourke's dominant.

Well now she gets to have the upper hand in Fifty Shades Darker.

Take us to your dungeon Mistress Kim!

Tara Reid Jumps The "Sharknado"

Hi I'm Tara Reid and I Can Smell Your Shark

When I saw this item this morning while surfing the Internet I could not believe my eyes at first, but then the coffee kicked in and I realized my glasses are working just fine...

"Yes" Tara Reid is taking the "Sharknado" experience one step further by introducing a fragrance inspired by the natural disaster Syfy Network movie and it's sequel called Shark by Tara.

What do you have to say for yourself Tara? 


"It’s a light and refreshing perfume perfect for day-to-day wear. It also incorporates a plethora of ‘lavender’ colored flowers, which is my favorite color"

So if you want to give off a scent like Tara Reid's take on what an actual "Sharknado" might smell like, then this is for you all of you shark fans...

Romy & Michele - It's Time For Another Reunion

Give Us A Sequel, Or We Kidnap The Mouse

It's been 17 years since Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, That's correct, 17 whole long years since Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow cracked our collective asses up!

Wow time flies, but if memory serves me, High School Reunions happen every 10 years, so these two are overdue for another kick ass time at the place of their awkward years.

Sorvino says that she and Kudrow as well as the movie's creator and writer, Robin Schiff, want to do a sequel to the 1997 cult favorite, but Disney doesn't seem to agree.

"Disney, if you're listening—everybody wants it!" states Sorvino, "Me and Lisa and Robin would love to do a sequel. We have asked Disney before. It's Disney that has to decide to say yes."

 Mira further extrapolates  "I don't think they realize what a cult phenomenon it has become. I mean, people dress up as us for Halloween!"

That's right Haus of Mouse, we want to know what happened to these two icons post their ten year reunion, Mickey can you hear us?!

Were here were Romy & Michele fans, deal with it!

I for one would love to see this happen, oh and a note to the Haus of Mouse, if you have not had green cheese before (although I am 100% sure you have)  there will be plenty if you grant fans of this awesome movie their wish.

When you wish upon a star...

Demand this sequel!
