Sophie: A Dark Angel – A Lesson We Can All Learn
From:  filmshaft.com
I just had to write about this the moment I finished watching it. It’s a message I feel needs to be heard and one I hope will be taken seriously. While walking through Stubbylee Park in Lancashire with her boyfriend in 2007, Sophie Lancaster was brutally attacked by a vicious mob. She suffered severe head injuries and went into a coma. Sadly, Sophie never regained consciousness and later died from the attack. Sophie had committed no crime to suffer such punishment, she was murdered simply be... Read Full Story

You could have heard a body drop when news reached the Filmshaft office that Dagenham was hosting a cauldron of gangster violence, sexual deviance and the supernatural. “What’s the story there? Why don’t we go the whole hog and report on the f—king local buses?” was just one response but when Filmshaft informed Ed Whitfield that there were vampires and free sandwiches involved, his mood changed. “I suppose I could go and take a look…” It’s a freezing cold November morning in Dagenham, East ...

LEGION
If there weren’t enough biblical, end of the world films around at the moment then there is one more that should be top of everybody’s list, and that my friends, is LEGION. Starring Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Adrianne Palicki, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson and Kevin Durand, Legion is a kick-ass God vs Us film in which mankind’s only hopes rest with the fallen angel Michael.

From:  filmshaft.com
Three brand new clips have hit our desk for former Bond girl, Eva Green’s latest film – CRACKS, also starring María Valverde, Imogen Poots, Ellie Nunn, Adele McCann, Zoe Carroll and Clemmie Dugdale.

However, the New Moon and “The Golden Compass” director has indeed addressed the negative reviews for his sharp-fanged flick which have swamped the net since the movie’s release on 20th November. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Weitz had a very simply explanation for why certain critics were not taken with Edward, Bella... Read Full Story
The Amityville Horror Remake (Again?)
From:  filmshaft.com
It seems The Amityville Horror, already re-vamped in 2005 by Andrew Douglas and starring Ryan Reynolds, is up for a fresh remake. Hollywood really is scraping the barrel marked: remake, these days. So what can we expect? The house done up with a fresh coat of blood? Probably. Bloody Disgusting reports the Weinstein Company and their horror wing Dimension Films have acquired the rights. The 2005 version did more than reasonable box office: to the tune of over $100 million. It gave Ryan Reyno... Read Full Story
