Trailer Park: Just Winging It

Although I generally prefer my wings with hot sauce and blue cheese, we're looking at a different type of wing here. This week we're looking at movies that are joined together by the common theme of winged creatures, so one might say we're Just Winging...

Zack Snyder is Still Raising an 'Army of the Dead'

by Jessica Barnes

You know, sometimes it's like the universe wants to prove you wrong. No sooner did I make one little offhand comment that Zack Snyder had probably abandoned his follow-up to Dawn of The Dead when his wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, tells Shock...

Awake has an interesting premise but would have benefited from tighter performances and more efficient direction and editing.

Actually when I started watching this, I didn't know what it was about, not even the genre - and then I realized it was a dude awake during his surgury. I was like...WTF? I didn't want to watch some... dude's travel's in his mind while under anesthesia. So I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when the plot started revealing itself. It was completely unexpected because I had no idea where they were going. This taught me something. I am never going to watch another preview or read another review prior to seeing a movie. They so pre-set your mind. I ended up really liking this film I don't think I would have if I had known what was going to happen...or even known that it was a semi-thriller. Anyway, good flick overall. Full Review

British fellow by the name of Joby Harold wrote and directs this psychological thrillerstarring Jessica Alba, Hayden Christensen, and Terrence Howard. The movie begins with a zoom in close up of the... main character, Clay Beresford(Christensen) who is taking a bath. As he ducks his head from under the water, he is greeted by none other than a scantily clothed Jessica Alba, who plays his love interestSamantha Lockwood. There is some lovey, dovey, dialog, followed by her, as you may have suspected jumping in the tub with him for some serious fun, then the story begins. Beresford(sounds like a cattle brand) is a yuppie billionaire who heads a big corporationthat buys and merges other companies. As it turns out he needs a heart transplant ASAP and is awaiting a donor. Ironically, he is friends with Dr Jack Harper (Terrence Howard) a Heart Surgeon who will be performing the transplant. His mother Lilith Beresford played with class by Lena Olin, helped start the corporation with her late husband and initially is not aware that Clay and Samantha are an item. A healthy heart is located and the surgery is scheduled, as he is a O- blood type, like ME, and it takes a year or more to find a donor. At this point in the movie, Clay decides to confront his Mother about his love for Samantha and they are married the night before his surgery. Lilith is adamantly against the marriage and Dr Harper performing the transplant. She wants her son in the hands of the most famous Heart Surgeon around, Dr Jonathan Neyer, played by Arliss Howard, but the 22 year old Clay is getting a bit rebellious and trusts his friend Dr Harper to do the transplant. Right from the beginning of the surgery, something seems a bit odd to Clay. First off theregular anesthetician calls in sick, so a substitute is brought in. This character, Dr Larry Lupin, is played by the Professional actor Christopher McDonald. He is given the knock out Juice, but for some reason it does Full Review
