Trick 'r Treat 2 not coming soon

That's a bit of sad news for us fans of the absolutely brilliant horror anthology Trick 'r Treat, but it's from the mouth of Legendary Pictures president Thomas Tull himself, so there you go.

Tull invited selected members of the media to a Hollywood press conference today (thanks for not inviting us, asshole) where a number of big projects were discussed, including a Warcraft movie, the latest from Michael Mann and something interesting about special ops guys fighting ghosts. You can read all about 'em here.

But what really caught our interest was mention of Trick 'r Treat 2, which horror fans have been demanding since the original masterpiece was poorly mishandled by Warner Bros. and dumped on DVD.

Tull acknowledged "People love it, it's something we talked about internally," he said. However, he mentioned the whole needing-a-really-good-story/stories thing and that, apparently, isn't happening anytime soon.

I wonder if the decision not to proceed with a sequel has anything to do with Warner Bros.'s lack of love for the first movie. Everyone I know who's seen Trick 'r Treat loves it, and it's cleaned up at festival screenings, but there's a lot of violence toward children in the movie. That makes studios nervous.

Hopefully writer/director Michael Dougherty gets the chance to bring Sam and the gang back one day.

    Some movies are not made for children and this is one of it. I think there are a big adult group out there that are sadden by this who love a good scary movie.

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e...

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo...
