That was a weak headline. I acknowledge it right out the gate. I blame the lack of coffee this morning. I really do. All kidding aside, the two legendary stars do appear in the upcoming thriller Red Handed, which tackles the all-too-real nightmare of child abduction. Adding to the film's pedigree is the presence of producer Nick Cassavetes. The plot itself holds promise; when their father is murdered, three brothers descend on an Oregon mountain to spread his ashes. After they arrive, one of their children goes missing. One of the brothers was himself abducted when they visited this same river 30 years ago, but he's blocked the incident from his mind. Only by unlocking the mysteries inside his subconscious, will they be able to find the child and return him to safety. Check out the trailer: Christian Madsen, Owen Burke, Ryan Carnes and Kenzie Dalton also star. Red Handed hits DVD and Digital Dec. 3. Source: High Octane Pictures

It's official, Terminator : Genesis has its Kyle Reese , and he will be played by A Good Day to Die Hard 's Jai Courtney . Courtney joins Emilia Clarke (Sarah Connor), Jason Clarke (John Connor) and the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger in the new flick, which is intended to kick off a trilogy of Terminator films.

The Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez 70s throwback Grindhouse didn't do well at the box office. But, for those movie geeks who saw it, the three hours plus (with fake previews) trashy double bill was a rare gem. Watching Grindhouse in a theatre is still one of my Top 5 favourite movie theatre experiences. Too. Much. Crazy. Fun. Of the two flicks, I remember Rodriguez's Planet Terror being the stronger. Tarantino's Death Proof was just too yappy. How does Planet Terror hold up six years later? Stick with me. After an experimental bio-weapon is released, turning thousands into zombie-like creatures, it's up to a rag-tag group of survivors to stop the infected and those behind its release. In short, yes it does. Planet Terror is a gory good time with over-the-top violence, a stellar cast (talking about YOU Jeff Fahey , Michael Parks , Michael Biehn , Bruce Willis , Marley Shelton and Josh Brolin ) and more than a few scenes that remind us Rose McGowan is h...

I know what I want under the Christmas tree next year, and I don't care if I'll be . . . too old for toys. Wanna fight about it!?! Toymaker NECA unveiled today the first images of their upcoming Aliens action-figure line, and they are bad to the ass! The figures include Hicks, who was played by Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton's Hudson and an alien warrior. Hicks and Hudson are nearly 7″ tall, feature over 30 points of articulation and come with multiple heads. I'm sooooo glad they included the "Game over, man. Game over" look! As for the alien warrior, it’s 9″ tall and has more than 30 points of articulation, including a bendable tail, hinged jaw, and sliding inner mouth. NECA's Aliens line is expected to hit a toy store shelf near you in the spring. Props to Collider for finding these bad boys!

Bereavement Jason: Prequels rarely work, and this is another example of why. If you've seen the superior Malevolence, then you know the entire plot of Bereavement is laid out in that film's final five minutes. There's just not enough story to sustain the hour and 45 minute running time. Fortunately the last 40 minutes or so play like gangbusters with suspense and a bloody climax where almost everyone dies (spoiler alert). Stevan Mena wants to be John Carpenter, right down to composing his own music, but he needs to work on his scripts a bit more. A Bad for me. Shawn: Here's a movie that has the elements of a good horror film, but it could have been creepier, scarier and darker. It tried though. Yet, in the end, it just didn't do it for me. And for the love of all things horror, maybe you could show us a little more gore. JUST blood no longer counts. Wanna split someone's head open with a shovel? Might as well show me. You wanted to be bloody, didn't you?...

I don't know anyone who loves apocalyptic movies like my bro Shawn. Hell, as Bad Man Inc., he composed a whole heavy metal album about the decline of society. Well, it looks like director Xavier Gens and writers Karl Mueller and Eron Sheean listened to dude's album prior to making The Divide, a new end-of-the-world thriller from Anchor Bay. The film  follows a group of people who lock themselves in a fallout shelter below an apartment in New York after a devastating explosion. Not only do they have to contend with each other, but there's another threat looming in.  It looks like a dozy of a tale given the trailer below. None of Anchor Bay's films ever achieve a wide release, but the quality of their productions gives me hope the final film will be as effective as the preview. The Divide stars Lauren German, Michael Biehn and Milo Ventimiglia. Check out the trailer and sound off!

The 2004 low-budget slasher movie Malevolence was one of those hidden gems we enjoy here in The Basement, in case you haven't noticed. Now it's time for the prequel and we've got the trailer for yah below. The first film, written and directed by Steve Mena, dealt with a trio of bank robbers who take a mom and daughter hostage and hide out at an abandoned farm house. The only problem is a soulless killers happens to live nearby. Malevolence actually took some time to set up a back story for the killer, which is where Bereavement comes in. The film is a horrific account of the kidnapping of six-year-old Martin Bristol, the first film's villain, and his slow and steady descent into the killer he eventually became. Mena is back on board for this one, and it features the great Michael Biehn as Bristol's dad. Prequels rarely work, but I will give Bereavement a watch strictly on the strength of the first film. Bereavement hits theatres in a limited release next mon...
