Fantastic Fest 2010: MOTHER’S DAY Review

by Bill Graham    Posted: September 30th, 2010 at 1:35 pm

When the director of Saw 2, 3, and 4 decides to remake a B-movie horror, you expect some graphic and torturous kills and perhaps not much else. However, when you gather a talented group of actors and give him a good script, it appears you get a little bit more than what you pay for. That is exactly what Darren Lynn Bousman’s latest effort, Mother’s Day, proves, as he takes B-movie mechanics and surgically implants a backbone of drama that ends up being a surprisingly fun mixed bag. Join me after the jump for my full review.

Ryan Phillippe Joins the Many Names Under Consideration for CAPTAIN AMERICA

I have an exclusive announcement: I am under consideration for the lead role in The First Avenger: Captain America.  Well okay, not yet exactly.  But once they cycle through every young white male in Hollywood, they’ll get to my alliterative name.

The tale of super soldier Steve Rogers is one of the hottest untapped superhero properties on the market, so this is obviously a huge role for whoever lands it, but it’s getting difficult to keep track of all the contenders.  The first we heard, John Krasinski, Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter, Mike Vogel, Chace Crawford, Garrett Hedlund, and Jensen Ackles were all on the shortlist.  After a short-lived rumor that Krasinski was a lock came word that he was anything but; in fact, Tron: Legacy star Hedlund and Vogel (Cloverfield) made it to the top of the initial heap, now joined by Fantastic Four‘s Chris Evans.  To add to the confusion, Hitfix has another name for us that teases great things: Ryan Phillippe.  Details on what Marvel is trying to tell us after the jump.
