Every year, I watch ceremonies throughout the awards season with a degree of scepticism. I mean, it’s not that I don’t enjoy Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters and heartstring tugging epics…it’s just that I don’t care. Daniel Day Lewis is a brilliant actor, yes, but I genuinely feel that a child could film him, with a grainy black and white camcorder, sitting on a chair, eating cake slice after slice after slice, call it “There Will Be Diabetes” and he would still win Best Actor, just because the Academy hold him on such a high pedestal.
After the desolate wasteland of 2010 (The Crazies, and…?), 2011 has actually been a half decent year for horror movies: Kill List, Black Swan, Stake Land, Troll Hunter, Julia’s Eyes, Attack the Block (sort of), the first half of Insidious, the second half of Scream 4… But if early whisperings are to be believed, 2012 is going to be much better. LIST TIME.
The almighty Bruce Campbell – star of such epics as the Evil Dead trilogy, Bubba Ho-Tep and, um, Xena: Warrior Princess, is set to star in a sequel to his 2007 Indie cult classic My Name is Bruce, where the charismatic Campbell plays a warped version of himself.
One of the most criminally underrated films of the last ten years, Bubba Ho-Tep is an insane, fantastically crafted Horror-Comedy that’s almost impossible not to love.
