On Christmas, Jack Black and Paul are starring in Anaconda, which is a movie about two men making a movie about 1997’s Anaconda.
Well, when The Asylum heard that, they decided to make their own movie about the mega snake, The Anacondas.
In South America, explorers search for the last remaining city of an ancient city that worshipped snakes. After many failed attempts, they finally uncover the ruins, buried under a massive pile of snakes and their nests. Still, it’s a discovery worth celebrating – until they realize the massive snake the culture viewed as a God is still alive and constantly growing without any known predators — and no human sacrifices in centuries. The science team becomes an unwitting offering as the largest anaconda in history as it kills them one by one.
Personally, I find that The Asylum’s takes are better than the movie that is going to the big screen. However, this time, I don’t think they will be successful. But I still think it will be fun to watch.
Universal released the first trailer for The Odyssey today, and we got to see if Christopher Nolan’s film is living up to the hype.
The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX® film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX® film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.
The Odyssey stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and my friend’s grandson.
While this movie is not for me, I am happy it will be bringing people back into the movie theaters. And we need a lot more of them, like Avatar, Wicked, and Superman.
Horror is being taken over by Public Domain characters like Winnie-the-Pooh, Mickey Mouse (Steamboat Willie), and Popeye, to name a few.
The latter was the star of several 2025 movies, including Shiver Me Timbers. It did so well that the Sailor Man is getting a sequel with his love, Olive Oyl, and they will be joined by Tarzan and Betty Boop. That is, if enough people support Alpake Entertainment’s IndieGoGo.
The sequel’s plot is: Weeks after the shocking events of Shiver Me Timbers, Popeye lands in New York and goes on a brutal killing spree in Little Italy, tearing through the local mafia’s ranks. Olive Oyl, now armed with a bionic, super-powered hand, travels to the city to avenge her brother’s death. Her journey leads her straight to the mafia boss’s nightclub, where she unexpectedly bonds with sultry singer Betty Boop.
Meanwhile, Father Flannigan and Sister Mary deliver exciting news to Mafia boss, Don Sangue: his long-lost son, now a grown man, has been found after disappearing as a child during a vacation in the jungle. However, while attempting to rehabilitate him, he escapes, tackling Popeye and taking a puff from his legendary pipe. The result? He transforms into a savage beast man, forging a twisted alliance with Popeye.
Now, Olive and Betty, with a little help from the mafia, must face the monstrous duo before it’s too late.
If that sounds like something you want to see, then contribute here.
Betty Boop, Blondie, and Pluto join the Public Domain. I can’t wait to see a ravenous Pluto go on a rampage.
Shiver Me Timbers is streaming for free on Hoopla, Plex, Tubi, and Fandango.
For over 30 years, we have been dancing to Rednex’s Cotton Eye Joe. But what if we were screaming at it?
Not as in singing the lyrics, but because Cotton Eye Joe is the legendary killer in a Horror movie.
Commercial director Nick Merola is asking for help to make that happen on Kickstarter.
It is described as: When four friends break down on a deserted country road, they seek refuge on a remote farm, only to awaken the brutal legend of Cotton Eye Joe, a relentless killer tied to the land’s dark past. As night falls, survival becomes a desperate game of cat and mouse in this backwoods slasher.
If you want to see where did he come from? Where did he go? Where did he come from, Cotton Eye Joe? Then help contribute so that he can reach his goal of $100,000. You know you want to make it happen as much as I do.
I really hope he gets Rednex to donate a few bucks to the cause.
If he raises the money, CEJ will film this Spring and be released the following year.
Labubus have taken over the world by storm, and I don’t know why. While I don’t get. Sony does, so they are making a movie about whatever the fuck those things are, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But I have a feeling by the time the movie comes out, they will be a distant memory like Cabbage Patch Babies, Pound Puppies, Beanie Babies, Furbies, and Sea Monkeys. And that is not a bad thing.
