Classic Review: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

by Armando Vanegas

I don’t think I ever stopped loving Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in all my time on this earth and if I ever change my pick for my all-time favorite movie, please have me checked out at the nearest hospital because my body was most likely taken over by a body snatcher. I admit there was maybe a short window of time where a part of me that wondered if it wasn’t just nostalgia masking what I might have really felt as there was a lengthy amount of time between viewings then. But the truth is as I got older and I finally revisited it, I still had the same amount of fun that I had growing up with it. It’s still as exciting and exuberant as it was the first time. You guys, this movie holds up a lot on repeat viewings.

The Emmy®– and Golden Globe-winning comedy series CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, starring Larry David, will return to HBO for its ninth season, it was announced today by Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming. Details of the new season will be announced as they are confirmed.

“We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of CURB and can’t wait to see what he has planned,” said Bloys.

Asked why he decided to come back, David said, “In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, ‘I left, I did nothing, I returned.’”

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM stars “Seinfeld” co-creator David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his life. With 80 episodes to date, the show is HBO’s longest-running scripted comedy or drama series. David also starred in and co-wrote the 2013 HBO Films presentation “Clear History.”

Review – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

Sequels can either go two ways, they are improvements over the original or extreme downgrades.  The new “Turtles” movie falls somewhere in the middle.    On the bright side, the sequel is much more relaxed and embraces its silliness, which in turn, makes it mindless fun.  Unfortunately, on the flip side, it still has work to do and needs to learn how to prevent the silliness from turning into mind numbing stupidity because for a while it succeeds as pure entertainment.

EXCLUSIVE: Logan sits down with Andy Powers, the star of CLOWN

UPDATE: Clown is now the #1 Horror download on iTunes! Be sure to check it out ASAP!

Clownimage

When it comes to a horror films these days, we are filled with reboots and reimaginings of our favorite films, but every so often there is a film that makes a dent in the genre. Clowns have been interpreted in this genre as the ultimate antagonist that will haunt your dreams and never let you go. This entity has been portrayed in the film industry for many decades and is one thing that almost everyone can agree upon, which is the sheer terror that coincides with Clowns.  I am one of those people that has Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns). Director Jon Watts and Eli Roth put together a film that is not only extraordinary, but quite brilliant in it’s own sense. Clown is a film that focuses on the man I am interviewing today, Andy Powers, and the transition from a loving husband and father, to a possessed demon that feasts on young children.  If that isn’t traumatizing, I don’t know what is.  Today, I sat down with the veteran actor to talk about this film, the transition into this blood thirsty clown, and his upcoming work. You may recognize him from TV, film, or theatre, but this is a film that he should be recognized for the most and looked at for many years to come.  It is my pleasure to introduce Andy Powers!
