Let's Look At All The Gory Ways That The Punisher Kills People!
5 December 2008 6:08 AM, PST
Yes, yes. I know we're a "horror" site. But hell, if it's cool and we want to talk about something, we'll talk about it. Today, Punisher: War Zone hits theaters. Now, besides being a huge horror fanatic, I've also always been a huge comic book fan. In particular, I love the over-the-top crazy work of writer Garth Ennis. Hence I've always longed for a proper Punisher movie that captured his take on the character. Early word is that Punisher: War Zone isn't exactly a good movie, but it's definitely a gory good time. (As you can see for yourself below!)
So this weekend, I'm going to watch the big guy with the skull embol kill and punish criminals in the most violent and creative of ways. Watch this redband trailer and tell me that doesn't look like a ridiculously good time?
(My favorite moment is at the 50 second mark when

Yep, you read that right. Universal and studio-based Strike Entertainment are in negotiations with Les Mougins to secure the rights to remake John Carpenter's They Live, so says The Hollywood Reporter. The article continues, "The original film, part sci-fi thriller and part social satire, told the story of a down-on-his-luck construction worker (Roddy Piper) who discovers glasses that let him see aliens walking among us and controlling humanity. The man races against the clock to find a way to stop them. The movie is known for a fight scene (Roddy vs Keith David!) that lasts 5 1/2 minutes and for the line, 'I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.'"

Whoa. So Sony Home Entertainment made a sequel to the 1995 Sci-Fi/Horror Screamers? Apparently so! No, Peter Weller's not in this one, but it does have Lance Henriksen! And no it's not called Screamers 2, they're going by the title Screamers: The Hunting! Regardless, here's the synopsis and trailer below!
Screamers: The Hunting follows a group of humans from earth who arrive on Sirius 6-b to investigate an Sos signal sent out from the planet, which has been supposedly deserted since the destruction of the man-made weapons known as "screamers."
