The Box Videos

Why am I writing an intro article for a new edition of Dinner For Fiends when I could be playing Left 4 Dead 2? For that matter, why did we waste an hour recording a new Dinner For Fiends when we should have been playing Left 4 Dead 2? Well, we did. So if you're not playing Left 4 Dead 2 and can fit this podcast into your schedule, then join Uncle Creepy, Foywonder, Andrew Kasch, and Matt Fini as we talk about the most recent horrifying offerings. In this edition: • An opening tirade by yours truly • Uncle Creepy briefly tells us about The Box since he was the only one of us to see it • Uncle Creepy briefly tells us about The Fourth Kind since he was again the only one to see it • Everyone actually saw Saw IV • Continued amazement at the runaway blockbuster that is Paranormal Activity • Creepy and I extol the virtues of the gloriously ludicrous 2012 • Andrew Kasch talks movies he saw at AFM, including Rec 2 and a genuinely good Uwe Boll film • The greatness of Left 4 Dead 2 and the pure joy of setting Uncle Creepy on fire • ABSOLUTELY NO TWILIGHT/NEW MOON DISCUSSION WHATSOEVER!!! There's no Buz on this DFF, so expect downloads of the show in Mexico to increase dramatically. So put down your chainsaws and your grenade launchers and listen to Dinner For Fiends: Hits and Misses Part 2 - Countdown to Armageddon, before we send a Jockey to your house to hop on your head and force you to listen.

Occasionally you'll hear a movie branded as "criticproof," which I take to be a derisive term implying that the masses will flock even though the movie in question is garbage If there's an entire genre that may now get described as "criticproof" it's the disaster movie. No amount of bad reviews could keep people away from watching Roland Emmerich destroy the world anew in 2012, which made $65 million domestically and $225 million worldwide. The domestic numbers are comparable to The Day After Tomorrow which, among other things, ran 40 minutes shorter. The foreign numbers are even stronger. Those who've seen the movie shouldn't be surprised. Think of it what you will (it's probably my favorite Emmerich film, which is not saying a lot), but it's pretty incomparable as special effects spectacle. 2012 had the box office pretty well to itself this weekend. Its only new competition in even semi-wide release was Pirate Radio, which largely flopped despite the enthusiastic pimping of the Love Actually connection -- under $3 million on 880 screens. Faring better was Precious, which expanded to just under 200 screens and earned $6 million. With Precious and Paranormal Activity, this is proving to be a good season for slow roll-out platform releases; Precious seems to be doing a nice job of building awards buzz, too. As expected, A Christmas Carol turned out to be durable, still running way ahead of The Polar Express, and looking to get a bump from the Thanksgiving holiday in a couple weeks. Look for this one to stick around the top 5 for a little while. On the other hand, the reign of 2012 meant big hits for the holdover genre films, including The Fourth Kind, The Box, and Paranormal Activity. The box office chart after the jump.

It's always hard to believe it when filmmakers say they had never seen or heard of another, similar film when they made theirs. Such is the case with Black Button, a 7-minute short from some aspiring Australians made for a mere $200 featuring a well dressed man who offers a person $10,000,000 if he'll simply press a button, killing someone else in the process. Dark Heart Productions, the makers of Black Button, claim to have no knowledge of Richard Matheson's Button, Button, the Twilight Zone episode that inspired The Box, and in this particular case I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Their short has a very different ending and moral core than either incarnation of Matheson's story; and unlike The Box, at only a handful of minutes, Black Button doesn't have nearly enough time to spread itself too thin. Watch the short film over at SciFi Squad, then let us know which one you liked better: Black Button or The Box?Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Shorts, Trailers and Clips Permalink | Email this | Comments
