Red Sonja vs. The Army of Darkness #1

/ / Comics

Mashing up two franchises, as Dynamite Entertainment is want to do, we get Red Sonja vs. The Army of Darkness #1 which opens in the present with a despondent Ash Williams thinking back on his glory days (as seen in Army of Darkness). This leads to a little researching about the time period he left and an attack by a She-Devil with a Sword which he chooses to try and prevent by pulling out a very different book and traveling back to what he thinks will be the world he left.

Scream Sunday takes us back to the world of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) in the worst movie (at least so far) of the 30 year-old franchise. The characters feel far too long-in-the tooth at this point as the film goes extra-hard with Stab parody sequel cameos (featuring the likes of Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Shenae Grimes, and Lucy Hale) and new Ghostface killings (this time with the killer filming their own murders) while limping to an unsatisfying twist ending that ties in social media feeding narcissism and fame-seeking without delivering a satisfying conclusion.

Scream Sunday takes us back to when the franchise first hit its rough patch. Rather than offer another sequel, Scream 3 attempts to reshape the three Scream films into a cohesive trilogy retroactively allowing for the film to dive into new rules to abide and reframing the events of the original Scream to reveal a hidden backstory for Maureen Prescott with ties to all the murders. The film brings Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) out of seclusion to the set of Stab 3 (a movie supposedly about the Woodsboro murders making you wonder how the previous two movies, also about those events, didn’t already cover all of this?) where a new Ghostface (Roger Jackson) is killing victims in part to draw Sidney out into the open.

Death of a Unicorn

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Death of a Unicorn
  • IMDb: link

I’ve spent worse times in theaters than rooting for a family of yuppie scumbags to be killed by unicorns. A borderline guilty pleasure, Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega star as Elliot Kintner and his daughter Ridley. Elliot has just gotten his big break working for the uber-wealthy Leopold family (Richard E. Grant, Téa Leoni, and Will Poulter). However, on the way to their outrageously plush cabin in the middle of a wilderness preserve, Elliot hits a unicorn with his car (which he unsuccessfully attempts to hide from his hosts).

Hitting theaters less than a year after the original, Scream 2 has all the marks of a sequel including bigger, gorier, and more over-the-top kills all while shoehorning in even more notable faces and cameos as the franchise follows Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) to college where the release of the movie Stab (loosely based on the events of the first film) lead to a new Ghostface (Roger Jackson) hunting Sidney, Randy (Jamie Kennedy), Dewey (David Arquette), and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) along with new faces such a sorority girl Cici (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Sid’s roommate Hallie (Elise Neal) and new beau Derek (Jerry O’Connell).
