Bury Yourself in Buried: Buried Movie Review

Although it hits select theaters today, you might not get to see the buried-alive thriller Buried until it gets a wide release on October 8. When you get the chance, though, take it. I can’t guarantee you’ll like it (judging by the audience I was in, it’s pretty polarizing), but it’s a unique experience, the sort of inventive filmmaking you rarely see in a major studio release.

Disturbia Writer to Pen a Goosebumps Movie?

Columbia pictures is moving ahead with plans to adapt the Goosebumps series of horror-themed adolescent books into at least one movie — and no doubt more, given the franchise’s 100-plus entries and spin-offs. Prolific author R.L. Stine — a sort of Stephen King for the pre-teen crowd — won’t be penning the script, however.

There’s no word on which book the movie will adapt, if any, nor what the target date for release would be.
