How to describe Novocaine... if I had to reduce it to its bare minimum, I'd have to say a slapstick gore fest of the highest order. The core premise is Nate Caine (Jack Quaid) has a neurological disorder where he can't feel pain and was subsequently sequestered by his parents who did everything they could to shelter him from the big bad world outside.
There are no spoilers to this film – it's a true story and we know how this ends. On September 5 in 1972 at the 20th Olympic Games, the first games held in Germany since the war ended 27 years earlier, terrorists belonging to Black September abducted eleven Israeli athletes in Olympic Village.
Okay, where to start with Gladiator II?
Let me preface all this by saying I'm a big fan of much of the early work of Ridley Scott. The Duelists is an incredible epic story based on history, Alien is a marvel of horror twisting sci-fi using the wind from Star Wars to shift the genre like one of Gieger's designs.
I'm not a huge horror fan; my tastes in the genre are very specific. If it's an Eldritch Lovecraftian tale, a lush gothic terror, or a pastoral folk horror? Count me in. Mainstream A-list stars and a hot TV actor/indie director making his first genre film using a flashy gimmick with lots of mainstream media buzz? Not interested.
Do you have a Twitter account, love horror movies, and and want to be one of the first people worldwide to have a chance to see Paranormal Activity 3? Well, then you're in luck, because Paramount Pictures has launched their first-ever global "Twee to See it First" contests to kick off the eagerly-awaited 3rd installment of the thriller franchise.
