Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is a cult classic amongst ‘90s pop culture enthusiasts and Power Rangers fans. Even with its fairly standard ‘90s adventure movie plot, wherein the Rangers lose their powers and have to go on a mystical quest to gain new ones, the film still sticks in the mind. Main baddie Ivan Ooze chews all the scenery, there are some impressive fight scenes, and the Rangers save the day by kneeing a monster in the balls. Yes the CG is dated, the story doesn’t hold up to some of the better episodes of the show, and it’s not in continuity with the series but if you want to have a movie night with friends of a certain age, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is a solid watch.
While many love the film exactly as it is, it didn’t go from script to screen completely unchanged.

Minds Eye Entertainment has recently started working on a new project starring John Cusack and Christina Ricci, and it seems pretty interesting.
The film is called Distorted, and it's about an artist (Ricci) who suffers from bi-polar disorder, and who recently lost her child. She and her husband move into a high-tech apartment complex. The owner, however, might have some dark plans of his own for his tenants, involving subliminally controlling them, so Ricci asks for help from an investigative journalist played by Cusack.
It also will star Brendan Fletch and is written by Arne Olsen and directed by Rob W. King. Overall, it sounds interesting. A great deal will depend on the style of filming. I think a story like this with a cyber conspiracy could be a great idea, especially since there haven't been many of those movies as of late. We'll have to see when it is released.

A Groundhog Day-esque action drama, Repeaters is one of those films that will fly under the radar of many despite its impressive pedigree. Penned by Arne Olsen, who has one hell of a writing CV having worked on Red Scorpion, Cop and a Half and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie amongst many others, the film follows three troubled youths – Kyle, Sonia and Mike – at a drug-rehab center who, following an electric shock, end up repeating the same day over and over again. The trio quickly embrace their new gift, having all the fun they could ever want which includes committing crimes without any fear of reprisals.

Despite the fact that many critics predicted superhero movies were a fad that would quickly run its course, 2012 is likely going to be the biggest and best year yet for the genre, with The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises almost guaranteed to come in at #1 and #2 (though not necessarily in that order) at the box office this year. To satisfy the insatiable appetite of today's moviegoers for slick, intelligent, action-packed superhero thrill rides, most of the major studios are readying the next wave of superhero movies: Marvel Studios is currently in production on Iron Man 3 and in pre-production on Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier; 20th Century Fox is in pre-production on The Wolverine and the as-yet-untitled sequel to X-Men: First Class (Deadpool is still in limbo); Warner Bros. is in post-production on Man of Steel and developing movies based on The Flash and...

Another day, another big screen superhero adaptation announced – surprised? Well, don’t answer that just yet. The latest superhero to be granted an origin story won’t be obvious to us United States readers sporting patriotic Captain America fandom.
Screen Rant has just reported Mind’s Eye Entertainment, searching far and wide, have selected Arne Olsen to turn a fifteen page sample treatment into a full length feature screenplay for Canada’s answer to Captain America, Captain Canuck.

If Marvel Comics can do something as ridiculous as publish a star-spangled, nationalist hero called Captain America, then it doesn’t make any sense why somebody else can’t let their Canadian freak flag fly and publish a comic book called “Captain Canuck.” Or, at least, that’s what Comely Comix thought back in 1975 when they debuted the character. Though he’s remained something of an underground figure for these last few decades, the good Captain has been published sporadically all the way up through the 2000s, and now it’s looking like he might be making a super-sized jump to the big screen. The Vancouver Sun (via Cinema Blend) reports that Minds Eye Entertainment is looking to put a movie adaptation of the character’s adventures together, and they’ve hired screenwriter Arne Olsen to get the job started. Olsen was picked out of hundreds of candidates who sent in 15-page proposals for what Captain Canuck...

Casino Royale baddie Mads Mikkelsen has dropped out of an unspecified villain role in director Alan Taylor's Thor sequel.
Mikkelsen says he is committed to the upcoming NBC prequel series Hannibal - in which he plays the younger Dr Hannibal Lecter - and can't take on both projects.
Revealing that he was no longer involved with Thor 2, the 46-year-old Danish actor (pictured) told Zoomin TV: "That's not happening, unfortunately. I had a meeting with them, but they were a little too late. And then Hannibal came in, and everything just came in the same period, so now it's not happening."
Thor 2 starts filming in August and is released on November 8, 2013.
And while Marvel Studios also gave us Captain America, which has a sequel on the way, there are superheroic captains in other nations too, including Captain Britain.
But it's Canada's own Captain Canuck who's next heading to the big screen.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Canadian screenwriter Arne Olsen (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie) has signed on to write the live-action big screen adventures of Captain Canuck. Mind's Eye Entertainment are producing the adaptation which based is on Richard Comely's 1975 creation. This isn't the first time that the character has been optioned for either film or television, but definitely the closest it has come to actually happening. Three characters have worn the maple leafed costume of Captain Canuck. Described as a cross between Captain America and Flash Gordon, the first Captain Canuck patrols Canada in the (then) futuristic world of 1993, where "Canada had become the most powerful country in the world." He was the costumed agent of the Canadian International Security Organization (Ciso). [Wikipedia] Stories featuring the character have been published sporadically over the years, but he has developed something of a fan following nonetheless.

Rating: 7 out of 10
When it comes to making movies, Carl Bessai knows what he’s doing. The prolific filmmaker pumps them out on average of one per year and this year he’s outdone himself with not one but two films. One is a family comedy titled Fathers&Sons (a must for fans of dysfunctional family comedies) and the second of the duo and Bessai’s first foray into genre film making, is Repeaters, a film many have compared to Groundhog Day based on the premise alone but which has much more in common with Bessai’s previous films than with the comedic classic.

Henry’s Crime
After living in Buffalo the past four years, I was intrigued to see how director Malcolm Venville (44 Inch Chest) would capture the disparate lifestyle and rundown city with his latest feature Henry’s Crime. Starring Keanu Reeves, James Caan and Vera Farmiga in script from Sacha Gervasi (Anvil), he tells the story of a tollbooth worker who goes to jail for a robbery he was mistakenly involved with. After getting out of prison, he plans to do the crime he did the time for.
Venville attempts to balance comedy and drama with very little success. Keanu Reeves simply can’t pull off a dramatic performance. It’s impossible to buy his relationship with Farmiga. His lifeless demeanor matches the dry tone of the film. There is absolutely no style to be found here. What could have been the most interesting aspect, the actual “heist,” is done in...

Drips dropping backwards, long barren hallways bearing flickering fluorescents, flashbacks to childhood. Each beautiful, but together they compose the thoroughly unoriginal shot list with which Bessai begins his time-bending thriller.
A group of “friends” in rehabilitation focus on the banalities of the day-to-day: Kyle Halsted, a former drug dealer, has been distanced from his family for good reason; Sonia, 92 days clean, has an abusive father in the hospital; and Mike Weeks has his dad in prison for his efforts. Lonely and distanced from their pasts, they bind in a support system that consists of cigarettes and each other’s self-righteousness.
Screenwriter Arne Olsen’s premise is that following simultaneous electric shocks, the group repeats the same day over and over. Despite its brooding tone, the film can’t help but bear comparisons to Harold Ramis’ comedic masterpiece, “Groundhog Day.” Still, the audience for this film is probably a generation removed...

Repeaters Poster ArtWhat would you do if you woke up on the same day everyday? What would you do if everyday repeated? These are the types of questions asked of characters Kyle (Dustin Milligan, Sonia (Amanda Crew) and Weeks (Richard de Klerk) in the film Repeaters. These three are recovering drug addicts and they must make amends with family members who they have hurt through their drug use. This film is similar to Harold Ramis' Groundhog Day where life repeats until characters learn a lesson and readers can see Repeaters at the Toronto International Film Festival beginning September 13th. Have a read of the interesting premise below and take a peek at the film's trailer.
The synopsis for Repeaters here:
"On a random Wednesday, the residents of a rehab centre in Mission, B.C. are granted a rare one-day-pass to venture back into the world and make amends with those they have wronged.

Below is the trailer for Repeaters, a low-budget Canadian indie sci-fi flick. It's an interesting concept -- three reprobates, after being forced into a rehab program, find themselves repeating the same day, over and over. Each remembers the previous iteration of the day, and by making the trio slowly turn on each other, director Carl Bessai and writer Arne Olsen managed to inject a bit of freshness into the idea. Will it work? I have no clue. It stars Amanda Crew, who I find quite charming and was decent enough in the incredibly stupid, yet strangely entertaining Sex Drive, as well as Dustin Milligan anf Richard de Klerk. Bonus points for co-starring Emily Perkins (Juno, Ginger Snaps).
It looks intriguing. It apparently did well at the Toronto Independent Film Festival, too. Despite my general distrust of, disdain for, and aversion to Canadians, it's got promise. Take a look.
Yes, yes,...

Another film which is going to be premiered at Toronto International Film Festival has been previewed. "Repeaters" has got a promo trailer which follows three young outsiders whose days inexplicably repeat as they struggle to battle personal demons and addictions.
These three rehab patients are given a one-day pass to make amends with their families. Kyle tries to reconnect with his sister, Sonia avoids her ailing dad, who subsequently passes away, and Weeks sets off to see his violent father in prison. It's a terrible day for each of them, and they cannot find their way out.
While each have some degree of volition and are able to use this day to play out fantasies seemingly with no long term consequences, none has power to change the truth that tomorrow will be the same as yesterday. Ultimately, all are forced to make choices that will affect not only their lives...

I love Carl Bessai. The Canadian film maker is a bit of a superstar on the West Coast, making enough films in a year to rival Bruce McDonald and as Bruce sort of hit his stride with the release of Pontypool (review) (all of a sudden everyone and their mother knows about Bruce), I think Bessai is on the brink of a similar explosion, especially if Repeaters is as good as it looks and sounds and considering that Bessai is only getting better with each new film, I’d say the time to jump on the Bessai love bandwagon is now.
Written by Arne Olsen, Repeaters stars new Bessai regular Richard de Klerk (he appeared in last year’s Cole and also stars in Bessai’s upcoming Fathers&Sons), Dustin Milligan and Amanda Crew as three drug addicts who start experiencing a strange phenomenon while in rehab and no, it...
