Since The Asylum doesn’t have something to release at the moment, Full Moon Pictures has graciously stepped up and given us Bad CGI Gator. With a self-referential title designed to deflect criticism of its shortcomings, I really can’t say I was expecting much, and maybe because I had such low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised.
Somewhere in Georgia, a group of friends, Sam, Hope, Chad, Sarah, Pearce and Paisley are planning a Spring Break blowout.
Those plans include tossing their school laptops into the lake for a video they hope will go viral. Instead, it somehow transforms a tiny alligator into a huge, hungry beast. And it’s not just huge, it’s somehow been granted the powers of bad CGI such as the ability to move without touching the ground,...

Morgan Freeman in director Michael Mailer’s suspense tale The Minute You Wake Up Dead. Courtesy of Saban Films.
The Minute You Wake Up Dead is a title that looms as ominously as it plays for a concept that aptly grows in levels of menace as this quiet, twisty suspense tale unfolds.
The setting is a small, less-than-wealthy Southern town. An investment broker (Cole Hauser) has done well by his fellow citizens in the past, but has just cost a whole lotta folks a whole lotta money when a huge deal he’d touted fell apart, making their extremely non-discretionary funds evaporate.
We meet him as he enters the local diner to icy stares from all, and threats from a few, as he’s just become the redneck version of Bernie Madoff. The hot waitress (Jaime Alexander) he’d had a crush on since their school days is the only...

Nearly a decade ago, Lucy surpassed expectations to become a massive box-office success, grossing over 463 million worldwide on a budget of just 39 million. With that sort of money on the table, it’s surprising that a sequel didn’t immediately pop up. Well, the time has finally come for the next stage of Lucy’s story. Variety has reported that EuropaCorp and Village Roadshow are now working to develop a Lucy TV series based on the Luc Besson film.
Not only that, but Morgan Freeman is in advanced negotiations to star in the Lucy TV series, reprising his role of Professor Samuel Norman. Plot details about the series are being kept under wraps at this point, but the original movie starred Scarlett Johansson as a woman who gained psychokinetic abilities after absorbing massive amounts of an experimental drug into her system. Lucy’s physical and mental abilities increase throughout the...
