Part of the allure of Michael Bay's Transformers movies was that they embraced the spectacle and technological limits that came with the 21st-century summer blockbuster. Cool shots, explosions, and a rocking soundtrack seemed to be all that was needed for a franchise that was more than meets the eye to transform the lives of millions of people who watched the movies. However, being that these were, from conception to execution, "popcorn movies," there was an inherent dilemma as fans who watched the movies time and again began to dissect the lore of this chaotic and visually arresting world.

Right off the bat, from Transformers to Transformers: Dark of the Moon, those who had become die-hard fans of this universe noticed things that didn't seem right. From the Constructicon Long Haul becoming a default model for Decepticons that invaded Chicago to the Autobot Jolt randomly appearing in the climax as...

“The Steps” follows Jeff (Jason Ritter), an uptight New Yorker who was just let go from his job, and his party girl sister Marla (Emmanuelle Chriqui) who go meet their father (James Brolin) who has recently gotten married to a woman (Christine Lahti) with three adult children of her own. The meeting prompts a culture clash that sends both sides of the family into chaos, but when the “step” parents announce they’re adopting a child, tensions rise and bitterness is shared as everyone struggles to learn the meaning of family. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below featuring Jeff and Marla admiring a painting of their father only to find him having sex with his new wife behind the living room couch.

With Ultima Lucha kicking off a week early and Ring of Honor blessing us all with their Death Before Dishonor Xiii iPPV last weekend, the wrestling world has had a ton of fun content to sift through recently.

If you didn’t catch all of the regularly scheduled programming and the extra stuff that we’re bombarded with, fear not. This article is here to catch you up on many of the crazier moments that you might have missed.

The purpose of this article is to countdown the absolute most insane spots of the previous week and weekend. If you happened to miss out on Ach taking a Rite of Passage through a table, or the Exploder Suplex that Cage ate in the midst of the fans, or even the Seth Rollins knee that disfigured John Cena’s face, this article has got you covered with gifs of all of these moments.

Title: Barricade Director: Andrew Currie Being an unbridled fan of the horror genre, you understand that at any given time, you could end up watching one of the worst movies ever made. And after 85 minutes, Barricade proved this theory oh so true. Alright, it’s not the worst flick ever created. But it is definitely the worst of the year thus far. Just taking into account the broad strokes of what makes a competent cinematic product (horror or not), this has zilch. Sure there’s a slight interest of what is causing a raucous in a secluded cabin where a father and his children are vacationing. But that’s about the only [ Read More ]

The post Barricade Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

*spoilers are below! Director: Andrew Currie. Writers: Michaelbrent Collings. Cast: Jody Thompson, Conner Dwelly, Ryan Grantham, and Eric McCormack. Tagline: "Lock your doors." Something, somewhere went wrong with the film Barricade. A lighting guy was fired or writer Michaelbrent Collings' script was not given a thorough read by someone. Because, this title seems to flip-flop about what its central conflict actually is. Also, this movie is overly dark. Whole sets and characters are hidden in shadows and hopefully, this technique was not intentional. Overall, Barricade is a lackluster showing with Eric McCormack's performance one of the few redeemable qualities in the film. The story involves a silly plot device, a fever. The film will try to make it seem like there is an external threat. But, the shady images and strange cuts are being caused by a high temperature. The big plot twist in Barricade is revealed! Turn the lights on already!

Have you ever heard someone say something they thought was incredibly clever, so much so that they wink at you and give you a little nudge afterwards, except it wasn’t clever at all? In fact, what that person said was utter nonsense and everyone else in the room is now a little bit worried the person might be coming down with something, or that in the span of the conversation this once normal person rapidly developed schizophrenia? That’s exactly the feeling you get from Andrew Currie’s thriller Barricade which features Eric McCormack as a father of two who takes his kids on a vacation to a secluded cabin (is there any other kind?) where strange events start to unfold.

This week: The biggest blockbuster of the year, "The Avengers," is likely to become the best-selling home video of the year as fans can't seem to get enough of Marvel's Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America teaming up to battle Loki and an army of hostile aliens.

Also new this week is the hilariously twisted Danish comedy "Klown," the thriller "Barricade" starring Eric McCormack and a collection of all 22 James Bond films called, simply, "Bond 50."

'The Avengers'

Box Office: $622 million

Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Fresh

Storyline: Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Captain America (Chris Evans) are recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to stop Thor's adoptive brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), from using the Tesseract to open a portal that will allow hostile extraterrestrials to obliterate the Earth. Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner return from the Phase 1 Marvel movies as Black Widow and Hawkeye,...

You can’t blame people today for wanting to get away from it all. Sometimes nothing sounds more appealing than retreating to a remote cabin in the mountains for some rest and relaxation. Shut off the phones and other electronic devices, or just leave them at home. However, it you are going to do this, have a contingency plan for emergency purposes. You never know when a blizzard could keep you stuck in cabin, completely cut off from the outside world.

In Fido director Andrew Currie and WWE Studios' Barricade, Terrence Shade (Eric McCormack) has decided to get out of the city and take his two kids to a remote cabin (which is really a very large house even though people continuously refer to it as a cabin).

A year prior Terrence and young Cynthia (Conner Dwelly) and Jake (Ryan Grantham) lost their wife/mother. She desperately wanted to have...

A father’s quiet retreat to the woods with his two children turns into a fight for survival in Barricade. From the director of the zombie comedy Fido comes this scary-looking PG-13 horror film.

There is an interesting free app the makers of Barricade are using to market this film. It allows you to play with Augmented Reality technology.

Here’s a video showing how to trigger Augmented Reality for WWE’s Barricade:

For seasoned actor Eric McCormack, the role of Terrance Shade was one of the most challenging of his career. Appearing in virtually every scene, it was both a physically and emotionally demanding role for McCormack. As a busy psychiatrist, Terrance is struggling to adjust to life as a widowed father whose main concern is the safety and well-being of his young children. The children, as well, must come to grips with having lost their principal caretaker,...

WWE, or World Wrestling Entertainment, isn’t just about wrestling anymore, as evidenced by their frequent forays into film producing over the last few years. They’ve ramped up their movie distribution with WWE Studios; last month, their film The Day was released, the first from WWE to not feature any WWE wrestlers. This week, their newest film, Barricade, comes out direct to DVD, with an impressive, cool-sounding, and eye-catching cover using technology called the Augmented Reality experience, meant to bring the intensity of the film to life.

Eric McCormack, of Will and Grace and the current TNT drama Perception, stars in Barricade as Terrance Shade, who’s trying to balance his professional life as a psychiatrist and personal life as a widowed father. He and his kids decide to spend the holidays in a mountain cabin, to both get...

Barricade marks the first original production from WWE Films to not feature one of their wrestling superstars in either a starring or major supporting role.

“One of the interesting things about Barricade,” notes director Andrew Currie, “is you are never really sure what’s real. So that becomes really exciting.”

A holiday in the mountains is an opportunity for the Shade family to accept their tragic loss and start anew. Little do they know they’ll all be tested in unimaginable ways.

The first trailer for ghost story Barricade has been released. All sorts of spooky events take place in the clip. First, shadowy figures appear behind brush. Then, a female spirit wants a bathmate and a father can do nothing but bar the door. Barricade will release September 25th and this feature prominently stars Eric McCormack ("Will and Grace").

As if! Let's face it, man. If ghosts want in, they'll get in. That is, if you don't pour salt all around the perimeter of your house and entranceways like doors and windows and such. See what we learn from watching "Supernatural?"

Way back in early 2011, it was revealed Andrew Currie - who previously gave us the amusing zom-com Fido - was attached to a thriller entitled Barricade.

Last week it was announced that Lionsgate was partnering with WWE Studios on a two-film deal that includes a brand new Leprechaun. Today it was revealed that the film will be called Leprechaun: Origins and will be released in March 2013. *Update: In what must be a huge coincidence, WWE wrestler Hornswoggle (pictured below) has been cast in the title role.
