Genre Drama | Mystery | Sci-Fi

Cast Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, Aaron Paul

Rating TV-MA

Series Premiere March 15th, 2020 9:00 PM EST (HBO)

“Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, explore a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence.”

One thing is for sure, HBO’s sci-fi drama series Westworld is absolutely epic in every way. This show is incredibly written, expertly acted, and includes one of the most impressive scores in television today, and season 3 (or III as they are calling it) looks to yet again throw a wrench into the “what we thought we knew” conversation. Most notably the new season brings in Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul in what seems to be a starring role according to the trailer, and we now have a glimpse of what the world is like outside the walls of the park. I know people are upset that Game of Thrones is now over, but I simply cannot wait for Westworld III to release on March 15th. Check out the official trailer below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, HBO’s Westworld:

• Ben Barnes (Logan) broke his foot before arriving to the first day of shooting. Being afraid of losing the job, he didn't tell anyone, and just used the limp to look like a character choice. He then had to maintain the limp throughout filming.

• The quote "These violent delights have violent ends" is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Terrifier

Director Damien Leone

Genre Horror | Thriller

Cast Jenna Kanell, Samantha Scaffidi, David Howard Thornton, Catherine Corcoran

Rating Unrated

Release Date March 15th, 2018 (Netflix)

“A maniacal clown terrorizes three young women on Halloween night and everyone else who stands in his way.”

Written and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier is a horror film about a maniacal clown that was originally a short film that Leone also wrote and directed in 2011. Full disclosure, I will watch pretty much any film in the horror genre and this was recommended to me as a low budget old-school style horror with a good feel overall - and it is that and then some. I have a very high tolerance for horror or gore in general and I took a few double takes. Go into it expecting cheesy acting and low production value and you will not be disappointed Check out the official trailer below!!

DISCLAIMER:

This movie is seriously f’d up so if you have a genuine fear of clowns or a weak stomach, you may want to steer clear. On the other hand, as far as low budget horror flicks go Terrifier is legit, that is undeniable. But again, seriously messed up.

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Terrifier:

• David Howard Thornton who portrays Art the Clown has previous mime experience, which he utilizes in his performance.

• This is a return for Art The Clown, as he was previously used by the same director in the film "All Hallows Eve"
