‘R.I.P.D.’ Image Gallery Excites Me For the Wrong Reasons…
Universal Pictures’ R.I.P.D. arrives this coming Friday in the middle of the San Diego Comic-Con, and without any critic screenings. The movie was constantly shooting additional scenes, and had a quietly troubled post-production. Still, word from test screenings is that the Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges starrer isn’t all that bad.
With that said, what I really want to talk about is my own personal negative reaction to the trailer, TV spots and new images… and it’s kind of bizarre.
I have absolutely zero interest in seeing Reynolds and Bridges in a police buddy comedy. In fact, what is piquing my interest are the shots of Victoria Secret model Marisa Miller and iconic actor James Hong as the avatars of characters Nick and Roy (Reynolds and Bridges, respectively). This unlikely couple reminds me a bit of Rush Hour, and looks astronomically more interesting than a hot shot Ryan Reynolds and cowboy Jeff Bridges (yawn). And because I know that Miller and Hong’s screen time will be limited, I sort of have zero interest in seeing R.I.P.D..

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
