God is giving Satan a last shot at redemption; Satan must live out a blameless life as a human. Slick negotiator that he is, Lucifer negotiates a ‘try before you buy’ period. 1 Month. London. He has no intention of taking God up on His offer. Lucifer simply wants to put a body through as much drug, sex and other multiple vice excess as possible in a month.

Dream House (review) is the tale of Will Atenton (Daniel Craig; Cowboys & Aliens, Quantum of Solace), a high-profile, Manhattan publisher who leaves the big city behind to relocate his wife Libby (Rachel Weisz; The Constant Gardener, The Lovely Bones) and their two daughters to a quaint New England town. As the family settles into their new lives they learn that their beloved dream home has a history of murder. When Will dares to delve further into the mysteries of the house, he is not sure if he is seeing ghosts or if the tragic events are somehow related to his past. The only clues come from his cryptic neighbor, Ann (Naomi Watts, The Ring, J. Edgar), who helps him piece together this haunting puzzle. Also featuring Marton Csokas (Alice in Wonderland), Elias Koteas (The Fourth Kind) and Jane Alexander (The Unborn), Dream House is available on Blu-ray Combo Pack with UltraViolet, DVD, Digital Download and On Demand January 31, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Morgan Creek Films.

‘Dream House’ Director Jim Sheridan Attempted to Remove His Name From Film

As it wasn’t screened for critics, Bloody hit up a midnight showing of Universal Pictures’ Dream House in order to bring you an early AM review of the long-delayed psychological thriller starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz. It wasn’t very good, in fact, you might say it was erratic.

A week after it’s theatrical demise ($9 million at the boxoffice) director Jim Sheridan has decided to speak out. The six-time Oscar nominee was in fact so displeased with the finished film he sought to have his name removed from it, says the LA Times.

This summer, Sheridan went to the Directors Guild of America with the aim of striking his name from the credits (hoping to use the infamous “Alan Smithee” instead)…[but] the bid was dropped after a series of events that included the company that was financing the film, Morgan Creek Productions, agreeing to a new set of reshoots.

According to a person familiar with production, Sheridan began deviating from David Loucka’s script early on, using an improvisational method he favors. That was followed by a disastrous test screening, rampant anxiety at Morgan Creek, a first round of reshoots, and the production company ultimately taking control of the film in the edit room.

So there you go – and for those of you paying attention, Sheridan’s name is still gracing big screens across the country. I’d be embarrassed too.

[Review] ‘Dream House’ Is a ’90s Mix Tape of Twists

Now in theaters everywhere from Universal Pictures is Dream House, which was not screened for critics. Hitting up a midnight screening, I’m disappointed to report that Jim Sheridan’s supernatural thriller is nothing more than a mixtape of ’90s twist endings without any punch.

” ‘Dream House‘ is another one of those slow-stepping snoozers that forgets scares, suspense, drama and pacing… [It's] an arrogant, snotty and pretentious piece of work that believes it’s smart, genuine and clever; it takes itself way too seriously… There’s not a lick of fun to be had, and if anything, the oddly upbeat score diminishes any tension that could have been worked into this overly complex mess of film.”

Universal Pictures has shared the first clip from Jim Sheridan’s Dream House, their suspense thriller in theaters September 30 starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas and Jane Alexander. The clip features Craig and Weisz talking about some home intruders and asking the question, “Who is Peter Ward?” Based on the trailer, I’m assuming it’s Craig?

From Iron Man director Jon Favreau comes Universal Pictures’ Cowboys & Aliens, a new sci-fi genre actioneer that’s in theaters everywhere tomorrow. Featuring the rocking cast of Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Abigail Spencer, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano and Clancy Brown, the pic takes place in Arizona, 1873, where an alien fleet arrive to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. A posse of cowboys are all that stand in their way. Sounds cool, but unfortunately it’s weak sauce:

“ ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ is a bland, faceless, callow, moronic, poorly assembled action movie that felt more like playing with plastic cowboys and Indians than shooting an actual gun. [It] should be reserved for 9-year-olds and their parents who are looking to kill two hours before their park district soccer game.”

‘Dream House’ Trailer Promises Non-Supernatural Twist?

Teasing at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, Universal Pictures has unveiled the official trailer and one sheet for Jim Sheridan’s Dream House, their suspense thriller in theaters September 30 starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas and Jane Alexander.

Arriving in theaters September 30 (edited down to receive a PG-13), the gorgeous poster is a massive step up from this piece of crap and features a very Shining-esque moment with a pair of twins who promise to be the “key” to the movie. Speaking of The Shining, the below trailer appears to give homage to Kubrick’s classic, along with The Amityville Horror and The Strangers. But what concerns me most is that the trailer sort of implies that everything that happens is within Will Atenton’s (Daniel Craig) head — does this mean the finale promises to have a non-supernatural twist? Barf.

“Successful publisher Will Atenton (Craig) quit a high power job in Manhattan to relocate his wife, Libby (Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children.

The video footage features Harrison Ford puffing his chest and growling at Daniel Craig, preluded by a violent alien attack that definitely piques this writer’s interest.

In theaters July 29, “ ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ begins when a spaceship arrives in Arizona, 1873, to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. A posse of cowboys are all that stand in their way.” It also stars the out of this world hottie Olivia Wilde.

The movie has been in development for what feels like a decade, so it’s not that shocking that Universal Pictures would release what appears to be a dated one sheet for Jim Sheridan’s Dream House, their suspense thriller starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas and Jane Alexander. Arriving in theaters September 30, the poster features the Atenton family reaching to enter their brand new house in New England. It gets the point across, but I find it lacks in impact — it sort of reminds me of those late ’90s/early ’00s “floating heads” posters.

The first image of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz together in their upcoming film Dream House has made its way online. Directed by Jim Sheridan, the film has gone through many delays, including reshoots. Should we be worried?

Universal Pictures, who has slated the thriller for release on September 30, 2011, also released the following official synopsis: “A couple (Craig and Weisz) relocates their family to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates the tragedy, his only lead comes from Ann Paterson (Naomi Watts), a neighbor who was close to the family that died. As Will and Ann piece together the disturbing puzzle, they discover that the story of the last man to leave Will’s dream house will be just as horrifying to the one who came next.”

A psychological thriller about a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. The process sends him on a journey into the future, where he can foresee his death (but not who did it or how) in four day’s time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him?
