Exclusive interview with Upgrade's writer/director Leigh Whannell

Leigh Whannell: Upgrading from Horror to Sci-fi

May 30, 2018 Dean Rogers Movie News, Movies

For years, Leigh Whannell was responsible writing the screenplays to the Saw and Insidious franchises. This weekend, Leigh has made the leap from horror to sci-fi with the film “Upgrade”. A brutal mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed in the hospital and his beloved wife dead. A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure — an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility — skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life. I sat with Leigh to explore the usual movements, going from writing to directing and filming back home in Melbourne, Australia

December 30, 2017 Dean Rogers Movies

Dean on the Scene ready to deliver the heartbreaking news of the year. While I love going to the movies and seeing what Hollywood has to offer, there’s always the few that I wished I never had to see on the big screen. These are the films that didn’t make me laugh, cry and cheer. They are the ones that make me jeer… inside and out. For these special five on my list, time fully recovered when I left the theatre wondering why this was made in the first place. Here are my worst five films of 2017. Keep in mind that these are MY picks of the worst films of the year and does not reflect the views of my staff.

Movie Review: Coco

The Wonderful World of Coco

November 25, 2017 Lauren Beverly Movie Reviews, Movies

Disney-Pixar’s “Coco” can best be described as heartwarming and thought provoking. Directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, the film tells the story of twelve-year-old Miguel Rivera, whose family despises music. After having seen “Coco”, I became fascinated with the Rivera family’s thoughts on music, as well as how the Land of the Dead was depicted.

Edgar Wright: Man Behind Baby Driver

June 25, 2017 Dean Rogers Interviews, Movies

Writer/Director Edgar Wright is back on the big screen this week in what I can describe as THE Thrill ride of 2017, Baby Driver starring Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey. Talented getaway driver Baby relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. After meeting the woman of his dreams, he sees a chance to ditch his shady lifestyle and make a clean break. Coerced into working for a crime boss, Baby must face the music as a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom.
