Revealed only shortly before it’s release no one knew much about the film called 10 Cloverfield Lane. Everybody speculated it had something to do with the 2008 film Cloverfield. Most thought it a sequel. Well… it is in a way but, it’s more of a companion film than a sequel. It takes place in the same universe slightly after the initial attack in the first film happens. The best part is that about the movie is that it doesn’t use the aliens to create it’s conflict directly. It uses the paranoia and the sense of not knowing what’s really going outside of Howard’s (John Goodman) bunker. Michelle wakes up chained to a bed by Howard, so, you can see why she may not trust everything he says.

The cast is comprised of three actors. Three actors that have to carry a hour and 43 minute movie, and carry it they do. John Gallagher Jr. as Emmett is the comedy relief in the tense movie. He’s always there to offer some sort of goofy retort or bumpkin wisdom. Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Michelle is pretty darn good. She plays the perfect foil to Goodman’s brand of crazy. Goodman is amazing, point blank period. He controls the movie with some sort of magical force it seems as he takes over every scene he’s in. He was perfectly cast as the crazy, paranoid, Howard. He makes you unsure if he’s the bad guy you may think he is or just a man that happened to be more prepared for the end than other “normal” people. That dynamic type of character makes the movie larger than the underground bunker that dominates the scenery of the film.

Overall, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a good time at the theater. It has jump scares and makes you question characters intentions. All the psychological tension you can handle. I would reccommend it highly.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
