Welcome to Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world. It’s a tantalizing toy haven in which everything insideliterally coes to life - including the store itself - and where marvels of every imaginable, possible kind, and beyond, never cease… that is until now.
When Mr. Magorium, the store’s extraordinary 243 year-old proprietor (Dustin Hoffmann), announces that he will at long last hand over the reigns of his wonder-expanding store to his unconfident young manager, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman), the store decides to throw an unusual tantrum.
As a skeptical accountant named Henry (Jason Bateman) comes in to audit the Legos and Lincoln Logs, bot to mention the Whodathoughts and Whatchamacallits, the once sparkling, color-saturated Emporium is suddenly embattled by mysterious changes. The playful toys are all still there, but they’ve turned gray and quiet - and only Mahoney and Henry can revive them if, with the help of a superdexterous 9 year-old (Zach Mills), they can find the source of magic inside themselves.
I just finished watching the new Halloween Movie directed by Rob Zombie.
And for all of you who are into Horror movies: this is the best Halloween the world has ever seen!!
I’ve always been a BIG fan of his artwork. Yeah right, his movies are kinda art for me. Never seen movies where sex, crime, love and sheer brutality was assembled to such an erotic powerful and colored journey like on his. The way he works out fear and desire in every scene just turns me on and I’m even not quiet sure why Rob Zombie’s combination of beautiful blonde bimbo and sinister psychotic serial killer is such a powerful combination..
Rob Zombie is best known as a musician, formerly the lead singer for the band White Zombie. He’s also well-known as a fan of B-movies, horror movies in particular, and over the last few years, Zombie has become a screenwriter and director himself. His first two movies were House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects, the latter of which enjoyed significant amount of success. And the former movie was a cult classic in its own right.
He is also the executive producer of the forthcoming film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, based upon his comic book series, ‘The Adventures of El Superbeasto’ (which appeared in his Spookshow International comic book). USuperbeasto is animated and due for a 2008 release.
House of 1000 Corpses was Rob Zombie’s directorial debut and his first horror film. It took four years to make (1999-2003), and was finally released by Lion’s Gate Films in 2003, after Stacy Snider, then-head of Universal Pictures, sold the film to them, as she did not wish for Universal to release the film. It was later revealed that Snider is not a fan of horror films. It featured a shocking amount of violence and gore, a hark back to Rob’s exploitation-film influences. It told the tale of a group of unlucky teenagers who stumble upon the Firefly Family, a family of sadistic and vicious murderers. The film was shot in a surreal and over-the-top style that alternated between dark and campy humor.

1000 Corpses’ sequel, The Devil’s Rejects, showcased a much different style. Whereas House was at times comedic and bizarre, Rejects was more dark, serious and gritty and was more of a Western revenge movie than an outright horror film. Released in 2005, Rejects had the Firefly Family on the run from the law and a particularly vengeful sheriff whose brother was murdered by them in the first film.

Rob Zombie contributed to the 2007 exploitation film Grindhouse, by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino by directing a faux trailer, called Werewolf Women of the S.S., starring his wife, exploitation veterans Udo Kier and Sybil Danning, and Nicolas Cage, who did his appearance for free as a favor.
Zombie next directed Halloween, a reimagining of the 1978 classic that was released August 31st, 2007.
