maffyfitz: I am thrilled to announce that @marycmccormack and I have written a book!WHAT'S NEXT is a behind-the-scenes look into the creation and legacy of #TheWestWing, with insight from cast and crew exploring what made the show so special, and how its impassioned commitment to service has made the series and relationships behind it endure. It hits shelves in August but it would mean the world to us if you would preorder your copy now.

Very happy to see that Netflix has not only purchased the license for Starz' cancelled show "Heels" but they also have given the show an option for a possible 3rd season!!! 😀 Starz actually cancelled this show and others because they legally split from the show's production company Lionsgate. The show ended on a cliffhanger too as they thought they were going to make season 3. It's all going to depend on Stephen and Alexander's schedules too as they are both attached to new shows, and of course the ratings. This will be on Netflix worldwide too and I know a lot of wrestling fans didn't have Starz so they weren't able to watch when this aired, so now they can. I loved this show as it's about a fictional wrestling family the Spades, and their small town Georgia wrestling company that the sons Jack & Ace are hoping to expand and grow in honor of their late father Tom, but they all have a complicated past. Totally rec it for fans of "The Iron Claw" too as this show had a lot in common with the Von Erichs, but also other wrestling families like the Harts, Rhodes, etc. And I had two great ships on here too with valet turned female wrestler Crystal Tyler and loveable sweetheart Texas wrestler Bobby Pin, as well as Jack and his wife Stacy, and a great supporting cast of other wrestlers, promoters, and those that worked for the league. It also was a bit like "Friday Night Lights" mixed with "Glow" too, and made by Mike O'Malley from "Glee" and other shows. So again hoping this means we'll get season 3 after all and Netflix will announce the release date for the first 2 seasons soon. Now if Netflix will finally change their minds and film the final season of "Glow".

1408 (2007)

Creative, scary and very fun, 1408 may lose some steam towards its conclusion but it doesn't have to. With four alternate endings available, the right "version" is just waiting for you to find it.

Cynical horror author Mike Enslin (John Cusack) travels from one supposedly haunted hotel to the next, collecting material for his next book. His next stop is room 1408 at the Dolphin, a New York City hotel. Its manager, Gerald Olin (Samuel L. Jackson), begs him not to enter. He warns Mike that no one has lasted more than an hour inside 1408.

This is a horror film with many frightening and/or unsettling scenes. As Olin attempts to convince Enslin not to enter the room, to take pictures in a similarly-laid out room, take the many reports of unusual deaths in 1408 and just make something up, we catch snippets of the strange events that have occurred within the walls. Chills will run down your snipe. You run your hand around your neck to make sure there isn't anything amiss there and you shift in your seat. In the next scene, you'll be surprised to find yourself laughing. Enslin never runs out of smart comments to blurt out and always has something sarcastic to say. He’s set in his ways. No matter what he sees, he's determined to prove to himself that what he is seeing is a trick. Every other haunted hotel he's been to is little more than a tourist trap. Room 1408 must be too. The fact that they don’t advertise it as haunted punches a big hole in his theory, but he insists on finding reasons to stay and by the time he, like you, realizes this is no ordinary place… it’s too late. 1408 wants to kill Enslin. Specifically, it wants to torment him until he chooses to leave – via suicide.

I can't imagine anyone in this role besides John Cusack. He’s perfect for the part. You like him but his mean streak also makes you a little happy to see him knocked down a peg. That's until 1408 just takes it too far with its sick sense of humor. Now, you want him to make it out alive again.

There are many great scenes as the room projects illusions or simply changes itself to grind away at our protagonist’s sanity. The best is when Mike looks out his window and sees another room, just like his, occupied by a visitor whose situation is just as dreadful. This moment and others are memorable, masterfully done and, unfortunately, mostly concentrated in the movie's first half. I saw the director’s cut and you can’t help but feel a little cheated at its soft conclusion. This is a horror movie. It's ok to be left disturbed after the end credits! Still, Mikal Håfström does a great job expanding upon the short story by Stephen King. Pay close attention. You’ll notice that each ordeal reflects a circle in Dante Alighieri’s vision of Hell and simultaneously reflects the different stages of grief.

Psychologically disconcerting, well acted, frightening and even funny at times, 1408 is a great horror film. I’d rate it higher but honestly, I can't recommend the cut I’m reviewing. My vote is for the original theatrical version (deemed "too much of a downer" but I disagree) but any other than the default one found on the Director's Cut caps the picture nicely. It may sound like a lot of work to track down the "correct" version of 1408, but it's worth it. (Director’s Cut on Blu-ray, November 16, 2018)
