inScary good! While It continues to scare moviegoers, Donnie Wahlbergtold Us Weekly he found some comic relief in the film thanks to several New Kids on the Block references. Watch the video above!
Wahlberg, 48, revealed that he caught the movie with his son and when NKOTB’s “Please Don’t Go Girl” song hit the screen, the two tried acting nonchalant about the whole thing.
“I looked over at him and he looked over at me and we don’t want to blow our cover either because it’s dad and son time,” Wahlberg told Us while sipping on his wife Jenny McCarthy’s newly launched ready-to-serve vodka cocktail, Blondies. “We are trying to be low-key. I don’t want to embarrass him, and fortunately no one heckled the New Kids stuff.”
Turns out Wahlberg’s son wasn’t embarrassed at all. In fact, he thought it was pretty cool.
“It was a really, really sweet moment,” Wahlberg admitted. “And the movie was scary as hell.”
It’s impressive Wahlberg found time to catch the flick since he’s juggling several different jobs. The actor just wrapped up the eighth season of his reality show, Wahlburgers, is continuing to make music with NKOTB and is gearing up for the next “heavy duty” season of Blue Bloods, in which he plays Det. Danny Reagan.
“Strangely I had to shoot it while I was on tour with New Kids on the Block,” the Boston native explained. “The first day of shooting was this incredibly emotional scene where Danny has to emote and the tour bus drove down from Connecticut, pulled up next to the makeup trailer. I got off and shot this incredibly emotional scene, got back on the bus and drove to my next concert in Long Island and kept going.”
Blue Bloods airs on on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.

The reviews of It, the remake of the 1990 miniseries inspired by the 1986 Stephen King novel, have been generally positive with the expected qualifications that the clown at its center has been simplified to more of a monster — athletic, menacing, verbal — and less of what made it so creepy to begin with: mysterious, intangible, invisible, omnipotent.
The 2017 remake of the movie jumps forward a generation, so the kids of the film live in the late 1980s, not the late 1950s. The director, Andy Muschietti (best-known for directing the witch-mom story Mama), does an admirable job of not bogging down the movie with ‘80s symbols — despite Hollywood’s reverence for nostalgia — but he does weave in one memorable reference to the decade: The five-member boy band sensation New Kids on the Block.
The NKOTB show up at three memorable times, because they are a secret pleasure of Jeremy Ray Taylor’s Ben Hanscom, the sensitive, smart, new kid in town.
Early in the movie, we find Ben, preciously struggling to carry what looks like a Game of Thrones-inspired diorama down the steps on the last day of school (it’s actually a building he visits in the town later in the movie). He runs into Sophia Lillis’s Beverly Marsh, who takes pity on him and signs his yearbook after he says they are in Social Studies class together.
She notices he’s listening to music on his Walkman — “Please Don’t Go Girl” — by the New Kids, and sweetly hints how it’s not exactly the coolest choice for a boy in junior high. She keeps his secret though.
As she leaves, he says, “Please don’t go … girl!,” and sort of to himself, “…that’s a New Kids on the Block song.”
Later, Beverly tells Ben he’s got the “Right Stuff” after noticing a New Kids on the Block poster on his bedroom door, while the other members of the Loser’s Club miss it. No one else in the Loser’s Club knows about Ben’s NKOTB fandom.
While Beverly and Bill exchange a kiss later in the movie, and their flowering relationship gives Ben his first dose of adolescent pain, “Ben from sosh” and Beverly at least posses that shared secret, a moment of authentic sweetness in a movie, that at points, feels about as real a theme park.

La novela de King consta de dos partes muy marcadas. En la primera los protagonistas son adolescentes y en la segunda, que ocurre 27 años más tarde (el ciclo que cubren las apariciones de Pennywise), adultos. Los guionistas tienen el acierto de trasladar la trama de los años 50 a los años 80, con lo cual sentimos a los adolescentes más próximos y pueden incorporan el lenguaje coprolálico propio a su edad, así como su gusto musical por algunas bandas de la época, como los New Kids on the Block y otras.

inPelícula con hartas referencias de la época,que van de afiches de los Gremlins hasta canciones de The Cure y New Kids on the Block.
Para fines prácticos (y cinematográficos), el villano de “It” (“Eso“) es un payaso. Pero en realidad, según la novela original de Stephen King, se trata de un ente que puede transformarse en tu más terrible miedo. En la nueva película del argentino Andrés Muschietti, que se estrena hoy, toma la forma de una aterradora mujer, de un monstruo decapitado, de un ser tóxico para un hipocondríaco, y así. Lo que te aterra, eso es “It“.
PESADILLA INFANTIL
Si hubiese que describir de una forma fácil esta película, podríamos decir que es un capítulode “Stranger Things” de más de dos horas. Con todo lo bueno y lo malo que eso pueda implicar. La cinta incluso comparte a uno de los protagonistas de la serie, el divertido Finn Wolfhard.
No parece un guiño gratuito. Y es que, ambientada en los años 80, la aventura de siete púberes tiene muchos ingredientes que saben a déjà vu: tranquilos suburbios agitados por hechos misteriosos, paseos en bicicleta, tiernos amoríos de verano y hartas referencias de la época,que van de afiches de los Gremlins hasta canciones de The Cure y New Kids on the Block. La nostalgia nunca falla.
Además, Muschietti tiene experiencia en esas lides: su anterior filme, “Mamá”, que significó su primera incursión en la industria hollywoodense, también abordaba el género del terror desde la perspectiva infantil. Porque allí se engendran los principales temores, aquellos que nos acompañan silenciosos con el crecimiento y que brotan luego sin importar el grado de madurez.Y así, por momentos, “It” se pone lo suficientemente adulta para abordar temas como el ‘bullying’, el abuso infantil, la segregación racial y religiosa, entre otros.
Finalmente, la película es también un homenaje al inagotable universo de King y de las decenas de películas que se han hecho sobre su obra. Las alusiones abundan, algunas como guiñossutiles, otras como obvias reverencias: allí están la jovencita ensangrentada de “Carrie”, la patota leal e inseparable de “Cuenta conmigo”, los delirios esquizofrénicos de “El resplandor” o la obsesión psicópata de “Misery”. Porque nadie como King para enseñarnos que el miedo suele tomar múltiples e inesperadas formas.
MÁS PAYASOS DEL TERROR
El Joker: Otro supervillano que hace de lo estrafalario su principal arma de destrucción. También conocido como el Guasón, el archienemigo de Batman es un psicópata sin códigos, que mata y perpetra todos sus crímenes con una demencia abrumadora. Su personalidad funciona perfecta en contraposición al atribulado y adusto Hombre Murciélago, al utilizar la risa y la broma como un escudo para desplegar todo su sadismo. En el cine, particularmente inolvidables fueron las personificaciones de Jack Nicholson y Heath Ledger, en ambos casos casi opacando al héroe principal. Imposible no temerle (y a la vez quererlo).
VIOLATOR
En “Spawn”, la popular serie de antihéroes y demonios creada por
el canadiense Todd McFarlane, no podía faltar este robusto payaso
que es el más poderoso y peligroso de los hermanos Phlebiac, así como uno de los más sanguinarios rivales del protagonista. También
tiene la habilidad de adquirir múltiples aspectos. Elegido entre los
100 mejores villanos de las historietas de todos los tiempos, Violator
también se hizo de una miniserie especial en la saga.
CLOWN
La premisa es tan absurda como espeluznante. Desesperado porque el payaso no llega a la fiesta infantil de su hijo, un hombre decide ponerse la nariz roja y todo el atuendo y hacer de improvisado bufón.
Los problemas empezarán cuando no pueda sacarse el disfraz y deba ir a trabajar y hacer su vida cotidiana como un auténtico payaso. Con
ello, su personalidad empezará a alterarse para mal. Cinta dirigida por Jon Watts y producida por Eli Roth, un experto en lo retorcido.
TWISTY
Fue tal el éxito del maquiavélico personaje interpretado por John Carrol Lynch en la serie “American Horror Story: Freak Show”, que repitió el plato para otra de las temporadas (“The Cult”). Azuzado
por la coulrofobia natural de algunos de los protagonistas, este asesino serial se despacha explotando los diversos miedos que
rondan, sobre todo, al personaje de Ally Mayfair Richards: la sangre, las tumbas y otros elementos que hacen ecos del característico
horror psicológico de la ficción. Fobias que se materializan en este
monstruo circense.
EL MUÑECO DE “POLTERGEIST”
Con esta película de 1982, el recientemente fallecido Tobe Hooper se anotó una obra maestra de lo sobrenatural, repleta de fantasmas,
posesiones diabólicas y maldiciones. Ya cerca del clímax, en una secuencia arquetípica dentro de la habitación infantil, el
pequeño Robbie se asoma a los misterios debajo de la cama antes de ser atacado por un extravagante y en apariencia inocente
muñeco de payaso. La lamparita de Darth Vader que se puede ver en la escena es un guiño que nos invita a pensar cuáles son los verdaderos villanos de la niñez.

Is it possible that Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny could actually leave the force behind on the Blue Bloods season 8 premiere? It’s a pretty difficult thing to think about, but it’s certainly something that’s possible.
Based on the details that are out there about the upcoming premiere in just three weeks, we know that Danny is going to be at a major crossroads in terms of his career. He’s worked with the force for a long time, and in turn, can take credit for doing a lot of wonderful, heroic things. Yet, at the same time he’s also more acutely aware than ever before of the target that comes with being a police officer. There are a number of people who want to see the character dead, and in the season 7 finale, he saw his house burn to the ground.
Will he recover from that? We know that the Reagan as is to keep fighting and taking on whatever obstacle is thrown at you. With that, we certainly do think that he will. Nonetheless, along the way we’re going to see him having a significant debate over his future.
The merits of him leaving his job start with one very simple notion: If he walks away from the force, one of the things that he could in turn feel is a greater sense of safety for his family. They don’t have to worry anywhere near as much about someone targeting him, and he in turn can probably protect them better. There are certainly some other jobs out there that would be willing to hire him, even if some of them (like private security) could carry with them some dangers of their own.
As for some of the merits of sticking with the job, most of those start with just getting an opportunity to do more work that benefits the entire city of New York. Maybe Danny thinks in terms of the greater good, or that he is putting away bad guys who could hurt his family if they are out on the street. There are inherent risks that go with being a cop, but so long as he is careful, he can try to mitigate some of those risks from here on out.
Blue Bloods is, at its core, a cop show — therefore, we do want to think that no matter what happens, at the end of the Danny is going to be involved in law enforcement somehow. Yet, this debate is still important. If he were to not carefully consider his future after an incident like this, much of his humanity would be stripped. This is the sort of incident that really makes you question everything, including if you’re living your life the right way. It should be a strong focus for the premiere.

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Treasurer Deb Goldberg is hoping to return more than 46,000 properties — from forgotten savings accounts to the contents of unattended safe deposit boxes — to their rightful owners.
Goldberg said the properties are worth millions of dollars to individuals and businesses throughout the state, including the band New Kids on the Block and members Jordan Knight and Danny Wood.
This newly released list includes only individuals and businesses with unclaimed property over $100. The properties can also include forgotten checking accounts, un-cashed checks, insurance policy proceeds and stocks and dividends.
The Democratic treasurer said accounts are considered abandoned and are turned over to the state after three years of inactivity. Last year the state returned over $114 million in property.

You got the right stuff, baby. And by “right stuff,” the state treasury means unclaimed property belonging to New Kids on the Block legends Jordan Knight and Danny Wood, plus tens of thousands of others.
According the the Treasurer’s office, the boy band itself, identified as NKOTB Inc., in records, is owed at least $5 each in dividends and stocks from MetLife.
Knight is owed insurance proceeds from Lincoln Benefit Life and other property from EMC Corp.
There are more than 46,000 newly added unclaimed properties, the Treasury said in a statement today, including contents of forgotten safety deposit boxes and money in ignored bank accounts.
The unclaimed property is worth millions of dollars, and $114 million has been returned to the rightful owners, the Treasury said.
