It almost seems inevitable that the horror genre would gravitate toward social commentary. I mean really, there’s only so much you can say about zombies or psycho killers on the loose. Then again, some filmmakers might need to feel as though all of their hard work could really mean something at the end, as if a message behind the madness can justify all the mindless gore that goes along with it. Still, if there is to be a story behind the depravity, it often comes down to the basic struggle of good vs. evil and what defines each. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein…

This corky film stars the duo from Shaun of the Dead (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) as two nerdy friends who comes across an Alien (Seth Rogen), who asks for their help.

Yes, it`s once again my favorite time of year: leaves are falling, the air is crisp and chilly-it`s October, joyous month of  Halloween.  There`s the annual search for the right {and economic} costume, the trip to the attic for both creepy and cute decorations.  And of course,  there`s the viewing of horror films, as  essential  to the season as ancient cartoons are to Christmas.  We all know and love classics like Psycho, Evil Dead 2,  and the Romero zombie movies. But you don`t always have to get strictly scary on Halloween.  Here are a few holiday classics which range from funny …

This week brings us another comic book movie starring Bruce Willis while MTV is releasing another Jackass.  Clint Eastwood is back again at the director’s chair for the supernaturla HereAfter.

Bruce Willis stars in the movie Red.  It looked crappy from the previews and trailers but it’s getting positive reviews.  It’s about a group of older hired guns trying to kill each other.   Rottentomatoes rates it at 70%, so I might just have to see this.  Houston Chronicle enjoyed the movie: “Old people who kill people are so much cuter than young people who kill people, right? In a movie …

A heads up, the video is in auto-play so turn down your volume now!

I’m loving the quirky characters, and it’s always good to see a “superhero” story from a different perspective, see for yourself!

SCREAM Awards Commercial:

Just like the old trailer, kinda.

Original Teaser:…

Thanks to LatinoReview for the pics.

I like the Safari outfit.

They look depressed.

Looks funny already, what the hell is Bradley Cooper wearing?…

That’s how it would’ve been if director, Robert Zemeckis, decided to keep Eric Stoltz to play the role of Marty McFly. They’ve shot for five weeks, and decided that Stoltz wasn’t right for the role because he was too serious.

Clip:

Based on the clip, they made the right direction. With Eric Stoltz’s serious acting, the humor feels a little damp. The footage with Stoltz was never seen before until now for the Blu-ray release of the trilogy. It comes out Oct 26th, you can pre-order it here.

Blue Mountain State is a low-brow comedy series from Spike TV that often plays like an American Pie/Porky’s hybrid about a college football team of idiots and sex-crazed morons. The show is often funny, even when it’s extremely stupid, often at the same exact time. The series will mostly appeal to the Spike TV demographics of beer-swilling sports fans, but people who enjoy a raunchy comedy will enjoy it as well. All 13 episodes of season one are included on the DVD set. Blue Mountain State pushes the bounds of network standards as well as good taste. Sex, drugs, and sex …
