Nathan Fillion, current star of ABC's Castle and formerly of Firefly/Serenity fame, decided to share a recent encounter he had with a fan via his Twitter account:

"Had a guy approach me on street. All he did was nod and say, "Captain." That's all he needed to say."

Netflix ‘Watch Instantly’ Library Adds Films From Paramount, MGM & Lionsgate

Posted: 10 Aug 2010 12:45 PM PDT

It's a great day to be a Netflix subscriber.

The company has signed a joint deal with subscription-based television service Epix to bring films from Paramount Pictures, MGM, and Lionsgate to their "Watch Instantly" streaming service 90 days after they're released to DVD, New York Times reports.

A common complaint some subscribers currently have with Netflix's online offerings is that the library is often filled with older and classic films that might not always satisfy hyperactive movie buffs. The deal with Epix plans to change that considerably as summer blockbusters like Iron Man 2, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kick-Ass will all appear in the Instant category much sooner [...]

Rob Zombie To Bring ‘House Of 1000 Corpses’ To Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights

Posted: 10 Aug 2010 10:10 AM PDT

People are fairly evenly split down the middle when it comes to Rob Zombie's brutal horror debut, House of 1000 Corpses. Many seem to love it while just as many have a pretty passionate hatred for it; it really just all depends on how the movie happened to play to you. Looking past your opinion on the film itself, you have to admit: the twisted and deranged world that Zombie created is nightmare-worthy visual accomplishment.

Universal Studios Hollywood has announced that they have partnered up with Zombie himself to create a brand new attraction to their popular yearly event, Halloween Horror Nights. The attraction will be called Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses: In 3D ZombieVision, and will allow entrants to throw on a pair of 3D glasses and make their way through terrifying locations from the movie including Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen, the Firefly family residence where our victims first meet the likes of Mama, Baby, and Otis before being turned into questionable works of art like Fishboy, and of course Dr. Satan's underground lair.

App Review: Harry Potter ‘Spells’ For iPhone And iPod Touch

Posted: 10 Aug 2010 06:37 AM PDT

Harry Potter: Spells & Spells Free
iPhone, iPod Touch App
Warner Bros. Digital Distribution
Price: $2.99; Free

Even with the book series concluded and the two-part final film adaptation on the horizon, the Harry Potter multimedia franchise shows no signs of slowing down as evident with the new Spells and Spells Free apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Spells definitely focuses on giving those who download it a full Harry Potter experience, by signing your admissions letter to Hogwarts, choosing the correct wand, and having the Sorting Hat tell you which house you're assigned. Only after completing all of this can you actually start exploring the menu.

Predictably, the app allows fans to learn 17 different spells taught to wizards of Hogwarts, including Serpensortia, Stupefy, Incendio, and the Unforgivable Curse Avada Kedavra. The advantage of getting the paid app is that it comes with the first four spell packs ($0.99-each, total of $4), so you're essentially getting a deal. After finishing the 7-year curriculum, users can then challenge the CPU to a duel or face real-life opponents online or right next to you [...]
