The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Black Label Society's Berzerkus Tour Sampler for only 69 cents!

Yes, 69 cents!

For less than a dollar you get this 26-song double live album from the metal band, which boasts former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde on guitar and vocals.

Do I really even have to do the math on this? Ok, fine, Math Time = $0.69 divided by 26 songs = $0.265 per song. That's less than 3 cents per song, c'mon, buy it now! You'd be insane not to.

If you're a fan of Black Label Society, then there shouldn't even be a moment's hesitation. Grab this now. If you're not that familiar with the band, well, for 69 cents, you can take a chance on them.

The songs on the album were recorded earlier year during the band's Berzerkus Tour, in support of their latest album Order of the Black, which was released in August 2010. The Berzerkus Tour is still underway in the United States and will soon make its way to the UK [...]

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 06:00 PM PST

Spartacus Blood and Sand Blu-ray DVD and Playstation 3 giveaway

Oh boy, do we have an amazing contest for you, dear readers!

Here at Geeks of Doom we're big fans of Spartacus: Blood and Sand (see our review), and we know a lot of our readers are too. That's why we're so very excited to be able to bring you this contest in conjunction with the recent release of Season 1 of the series on DVD and Blu-ray where we're giving away some prizes, including a Sony Playstation 3!

One (1) Grand Prize winner will receive:

- One (1) Sony Playstation 3
- One (1) Spartacus: Blood and Sand Season 1 Blu-ray

Two (2) runner-up winners will each receive:

- One (1) Spartacus: Blood and Sand Season 1 DVD

"SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND," the most highly anticipated original series in the history of Starz Entertainment, premiered on January 22, 2010 and was an instant hit with viewers and critics. The Miami Herald called it "compulsively watchable," while the Associated Press remarked that the series "grabs you with visual pizzazz." Entertainment Weekly declared it "the not-at-all guilty pleasure of the season," while US Weekly gave it "3.5 out of 4 stars." With a renowned international cast including John Hannah (the Mummy films), Peter Mensah (300), Manu Bennett (30 Days of Night), Nick E. Tarabay ("Crash") and Lucy Lawless ("Xena: Warrior Princess"), and a star-making turn by UK-born and Australia-based Andy Whitfield in the title role, "SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND" literally re-wrote the book for television series.

Conan O’Brien Beats Out Jay Leno, David Letterman & Everyone Else In Debut

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 03:57 PM PST



Not that it's much of a shocking result, but Conan O'Brien's brand new late night talk show on TBS, Conan, debuted last night to big results.

The show brought in higher ratings than all other late night contenders, including Jay Leno and his Tonight Show, David Letterman and his Late Show, John Stewart's Daily Show, and all others.

Conan lured 4.2 million sets of eyeballs (3.3 million in the coveted ages 18-49 demographic) to his new show, while Leno had 3.5 million and Letterman had 3.4 million. Even more interestingly perhaps, is that the median average age of O'Briens viewers was 30 years old, while competition Leno's median age was 59 and Letterman's was 53. It's becoming more and more clear what late night shows the Fox News crowd is into.

It's worth keeping in mind that there's been a ton of attention on the drama that unfolded between O'Brien, Leno, and NBC, and after a long summer with a growing fanbase strongly behind Conan, the show's debut was bound to dump big numbers on the late night ratings. [...]

Watch Now: Trailer #2 For ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 02:41 PM PST

Voyage of the Dawn Treader

A second theatrical trailer has been released for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Watch the trailer here below.

The first trailer debuted online back in June, but there's been little buzz about the third film in the Narnia film franchise.

In the upcoming film, we see the return of Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), along with two of the four Pevensie children -- Lucy and Edmund -- who are accompanied on this nautical journey with their young cousin Eustace Scrubb.

Directed by Michael Apted, this new film is the first of the bunch to be financed by Fox, instead of Disney, which backed the first two movies, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, for Walden Media. There's a lot of pressure for Dawn Treader to do well, otherwise it's unlikely that further Narnia adaptations will be made (there are seven Narnia books in author C.S. Lewis's novel series). [...]

Watch Now: Final Trailer For ‘Tron Legacy’

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 12:53 PM PST



The latest trailer for Disney's upcoming 3D release, Tron Legacy, the sequel to Tron , has finally been released on the internet, and this time, the clues of the teaser begin to move towards giving viewers and fans more of an idea of the story that will unfold in the film.

Watch the full trailer here below.

Fan feedback across the web, at a glance, seems to be highly positive-- as it should be: the footage contained in this trailer is nothing short of breathtaking and, personally speaking, makes me very excited about seeing this movie. Now, while I do mention breathtaking, bear in mind this trailer is not only full of effects like the last two that had been released; in this teaser, we get more in touch with the two characters played by Jeff Bridges (Kevin Flynn and CLU2 of course) in the film, as well as the other characters.

Like most of you, I've been waiting for this sequel for many years, and so far all the teasers seem to indicate this movie might just match (or hopefully exceed) expectations [...]

Geek Art: Kawaii Toy Story 3 – Bonnie & Friends

Kawaii Toy Story 3 - Bonnie & Friends

This week on the Flix of Doom podcast, we discussed the Toy Story franchise, as this month marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the first film. In preparation, I re-watched Toy Story 3, which just came out on Blu-ray.

While researching for the episode, I came across this adorable image called Kawaii Toy Story 3 - Bonnie & Friends by illustrator Jerrod Maruyama, who created this piece for the Pixar Times site.

Blu-ray Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 08:49 AM PST

Scott Pilgrim Blu-ray

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
Blu-ray | DVD
Directed by Edgar Wright
Starring Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans
Universal Studios Home Entertainment
Release date: November 9, 2010


The lack of success that Scott Pilgrim Vs the World met at the box office shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the movie. It's not shocking that the studio couldn't find a good way to advertise the movie, and it may just be that there was always going to be a small audience for this film. However, this is a film that should not be measured by its box office receipt. It is one of my favorite movies of the year and it is a joy for me to watch every time I see it. So now that Scott Pilgrim Vs the World is out on DVD and Blu-ray, I certainly hope that the film discovers the audience it deserves. Not that I gain anything from it doing well, but I feel that this is a very good film that is a lot of fun, has some fantastic music, and some great performances.

Now granted, I am the target market for this Scott Pilgrim Vs the World. I am a fan of the comic book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley, and I am also a fan of director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). I was very excited when I heard that Wright was going to direct it, as I knew he was a comic book fan and had a great voice for directing comedy and tragedy [...]

Teaser Trailer For ‘Kung Fu Panda 2′ Is Here To See

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 07:01 AM PST



The very first teaser trailer for Kung Fu Panda 2 is being run in front of DreamWorks Animation's newest movie, Megamind, which just hit theaters this past weekend and took the #1 spot with a $46 million domestic take.

The trailer was also released on DreamWorks' official Kung Fu Panda website, and you can see it here and now below!

The movie, for as long as its existence has been known, has been called Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom. Now it appears that they've dropped the Kaboom and just gone with the traditional numerical title. This saddens me a bit, as most of the sub-titles we see these days are pretty horrible and The Kaboom of Doom was actually pretty playful and fun. Just the number "2" is boring. Bring back the Kaboom!

You can click on over to the other side now to see the teaser trailer and read a brief synopsis, and you can also hit the link above for all of your HD options. [...]
