Watch Now: New Trailer For ‘Immortals’ Posted: 16 Aug 2011 07:38 PM PDT The latest trailer for Immortals, the upcoming 3D epic adventure from director Tarsem Singh (The Fall), has just been released for viewing on MSN Movies, Zune, and Xbox Live. You can check it out below this article. The film follows a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) who is chosen by the Greek gods to battle the power-mad warrior king Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) when he declares war on humanity. Hyperion has assembled a massive army and is on a quest to find the Epirus Bow, a weapon of astounding power created by the gods that can unleash the Titans from their imprisonment in Mount Tartaros. If Hyperion takes possession of the Bow he can destroy the gods and dominate the world. Because the gods are forbidden by ancient law to intervene, only Theseus can defeat Hyperion and save his people from death and enslavement [...]

Watch Now: The 25 Greatest Unscripted Lines In Film History Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:54 PM PDT While a majority of what we see during each film is often able to be seen right there in the film's script, it's the moments that aren't, the moments of improvisation, the moments of creativity, that are forever remembered in the history books. And now, thanks to The High Definite, we have a new video proclaiming the 25 Greatest Unscripted Scenes in all of film history. "You're going to need a bigger boat," "Here's Johnny!," and even Han Solo's response to Leia's proclamation of love are all found on this list, as are a few gems that seem almost too perfect to actually be unscripted. Watch the video here [...]

DNA Found In Meteorites Suggests … We’re All Aliens?! Posted: 16 Aug 2011 05:51 PM PDT That's right ladies and gentlemen, it would appear that we're ALL actually aliens...and not just from the perspective of other lifeforms in the universe. Scientists have discovered two of the four nucleobases—which are essential in building DNA—in meteorites found in Antarctica. The two nucleobases discovered, adenine and guanine, suggest that the basic building blocks for life could be present throughout the universe, and that meteorites that hit Earth gatrillions (it's a real number...don't look it up) of years ago could have acted as seeds, planting what would eventually become life on our planet. This would also mean that if it did happened here, it could have happened many other places as well. This isn't the first time something like this has been discovered, either, though it is one of the best cases. In most other instances nucleobases like this were discovered in meteorites, it was too hard to distinguish whether or not they came with the rock or if some kind of lifeform had later come into contact with it, leaving the DNA.

Pick Your Favorite Dexter Confession In New Online Game For Showtime’s ‘Dexter’ Posted: 16 Aug 2011 03:01 PM PDT As the new season is nearing its debut, and with the last season now on DVD and Blu-ray, Showtime has announced and subsequently launched a new online game for fans of their hit series, Dexter. Entitled "Dexter Confessions," the game asks you to pick your favorite Dexter Confession, and post them onto either Twitter or Facebook. It's not the most involving of games, but when you complete the task, you get a trailer for the upcoming season, and honestly, that's enough reward to do pretty much anything [...]

New Poster For Jason Statham’s ‘Safe’ Hits Posted: 16 Aug 2011 02:06 PM PDT When it comes to action films, very few people do them as right and as interesting as actor Jason Statham. Be it the Transporter franchise or the pair of Crank films, there has always been something about the actor that has made him one of the most beloved names within the genre. And now, we have the first poster for his next effort, Safe. Check it out in full here below. The film comes to us from writer/director Boaz Yakin and follows a former elite operative, who is forced to keep a young girl safe from those who desperately want to see her demise. The cast includes Catherine Chan, Chris Sarandon, Robert John Burke, Reggie Lee, Danny Hoch, and James Hong, and looks to be something of an interesting bit of counter programming come its release on October 28, 2011 [...]

Rumor Alert: Superman/Batman Movie On The Way? Posted: 16 Aug 2011 01:05 PM PDT Apparently, there is a real chance of Warner Bros. considering a future movie team-up of the characters of Superman and Batman after 2013's release of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. Rumor has it that this possible upcoming Superman/Batman movie could go one of two ways. The first being that, if Christian Bale is willing to reprise his role, Batman would be mentoring a young Superman in fighting super crime that threatens the world. And if Bale isn't willing, the other idea is too throw out the Chris Nolan continuity, and have Henry Cavill's Superman mentoring a young Bruce Wayne. This is a terrible idea [...]

New Image Of Daniel Radcliffe In ‘The Woman in Black’ Posted: 16 Aug 2011 10:41 AM PDT A new still of a very frightened (and stubbly) Daniel Radcliffe from his first major post-Harry Potter role in the upcoming film The Woman in Black has just been released. You can view a full, larger version of the image by clicking the thumbnail at the end of this article. The film is based on the novel by Susan Hill, which had previously been adapted for the international stage, and is directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) from a screenplay by Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class). The story follows young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who travels to a remote village to help put a recently deceased client's affairs in order and discovers that the locals are being terrorized by the ghost of a scorned woman. As the old saying goes, hell hath no fury [...]

The Torchwood TARDISblend 32: The Categories Of Life Posted: 16 Aug 2011 09:54 AM PDT Torchwood: Miracle Day continues, as we find the governments of the world re-categorizing life. Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) returns home to Wales to investigate the segregation of the ill and the injured into Overflow Camps, while the rest of Torchwood is joined by Doctor Vera Juarez (Arlene Tur) to investigate the American camps, under the guidance of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). During TARDISblend 32, we review the events of The Categories Of Life, in which we drill down into many criticisms we have of the episode in addition to the series as a whole. We comment on Gwen's return to and mission in Wales, and discuss the pivotal moments for the character of Vera Juarez during the episode. Performances seemed a little off this time around, and even Bill Pullman wasn't up to his usual best. We also look at some past Torchwood episodes, and make some new recommendations for some of the new fans out there. All this and more on the latest TARDISblend!

Walton Goggins Joins ‘G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation’ Posted: 16 Aug 2011 08:52 AM PDT While his stock is very much rising, particularly after his stint on various TV shows and bit parts in huge films (I'm thinking Predators and Cowboys & Aliens), Walton Goggins has yet to nab a meaty role for himself. That may have just changed. Goggins has joined the cast of the upcoming film, G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, and will play Warden Nigel James. Information surrounding James is light, as it appears as though he's not an immensely popular character, but it should prove to be quite an interesting turn for the actor [...]

Music Review: Muppets: The Green Album Posted: 16 Aug 2011 06:30 AM PDT Muppets: The Green Album Various Artists CD | MP3 Walt Disney Records Release date: August 23, 2011 NPR is currently streaming the upcoming compilation album Muppets: The Green Album for free (you can listen to the entire album right here below). The album features many of today's most popular artists covering classic Muppets tunes. I generally stay clear of "tribute" albums or compilations where your new favorite bands are assembled like some kind of snotty superhero team. This is because the implied mission of these records is to teach us morons how cool people like Buddy Holly were. (See: Rave On. Actually, don't.) And besides, for those of us who already enjoy the subjects being covered, you only want to put the originals on when these little smug-fests are over. I get it. You like Leonard Cohen. So do we. However, Muppets: The Green Album is one of the more fun various artist collabs I've heard since that Carpenters joint from the nineties. Starting with The Ok Go's wonderfully reworked version of the "Muppets Theme," you're immediately invited into a world where the narrative isn't so "Hey, dum-dum! I know better than you!" Alkaline Trio's "Movin' Right Along" will have you tapping your toes at your cubicles. And The Fray have a great time with "Mahna Mahna.: Although, just about every performance is more optimistic than the next, My Morning Jacket runs away with the album with an absolutely gorgeous version of "Our World."
