| ‘Spider-Man: Edge of Time’ Out in Stores, Watch the Launch Trailer Posted: 04 Oct 2011 09:05 PM PDT  Wow. Apparently September/October has become the time for video game companies to release any game connected with a superhero franchise. Last week saw the release of X-Men: Destiny, Batman: Arkham City will be out in a couple of weeks, and this week sees the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time. This new game from Activision/Beenox, the makers of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, allows players to play as the Amazing Spider-Man in the present day, as well as his 2099 counterpart in an adventure to stop the death of the web-slinger [...]      |
| Music Review: Batman: Arkham City Soundtrack Posted: 04 Oct 2011 08:19 PM PDT  Batman: Arkham City Soundtrack Various Artists CD | MP3 WaterTower Music Release date: October 4, 2011 As I've stated previously, I am huge fan of the soundtracks from all the Batman films. That might have something to do with the fact that I'm a huge Batman fan, which most of you may know by now, but you may not know my love for music. So, when the two are combined, it's a perfect storm for pure Hunter Camp enjoyment. I mean, Batman-related songs from artists like Prince, Method Man, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and The Offspring have been featured on various Batman soundtracks. That's a great thing. So, when the announcement of the Batman: Arkham City soundtrack came out, to say that I was excited would be an understatement. It has literally been 14 years since the last high profile Batman soundtrack filled with popular music has come out. You may have noticed that Christopher Nolan's Batman movies have only been accompanied by purchasable score audio, and the Arkham Asylum game came with no soundtrack [...]      |
| Video: Metal ‘Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Posters Being Made To Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross’s Score Posted: 04 Oct 2011 06:49 PM PDT  A new video has been released on Mouth Taped Shut, a viral marketing Tumblr website for director David Fincher's remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, that shows some amazing metal posters being made for the movie. Even better, the almost four–minute video offers up a sample of Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's score for the film. Reznor and Ross are coming off of an Academy Award–winning collaboration on the score for Fincher's last film, Best Picture nominee The Social Network. And as for where you can get one of these posters, that's not yet known. But every movie fan is going to want one, that much is for sure. You can check out this very cool video by heading on over to the other side now! [...]      |
| Doom Delivery: ‘American Horror Story’ Bloody Garter Artifact Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:25 PM PDT  On October 5, 2011, at 10/9pm Central, the new television series American Horror Story will debut on the FX network. It's a horror genre show about a family that moves cross country to reside in what ends up being a house haunted by the spirits of some gruesomely slaughtered victims and, assumingly, murderers. If I wasn't excited before, I definitely am now. This show is right up my alley. I love the horror genre and I have my entire life, so when I saw the first full trailer when I was at a movie recently, I totally fell in love. And then this article got published. Our site runners Empress Eve and Dave3 received a bloody wedding cake from these people! How cool is that!? But there was more to this story, the folks behind American Horror Story set up a site where you can register to receive artifacts from the terrible massacre that went down in this twisted house of horrors. Needless to say, I was all in [...]      |
| Comic Review: Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files: Fool Moon #4 Posted: 04 Oct 2011 03:33 PM PDT  Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Fool Moon #4 Written by Jim Butcher and Mark Powers Art by Chase Conley Colors by Mohan Letters by Bill Tortolini Cover by Chase Conley Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: October 5, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Let me start by saying I love everything Jim Butcher has written. This was no exception. Obviously, the story was slimmed down and adapted to comic form but the source material is still there. Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Fool Moon #4 is all about Harry Dresden and Tera West finding MacFinn after his transformation into a loup garou (a very nasty type of lycanthrope). Of course, with Harry, nothing is ever simple. A bit of confusion leads Tera to attempt to attack Harry. He, however, doesn't have time for it and decides to avoid the confrontation. Quickly realizing the police are looking for them, they decide to split up after finding MacFinn. Unfortunately, MacFinn gets caught...which leads Harry to calling his almost-girlfriend, Susan, for help. […]      |

| Posted: 04 Oct 2011 10:44 AM PDT  Moriarty #5 Written by Daniel Corey Artwork by Anthony Diecidue Colors by Perry Freeze Letters by Dave Lanphear Image Comics Release Date: October 5, 2011 Cover Price: $2.99 Death is a part of life, and also one of its great mysteries. Despite death's inevitability, we know very little about what occurs after our final moments. It can be very upsetting to dwell on this thought, and it is easy to ignore because the majority of us have no idea when or how it will happen. It's impossible to change or prevent an event you know nothing about, so what point is there in fretting over it? Life is certainly easier not knowing what fate will befall you, but what if you did know? What if you were shown the exact moment of death, but not the events leading up to it? In Moriarty #5, one of fiction's greatest minds must contemplate this, and in doing so must delve into darkness for his answers [...]      |
| David Cronenberg Has Written A Sequel To ‘The Fly’ Posted: 04 Oct 2011 08:01 AM PDT  While at the New York Film Festival for the premiere of his latest film, A Dangerous Method, filmmaker David Cronenberg took the time to debunk some rumors in an interview, including the long-standing one that he was looking to direct an English language remake of the 2007 Spanish sci-fi thriller Timecrimes. But while discussing the rumor that he was possibly writing and directing a reboot of The Fly, the 1958 sci-fi horror film he successfully remade in 1986 with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis in the leads, Cronenberg dropped an interesting little nugget about his involvement with that project [...]      |
| Comic Review: Transformers #27 Posted: 04 Oct 2011 07:00 AM PDT  Transformers #27 Written by Mike Costa Art by Brendan Cahill Colors by Joana Lafuente Letters by Shawn Lee Covers by Marcelo Matere, Brendan Cahill IDW Publishing Release Date: October 5, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 OK, let's face it, there's a lot of people out there who think licensed comics are inferior. To them, I say pick up a copy of Transformers #27 and then get back to me. This issue has everything you want in a Transformers comic: Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons. Writer Mike Costa and IDW set the stage right off the back with a RECAP page!!!! People argue that the recap of the storyline should be told in the first few pages of the comic, but WHY waste the time when you've got so much story to tell? It's a great, single paragraph that brings you up to date on what's been going on, without talking down to you or making you feel bad if you haven't read the previous issues. But, I'm telling you, if you haven't read the previous issues -- shame on you! You're missing a fantastic comic [...]      |
