| MP3 Album Deal: Evanescence For $4 Posted: 06 Jan 2012 06:02 AM PST  The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Evanescence, the latest release from the band Evanescence, for only $3.99. If you'd like a physical copy of Evanescence, there's also a special CD version is available for $11.61. The album, which was released in October 2011 and is the band's third studio release, contains 12 songs, and the MP3 version comes with the digital booklet [...]            |
| Comic Review: The Bionic Man #5 Posted: 05 Jan 2012 07:55 PM PST  The Bionic Man #5 Based on a story by Kevin Smith Script by Kevin Smith and Phil Hester Pencils by Jonathan Lau Colors by Ivan Nunes Letters by Simon Bowland Covers by Alex Ross, Jonathan Lau Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: December 21, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 Hot Damn! It's Steve Austin on his first all-out undercover adventure with his brand new bionics. While fun, it's not at all what I was expecting from The Bionic Man #5. OK, let's get one thing straight, and for me to do this I HAVE to go into spoiler territory: While the story is a LOT of fun, there was something about it that bothered me. Writers Kevin Smith and Phil Hester have brilliantly updated the bionic man and his powers significantly from the 1970s, but there's one of his new powers I'm not that fond of [...]      |
| Mark Pavia Working On Stephen King Anthology Film Posted: 05 Jan 2012 05:50 PM PST  Be it a horror story like The Shining or a pure drama like Stand By Me, writer Stephen King, while not being this person's favorite author, does have one of the more expansive libraries around. And now writer/director Mark Pavia will attempt to prove that. The filmmaker recently spoke with Icons Of Fright, and revealed that he's set to start production on an anthology film based on four short stories penned by King, with the author choosing two, and then Pavia choosing two. Sounds intriguing enough. [...]      |
| Warner Brothers Shuts Down Production On Live-Action ‘Akira’ Movie Posted: 05 Jan 2012 04:29 PM PST  Warner Brothers has been attempting to bring a live-action adaption of Akira to the big screen for a long while now, with many budgetary complications and cast and crew issues leading to delay after delay...much to the elation of fans who don't want to see it happen. Lately, however, things appeared to be moving forward, and doing so at a quick pace. Beginning this past October, the movie was officially greenlighted after some budget problems were ironed out and a star was found in Tron: Legacy's Garrett Hedlund. [...]      |
| Exclusive: First Look At Creepy Quarterly #8 and Creepy Archives, Vol. 13 Covers Posted: 05 Jan 2012 03:00 PM PST  Our colleagues in chaos over at Dark Horse Comics were kind enough to give us an exclusive first look at two horrifically awesome covers from their upcoming Creepy comics! You can check them both out here below. First up we've got Creepy Quarterly #8. This cover, which depicts one very unlucky individual's encounter with a stake and some rope, was created by Richard Corben, whose work you'll recognize from Creepy, Eerie, Hellboy, Jonah Hex, and most recently Men of War. The 48-page issue is set to hit the stands on April 4th, and features stories and art by Jeff Parker, Doug Moench, Rick Geary, Colleen Coover, Kelly Jones, and Richard Corben, as well as a throwback story from Bruce Jones and Bernie Wrightson!

| Watch Now: John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ Featuring The Cast of ‘Pingu’ Posted: 05 Jan 2012 01:34 PM PST  There are few movies I love in the world more than John Carpenter's 1982 remake of The Thing. Actually there are two -- Evil Dead 2 and Blade Runner -- but that's not the point. I love The Thing more than the original Alien most days. It's just a perfect amalgam of vintage and modern horror-tinged sci-fi with an oppressively effective setting, terrific ensemble acting, innovative practical creature effects that remain horrifying to this day, and an infinitely more quotable script than Alien (Aliens, not so much) [...]      |
| ‘Piranha 3DD’ Still Heading To Theaters Posted: 05 Jan 2012 12:01 PM PST  Sure, the first film may have been shockingly entertaining in its gruesome and somewhat inventive use of piranha-based violence, but expectations for the sequel, Piranha 3DD, aren't all that high. However, that doesn't mean you'll be seeing it skip out on theaters. Early this week, rumors arose via Digital Spy that the film's distributors, Entertainment Film Distributors, planned to release the film directly to DVD and Blu-ray on March 19. However, director John Gulager has spoken to STYD and revealed that the film is still set to hit theaters come this spring [...]      |
| Kanye West To Be The Creative Director For A Jetson’s Movie? Posted: 05 Jan 2012 10:02 AM PST  No one rants like Kanye West rants. Over Wednesday night, the beloved and controversial rapper took to Twitter to discuss a cavalcade of things ranging from our broken education systems, to what he saw during his and Jay-Z's recent "Watch The Throne" Tour. And apparently, he revealed something kind of crazy. The artist revealed that he has been approached to be the creative director for the much talked about and impending Jetsons film [...]      |
| Blu-ray Review: Final Destination 5 Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:01 AM PST  Final Destination 5 Blu-ray | DVD DIRECTED BY: Steven Quale WRITTEN BY: Eric Heisserer STARRING: Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, David Koechner, Tony Todd, Courtney B. Vance, P.J. Byrne, Ellen Wroe, Jacqueline MacInnes-Wood Warner Brothers RELEASE DATE: December 27, 2011 The last time we had a brush with death was in 2010's The Final Destination. As it turned out, that installment in the horror movie franchise was by far the worst of them all with horrible acting, nonsensical situations, soap opera-level acting, and just an all-around unlikable final product. And that's coming from someone who very much enjoyed the previous installments in the series for what they are: gruesomely fun guilty pleasures. [...]      |
| Former ‘Doctor Who’ Star Noel Clarke Joins ‘Star Trek’ Cast Posted: 05 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST  Noel Clarke, actor and director from the UK who previously held a recurring role as Mickey Smith in Doctor Who, has been cast in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek sequel. At this point, it is not fully clear what Clarke's role will be or how large it is, but it is known that he will play a family man with a wife and a daughter [...]      |
| Geek Gear: Doctor Who Goes Futurama In ‘Doctorama’ Posted: 05 Jan 2012 06:25 AM PST  The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel today is a mash-up of Doctor Who and Futurama called "Doctorama" by CoD Designs. The shirt went on sale at RIPT today, Thursday, January 5, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it's over, it will not be sold on the site anymore [...]      |
