$5 MP3 Album Deal: Bob Marley ‘The Anthology’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 08:20 PM PDT As part of Amazon's monthly $5 MP3 album deal for June 2012, Bob Marley's The Anthology is on sale for only $5. Not only was Bob Marley the first music superstar to hail from the Third World, he literally changed the entire world by making words like ska, dub, reggae, and Rastafari part of the global lexicon. His legacy of bringing the world's people together in the name of love and truth lives on today in his music 31 years after he was laid to rest. The Anthology, which contains 45 songs, features some of the earliest recordings of Bob Marley and the Wailers, including the entire Soul Rebels album, which was technically their third but the first one released outside of Jamaica. While you won't find all the familiar radio hits here, you'll get a deeper appreciation for the revolution in sound that Bob Marley created in the late '60s and early '70s. Browse the main sale page to see the other 99 albums on sale for only $5 each in MP3 format through the end of June 2012 [...]

Batman and Superman To Save The Day In WB’s ‘Lego: The Piece Of Resistance’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 07:15 PM PDT It may not be the Justice League movie we've been waiting for, but it's sure as hell close enough to being one. Batman and Superman, two iconic DC comic characters that have been the face of superhero movies, will now be appearing in Warner Bros. upcoming 3D Lego movie, Lego: The Piece of Resistance, which will fuse together live-action and "Lego-based animation." The film is to be directed by Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street helmers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Chris McKay will co-direct. [...]

‘Lord Of The Rings’ Star Sean Astin Joins New ‘Cabin Fever’ Movie ‘Patient Zero’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 06:12 PM PDT The Goonies and Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin has joined the cast of Cabin Fever: Patient Zero, the upcoming installment in the franchise started by Eli Roth's 2002 indie horror, Cabin Fever. The movie is actually one of two new movies on the way, the other titled Cabin Fever: Outbreak. When we first told you about the two movies last November, they were said to be sequels. Now it's unclear what they are. Some say a reboot or spin-offs, perhaps prequels...who knows. [...]

Watch Now: First Trailer For Blue Sky Studio’s ‘EPIC’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Blue Sky Studios may not have as many titles in their library as Pixar or DreamWorks Animation, but they do have some pretty respectable ones. Take Ice Age, for instance. Though the film lacks great stories, it has become one of the most profitable film franchises for the studio. Then there's Rio, also a very profitable film, and one that has earned a few awards along the way. Now comes EPIC, a film that takes Ferngully, and turns into an epic adventure of all shapes and sizes. You can see the first trailer for the movie below. [...]

Jena Malone Approached To Play Johanna Mason In ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 04:00 PM PDT Some Hunger Games purists have complained that Mia Wasikowska and Zoe Aggeliki are too young to play the role of the sarcastic tribute Johanna Mason. While that may be up for debate, a new name has entered the casting fray. According to EW, Jena Malone is now one of the frontrunners to play as Johanna. The actress has the right look and appears to be of age of the same character – which should definitely appease fans of the series. Malone was in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch and can be seen in History Channel miniseries Hatfields & McCoys [...]

Out Now: ‘Seeking Justice’ With Nicolas Cage Posted: 26 Jun 2012 03:00 PM PDT If you're looking for a new action thriller to check out, Seeking Justice has been released on DVD and Blu-ray. The movie stars Nicolas Cage as a man named Will who, after his wife Laura (January Jones) is attacked and hospitalized, takes an offer from a mysterious man named Simon (Guy Pearce), who promises to take care of the man who attacked his wife in exchange for one small favor at a later date. [...]

Digital Comics Deal: Image’s #1 (2012) Sale Posted: 26 Jun 2012 02:00 PM PDT Image Comics has put out a great deal of amazing comics over the past few months including books like America's Got Powers, Fatale, Saga, and so many more, and it seems like I'm not the only one who's noticed such events. The fine folks over at Comixology are currently running a 3-day digital sale on all of the number one issues during Image's 20th Anniversary. Most of the time when I write up these sales, I try to differentiate between the good and the bad to tell you all what you should avoid and what you must read. Well, things are a little different here as I strongly suggest you pick up as many of these as you can. Each one of these comics has a lot to offer to readers and by having only #1 issues available, it's a great way to test the series. Now, if it were me, I'd have to say that you should read Mind The Gap, Saga, Fatale, America's Got Powers, The Manhattan Projects, Secret, and Heart, but like I said before, you can't go wrong with any of these. So, what are you going to do? I'll give you the answer, spend $20 dollars and buy the collected #1 download. It's simple math, you should buy each one of these comics, but there are 23 comics at $1 a piece, so spend three dollars less and get all of them. Boom. Donezo [...]

$5 MP3 Album Deal: The Black Crowes ‘Croweology’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 01:00 PM PDT Another great MP3 deal is on Amazon this month! Croweology, the anthology of classic cuts and cool and hot rockers by The Black Crowes, is available for only $5.00. The Black Crowes came out of Athens, Georgia in 1989 and found success with their cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle." Fusing together classic rock sounds similar to what English bands like Humble Pie, Free, and The Small Faces were doing, with country-esque blues played ala Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes released albums during the 1990s and beyond that were adventurous musical road maps of early sounds and new ones, creating a retro yet contemporary niche and welcome path for a fan not weaned on mid 1990s genres of music (Seattle Grunge, post punk, post heavy metal, gothic metal). Croweology finds the band in fine fettle, on tracks like "Jealous Again," "Sister Luck," the radio classic "She Talks to Angels," and power ballads like "Bad Luck, Blue Eyes" and "Ballad in Urgency." 20 tracks round out the album, spanning some of the best of their work from the 1990s. Good stuff by a band that took a lot from the past to shape their own musical present [...]

Activision Making Video Game Version Of Disney’s ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 12:00 PM PDT We've seen countless video game movies---movies based on existing video game titles or characters---and vice versa over the years. But rarely do we see a video game based on a movie about video games. Disney and Activision Publishing have announced that a video game based on Wreck-It Ralph, the new computer animated feature from Walt Disney Animation Studios, is on the way. [...]

Sigourney Weaver Says James Cameron Plans To Shoot ‘Avatar’ Sequels Back-To-Back Posted: 26 Jun 2012 11:00 AM PDT If and when James Cameron begins filming his Avatar sequels, everyone will be closely watching if he can match or elevate the look and feel of Pandora. Avatar is only the highest grossing film of all time, so it is only fair that the audience get something that's fresh and improved. Cameron has said that he will stop making non-Avatar films -- after he said you would have to pry Battle Angel out of his cold dead hands - and sees himself making an Avatar 4. But if he really intends to make three sequels to Avatar, one can't even imagine how long the film making process would actually take. So rather than shoot these three sequels separately, why not shoot them all together at once? At least that's what Avatar star Sigourney Weaver says will happen [...]

Comic Review: Sunset Posted: 26 Jun 2012 10:23 AM PDT Sunset Written by Christos Gage Art by Jorge Lucas Image Comics/Top Cow Productions, Inc. Release Date: July 18, 2012 Cover Price: $19.99 It's fashionable to romanticize the street-wise, toughness of old-timers who fought in WWII or the Korean War. They think our generation sucks. These grizzled vets probably think that someone reading this review on their fancy computer, or even worse their iPhone, makes them a candy ass. And, for some reason, we crave this abuse. We practically beg for it by plunking down our hard-earned cash—yes, Granddad, hard-earned—for any story starring a curmudgeonly old Luddite who doesn't take any crap. I hate to be a killjoy, but I'll let you in on a little secret: Every generation in history has thought that the next generation is too soft. Our great-great-grandparents ragged on our pansy grandparents just as harshly—you know, the ones we've labeled the Greatest Generation. Even knowing this fact, I love tales that glorify our grandparents' unyielding will and their outright refusal to let any hint of disrespect go unchecked. Sunset weaves this characteristic into a mob-action comic that's one of my favorite books this year [...]

Viggo Mortensen Offered Role In Neil Marshall’s Dracula Movie ‘The Last Voyage Of The Demeter’ Posted: 26 Jun 2012 09:00 AM PDT The Last Voyage of the Demeter is another one of those long-gestating projects that refuses to go by the wayside. The premise of a lone survivor of a ship named the Demeter that was suppose to transport a mysterious – but also dangerous – cargo from Transylvania to England has a lot of promise. David Slade was originally attached to direct the film with Prometheus star Noomi Rapace and Ben Kingsley talking the lead roles. However, that never came into fruition. Now Neil Marshall (The Descent, Doomsday) is sitting in the director's chair, and it looks like Viggo Mortensen could possibly take the lead role of Henry Clemens. [...]

Hate The ‘Mass Effect 3′ Ending? Extended Cut Available Today Posted: 26 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT Were you one of the many Mass Effect fans enraged by the highly questionable choices of BioWare in regard to the ending of their trilogy-maker, Mass Effect 3? If so, you were happy to discover that the company admitted to the weakness in their closing moments of the game, and have since been awaiting the changes they promised to make in hopes of remedying the problems.
