‘Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection’ On Blu-ray This Fall Posted: 28 Jun 2012 07:28 PM PDT If we could all just bow our heads, please. A moment of silence for my wallet, which just died of a sudden and painful one-two punch of Blu-Ray pre-orders. First Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures, now this... In celebration of Universal's 100th anniversary, eight iconic movie monsters are being resurrected and digitally restored (for the first time ever) on Blu-Ray. Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection is the definitive box set for film buffs and horror aficionados. Just in time for Halloween, the collection will be released on October 2nd for yet-to-be-announced price. [...]

Documentary On Late ‘Spartacus’ Star Andy Whitfield’s Cancer Battle Seeks Fan Help Via Kickstarter Posted: 28 Jun 2012 06:30 PM PDT If you're like me, you were absolutely stunned to discover that Andy Whitfield, the 39-year-old star of the hit Starz series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, had lost his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Obviously any type of cancer is a very serious thing, but all hopes were that Whitfield would find a way to beat the disease. What we didn't know, however, is that Whitfield's battle was being documented by Lilibet Foster (Academy Award nominee for 1999's Speaking in Strings) in hopes of creating something special to inspire people who are in similar fights to the one Andy faced, and everyone else to get out there and live life to the fullest every single day.

M83 To Score Tom Cruise Sci-Fi Movie ‘Oblivion’; New Synopsis Released Posted: 28 Jun 2012 05:22 PM PDT Joseph Kosinski knows how to pick his composers. When Kosinski made his directorial debut with Tron: Legacy, he brought in the electronica duo Daft Punk to add the musical spark of life to the film. In fact it was Daft Punk's music that was the most memorial parts of the movie. Now Kosinski is setting up for his next feature, Oblivion. Filming has already begun with Tom Cruise taking the lead as a repairman who starts to question everything he knows when he comes across a mysterious pod with a live woman inside of it. [...]

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Could Be Marvel’s Mystery Film Posted: 28 Jun 2012 04:22 PM PDT Marvel still has a vacant May 16th 2014 release on their slate. With Captain America 2 taking a very surprising April 4th 2014 release, there was some speculation that the film taking the May 2014 date would be either Guardians of the Galaxy, or Edgar Wright's long-gestating Ant-Man. Then came word that the the studio was working on a movie for Black Panther. [...]

$5 MP3 Album Deal: Bush ‘The Sea of Memories’ Posted: 28 Jun 2012 02:28 PM PDT As part of Amazon's monthly $5 MP3 album deal for June 2012, Bush's The Sea of Memories is on sale for only $5. If you would like a physical copy of The Sea of Memories, the CD is available for only $13.03. Bush is one of those bands that gets lumped into the mid-90's post-grunge commercial hard rock sack. Not that they were a bad band, I mean, who doesn't automatically sing Machinehead when it comes on in Modell's? The Sea of Memories is Bush's fifth studio album, recorded ten years after their last one, Golden State, following an eight year breakup. It's not a bad little album, actually, as it doesn't stray too far from Sixteen Stone, the group's very popular debut album. 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 [...]

Interview: Matt Kindt, Writer and Artist For ‘Mind MGMT’ Posted: 28 Jun 2012 12:57 PM PDT You're on an airplane and you suddenly forget who you are. And it's not just you; the stewardess, the guy next to you, the whole plane, including the pilots, have all forgotten who they are and what they're doing there. This is the imagery that opens Dark Horse's new ongoing series, Mind MGMT. Written and drawn by Matt Kindt , a master of off-beat espionage storytelling, Mind MGMT tells the story of Meru, an investigative reporter and bestselling author who delves into a fact-finding mission to uncover what cause of the strange flight, a journey that will take her across the world and across the path of dangerous rogue mentalists. Depending on who you ask, Kindt (3 Story, Super Spy) is either one of the most indie guys working in mainstream comics or one of the most kick-ass dudes working in indie comics. We chatted with him about his career, doing his first monthly title and hiding Easter Eggs on his pages. Geeks of Doom: So much of the story is about memory, how did you approach exploring memory and the loss of it in the comic book medium? Matt Kindt: I feel like I'm always tackling memory in every book I've done in some way or another. Usually it's because that's how I'm trying to think of how my own memory works. What do I remember? Why do I remember that? That kind of thing [...]

Paul Dini Returns To Gotham To Write Batman Original Graphic Novel Posted: 28 Jun 2012 09:00 AM PDT Universally loved writer and producer of Batman: The Animated Series Paul Dini will finally be returning to DC Comics to write a Batman original graphic novel. Paul Dini is one who has blurred the lines between animated series/television writer and comic book scribe for the past few decades, but one character has stood out as a go-to for the writer and that is none other than Batman. Rabid Batman fans came to know Dini from his excellent work on Batman: The Animated Series, but following that Dini has had a lot of success as a comic book storyteller, most recently with Dini's Detective Comics run, most specifically Heart of Hush, which led to Batman: Streets of Gotham and Gotham City Sirens in the wake of Grant Morrison's Batman RIP story arc. Dini was one of the few writers to be a part of the post-Bruce Wayne Gotham, and did so to the praise of many fans [...]

‘Total Recall’ Trailer: Colin Farrell Loses His Memory, Has Girl Problems Posted: 28 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT Colin Farrell has caught himself in quite a situation. Not only can he not tell what is real and what isn't but he also has two beautiful women looking for him. One wants to kill him and the other wants to protect him. A new trailer for Total Recall has appeared online which includes some nods to the Arnold Schwarzenegger-vehicle released in 1990. There's the familiar circle of light that encompasses the chair, and then there's the three-breasted woman (which was promised a while back, even with the planned PG-13 rating). Check out the trailer below. [...]

Pre-Order Now: Season 1 Of Animated Series ‘Dan Vs.’ Posted: 28 Jun 2012 07:00 AM PDT An animated series that some of you may be familiar with and others not at all familiar with, Dan Vs. is finally making its way to home video. The show, which comes from the same animation studio behind episodes of Family Guy, The Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head, and King of the Hill, airs on Discovery and Hasbro's The Hub network, but, if you're like myself, is also a show you've never heard of---to the point of it already getting through a significant chunk of its second season unnoticed---on a channel you've never heard of.
