Yeah! I’m excited by this news as when I was in LA a few weeks back I was actually one of the lucky thousands who got to see It Follows on opening weekend, a film which I can only describe as The Rings meets John Carpenter’s old school Halloween. One of the best-reviewed films of the year will expand to 1,200 theaters on Friday. Bolstered by strong word of mouth and critical acclaim, audiences came in droves on opening weekend – Friday, 13th – earning the film $160,089 in just four locations for a per theater average of $40,022. Honestly, It Follows had the best limited opening for a horror film since Paranormal Activity, boasting 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and garnering over $600,000 in box office to date. Check out the rest of the press release below from RADiUS. Continue reading ‘‘It Follows’ Expands to 1,200 Screens’

I have a lot of friends that should be very happy about this trailer based on the HBO Comedy series. Movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), together with his boys, Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Johnny (Kevin Dillon), are back…and back in business with super-agent-turned-studio head Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Some of their ambitions have changed, but the bond between them remains strong as they navigate the capricious and often cutthroat world of Hollywood. And about 11 hours ago Warner Bros. dropped on the Earth Entourage’s “Official Main Trailer.” Enjoy it below! Continue reading ‘Entourage – The Official Main Trailer’

I think I’m actually one of the very few critics out there who didn’t hate Fifty Shades of Grey. Sure I’m not a big fan of the novel of the same name, but the film adaptation doesn’t stray much at all so what you see on the pages is literally what you see on the screen. I can get behind that, but I don’t understand all the haters out there. Nonetheless, I’m my own man, confident and sometimes strong. LOL. So ladies (I’ll leave the gentlemen out of this one), get ready to scream as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are coming home to Blu-ray HD on May 8th. If you don’t believe me, check out the full press release below from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Continue reading ‘Fifty Shades of Grey Steams It Up on Blu-ray’

More 90s horror from Scream Factory. Here’s another more recent cult classic, the Patricia Arquette-starring Stigmata. I remember this one being pretty popular amongst us “alternative” kids back in the day for some reason. While I never owned it, I do remember renting it a few times VHS. It’ll be interesting to revisit the film as I was always sort of indifferent on it and I’m currently having trouble recalling much. Anyway, who better to house it than Scream Factory. Today, they provide us with the details of their release. There isn’t one currently from Amazon, but I’m sure a pre-order link will be up soon. So, scroll on down to find out more on Stigmata‘s Blu-ray debut. Enjoy! Continue reading ‘STIGMATA Starring Academy Award Winner Patricia Arquette Debuts On Blu-ray May 19th!’
