This Pacific Rim Wondercon Trailer Makes this Nerd Very Happy

Submitted by Casey on Tuesday, Apr 30th 2013

I'll be frank; I love giant monster movies. Mix in Guillermo Del Toro directing a giant monster movies and well, I'm paying attention. Then, you tell me it has giant robots in it? Well, now you're just pandering right to me, right?

Well judging from this Wondercon trailer for Pacific Rim, they are. It looks like they're doing one hell of a job too. There appears to be multiple giant monsters, nothing but action, total carnage and that last shot of the robot smacking around a monster with an oil tanker? Yes, I'm sporting a serious nerd chub here.

Horror Headlines: Tuesday April 30th, 2013

Submitted by Joe on Tuesday, Apr 30th 2013

I know what you're asking yourself right now and here's the answer. If they ever make a "The Real Househusbands Of Chicago" and I'm cast on the show my tag line would be "I showered today, but you'd never know it".

"The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death", the sequel to the 2012 film which made me pee my pants, has cast Jeremy Irvine and Phoebe Fox in the film's leads roles. The film takes place four decades after the events of the first movie and follows a nurse trying to save a group of young children who are being taken out one by one by the woman in black. Am I the only one who sees a great opportunity for a follow up to the 1986 classic Chris de Burgh song "Lady In Red" here?

Gabourey Sidibe is the latest name to be added to the cast of the upcoming season of "American Horror Story: Coven: Based On a Novel By the Guy Who Created 'Glee'" (not the show's real name). No details on what kind of role she'll be playing but we do know that the third season of the show will also feature Kathy Bates and revolve around a witch coven so if I was to guess I'd say I still have no idea what type of role she'll play.

J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot appears to be hard at work on obtaining the rights to the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's "11/22/63". The book tells the story of a man who sets out to stop the assassination of John F Kennedy when he discovers that he can travel back in time. I'm pretty sure it's the longest book in the world and I've been reading it off and on for close to 6 months so my hope is that by the time the movie is picked up and made I will be close to finishing it.

"The Last Exorcism Part II" will hit DVD and Blu-Ray on June 18th, be chock full of extras, a commentary track and so much more. You shouldn't buy it.

In Real People News: 

Dennis McCauley, a find upstanding 64 year old man from Michigan, apparently lived for 6 months with the rotting corpse of his 72 year old trailer mate. I get it. Sometimes it's nice to just sit in silence with someone for a while.

It's hard to believe but a drunken gun training session that took place in a couple's Pennsylvania basement ended up with a husband dead and a wife being charged with manslaughter. No one could have seen it coming.

Album Review: Arsis - "Unwelcome"

Submitted by M. Drew on Tuesday, Apr 30th 2013

To say that Arsis has had a long, convoluted career path is a wild, reckless understatement. Birthed in California, the band’s career lineup cycle has more twists and turns than your standard daytime soap opera plot. So it’s a testament to the hearty will of frontman James Malone that this new album “Unwelcome” even exists. Arsis continues to try and persevere in the chokes underground universe of technical death metal.

Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal (REVIEW)

Submitted by eslead on Monday, Apr 29th 2013

“Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal” is literally what you think it would be about from the name. A mute man named Eddie has the dark talent of turning cannibalistic once he falls asleep. Throw in a creatively starved artist using Eddie’s night attacks as inspiration for paintings and you have the full picture. Let me make it clear that this film is listed as a horror comedy which aided me in examining the purpose behind this plot. If you love “Shaun of the Dead” and the satirical yet bloody good “Cabin in the Woods” then...you’ll probably want to avoid this one.

Album Review: The Melvins - "Everybody Loves Sausages"

Submitted by M. Drew on Monday, Apr 29th 2013

It is an irrefutable truth when considering any Melvins album that one of the only ways to appropriately discuss the music is to reflexively use the band’s name as an adjective. The Melvins, some twenty years after Kurt Cobain made them a musical household name, have carved themselves an undeniable niche that is populated solely by Buzz Osborne and his band. No one else sounds like this; no one can even being to capture the “throw it all out there and see what takes” attitude and creativity of King Buzzo.
