Submitted by Chrissie on Tuesday, Oct 20th 2009

"Camp Hope," a film about all the fun things that can happen at an indoctrinating Christian summer camp, takes the Jesus thing and makes it angsty. I thought "Jesus Camp" was scary enough, but producer turned writer/director George VanBuskirk thinks he can do it one better by adding Jesse Eisenberg.

For those of you that think vampires have grown a bit too soft and emo these days, you might be excited to hear that Vinnie Jones has signed on to star in "The Bleeding". Vinnie Jones; vampire hunter? Sounds good to me.

Jesse Eisenberg, star of "Zombieland" is bringing us more horror, this time in a movie called "Camp Hope". No zombies this time around, instead we watch as Jesse faces inherent evil as it invades a children's spiritual retreat! "This one time... at Jesus camp..."

Screenwriter Akiva Golddman, responsible for such films as "I Am Legend" and "Batman and Robin" bring news of a new version of "Swamp Thing" is in development.

Those of you that were fearing the inevitable announcement of "Scary Movie 5" can put those fears to rest. Instead, you can dredge up a whole new host of fears as the Weinsteins opt to go with a "Scary Movie" reboot. "Scary Movie 1: Again". Nothing snarky here, I'm just going to let that one soak in a bit.

Swiss authorities stop a man who gives a whole new meaning to the term 'reckless driving' when he racks up 15 different traffic violations in just under 11 minutes. That's dedication folks.

Not accustomed to the Indian Summer and the unseasonably warm temps, a 125 lb. Black Bear saunters into a Minnesota grocery story and sits in the beer cooler for an hour. The bear was eventually tranquilized and is doing fine. Yes, I'm okay. No, I haven't been to Minnesota anytime in the past few days.

Cesar Lopez is a pothead; literally. Police bust him as he walks into a convenience store with a bag of weed stuck to his forehead.
