The newest, and hopefully the last, trailer for The Conjuring features some unexpected guests. They would be none other than the Perron family (aka, the family the movie is based on). The new marketing tool is that it has taken the family 30-years to tell their story and they are backing the movie claiming it's all true. The real Lorraine Warren has also come out in support of the film and is now
Pixar gained the reputation as the animation studio that could do no wrong. It seemed that whatever Pixar touched did well and that they would never fail. They have won and been nominated for Oscars, Golden Globes, Annie Awards, Satellite Awards, Grammys, etc.. On top of the world, right? But then Cars 2 happened.

Ever since Cars 2 it seems that Pixar has been drowning a bit and the biggest part



Apparently it can cause seizures, so exercise some caution.

Avenged Sevenfold has announced their follow-up to the 2011 album, Nightmare. The new album, titled Hail to the King, will be released on August 27, 2013.




Despite the awful cover art that looks like an 8th grade art student did it, I have high hopes for this album. I am a big A7X fan so I am hoping this is going to surpass Nightmare. It is their first album without The Rev, so we will just
This isn't really a spoiler, but in case you didn't know... many characters from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will carry over into the Mockingjay movies. However, there are still some new characters that need to be cast. One of those is Alma Coin, the leader of the rebellion against the Capitol. I'm sure many actresses are being considered for this role, as it is a very important one, but the
The movie adaptation of E.L. James' book Fifty Shades of Grey will hit theaters on August 1, 2014. That is if they can get the R-rating.

Universal acquired the rights to the entire trilogy in March 2012 and announced their intent to release movies shortly after.

Fifty Shades of Grey tells the erotic (and
Cameron Diaz has joined the new adaptation of Annie as Miss Hannigan. The role was originally offered to Sandra Bullock but she passed on it. Diaz will play the eccentric orphanage owner who gives her orphans, including Annie, a hard knock life.
Whenever I think of Miss Hannigan I think of Carol Burnett, so Diaz certainly has some big shoes to fill with this one.

So far we have Oscar nominee

I guess the indefinite postponement Universal put on Jurassic Park 4 didn't stick too well. Word is out that they are aiming for a 2015 3D release for the film that will be directed by Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed).

Robert Rodriguez's upcoming sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For has been pushed back almost a full year from this October to August 22, 2014. This comes after people realized Rodriguez had two movies opening a week apart. The other being Machete Kills, the sequel to Machete.

For all of you Loki fanatics out there you might as well soak in the parts of Thor: The Dark World that he will appear in because it seems they will be his last... at least as far as the movies go.

The sixth season of True Blood premiered this evening with "Who Are You, Really?" Was it worth the watch?

For me personally... no.

I have been a True Blood viewer since season one and haven't ever missed an episode since. Despite being an avid viewer I am the first person to say this show has a lot of problems and has been steadily going downhill for several seasons. From what I can tell from

After being in unsuccessful talks for Star Trek, Benicio del Toro has joined the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy in an unannounced role. Like most other cast members, his deal will involve multiple films so the role must be pretty substantial.
