A new teaser trailer has been released unto the unsuspecting internet for Riddick. This trailer reveals the long suspected third part of the David Twhoy Pitch Black trilogy.

Vin Diesel returns as the monster/space death-cult fighting antihero Riddick in the possible blockbuster but most likely newest cult sensation movie.

Watch the teaser and read my thoughts on it below the cut.

We just found out that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire star Alan Ritchson has been cast as Raphael in the Michael Bay-produced and Jonathan Liebesman-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and now comes actors for the remaining three turtles.

It’s being reported that Jeremy Howard will be playing Donatello in the movie, Noel Fisher is playing Michelangelo, and Pete Ploszek will be Leonardo. All of the turtle (yes, yes, we all like them) roles will be performance capture, along the same lines as James Cameron’s Avatar.

Today is the birthday of Leonard Nimoy, the actor and science-fiction legend who is best remembered for playing the Vulcan character Spock on Star Trek, which remains one of television’s biggest cult and mainstream successes of all time.

Nimoy played a character in Spock which perfectly bounced off of Captain James T. Kirk, the equally memorable character on the show played by William Shatner, and the two men were like a intergalactic Lennon/McCartney in a metaphoric sense and even like a sci-fi version of The Odd Couple sometimes; the cool, emotionless, logical demeanor of Nimoy’s Spock bouncing Saturn-like rings around the emotional, zealous, and passionate fervor of Kirk. The two characters formed a mutual admiration society with each other, regardless of their perceptions of the other’s foibles and shortcomings, and successfully navigated their way through endless adventures, as the famous catchphrase goes, “seeking out new civilizations and boldly going where no man has gone before.”

Today, TeeFury is doing one of their special “Twofury” deals with two themed shirts for $11 each. One is a Walking Dead-themed shirt by Whitebison called “Surrounded By Death” (at left in black); the other is a Doctor Who-themed shirt by wuxter called “Gallifrey Brick” (at right in black).

The sale began at Teefury today, Tuesday, March 25, 2013, at midnight EST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

“Please don’t scream, you’re so beautiful.”

Psycho meets Drive in Maniac, Franck Khalfoun‘s remake of William Lustig’s 1980 horror film of the same name.

In this art-house slasher flick, Frank Zito (Elijah Wood) is a lonely schizophrenic who spends his nights prowling the streets of Los Angeles, stalking and murdering young women.

When he isn’t painstakingly restoring vintage mannequins, Frank is a professional serial killer. He scalps women and takes their scalps and clothing back to his dimly-lit abode, where he decorates his life-sized dolls as fucked-up trophies.

Once a mannequin has been gussied up to his satisfaction, Frank sleeps with his new girlfriend for several nights, using her to carry on one-sided conversations with his deceased mother, Angela (America Olivo), a rather negligent prostitute who subjected him to years of psychosexual abuse.
