Somewhere over the past year the line between television drama and reality blurred. There is a President who talks down to people, commit heinous acts of violence and depravity, we have issues with the Russians, and we live in a perpetual state of fear from terrorist cells worldwide… quick, am I talking about America 2017 or Season 4 of House of Cards? A show that cuts this close to reality is not going to be shy with the current scope of American politics, and I expect this will be a unique and interesting season for Netflix’s award winning political thriller. I wait with baited breath to see how far the writers will push the boundaries.

Spoilers below.

#FU2016 seems like art imitating life, but the art is soooo much more fun. Netflix has released the House of Cards official season 4 trailer, and it is as ominous as we know Frank Underwood’s (Kevin Spacey) dark abyss of a soul to be.

Check out the official trailer below.

Having already adapted the 1980s film Teen Wolf into a successful TV series, MTV is now setting their sights on another popular movie, or movie franchise to be more precise. According to the TVLine, MTV will now be turning the Scream film franchise into a televised series. The report does not mention if Scream creator Wes Craven will be a part of the creative process, but one would hope he would be brought in at least to consult on the series itself.

Each and every one of the Scream movies had Neve Campbell‘s character Sidney Prescott being attacked by different killers wearing the same hooded Ghostface mask. And each and every one of those films brought the elements of the horror genre past and present into real life world. It’s not known if MTV will follow the same formula used in the films or even if they will use the same characters, but based on how many horror films are out there and how many will come to pass, there’s a lot of material that MTV could use as inspiration for a couple of episodes. Just don’t expect Emmy-nominated material, in fact, think more along the lines of the Teen Choice Awards.

Part of this weekend’s digital rental deal over at Amazon this weekend is Scream 4 for only $1.99.

This deal is valid through Sunday, February 19, 2012, until 11:59pm PST. Once you activate the rental through Amazon’s Instant Video on demand service, you’ll have access to the movie for 24 hours. If you’re interested in purchasing the digital version, the cost is $14.99.

The Blu-ray/DVD Combo edition is part of Amazon’s “Buy This DVD and Watch it Instantly” program “” you get the film as a FREE digital rental you can watch immediately when your purchase the physical copy.

It seems fitting to celebrate tax day, April 15th, with Ghostface hacking and slashing his way through more victims in Scream 4.

The first Scream was a clever little piece of film making that unfortunately ripped the heart out of horror films for years after its release. Instead of getting horror films we got tons of “me too” goofy horror films and wanna be hip riffs on horror. That’s a lot of baggage to pile on one movie but that just proves the impact that Scream had.
