Did You Know?: The Exorcist

Did you know, that John Boorman was actually approached to direct The Exorcist? Boorman was approached but declined because he felt story was "too cruel towards children." He later went on to direct the god awful sequel The Exorcist II: The Heretic. Those are just some of the facts I bet you didn't know about The Exorcist. Dive in and see what else I dug up on one of the most genre defining series.

This was just cruel to about everyone...

R Rating Is To Blame For Low Ticket Sales? FUCK YOU

We all know that Cinemacon is well on its way in Las Vegas. John Fithian, president and chief executive of the National Association of Theater Owners has blamed R rated films as the reason why seats aren't being filled.
“The weight of too many R-rated movies.” He also said “Make more family-friendly films and fewer R-rated titles, Americans have stated their choice."
Maybe it's because we haven't good movies this year? Like Dark Skies, The Last Exorcism Part 2 and Texas Chainsaw 3D. Maybe we need better movies and fewer less R rated films.
If Americans have stated their choice then how come Texas Chainsaw 3D was 1st in its opening weekend, Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters #1 in its opening weekend and Evil Dead was #1 in its opening weekend oh, and Identity Theft was also #1 in its opening weekend.
So is it the R rating? or is it just a scape goat because of the recent shootings that have taken place.

Swamp Thing Blu Ray Art Revealed

I love Swamp Thing, it's one of my favorite cheesy 80's man in a suit monster movie. So when Scream Factory announced that they were releasing Swamp Thing on Blu-ray I fist pumped the air and screamed "YEAH!"
Now, to get us Swamp Thing fans more excited Scream Factory has revealed the box art for the release.
The only sad part is that we don't get the 93 minute unrated cut due to legal issues as Scream Factory says.
