Weekend Box Office Predictions 4/30
Coming off a very flat weekend at the box office one movie hopes to provide a jolt, though it is unlikely to be enough to carry the Top 10 back over the $100 million mark. The reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street will easily capture the top spot while Furry Vengeance as the other new entry will be largely ignored. (more…)...

Madden Rookie Screenshots: AFC
Those of you who follow on Twitter and Facebook have been able to check out screenshots of some of the rookies in their pro uniforms over the course of the week. Those are still up and can be most easily found in the Facebook photo album (make sure to "like" the page while there!). These screens go beyond that group, offering up different shots of the same players and screens of others who were drafted. I tried to grab as many as possible in Madden 10 by using the NCAA 10 draft classes. It ...

UFC 2010 Demo Out Codes Out Now
After a tumultuous day the demo for UFC 2010 Undisputed is now available to members of the community website.

The code is then entered on the console in order to initiate the download of the demo.

UFC 2010 Demo May Be Further Delayed
For the most part the whole troubled demo situation for UFC 2010 Undisputed has been magnified by a lack of communication. Much of that was discussed in the earlier article, as codes were supposed to come out in the early AM hours but never did, and it wasn't until after noon pacific time that THQ provided any sort of update. That was to announce the code distribution would be delayed until the evening hours. The most recent official update was one saying they are "working on getting them out ...

Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street
Several horror franchises have successfully rebooted over the past few years by offering an updated stylistic look and fresh take on the stories. The Platinum Dunes production company has been behind a few of those including Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th. A Nightmare on Elm Street will not be able to lay claim to a similar feat as the others. Jackie Earle Haley did a good enough job as a replacement for Robert Englund in the role of Freddy Krueger. However the other performanc...

Trailer for Jonah Hex
Warner Brothers has released the full theatrical trailer for Jonah Hex. The movie based on the DC comic stars Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, and John Malkovich. I saw this trailer at a screening of A Nightmare on Elm Street last night (review coming tonight) and it was probably the highlight of the evening. Jonah Hex is slated to release on June 18. Having cheated death, gunslinger and bounty hunter Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) has one foot in the natural world and one in the supernatural realm. Jonah's ...

Rough Start to UFC 2010 Demo Process
The big news of the day was to be the release of the demo for UFC 2010 Undisputed. As noted previously, codes are being given out to all members of the UFC 2010 community site. They were supposed to be released in the early AM hours. Not only has that not happened yet, but the site has been down throughout the morning as it struggles to deal with the traffic, and THQ has not updated the community at all on the events that are taking place. When the info about the distribution of the demo ca...
