Let Me In is directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and stars Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) as a young vampire that befriends a boy who is constantly being picked on.

Comic-Con Trailer: True Blood
At the Comic-Con panel for True Blood a new trailer was released looking forward to the second half of the season. Needless to say there are major spoilers involved, and that even applies to anyone that is completely caught up on the series. However it is a a pretty cool look at what is to come with some wild suggestions being made in the footage. Often I find previews for the next episode to give a bit too much away, though sometimes it is misdirection, but I was surprised to see how much was...

Burn Notice Prequel Movie in the Works
At the Comic-Con panel for Burn Notice it was announced that the USA series will be getting a prequel in the form of a movie. The prequel will focus on Bruce Campbell's character Sam and his military past. I'm a big fan of Burn Notice and really enjoy Campbell's role in it, but it'll be interesting to see whether he can pull off a full movie for the character on its own. Seems like he plays well off the other characters in the show but certainly the potential is there for more....
