The Oscars are only days away (February 28th). Awards will be handed out for categories from Best Picture to Best Original Score. But there is one category that is missing, that has always been missing, a category for Stunt Actors and Stunt Coordinators. Think about it, how drab would movies be without stunt actors? Just think about Deadpool without the stunts, yawn. Stunt actors provide the action that stars(most) are unwilling to do. They leap from buildings, get lit on fire, wreck cars, and do a long list of other dangerous activities at the risk of their own health and safety. Just this year, one stunt actor lost his life and another lost a limb, both on the set Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. But somehow, stunt actors are still getting over looked. It’s time we take a stand on their behalf. There is now a petition circulating that hopes to do just that. The petition, started by Amber Gallaway,

It’s hard to believe that The X-Files revival is already over. It’s an understatement to say that fans want more. The finale ended in a real cliffhanger, with Mulder and much of the world sick or dying thanks to the Smoking Man. After the finale fans took to social media with an over whelming cry for a new season. Series creator Chris Carter is willing to do another season and Fox is interested in seeing that happen. The main issue is working around everyone’s schedule. “They’re going to ask for more. The ratings were very good. They were happy with the show.” Carter told THR. “I talked to Dana Walden today. She said they’d very much like more, but nothing’s negotiated yet.” Carter continued elaborating on his conversation with Walden. “It was casual, we like the way it worked out. So there’s an appetite for more in the future, it’s just a matter of figuring out how to get it

Last year we reported that Don Mancini, who created that little red-headed psycho killer doll, Chucky, was working on the seventh film of the franchise. A few days ago Mancini tweeted Jennifer Tilly , the actress who plays Tiffany, the love of Chucky’s life and his partner in crime, and posed a question “So @Jtillathekilla2 should we shoot Chucky 7 in Capetown?” Tilly responded with “Capetown is great. The crew is really professional and you can’t beat the weather!” It sounds as in Chucky 7 is preparing to enter production and that makes me excited. With Tilly involved, I would have to assume that the next film will be more like The Bride of Chucky than 2013’s Curse of Chucky, but you never know. Word is, Fiona Dourif, who went toe to toe with Chucky in The Curse of Chucky, will also be returning to fight the possessed Good Guy Doll again in Chucky 7. For those of you who

WARNING SPOILERS! Last night on The Walking Dead’s episode 10 “The Next World”, we met a new character, Jesus, played by Tom Payne. What was meant to be an important introduction was over shadowed by something we’ve been waiting for for a while now, Rick and Michonne hooking up, and boy did they. In the final moments of the episode Rick was relaxing on the couch after a hard run spent chasing Jesus. Michonne came into the living room and sat down beside him. Rick gave Michonne a roll of mints he picked up on the run. Their hands met and intertwined. They gazed into each other’s eyes and leaned in for a kiss that quickly turned into to full blown passion. The scene skips to the both of them asleep in Rick’s bed naked after what could have only been an intense night passion. They hear a noise that woke them both up and they suddenly jump to their

Victor Miller, the writer-creator of Friday the 13th, along with the film and series’ co-creator Kerry Fleming, is now shopping for a network for the companion television series to their upcoming Rock Paper Dead. Many details about the series are still being kept hush-hush, but we do know that Miller and Fleming have`a plan to bring in iconic horror film actors to appear in the series, in the form of cameos, guest spots or even recurring roles. “The concept for the crossover is similar to what Marvel has done with their superhero films. What we will be doing is a first in the horror genre. The show is designed to work hand in hand with the film. The same core characters, with expanding supporting roles. Besides writing the film screenplay, Victor and I, created a blueprint for the characters with story arcs that can be sustained for multiple movies and seasons of the series.” Kerry continued explaining to me, “We

WARNING SPOILERS! Last night on episode 10 of The Walking Dead we met Jesus, who gave Rick and Daryl a run for their money. Not only did Jesus put up a damn good fight, he slipped out of his restraints, stole Rick and Daryl’s ride, flew off a truck and broke into Rick’s bedroom, where he got an eye full. As you probably know by now Jesus, who’s full name is Paul Rovia on the show, Paul Monroe in the graphic novels. The name change may be confusing to those who’ve read the graphic novels, but in the long run it makes sense. The Walking Dead did not want him to be confused with the Monroe family from Alexandria (Deanna ect.). In the novels Jesus is from the Hilltop community, whose existence was unknown to the group, but we’ll learn all about that in the next episode. Things are tense over at Hilltop and Jesus is in search of outside

Rings, the direct sequel to the american The Ring franchise, was supposed to be released on April 1st, but we’re left wondering if that was just an April Fool’s day joke by Paramount.

Javier Gutierezz that will bring Samara back to life along with the cursed tape that summons her seven days after it’s viewed. Rings stars Aimee Teegarden (Scream 4), Laura Wiggins (Shameless), Matilda Lutz (Mi chiamo Maya), Alex Rose (The 5th Wave), Johnny Galecki (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Zach Roerig (The Vampire Diaries), and Bonnie Morgan (The Devil Inside).
