The fifteenth season of HISTORY® Channel’s long-running out of this world series “Ancient Aliens” lands on DVD this July. Featuring narrator Robert Clotworthy and producer Giorgio A.

Audience Walks Out During Cannes Screening Of Cronenberg’s ‘Crimes Of The Future’

David Cronenberg, known for his body horror, like in The Fly, has a new film coming out, Crimes of the Future which made its world premiere recently at Cannes.
