TRAILER: 'Carrie'

Sony has released the very revealing full trailer to the new big screen version of Stephen King's classic horror novel Carrie starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore. Directed by Kimberly Peirce, the film promises to adhere close to the source material, but as you can see maintains much of the imagery first put on the big screen in 1976 that showcased the horrific telekinetic powers the tormented teen possessed.

The original film starred Sissy Spacek as Carrie White and was directed by Brian De Palma (who gave his blessing on the remake, and passed the torch to the Boys Don't Cry helmer Peirce).

After watching this, to me there isn't much surprise left in the film. It seemingly takes us from the beginning to the iconic blood soaked firery climax at Carrie's prom. Even if you haven't seen the original, this trailer really feels the need to take you step by step through the whole movie. Good idea?

Carrie is set for release October 18th, and not the date seen on this one sheet released before the date was pushed back.

Film Review - EVIL DEAD ★★★½☆☆

Like many fans my age, my early years of enjoying the horror genre were partly shaped by director Sam Rami's micro-budgeted 1981 cult horror classic The Evil Dead (as well as the two subsequent entries in the series). The good news is we can breathe a huge tense sigh of relief regarding this update of the iconic film. Rest assured, this version will not intrude on fond memories regarding the original, but will firmly take the experience to a whole new level with its blacken heart tone and no expense spared attitude on guts and gore.

Many of us cried 'blasphemy' at the prospect of revisiting the series without Raimi at the helm, who is now decades past his low budget roots and off making some of the biggest films in Hollywood. But he and Dead's irreplaceable original star, genre icon Bruce Campbell didn't give up their keys to the castle and are both on board as producers.

Thankfully not a shot for shot remake, director Fede Alvarez does retrace over many familiar plot points and appropriately adjusts, improves and upgrades in other areas (visual effects have improved slightly since 1981). Evil demons once again take brutal vengeance on five unsuspecting weekend visitors to a remote cabin on the woods.

'Game of Thrones: The Exhibition' Invades New York City

As Game of Thrones roared back onto the airwaves on Sunday night kicking off its third season, HBO has an exciting interactive tour for fans hitting five cities across the world. Game of Thrones: The Exhibition is currently camped in New York City, offering interactive activities and showcasing over 70 authentic props, costumes, and offers an amazing opportunity to sit in the Iron Throne of Westeros for a free professional photo op and take home souvenir. 

I stopped by the exhibit located in midtown Manhattan, which was packed with fans and tourists alike, snapped off some pictures through the crowd, and worked my way to the Iron Throne the relative easy way. Thankfully it takes a lot less political backstabbing and bloodshed at the exhibit to be seated as the ruler of Westeros.

You can check the official website HERE to see if the tour will be stopping in your part of the realm.

OK fellow Whovians, this just got real. This awesome behind-the-scenes, image, which was just tweeted by the BBC, will hopefully be the first of many exciting pics from the set of Doctor Who in the coming weeks.

Hopefully April Fool's Day pranks are not popular in the UK, otherwise it would be REALLY wrong to doctor and post a photo in this manner today.

So here we have it, our first look at Doctors Ten and Eleven sharing time, space and watermarked scripts following the table read of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special.

Production on the episode beings this week, so fingers crossed for additional imminent pictures, updates and announcements from the set.
