10 May 2012 9:27 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

What better way to spend your Fourth of July weekend than by watching one of the best supernatural thrillers of the Eighties and finally getting the chance to witness ghost rape in hi-def? You’ll get to do both this July when The Entity comes to Blu-ray.

The Films Of Sidney Lumet: A Retrospective

9 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It's been more than a year since Fox debuted "The Chicago Code," which was the most recent show in an unfortunate but amusing tradition of shows promoted relentlessly with the same shouted line in every promo. Before Jennifer Beals was asked, incredulously, "You think you can change how things get done In Chicago?!?!," Ron Silver tried to warn his daughter in "Skin" that "His father is The District Attorney!," while the first "House" promos had House complaining to Cuddy, "You're risking A Patient's Life!" Many of these shows have been good, but it's just too easy to remember the one loud »
