Ms. Jackson, or just Janet if you're a true fan, has a reputation for slow, throbbing R&B thanks to "That's the Way Love Goes" and "Got 'til it's Gone," but she's only made waves in the 21st century with unadulterated pop: "Doesn't Really Matter" was a dreamy bubblegum anthem; "All for You" was a "Trl"-ready confection; "Someone to Call My Lover" was blippy and brilliant; "Feedback," her critically hailed lead single from 2008's "Discipline," was a sweaty, naughty bop. Now, seven years after "Discipline" failed to relaunch Jackson as a Billboard juggernaut, she rejoins with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (who last worked with her on 2006's "20 Y.O.") to hit us with an old-time slow jam called "No Sleeep." Listen after the jump. It's solid. It's cool and glowing. But it's also very familiar, like so many slow-churn non-singles from "janet.", "The Velvet Rope," and "Discipline.

Dear fellow "Walking Dead" fans, I have a surprising confession: I do not like blood and guts, or horror in general. As a child, I was afraid of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" I once sat by myself in a corner, listening to my Walkman, rather than watch "The Blair Witch Project" during a middle school sleepover. And yet, for whatever reason, I find myself coming back to "The Walking Dead" year after year, despite the graphic gore that greets me each and every week. I'll admit that I still cover my eyes and look away from the screen multiple times per episode (yes, I am a huge wuss), but, for the most part, I can tolerate the terror.
But this week I may have reached my limit, guys. That searing image of Bob's foot roasting on the fire actually made me shriek in disgust. I've stood by "The Walking Dead...

Fox's sci-fi robot cop drama Almost Human had a solid start Sunday night, but viewers didn't get to see everything the show had to offer. The Hollywood Reporter exclusively debuts the 45-second theme song for Almost Human, composed by J.J. Abrams (an executive producer on the show created by Fringe's J.H. Wyman), which will make its television debut on Monday evening's episode, "Skin." The theme complements the premise rather well, featuring a hypnotic, robotic techno beat. Abrams previously composed the themes for Fringe and Alcatraz. (Listen to the Almost Human theme here.) First Listen:

Terrence Howard has been around for a while, and done a lot of different things, but has be ever really played a bad guy? Listen, it's Friday afternoon, it's Easter and we may be forgetting something, but we can't remember when last the Academy Award nominated actor made life hard for a couple of protagonists. But either way, his next role will see him doing just that.
Howard has joined Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace and recently cast Dominic Cooper in "Dead Man Down," a thriller that is gearing up to go in front of cameras soon. Penned by J.H. Wyman ("The Mexican," "Fringe"), the thriller follows Victor (Farrell), who sabotages the business and picks off the men belonging to underground crime lord Alphonse Hoyt (Howard) in New York City as vengeance for the death of a family member. Along the way, Victor is seduced and blackmailed by Beatrice (Rapace), a crime victim seeking retribution.

After an almost ten year absence from directing feature films, John Carpenter is back with The Ward. The film is a mental hospital set horror starring Amber Heard, Lyndsy Fonseca, Jared Harris, Danielle Panabaker and Mika Boorem and it’s really rather good.
I was lucky enough to speak to John Carpenter earlier this year (bear this in mind for the section in which he talks about present/future projects) and you can read the fruits of this interview below. We covered a variety of topics including The Ward, Horror films, monster movies and much more. He also shared with me some very brief but details on the film project he’s currently working on.
Why did you decide to return from a break in directing features with The Ward and what were your reasons for taking the break?
I stopped in 2001 and I was seriously considering not making movies again.

We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
With this weekend’s impending release of Shark Night 3D, we at The Scorecard Review thought it appropriate to take a look back at Hollywood’s best in the killer beast department. As a note to the reader: We’ve taken King Kong, velociraptors, and all the other fantastical creatures of H-wood, out of the running — this list is to feature killer animals that populate films of a certain degree of realism. Yes, this stuff could actually happen! Really!
I swear!
7. Anaconda (1997)
Recap: A “National Geographic” film crew is taken hostage by an insane hunter (Jon Voight), who takes them along on his quest to capture the world’s largest – and deadliest – snake.
Reason: This movie is truly awful. But it’s also hilarious, and fun to watch. The cast is as ridiculous as the fakey-as-all-get-out snake. Jennifer Lopez shows off her...
