by FlickCast on May.31, 2009, under Flick Cast
Here it is, the first picture of the top secret baddie from the upcoming Michael Bay sleek, action packed explosion-fest Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Courtesy of the folks over at MTV, this is the first time the new evil robot has been reveled to the public. This robot, called The Fallen, is the overlord that runs the Decepticons and is, as the film’s star Shia LeBeouf puts it:
‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season Two Pics
by FlickCast on May.30, 2009, under Flick Cast
One of the nice things about working for a website covering different types of entertainment is that you often get a chance to highlight a show that people may not know much about. Case in point is the superb FX original series Sons of Anarchy — which I’ve mentioned on The Flickcast before. The show, created and executive produced by The Shield alumni Kurt Sutter, follows an outlaw biker gang that’s more family than criminal and how they deal with outsiders, internal conflics, changing times and constant scrutiny by the law.
New Trailer for ‘Torchwood: Children of Earth’
by FlickCast on May.29, 2009, under Flick Cast
Truth be told I’ve never been a huge fan of the BBC sci-fi series phenomenon Dr. Who. I always found it a bit too campy and a bit too much on the cheesy side for my taste. So, when a spin-off series called Torchwood was announced, I was pretty sure I wouldn’t care for that one either. Still, I gave it a try.

Will you be at the E3 Expo, the world's largest video ga- er, "entertainment software" exhibition, in Los Angeles next week? Us too. Not only will Woot debut our brand-new booth, complete with the biggest flying monkeys in captivity, but Scott Lydon and I will be on hand Tuesday and Wednesday at 2 p.m. to emcee a varied program of total idiocy. Stop by booth 2647 and look for the two guys with the unmistakably slovenly appearance of Internet copywriters.
Freddy Prinze, Jr. Joins Fox’s ‘24?
by FlickCast on May.28, 2009, under Flick Cast
There’s a few things I can’t seem to get enough of: good beer, fast cars, cool movies, fun comics, first person shooter video games and tv shows where the main character shoots guys in the leg, electrocutes suspects and threatens to stab bad guys in the eye with a pen in order to get them to talk. Of course, I’m talking about the super cool show 24 featuring a great character named Jack Bauer.
Fox Rebooting ‘Alien’ Franchise?
by FlickCast on May.28, 2009, under Flick Cast
With all the reboots, rumors of reboots, sequels and prequels coming out of Hollywood lately it should come as no surprise that there’s now talk and rumors of yet another one. According to Bloody Disgusting, the latest franchise getting the reboot treatment is the 1979 horror/sci-fi classic Alien. Yes, the movie that coined the cool catchphrase “In space no one can hear you scream” and showcased a young Sigourney Weaver in her underwear is reportedly going to get the reboot treatment.
First Trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘The Strain’
by FlickCast on May.27, 2009, under Flick Cast
Director Guillermo del Toro has had a unique and varied career so far. His range of films from Mimic, Blade II and Pan’s Labyrinth to Hellboy I and II, have managed to keep us interested, entertained and sometimes even a little scared. Currently, del Toro is working on a live-action version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic The Hobbit. But apparently, that’s not enough to keep him busy.

Woot Contest 224: Camp Wund-Ay-Wund-Eel
by woot on May.27, 2009, under Woot
Summer has unofficially begun, which means it’s time again for lots of unofficial fun in the unofficial sun. And to parents of a certain socioeconomic bracket, that means packing the tots off to camp. What parent wouldn’t sign over custody of their offspring for a couple of weeks of blissful serenity at home? What preteen wouldn’t jump at the chance to enjoy swimming, insect bites, leathercrafts, and ritual humiliation away from Mom and Dad’s prying eyes? The fact that the products we sell aren’t human doesn’t mean they feel any differently. Your challenge this week:
