Forget just Constantine: In recent interviews, everyone’s favorite stone-faced action hero has made clear his decision to never, ever star in a sequel ever again.
From your mouth to God’s ears, Keanu.

Now, Thai horror isn’t exactly something I hear a lot out of. Oh, sure, Japanese horror has been huge for years, and the Koreans can generally toss one together. The Chinese now officially despise it, and I’ve even caught a Malaysian film or two. Which is why I was so interested to hear about The Coffin, a Thai film about a strange ritual used to ward off bad luck.
In a move to cheat death, apparently the Thai have been known to lay in coffins for a little while. In The Coffin, a man and a woman try this ritual out, only to face a serious of inexplicable—and horrifying—incidents afterward. Oh, sure, some make the case that it’s about the beauty of life and death and suchlike but it sounds like it might manage to pack in some halfway decent scares, which has me interested. Of course, people may be slapping up the metaphysical metaphorical labels due to who’s got the director’s slot—the former director of Beautiful Boxer. Interestingly, there’s another film of the same name due to be released Halloween in the United States, which makes me wonder if there’ll be a lot of confusion between the two. But until then, there’s plenty of the regular variety to be had on Kwanzoo’s horror movie trivia.

Every single legendary and big-budget horror movie of the past fifty years has either been remade, or is going to be. If it had the slightest potential for monkeymaking brand recognition, the execs were on it like white on rice. But with Halloween, Friday the 13th, House of Wax, and Nightmare on Elm Street crossed off their lists, where will the studios turn next?
Why, B-movies, of course. This year will see a new version of 1980′s Prom Night, one of the films that helped crown Jamie Lee Curtis as Scream Queen. But the people want more – so they’ll get it.

After hearing about this list of idiocy thanks to my good friends out at Destructoid (I’m really beginning to love Destructoid), I figured it would be entertaining for us all to mock GamesRadar mercilessly via their list of the thirteen worst gaming innovations of all time.
So let’s go check out what GamesRadar hates, and then wail on it like Trekkies at Lucasarts Ranch.

It’s not often I find myself having reason to question the British Media, but after Daily Mail’s mind-boggling decision to put Anne Diamond in charge of reviewing video games, I have little choice. It may be a bit sexist or ageist or whatever-ist to say so, but maybe a fiftyish mother of four is NOT the best choice to be a video game reviewer. Let’s go ahead and use her own words to show just why she probably wasn’t a smart move.
First, let’s try her “review” of Scarface: The World is Yours. She says:
