Frank Ocean’s polarizing Coachella set and subsequent cancellation just days before the festival’s second weekend have garnered a flurry of negative reactions from festival attendees and fans. With still little known about what transpired, several sources involved with the performance now tell Rolling Stone that aside from Ocean’s ankle injury cited by his team, the performance faced production issues and delays that led to a last-minute “scramble.”

The day after his set, a rep for Ocean told Rolling Stone that he sustained two fractures in his left...

Tupac Lives ... on Chris Johnson's new cleats.  The Az Cardinals running back got some custom "Juice" cleats -- inspired by the 1992 flick ... featuring images of Pac, Omar Epps and the other two guys on the movie poster.  We spoke with the genius behind the shoes -- Desmond "Skilz" Jones -- who says CJ2k plans to rock the cleats before and during Sunday's game against the 49ers.  Skilz says Johnson hit him up and...

Rachel Lindsay selected her final four suitors on Monday, when American television viewers chose “The Bachelorette” as their No. 1 show of the night. Despite the reality dating show’s head-to-head victory over “American Ninja Warrior,” NBC topped ABC outright in primetime averages. How, you ask? Simple: NBC’s “Spartan” fared fine at 10 p.m., when the Disney-owned broadcaster dumped a “Gong Show” rerun. Plus, the battle in the 8 and 9 o’clock hours was tight: Both alternative series averaged a 1.4 rating, while “The Bachelorette’s” 5.63 million total viewers edged “Anw’s” 5.57 million.

Barack Obama's getting in bed with Wall Street ... he's reportedly getting $400,000 to address a group of people he once referred to as "fat cats." Obama's signed on to be the keynote speaker at a Wall Street health care conference run by Cantor Fitzgerald, and the news has the former president's critics chomping at the bit. He's made no secret of his disdain for some Wall Street bankers. Fox Business says Obama's signed on the dotted line,...

Lindsay Lohan isn’t the only person who confronted rumors being spread about her (though she is one of the few to write a song about it.)

Seventeen people took to Reddit to share the craziest rumors they’ve ever heard about themselves.

1. “When I was in high school, I made out with a girl who knew one of my best friends. I found out a few days later, from my friend, that the girl was telling people we had slept together, and that I was apparently really good.”

2. “I started working in a kitchen, and every time I would walk in,...

Patrick Dempsey and his wife, Jill, are back together, and their first order of business -- dumping the pad Jill bought when they were on the verge of divorce.  Jill swooped the 2 story Pacific Palisades home last summer for $6.1 million -- when she and Patrick were in the throes of the breakup -- and now she's unloaded it for $7.575 mil. The deal closed on Tuesday. Pretty sweet temporary housing for Jill -- 5 beds, 5 baths with 6,135 square feet of space,...

Kelly Meza-Dodd from 'Real Housewives of Orange County' is getting rid of some prime Oc real estate ... and doing some high-priced flipping in the process. Kelly's listed her 4 bedroom, 4 bath oceanside home in Newport Beach for $6.25 million. The pad is a stone's throw from Big Corona Beach and in pristine condition, hence the steep price. Kelly and her husband bought it just a year ago for $3.575 mil, but they've sunk some dough into it ... doing a bunch of renovations.

Thor: Ragnarok begins filming Pictured: Concept art from Thor: Ragnarok It's a busy time for comic book movie fans, with a couple big movies still on deck this year (Suicide Squad, Dr. Strange), some that just wrapped production (Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 and Wonder Woman), and many more either already in production (Justice League, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Wolverine 3) or getting ready to begin soon.  On the Marvel front, they've already started rolling on Spider-Man: Homecoming, and now Thor: Ragnarok has kicked off filming in Australia, with director Taika Waititi tweeting the first image from set.   @MrPeytonReed @louisde2 Pretty sweet 1st day.

While America was celebrating the 4th of July, director Taika Waititi and his crew started shooting the highly anticipated Marvel film Thor: Ragnarok! The movie is currently shooting in Queensland, Australia, and the announcement came from Marvel’s Louis D’Esposito over the weekend. That was followed by a congratulatory tweet from Ant-Man director Peyton Reed reminding the director to have lots of explosions, which led to the director sharing a photo from the set which you can see below. I've also included some additional photos from the set featuring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and some Asgardian-looking building that you can take a look at as well.

There's been a lot of talk and speculation about what we are going to see in Thor: Ragnorok, and it seems like one thing is for certain: there's a good chance this sequel will be better than the first two films. We've...

While those of us here in the States are busy celebrating Independence Day, on the other side of the world in Australia, cameras have started rolling on the third Thor film, Ragnarok.

Near the end of May, Marvel officially revealed the stunning cast of next year's Thor: Ragnarok (including Cate Blanchett as the villain, Jeff Goldblum, and Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk), which meant filming wasn't too far behind. Today marks the first day of principal photography, which is expected to last through October. While the film won't hit until November of next year, it's still exciting to see this one getting underway.

While I know some fans weren't happy with The Dark World, it's actually one of my favorite Phase 2 films. I actually...

2017 promises to be epic for Marvel, as the studio launches it's 'three movies a year' initiative. The first Phase 3 adventure to arrive next summer is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which wrapped last month. A few weeks have past, but Marvel isn't taking much of a siesta. While 4th of July is a nationally recognized holiday in the states, it's business as usual in Australia, where the third chapter in the Thor trilogy has kicked off production today. Director Taika Waititi confirmed that shooting has begun on his Twitter, sharing the first official photo from set.

The image in question is only exciting in that it proves Thor: Ragnarok is happening. We get to see that a number of the sequel's key production team has arrived on location, including VFX supervisor Jake Morrison, Executive producers Tom Hammel and Brad Winderbaum, writer Eric Pearson, production designer Dan Hennah and VFX producer Cyndi Ochs.

James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" has wrapped production, Jon Watts' "Spider-Man: Homecoming" has been in production for several weeks, now the third of Marvel Studios' 2017 release features has begun shooting.

Filmmaker Taika Waititi officially began filming today on "Thor: Ragnarok," the third film in the Chris Hemsworth-led comic book spin-off with the Aussie hunk reprising his role as the God of Thunder. Actually "Ant-Man' director Peyton Reed was the one to announce the news, with Waititi responding with the photo below of cast member chairs on the film's set in Queensland, Australia.

Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, Jeff Goldblum, and Karl Urban also star in the film which will shoot on location in Australia through late October.

The Movie

Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator is one of the greatest ‘80s horror movies of all time. No other horror flick up until that point successfully combined gore, horror, and humor quite like that movie did. There were horror movies that were intentionally funny (like Motel Hell for example), but what made Re-Animator special and original is that it took the fear of death and poked fun at it. Blood and guts are now funny thanks to director Stuart Gordon. The idea that something disturbing like a severed limb or a dead body could actually be funny still fascinates me. I have Re-Animator to thank for that.

Bride of Re-Animator has a cult fan base; if it didn’t, Arrow Video would not have wasted their time releasing it on Blu-ray. Unfortunately, the movie isn’t as good as the first. This is typical among most horror sequels. The thing that bugs me the most about Bride is the number of plot holes the filmmakers didn’t even try filling. What the sequel gets right is the gory goods that definitely deliver. What the sequel gets wrong is the story details.

Eight months after the events that took place in the previous movie, Herbert West (played by Jeffrey Combs) and Dan Cain (played by Bruce Abbott who now has a mid-90s Bruce Campbell styled haircut) are now doctors at the Miskatonic University Hospital where they are secretly still doing reanimation experiments. How both men are now employed as doctors at the same hospital in the previous movie makes no sense to me after everything that happened, not to mention Herbert West’s death scene. Both men (especially Herbert) are now more focused on reanimating body parts stolen from the Hospital’s morgue and combining these parts to create living freaks.

Dr. Hill (whose head is clearly seen crushed to the size of a grapefruit in the previous movie) is now back and reanimated to get his revenge on Herbert and Dan while they are in the process of completing a huge experiment. Using the body parts from the morgue and Dan’s dead girlfriend’s heart, Herbert and Dan create a whole living female. Other complications take place that jeopardize the experiment such as a detective who becomes suspicious of the missing body parts and Dan’s 2 love interests.

Not every movie needs a sequel. Re-Animator is perfect the way it is. If you feel you absolutely must see these characters again for one more movie, then here it is. Not everything about the movie is disappointing however. The special make-up effects from Knb Efx Group and Screaming Mad George (just to name a few) make up for the plot holes and are definitely worth checking out. I really feel that Bride of Re-animator is a success as a gory FX freak show, but a failure as a story. Sorry horror fans.

Audio/Video

Arrow Video brings Bride of Re-Animator to Blu-ray for the very first time in America, and the results are satisfying. For this 3 Disc Limited Edition release, both R-rated and Unrated cuts of the film are offered in 1080p with a 1:78:1 Aspect Ratio. The transfers for both cuts look identical except the brief scenes added in the Unrated cut take a bit of a noticeable dip in quality. Added shots in the Unrated cut appear darker than the rest of the movie and show much less detail. The rest of the image however looks great and feels like a lot of time and care went into this restoration. A fine looking image that I feel fans will be pleased with. The Lpcm 2.0 Audio Track offers some real kick, especially during the final showdown. Dialogue is clear and the gooey sound effects are top notch.

Chris Hemsworth's move back to Oz meant ditching 2 gorgeous homes in L.A. -- which in turn meant lining his pockets with an extra $2.6 million!  First the Malibu home ...

San Diego - There is no debate who won Comic-Con on Saturday. It wasn't the man in the bat suit vs. the Man of Steel. It wasn't those marvelous mutants who continue to reboot themselves in new and interesting ways. No, a Merc with a Mouth took the convention by storm and his name is "Deadpool." Assuming you never saw "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" or haven't followed the twists and turns of how long its taken star Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller to get this solo movie off the ground, "Deadpool" will be something of a shock. The popular Marvel Comics character has always been aligned with the mutant universe, but he also has an offbeat sense of humor that often finds him breaking the fourth wall. It’s not necessarily the most commercially safe material and would make any studio have second thoughts. To those around him Deadpool is...

Neill Blomkamp has revealed that he has been working on a new Alien film with his Chappie star Sigourney Weaver, who, of course, shot to fame as Ripley in the beloved sci-fi franchise.

I know that.s almost certainly not going to happen, but a boy can dream!

If you haven't heard, there's a major hack that has cripple the Sony corporation over the past week. A group calling itself "Guardians of Peace" (Gop) took down the company's computers, specifically in the film division. They're reportedly writing on chalkboards to keep business moving along over there, and there's even speculation that the studio is concerned that North Koreans, embittered over the Seth Rogen/James Franco film "The Interview," are to blame. Whatever the case, and whether it's connected to the hack or not, the studio's woes continued over the holiday when a number of watermarked Sony screeners leaked online. It's worth noting that it's the same package of films that have gone out to critics groups and guilds recently that showed up on torrent sites: "Annie," "Fury," "Mr. Turner" and "Still Alice." So it's entirely possible that this was just an unfortunate occurrence tied to the screener season...

Taylor Swift speaks out on feminism, but is she a feminist?

Taylor Swift is excited by Emma Watson's fight for feminism and has some words of her own on the issue.

Those who purchase a digital copy of Destiny on either of its supported last-gen consoles will be given a free gift, Bungie has announced. The present, itself, just so happens to be a free (downloadable) upgrade to one of the game’s current-gen versions. Pretty sweet, huh?

The idea here is to make it easier for, and provide incentive towards, those who plan to upgrade to a PS4 or Xbox One in the near future. It’s a nice treat for people in that boat, as it makes it so that they won’t need to fork over extra money for a new copy of Destiny once they purchase their new device.

It’s important to note the fine print though, which states that this offer is only available to those who buy the digital Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions of the game. Furthermore, it’ll only work for gamers who...

Over the last few weeks, there have been a slew of announcements regarding Disney Infinity 2.0, including its release date of September 23rd. If you've missed a few of them, here is a handy dandy list to get you up to speed.

First we have the Guardians of the Galaxy playset, which contains Star Lord and Gamora. The playset itself features the action taking place on Knowhere, the improbable floating head space base (at least it was for a while in the books). For comic fans, hopefully this means we will get some cameos from Cosmo, because no Guardians game is complete without the awesomeness that is the telepathic Russian space dog. All 5 members of the core group will be available separately, and will feature Drax, Groot, and of course, Rocket Raccoon in addition to Star Lord and Gamora. Peep the trailer below to catch how Knowhere looks Disneyfied.

Here's the trailer for a cool looking skateboarding film called Pretty Sweet, which was directed by Ty Evans, Cory Weincheque and Spike Jonze. Jonze is involved with a very wide variety of projects, and has always broken ground with the inventive skits and filming techniques he has brought to the Girl/Chocolate and Lakai skate videos. The director also picks up his skateboard for the film and shows off his skating skills. The film features the infamously tight-knit Girl and Chocolate crew, including Guy Mariano, Eric Koston, Sean Malto, Marc Johnson, Jesus Fernandez, Vincent Alvarez, Elijah Berle, Justin Eldridge, Brian Anderson and a ton of other skaters.

I love the sport of skateboarding, and I've always enjoyed watching skate videos and documentaries. There's some really cool shots in the trailer -- even when Marc Johnson Doesn't land a trick it still looks buttery. It's definitely worth checking out for anyone looking to see some awesomeness!

  Where the Wild Things Are director Spike Jonze started his career making skateboarding videos and is co-owner of skateboard company Girl Skateboards with pro-skate dudes Rick Howard and Mike Carroll. It's been a while since Jonze set his camera on the wheels of notable people in the sport, but a new video has surfaced via Slash Film that features Eric Koston, Guy Mariano, Sean Malto, Marc Johnson, Elijah Berle, Jesus Fernandez, Brian Anderson and others. Pretty Sweet is available on iTunes and was created with Fully Flared team Ty Evans and Cory Weincheque.   Experimental electronic act Flying Lotus (aka Captain Murphy aka Steven Ellison) features Frodo in the video for his song "Tiny Tortures" from the album Until the Quiet Comes, which dropped...

While Spike Jonze has risen from a music video director to an acclaimed filmmaker, he's never forgotten his roots. He still finds time to produce the "Jackass" movies with his longtime friends, and dips his toes back into the music video world as well from time to time. His love of skateboarding hasn't wavered either: a longtime fan of BMX bikes and boards, Jonze is co-owner of the company Girl Skateboards. While we patiently wait for his next film "Her," starring Joaquin Phoenix, the director grabbed a camera and got back out on the street just like the old days. Teaming up with Ty Evans and Cory Weincheque, Jonze is a co-director on "Pretty Sweet," a video shot around the world -- Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, China, and Barcelona are a few of the locations -- that is more or less a promo for Girl and Chocolate skateboard brands. But it also looks pretty great,...
