Rick James: Worst Death Ever

So I haven't updated in over a week. Blame that pesky writer's block.

Rick James died on Friday. I wish I had more hands, so I could give this death four thumbs down.

In "Blatant Movie Shilling" news, The Ring 2 and The Amityville Horror have new release dates. While I have no clue why The Amityville Horror was moved, Dreamworks pushed back Ring 2 due to lags in production. From what I hear, production has been moving slowly because they've been shooting around the schedule of Naomi Watts.

For those of you who haven't bought the Hellboy DVD yet and love extra features, wait a little while. Columbia Home Video announced that on October 19, they'll be releasing Guillermo Del Toro's 132-minute director's cut on a three-disc special edition.

Anyone who wants to hear the Resident Evil: Apocalypse soundtrack before it hits stores on August 31st can click here. If you haven't heard CKY or HIM and would like to, here's your chance!

Moviehole.net reports that Lions Gate is preparing to start Cabin Fever 2, aiming for a release sometime next year. No principal actors have been hired, but Robert Harris (who appeared in Cabin Fever as Old Man Caldwell) will return. No word yet on Eli Roth (Cabin Fever's writer/director) being involved.

I've been seeing these ads for Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid on TV lately, and whose idea was it to theatrically release this? Was Anaconda successful enough to warrant a sequel that was anything but direct to video? I guess they just didn't want to infringe on the Boa/Python "giant CGI snake" video market. Maybe Columbia can make some phone calls, and the epic Boa vs. Python vs. Anaconda can be made.

The talk about do-it-yourself DVD commentaries over at the New Hampshire Joyride makes me want to do one too. I don't know if I'm witty enough to do one by myself, but if I did do one, I'd totally geek it up like crazy, especially if it was a movie I was really into. I love DVD commentaries, so doing my own would be pretty rockin'. Or it might not be, I don't really know.

The Kentucky Horsemen beat the Sioux Falls Storm on Saturday (by a score of 59-38) to win the NIFL championship. It's about time a football team from Kentucky accomplished something.

That's all I've got. Sutton out.
