Universal Dead
FEO FLICK PICK
Every week - more or less - I pick a video that grabs my attention, interest, what-have-you.

What grabs me about this week's flick pick is that I helped make it.

This is episode 3 of UNIVERSAL DEAD, which completes the first arc of the story.

Will there be a full webseries? Hard to tell as it might actually become a feature film.

In any case, check out this week's Feo Flick Pick.

If you haven't seen the first two episodes, don't spoil it for yourself by watching the third one first! go to /UniversalDead and watch them in order.

Anthony Jones - AHN Entertainment Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) - With "Predators" hitting this Friday, the upcoming slate of horror films set to premiere in theaters within the next two looks scarily familiar.

Another Hole in the Head: Festival of extreme
Yes, it opens tonight with "Mutant Girls Squad," a raunchy Japanese horror flick. And yes, it closes with "Future X-Cops," a Hong Kong science fiction actioner about time-traveling assassins.

Horror twins give Leo nightmares
Leonardo DiCaprio has told how he is haunted by a sinister scene from horror classic The Shining - and it gives him nightmares.

The actor has tackled giant icebergs and terrorists on screen - but the thought of the identical twins from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film leaves him a gibbering wreck.

No time for '[REC]' filmmakers to pause

The Moviegoer | Oh, the Horror!
“Rec” imagined a TV news reporter following a nighttime police patrol on a tour of the city. Even she doesn’t expect much to happen. But when the whole team responds to a crazy call from an apartment building where a cannibalism-inducing virus seems to have broken out, the setup is complete: we see everything from the cameraman’s point of view, and the fact that a TV crew is on assignment makes it all seem plausible.

YOU DUG IT
There's no mistake. TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE, a $68 million dollar movie, had an early Wednesday release and by Sunday - in it's first partial week - shot straight into profit with a cumulative $161 million box office. With a little more than half for the studio in its first week, TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE busted way past its budget, clearing both the movie budget hurdle and the approximately $48 million in distribution costs. Next week will determine if this is a fluke or if you are truly digging it, but in this first week return, the fans have spoken.

YOU BURIED IT
Last week Jonah Hex was at #10 in its second week. In its third week, JONAH HEX fell so far its actually off the charts! It's rare for a movie to fall so far so fast, but JONAH HEX dropped from 2,825 screens just last week, to a staggering 350 screens this week. Even Uwe Bolls and The Punisher movies don't do that bad. That's "starring Eddie Murphy" bad!

UPDATE: According to BoxOfficeMojo, JONAH HEX fell from #10 last week to #31 this week. That's the greatest drop I've ever seen from any movie.

Next week TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE will face off against PREDATORS.

On the subject of /PREDATORS.

Adrien Brody prepared for 'Predators' by sleeping in the jungles of Hawaii and gaining 25 pounds
Not even a jumping-spider attack can shake Adrien Brody's cool.
"Oh, he's nasty," ­Brody remarks calmly from his Los Angeles hotel, where an aggressive arachnid suddenly interrupts the interview. But the unflappable Academy Award winner simply traps it under a glass ("There's no need to kill him," he says) before getting back to business.
