Dear Mr. Zombie, WTH?

Rob Zombie Woolite Commercial

I understand that sometimes (okay, many times), actors and even directors have to do projects that aren't the most glamorous in order to pay the bills. However, this one really takes the cake. Horror-rocker and movie director Rob Zombie has directed a commercial for Woolite.

That's right. The man who brought you the twisted backwoods tale of 'House of 1000 Corpses' and the excellent 'The Devil's Rejects,' brings you a story of torture and...clothing; complete with a really bad character design and cheesy fonts.

But as Billy-Bob Thornton said in 'Bad Santa": "They can't all be winners, kid."

Let's hope that his upcoming movie 'Lords of Salem' gives Rob a chance to redeem himself of this atrocious commitment to film.

Transformers 3 in Theaters, Now With Exploding Explosions

Transformers 3

So apparently Michael Bay recently admitted that Transformers 2 was a steaming pile of worthlessness and promised that third installment, Transformers: Dark of the Moon would put him back in good standing with fans. Well, Mikey, it's no looking so good for you.

Critics are slamming the movie, which is no surprise, but I don't expect a 50 year-old critic to enjoy a movie based on a line of toys he didn't grow up with. So the real quality of the movie lies in the hands of the fans and the fans are saying that the effects are amazing, but that the movie lacks heart.

Wait a second...do robots have hearts? Oh, wait, you're talking about Optimus Prime's Matrix of Leadership, right? Well, I guess that's LIKE a heart. I mean, he did die in the animated movie when it was removed from his...sorry, I was having a nerd moment. I'm back.

Anyways, I supposed it is what it is. It's a movie about robots who transform into vehicles (and sometimes dinosaurs!) and it's guaranteed to have lots of explosions. So, as long as you go with that expectation, you should come away happy- which is the same way I watched the first two. Plus, they had this.

First Look at 'The Hobbit'

Most geeks agree that of all fantasy and sci-fi movie adaptations, the Lord of the Rings trilogy stands among the best. Lord of the Rings was finished in 2003 and while Jackson has worked on several films, including 'District 9,' none have come close to the acclaim he received for his work with the One Ring. Until now.

Enter, 'The Hobbit.' This week, a few stills were released to Entertainment Weekly in which we see younger Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and Gandalf (Ian McKellen), almost 80 years before the events in LOTR.

This is going to be awesome.

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' the first of two films is set to be released December, 2012.

Cats Take Revenge, Tail Stomping Continues

Makoto Shinkai shows us what could happen if cats unite under one front and retaliate for years of being stepped on (even though it's their fault).
