The 2015 NFL season is creeping ever-closer, and while preseason won’t get the hearts of a nation beating at double-speed, it’s a welcome sign to see football talk on the rise and there’s plenty to discuss already.
All 32 teams took to the field over the weekend with a complete mixed bag to take away from their games. Still, fans would’ve been relieved to see their stars enter the field after the long wait since the Patriots’ Super Bowl 49 victory, but the weekend would have been treasured most by the all-new draft class.
Some of the brightest sparks shone in their roles as expected, while others stumbled, proving that coaches and young players need patience as they find their feet. But perhaps one of the best aspects of preseason is watching the less-talked about players finally grabbing the headlines across the weekend. Week 1 was no exception,...

The NFL season lasts just a few short months, but the rumour mill is a constantly whirling frenzy of potential deals, crazy trades, and shock departures, the vast majority of which, will never actually take place.
But in some cases, a lot of the biggest stars in the league have had brushes with other teams whether that be in the draft or a mega trade deal.
Hindsight is a marvellous thing, and looking back at some of the decisions teams have made uncovers some spectacularly bad decisions from the general managers and coaches of the league.
At the time, every team obviously thought they were doing what was best for the franchise, but they have been proven sorely wrong, with future Hall Of Famers, Super Bowl champions and MVPs slipping through their grasp when they were in pole position to land them.

Los Angeles — A playful, elegantly made little horror film, "Mama" teasingly sustains a game of hide-and-seek as it tantalizes the audience with fleeting apparitions of the title character while maintaining interest in two deeply disturbed little orphan girls. Being sold primarily on the name of its godfather, Guillermo del Toro, this Canadian-Spanish co-production from Universal is refreshingly mindful of the less-is-more horror guidelines employed by 1940s master Val Lewton, not to mention Japanese ghost stories, but the PG-13 rating might prove too restrictive for the gory tastes of male core genre fans. Still, less bloodthirsty female teens could make up the difference at the box office, as the film provokes enough tension and gasps to keep susceptible viewers grabbing their armrests or the arms of those next to them.
In essence, "Mama" represents a throwback and a modest delight for people who like a good scare but prefer not to be terrorized or grossed out.

Here’s some unexpected news, readers. Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell and Deborah Kara Unger will all be returning for ghoulish goings-on in Silent Hill: Revelation. That’s right, they’re back for the sequel! It’s in production right now and along with the press release there’s a new image to gawp at.
Funny because I was just thinking the other day ‘what’s Radha Mitchell up to these days?’ Now I know. Michael J. Bassett will write and direct and Christophe Gans will not be returning to shout “le action!” Yeah, he’s French.

Three of the key stars of the original 2006 "Silent Hill" film adaptation - Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell and Deborah Kara Unger, are all set to reprise their roles in the upcoming sequel "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D".
In a press release from Davis Films today, the trio was confirmed to be starring alongside newcomers Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington in the film which follows Heather Mason, a young girl on the eve of her 18th birthday who is plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father.
When she discovers she's not who she thinks she is, the revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.
The Michael Bassett-directed production will utilise 3D Red Epic cameras which are described as "lighter, smaller and more flexible" than others of its type. Also joining the crew is cinematographer Maxime Alexandre ("The Crazies,...

Last week we learned that the sequel to Silent Hill had begun filming and that Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington were set to star in the film. What we hadn’t heard was wether or not this film would be connected to the original in any way. Now we know. A press release went out to day confirming the stars of the first film will reprise their roles in Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. That’s right, Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean and Deborah Kara Unger will all be coming back for the sequel. This may come as a surprise to some of you, as it does to me. The ending to the first film was a bit ambiguous, but now it’s obvious Mitchell survived her ordeal in the haunted town, which will now wreak havoc on Clemens and Harington.

Chicago – This 18-image slideshow features the official press images for Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Splice” starring Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, and Delphine Chaneac. It was directed by Vincenzo Natali and will open on June 4th, 2010.
Official Synopsis:
“Superstar genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialize in splicing DNA from different animals to create incredible new hybrids. Now they want to use human DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionize science and medicine. But when the pharmaceutical company that funds their research forbids it, Clive and Elsa secretly take their boldest experimentation underground—risking their careers by pushing the boundaries of science to serve their own curiosity and ambition.
The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature of uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected physical developments.
At first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams. But as she grows and learns at an accelerated rate, her existence threatens to become their worst nightmare.
