Hitting theaters this September will be director Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion," a thriller about what would happen if the Bird Flu actually became the epidemic that many have feared.

Classic Clips

So That's Why They Do It

So why do Zombies really eat brains? Its a question that has perplexed every upright walking human at

one point or another. I don't think our freaky, flesh rotting counterparts are really consuming our gelatinous thought processors just because they would like to fulfill their daily protein needs for the day. Well in 1985 the movie Return of the Living Dead finally gives us an answer to satisfy every zombie loving fanatics curiosity. At least now I can sleep at night... on second thought maybe not!

One Bad Grandma

I have seen weird things come and I have seen weird things go but in 2009 Legion raised the bar with this infamous scene. The film stars Dennis Quaid, Paul Bettany, and Tyrese Gibson.

Time To Get Up

Ah, it was 1984 and A Nightmare on Elm Street was about to cause millions of teenagers to have a major case of insomnia.

Just the thought of those long razor blade fingers and Kruger's burnt, mangled up face sent my imagination into overtime . In this infamous clip a young Johnny Depp seems to have trouble getting out of bed once he falls asleep listening to some of his favorite tunes.

Battle: Los Angeles
