Caption This: Win Uwe Boll’s Far Cry on DVD!

Neil Miller — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:04:39 +0000

Would you like to pay for another Uwe Boll video game adaptation on DVD? We didn’t think so. How about we give you the DVD for the low-low price of entertaining us with a photo caption? Yeah, that’s more like it. On November 24, Vivendi Entertainment will release Far Cry on DVD. And we’re giving you a chance to win a copy for free. All you have to do is think of a fun caption for the image above and write it into the comment section below.

There are other rules: (a) you must be 18 or older, (b) you must be a legal resident of the United States or Canada and (c) you must provide your email address in the comment form below (please don’t leave it in the actual comment, that’s not safe). Ten (10) winners will be selected on Monday, November 30, 2009 and contacted shortly thereafter. Good luck.

About Far Cry
Til Schwiger (Inglourious Basterds), Udo Kier (Grindhouse), and Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw IV) star in the action-packed story of a reporter who investigates the deaths of mercenaries on an island off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Upon docking, they are attacked and pursued by a squad of mercenaries employed by scientist, Dr. Krieger (Udo Kier). In their attempt to escape, they uncover Dr. Krieger’s secret lab and unleash the genetically engineered beasts that he’s created.

About the Film

Pirate Radio is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose “pirate radio” captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.

Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up.

Pirate Radio is in theaters November 13, 2009.

Stare at Goats, And You May Just Win a Prize!

Neil Miller — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:46:49 +0000

You know that it’s going to be a good day when we start off with a sweet giveaway. And we also know that it’s going to be a good day when we get to run a giveaway for a movie with a completely ridiculous concept. And so it is with the upcoming comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats, starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. In celebration of this release, we’ve got a very special prize pack, just for our most affectionate readers. For the record: we tried to get a replica of George Clooney’s awesome mustache (seen above), but were denied. Sad times.

The Prize Pack

One (1) lucky reader will receive the following:

About the Film

In a comedic look at real life events that are almost too bizarre to believe, a reporter discovers a top-secret wing of the U.S. military when he accompanies an enigmatic Special Forces operator on a mind-boggling mission.

Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (Academy Award® winner George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A legion of “Warrior Monks” with unparalleled psychic powers can read the enemy’s thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Now, the program’s founder, Bill Django (Oscar® nominee Jeff Bridges), has gone missing and Cassady’s mission is to find him.

Intrigued by his new acquaintance’s far-fetched stories, Bob impulsively decides to tag along. When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper (two-time Oscar® winner Kevin Spacey), the reporter is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between the forces of Django’s New Earth Army and Hooper’s personal militia of super soldiers. In order to survive this wild adventure, Bob will have to outwit an enemy he never thought possible.

The Men Who Stare at Goats is in theaters November 6, 2009. Watch the trailer below:

Win a Spooky Trick ‘r Treat, er… Treat

Rob Hunter — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:52:47 +0000

One of the best horror anthology movies of the past few decades finally saw release this month in theaters (albeit very limited) and on DVD/Blu-ray… Trick ‘r Treat is Michael Dougherty’s cinematic bag of treats that celebrates Halloween with equal parts creepiness and fun. Dylan Baker, Brian Cox, and Anna Paquin star in what just may become one of your favorite movies of the season. The official synopsis is below.

It is said that Halloween is the night when the dead rise to walk among us and other unspeakable things roam free. The rituals of All Hallows Eve were devised to protect us from their evil mischief, and one small town is about to be taught a terrifying lesson that some traditions are best not forgotten. Nothing is what it seems when a suburban couple learns the dangers of blowing out a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight; four women cross paths with a costumed stalker at a local festival; a group of pranksters goes too far and discovers the horrifying truth buried in a local legend; and a cantankerous old hermit is visited by a strange trick-or-treater with a few bones to pick. Costumes and candy, ghouls and goblins, monsters and mayhem… the tricks and treats of Halloween turn deadly as strange creatures of every variety-human and otherwise-try to survive the scariest night of the year.”

Trick ‘r Treat is available NOW on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand & Digital Download! The Blu-ray includes special features not found on the DVD including:

Commentary with director Michael Dougherty
Additional scenes
Special effects comparison
“Trick ‘r Treat: Season’s Greetings” animated short film by Michael Dougherty, with optional commentary
“Trick ‘r Treat: The Lore and Legends of Halloween” featurette
BD-Live

Two (2) lucky readers will each receive a copy of Trick ‘r Treat on Blu-ray AND a hardcover copy of “Trick ‘r Treat: Tales of Mayhem, Mystery, and Mischief.” (Click here for more info about this very cool book.) As this is my first contest for FSR I thought long and hard about how I would determine the winners. What types of questions would I ask? What kind of self-portrait photos would I request? Then I realized that even if I didn’t get arrested for encouraging illegal picture submissions I’d still end up having to actually judge all of the entries.

So let’s do this instead… All you have to do to enter is be one of our Twitter followers and re-tweet this article. Go to Twitter and follow @Rejectnation and stay in the loop on all things FSR. Here’s a quick 1-2-3 guide to entering:

31 Days of Horror Contest! Win Real Life Stories of Ghosts

Robert Fure — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:39:34 +0000

So maybe you consider yourself a tough guy. Maybe you’ve watched every movie on our list with a malcontent sigh and a bored roll of the eyes. After all, movies are just movies. Well then if that’s your deal buddy, try relaxing. At least, while you can, because The History Channel has agreed to hook us up with three ultra-sweet give-aways that focus on the real life side of ghosts, monsters, and things that go bump in the night.

First up, we have a special themed release of Monsterquest containing 4 episodes surrounding “Movie Monsters.” They are Jaws in Illinois (JAWS), Swamp Stalker (Bigfoot esque), American Werewolf (duh!), and Vampires in America (also duh!). Sounds righteous.

Second up, we have a 5 DVD set of Haunted Histories: America’s Most Haunted Places if you’re the kind of nutjob who thinks it might be a good idea to track down some horrifically haunted areas and see just how long you can hold out before some ghost-witch tears out your hair and makes you kid speak Latin.

And finally, the grand prize, an awesome, awesome, super Mega-Set of Haunted Histories. This set comes complete with 20, count them or just trust me, 20 DVDs featuring real life stories of zombies, vampires, and hauntings. Most (if not all) of America’s Most Haunted Places are included in this set, so you’re really going to get your money’s worth (considering you’re not paying) with this set. There are more than 18 hours of spine-tingling real life accounts to keep your momma busy washing your urine soaked sheets.

How can you win one of this fantastic prizes? Simple, tell us your best ghost story below. Or any true life haunted happening that you were a part of. Make us shiver with fear or throw-up with bulimia fright and you’ll walk away with some true-life horror discs. Winners will be chosen and contacted on October 31st!
