Drink in Public Fridays

All your drinks are belong to us! If you didn't already know, movie projectors work better in proportion to your Blood Alcohol Content. Let's see what movies are coming out this week, shall we?

Anonymous

Anonymous - Uncover the code to this William Shakespearacy that threatens to tear our modern world apart... A-B-A-B.

The Double

The Double - An agent tracks a killer who is the agent tracking the killer... Topher Grace co-stars in this unlikely sequel to In Good Company.

In Time

In Time - Justin Timberlake is bringing mortality back... you future bourgeoisie don't know how to act.

Puss in Boots

Puss in Boots - Meow that Shrek is living happily ever after, it's time for kitty to mark his territory.

There you have it! A bunch of new releases worth the cocktail, but not even in the same league as our chosen film. You'd better be excited, since this week's movie is none other than...

The Rum Diary

Yeah, we expect great drinking to go along with The Rum Diary. Johnny Depp returns as a fictionalized Hunter S. Thompson in Puerto Rico. I mean, the movie is telling you how to have a good time. Just plan on treating your body like a diary, and make rum your pen. Seriously, you need to Doogie Howser that shit. See you next week!

Cheers!

Drink at Home Tuesdays

Another workweek... another reason to drink. Leave the clubbing to people with a taste for that oontz-oontz music. Who wants to pay for overpriced well drinks, anyway? Let's see what came out this week, shall we?

Atrocious - It's found footage with subtitles... brought to you by Bloody Disgusting Selects.

Attack the Block - Underage hooligans protect their neighbors from an alien invasion.

The Countess - An older lady kills younger ladies to stay a sexy lady.

Faces in the Crowd - A woman suffering from face-blindness isn't very good at identifying her stalker.

Mardi Gras: Spring Break - A group of friends go to Mardi Gras to drink and have sex... yeah, that about sums it up.

Mothman - Jewel Staite fights the Mothman in this Syfy original movie.

The People vs. George Lucas - Documentary proving that hell hath no fury like a g33k scorned, Lucas.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale - A crew unearths the primordial Santa Claus in this Finnish awesome fest.

A Serbian Film - A retired porn star does some insane crazy shit in this NC-17 film, which is getting banned all over the place.

Winnie the Pooh - Pooh goes after that honey, and the rest of his buddies are there for the fun ride.

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings - We go back in time as people keep making wrong turns, and getting murder killed as a result.

Have you already figured out our movie of the week? If not, it's Captain America: The First Avenger. Dude has a shield, and he throws it in Nazi faces. Who doesn't want to raise a glass to that? Stay tuned, as we'll have a themed beverage come this weekend.

Cheers!

Drink in Public Fridays

Sometimes, you just need to drink around other people... in a darkened room. As a movie plays in the background. Yeah, I said background. You've been drinking. Who knows what direction you're facing? Here's a quick rundown of what's opening this weekend, and then what we think is your best chance at a good time.

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey - Elmo isn't real, and this documentary exposes the cover-up with a whole lot of cuteness.

The Catechism Cataclysm - Who doesn't want to take a priest out canoeing as all hell breaks loose?

Johnny English Reborn - Rowan Atkinson is to spies, what Mr. Bean is to regular people.

Margin Call - A ginormous ensemble cast reminds us that big business is evil, and all they ask for is a few Oscars in return.

Martha Marcy May Marlene - Which came first, the crazy girl or the cult?

The Three Muskateers - Presented in 3D(umas), guys with swords fight other guys with swords.

Now, who's ready to get scared? Because nothing is scarier than Paranormal Activity 3 after a couple of shots. You'll see stuff that isn't even there. Pregame. Postgame. During the game. Catch a screening at your local cineplex this weekend, and make the most of it! Just don't forget to designate that driver.

Cheers!

The results are in... Sudden Death!!

Did you miss the Scream Awards? Do you just want to pound some drink drink in a shorter amount of time? Either way, this allows you to partake in a bit of "Sudden Death". Same game. Same rules. Shorter attention span.

With the list of nominees we provided earlier this week, just make your own picks, challenge yourself or a friend, and get to drinking. One category at a time, one drink after the other. How fast can you get through 33 categories? Will you even remember if you do?

Up next are the winners, along with our corresponding wrong answers. All these scorecards prove is how much we were willing to drink that night. Stop reading if you don't want to know ahead of time, though. Sudden Death is for drinking purists... or, casual enthusiasts. Alcohol bears no grudge. Here we go!

SPIKE's Scream Awards - Our Drinks and Eats!

Our nibbles for the night.  The Great, the Good, and the Ugly....

Bloody Sookies

Yummies

Scary Cupcakes...  and not in the good way :(

Drink at Home Tuesdays

Every Tuesday, loads of brand new stuff come out on DVD and/or BLU-RAY. Well, this just gives you an excuse to bring a little bit of pregame into your workweek. Lets breeze through some of the other releases before telling you our pick for the week.

Bad Teacher - Cameron Diaz raunches it up as an indifferent public-school teacher with a sudden change of heart.

Batman: Year One - Batman gets animated to show us where it all began.

Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest - Aren't sure if you want to watch a documentary about this seminal hip-hop group? Ask yourself this one question, "Can I Kick It?"

The Captains - Shatner interviews every captain of the Starship Enterprise. That either sounds amazeballs to you, or it doesn't.

Hellraiser: Revelations - Pinhead returns straight-to-DVD in this ninth film in the series. I guess more people play with that puzzle box than Angry Birds.

The Howling Reborn - Werewolves smell like teen spirit in this reboot of the franchise.

Kevin Smith: Too Fat for 40 - Kevin talks the talk for hometown fans in this taped Q&A.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides -  Captain Jack Sparrow returns because these movies will never stop making money.

Red State - Kevin Smith goes creepy when horny teenagers meet religious extremists.

All of which brings us to this week's winner: The Last Circus. Distributed in the U.S. by Magnet Releasing, this Spanish film is about a sad clown. A sad clown with Uzis. Drink and enjoy!

Cheers!

SPIKE's Scream Awards 2011 - Viewing Afterparty & Drinking Game!

People might say we're setting the bar too high. Those people are stupid... or, short. Either way, are you ready to forget about those people with some alcohol-related amnesia? I told you we were all about the high bar...


PREPARE TO CALL IN SICK THE NEXT MORNING, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE HORROR/HALLOWEEN DATE NIGHT PLANNED!


Warning: You can always drink responsibly on a Tuesday night. The kids might not want to find mommy & daddy covered in their own sick the next morning.



SPIKE TV presented their annual SCREAM Awards this past Saturday night, and we've concocted a drinking game that makes all of us winners! Since the awards show doesn't even premiere until Tuesday, you still have time to raid the liquor cabinet and pantry.


You should also know that the SCREAM Awards isn't just for horror fans.  With great films and television series like HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - PART 2, THE WALKING DEAD, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, GAME OF THRONES, BLACK SWAN, TRUE BLOOD and more nominated for "Ultimate Scream", anyone can join in.

I'm a Lovebird...


He's a Gorehound...


We like to eat, drink and watch us some tv & films. So, why not marry this most glorious of pasttimes into an online service pairing delicious adult beverages with said entertainment?


Sometimes it might be me behind the keystrokes offering etiquette tips and recipes. Other times, he might be providing commentary and reviews. You can expect us to be random from post to post, but don't expect us to be entirely sober.


Cheers!
