Keeping up with their tradition of releasing interesting new horror films as well as cherished cult classics from back in the day, Scream Factory released David Cholewa’s 2012 directorial debut, Dead Shadows, on Blu-ray and DVD today.
Set in Paris on the brink of a comet’s passing, Dead Shadows is a French horror film that combines elements of monster movies and end of the world flicks with mixed results. But those who like their horror served Lovecraft-style are in for a real treat.
While most of Paris’ population is seemingly gearing up to celebrate the grazing of the Earth’s atmosphere by an incoming comet, all Chris (Fabian Wolfrom) wants to do is sleep through the event in his apartment. Chris hates comets, and for good reason. His parents were gruesomely murdered 11 years ago on the night Halley’s comet whizzed by. Ever since that fateful night, Chris has...

Nick Cannon sparked controversy earlier in the week when he debuted his white face character Connor Smallnut while promoting his forthcoming album White People Party Music.
Nick Cannon In White Face
“It's official... I'm White!!!” Cannon captioned the first picture of him as Connor Smallnut. “#Whitepeoplepartymusic #Wppm in stores April 1st!!!!!!Dude Go Get It!!!JoinTheParty!!!! #GoodCredit#DogKissing #BeerPong #FarmersMarkets#FistPumping #CreamCheeseEating #RacialDraft "Bro I got drafted!!"
He also posted a video to his Instagram page to introduce his white face character.
Not long after the posts went up, Cannon was met with backlash from those in both the white and black community. He’s been called a “racist” and the less harsh “ignorant” and “hypocritical.” Unfazed, Cannon has continued on with his stunt. In an effort to show he’s not hypocritical, he praised Robert Downey’s blackface in Tropic Thunder and posted a picture of himself in blackface for a comedy skit.

Nick Cannon's use of whiteface certainly got people talking--and some of the backlash has been pretty brutal. Still, Mariah Carey's hubby has no regrets about his "Connor Smallnut" (yes, seriously) character. "I love this conversation though," he tweeted Monday, as his questionable alter-ego continued to promote his upcoming album White People Party Music. "It's showing a lot of people's true colors...#punintended #wppm woooo!!!" At first, the 33-year-old father of two feigned confusion over the controversy. " Hold up… What the f#ck is "White Face"???" he wrote. "Did I just create a new term??? Nice!!! Lol." "Damn I didn't know it...

What a line.. "White White Face Dekhe... Dilwa Beating Fast.. Chance Maare Re...Dil Dance Maare Re". All of you remember this line from the song 'Dil Dance Maare' from the movie Tashan. A very catchy song in which we see a group of foreigners shooting a movie. Seeing the shoot Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar get excited and sing this song. When I heard the recent statement of adman Prahlad Kakkar about India's obsession with fair skin, this song instantly crossed my mind.
What is this obsession with fair skin for Indians around the world? Even in the Western world an Indian girl or boy with fair skin is much more appreciated as a partner than someone with brown skin. I have seen it happen and know people who have told me they would prefer a partner with fair skin. Mostly men make it a point to mention it.
