Hammer will reboot The Abominable Snowman

Yet another remake in the seemingly never ending line of remakes, but at least this one is coming from the company that made the original. And THAT movie was released in 1957.

I wasn't alive then, for the record.

Hammer's new version of The Abominable Snowman is written by Matthew Read (Pusher) and Jon Croker (The Woman in Black: Angle of Death) and will again follow a scientific expedition's illegal ascent up an unclimbed peak in one of the world's most formidable mountains. Along the way they awaken an ancient creature *cough a Yeti cough* that could spell certain death for them.

I'm down with this. There's not enough Bigfoot and Yeti movies out there, and the world needs them. That's right, NEEDS them. So far Hammer has done damn fine work resurrecting itself. Here's hoping the trend continues.

We'll be tracking this mofo as it develops. In the meantime, here's the trailer for the original, which also went by the title The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas:

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
