New Halloween flick is rated R

After months of speculation by horror fans, the MPAA has finally gone done and handed down a rating for David Gordon Green's upcoming Halloween movie . . . one that should please fans as much as fans can be pleased.

Instead of going the PG-13 route of recent Blumhouse horror hits, Green and co-writer Danny McBride went old school, and the movie will indeed be rated R!

But not just any 'ole R rating. This Halloween is rated R for horror violence, bloody images, language, drug use and nudity. Yup, nudity! Something we don't see much in movies these days.

I assure you, Shawn and I are pretty stoked. I wouldn't even want to image a PG-13 Halloween movie, especially given creator John Carpenter's involvement. And the trailer promised some pretty harrowing horror sequences.

Give the trailer a watch. Yeah, we posted it already. But go ahead and watch it again:

Halloween brings back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, and hits cinemas Oct. 19.

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...
