I stumbled upon this amazing website which has everything from your television round ups and celebrity gossip to the hottest events in NYC(* which is perfect for me!). getTRIO.com is your one stop website for gossip, the latest in technology and anything you feel you need to keep up with current trends! getTRIO.com brought to my attention two excellent movies, one newly released on DVD,called King of Kong. Which is a documentary that follows two characters as they strive to break the Guinness Book of World Records top King Kong Score. Sounds pretty entertaining! Also a cross genre comedy/ horror flick that has kind of haunted my dreams since watching the trailer called Teeth. "It's not a straight-up teen comedy, not quite horror, and not really a drama -- though when a chaste high school student becomes the target of male violence and discovers herself to have an anatomical quirk that makes her a living example of the vagina dentata myth, things get uncomfortably funny, horrifying, and very dramatic, indeed." The film was the talk of Sundance, with its dark take on sexual power and payback. Sounds off the wall! Be sure to check out more about it on the website! @getTRIO.com Location: Internet Starts: RIGHT NOW!!... 12733@http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/ Film + Movies + TV 2008-01-20T00:10:26-05:00 http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/archives/cat_in_store_events.php TASCHEN Warehouse SALE Thousands of slightly damaged and display copies on sale at bargain basement prices, 50-75% off for 3 days only.

A movie about gutmunching sheep, never has a deadly animal been so damn cute! The basic storyline of this movie is an experiment in genetic engineering turns harmless sheep into blood-thirsty killers that terrorize a sprawling New Zealand farm. The movie came out on Friday, but to me it sounds like a glorious movie to view on a lazy sunday. Don't worry it's a comedy, think Shawn of the Dead except with sheep instead of Zombies!
