James Wan's The Conjuring
I loved Insidious. Haven't seen Sinister yet, but have heard nothing but good things. This trailer was - and I can't believe I'm able to say this as most movies don't qualify - but this trailer was FREAKIN' SCARY AS ALL HELL. And that's what I love.
Stitches Trailer
Brilliant! Evil clowns are, often, hard to turn down. Here's another I've posted before and am still waiting to be actually made and released:
Summer People - I Do What I Want
Found this on Brooklyn Vegan. Pretty bad ass. You can go to the band's bandcamp and hear more of their music. From what I've seen thus far I'm really digging Summer People.

The Bronx - New Video: Youth Wasted
I love The Bronx. Sometime in 2003 or 2004 I saw them open for the Dillinger Escape Plan at the Fireside Lounge in Chicago (oh how I miss the Fireside) and they just tore through an amazing set that had me buy their CD on the spot. Fast forward to 2006 and The Bronx II had just come out - and it was even better than the first record! Singer Matt Caughthran is one of the few frontmen who can maintain an intimidating intensity without sacrificing his wit of humor and I like that. This video irked me in the opening moments, as it appeared to be yet another 'band pretending to play' theme, but then all the bizarre male stripper shit kicked in and I had quite the laugh. I haven't had a chance to buy the band's new album, surprisingly titled The Bronx (with a frequently added "IV" to help it stand apart from their other three albums) but it's available in shops and on itunes and it's only a matter of time.
And now since I'm in a Bronx mood, here's some footage of them playing what may possibly be a basement in Barcelona. The sound quality isn't that great, but it's still pretty cool to see them perform in a space this small:

The Wait - Killing Joke 1980/metallica 1987
And the cover. The older I get the more Garage Days Re-Revisited is the only album by this particular band that I can 100% get behind. Well, that's not entirely true, but some days it definitely is.
