Now that Season 2 of Dexter is out on DVD, you have no excuse not to find out why this show has garnered five Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. To help you get started, I've created a handy overview of the main characters. Now, all you have to do is watch 24 episodes in the six weeks left before the premiere of Season 3 on Showtime on September 28 at 9 PM ET/PT.

Another day, another horror remake. This time, it's Poltergeist, the 1982 hit ghost movie directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg. According to The Hollywood Reporter, writers Stiles White and Juliet Snowden have been hired by MGM to pen the script. The pair previously wrote the exceedingly mediocre Boogeyman. Let's hope they get it right this time.

Unlike many horror fans, I don't necessarily find "classics" like Poltergeist untouchable as far as remakes go, but I think that Poltergeist holds up well enough after 26 years (Holy bleep, I'm old.) that a remake seems unnecessary. Then again, MGM is no doubt aiming for 13-year-olds born in the mid-'90s, so to them, Poltergeist might look as decrepit as an old Indian burial ground.
