In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts’ venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort’s return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge’s Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 18 /PRNewswire/ — Xenon Pictures announces the theatrical release of the rap-infused horror anthology, SNOOP DOGG’S HOOD OF HORROR. The film, which features Snoop Dogg as the “Crib Keeper,” presents three grisly morality tales that blend horror, anime, live action and a strong dose of gallows humor, partially inspired by the classic comic-book series TALES FROM THE CRYPT. The Xenon Pictures release, produced by Social Capital, BloodWorks, and Snoopadelic Films, will open nationally on Friday, May 4, 2007.
Set in an inner-city landscape where every day is a fight for survival, SNOOP DOGG’S HOOD OF HORROR takes the urban nightmare into the realm of the supernatural and the bizarre. Take, for example, the tagger who’s given the power of life and death by a shamanistic stranger; the bigoted, rich white man who’s in for some nasty surprises from the people he loathes; the rap star whose skeletons come out of the closet — literally. continue reading...
