Every time we here at Fork Party watch a movie from the ‘Aliens’ series… it makes us very hungry. Not sure what’s doing it to us. Maybe it’s all the slime? Maybe it’s the horribly violent deaths?

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Official Trailer (Video)

Spider-Man was the first superhero to make it onto the big screen and really start the comic book movie trend without suckifying it.

Lots of bootleg versions have been poppin’ up, but here is a look at the official trailer.

Death Metal Meets ‘Star Wars’ (Video)

For centuries nerds everywhere have plastered the walls of their grandmother’s basement with “Star Wars” items, posters and trinkets.

If ‘Saving Private Ryan’ Were a Comedy (Video)

One thing you can say about the classic Steven Spielberg movie “Saving Private Ryan” is that it is definitely NOT a comedy. Well, some Youtubers thought different and saw the hilarious silver comedy lining in the dark cloud of sad that penetrates the film. This shows us a different view of the film… if it was a WWII comedy (which is an extremely hard thing to make funny.)
