You can either hate that they're happening, or you can give them the benefit of the doubt, but the Carrie remake and the new Evil Dead movie are both very much going to happen to us in 2013.

These noise-cancelling wireless headphones have a world of extra features — and they're over 25% off

Headphone quality often comes down to that old axiom of consumerism — you get what you pay for.
