The Week In Awesome! H2 and More!

TGIF is dead, and out of its ashes rises the new (well, new name) The Week In Awesome! Here are the top five things that got me excited over the past week!
.
1. The Wolfman theatrical trailer - The highly-anticipated remake of Universal's horror classic The Wolf Man has a new extended trailer that looks fantastic! the movie, starring Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and others, comes to the big screen on February 10th of next year. Watch the trailer here.
.
2. Halloween 2 in theaters - Rob Zombie's sequel to his Halloween remake is in theaters this weekend, returning horror icon Michael Myers to the masses. Also announced this weekend is that Zombie will be directing a remake of the classic sci-fi/horror film The Blob.
.
3. Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson - The new album by songstress Ingrid Michaelson was released on Tuesday, featuring a medley of catchy singer-songwriter-type pop music.
.
4. New Avengers #56 - The latest issue of Marvel's flagship Avengers title sees the entire team de-powered by The Wrecking Crew, leaving the non-powered Mockingbird to take them all on. And then things get even more exciting as Osborn's Dark Avengers arrive on the scene.

5. "Again" by Flyleaf - The new single by alternative band Flyleaf debuted this week. Lead singer Lacey Mosley sounds more Alanis Morissette than ever, in a good way, set to a pretty rockin' sound.
