Easy Halloween Twilight Vampire / Witch Look - Barry M Tutorial: I recorded this video in a new location so the lighting isn’t great but at least there is no glare from the window. This is my first attempt to do costume makeup and I would love to hear your comments.

Obviously a Vamp has fangs and a Witch does not have blood coming from her mouth!

Well, Has Catherine Hardwicke Been Booted From the ‘Twilight’ Sequel?

In a press release tonight, both Summit Entertainment and Catherine Hardwicke jointly announced that Hardwicke will NOT be directing New Moon. She says, “I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct NEW MOON. Directing TWILIGHT has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel– it is a great story.”

Twilight set a record for the best opening weekend ever achieved by a female-directed movie, but that director, Catherine Hardwicke, won’t be able to enjoy it for long. Nikki Finke, at Deadline Hollywood Daily, is claiming inside knowledge that Hardwicke is definitely not being re-hired for the sequel, and that an official announcement from Summit Entertainment is imminent.

Rumors about Summit replacing Hardwicke have been swirling ever since the sequel was officially greenlighted after that $70 million opening weekend. Finke quotes anonymous insiders as saying it was the film’s cinematographer and editor who saved Twilight after Hardwicke’s mishandling of it; indeed, some people wondered all along if Hardwicke — whose prior experience was with small, intimate dramas, not vampire movies — was the right choice.

If it’s true that Hardwicke is out — and Finke claims absolute certainty that it is — then Summit will have to be careful how it handles replacing her. Getting a man to take her place might send the message that Summit thinks a woman can’t adequately direct an action movie, and it would be a setback to an industry where there’s already a ridiculous lack of feminine input. As Erik Davis reminded us a couple weeks ago, only 6% of the 250 top-grossing films of 2007 were directed by women. Read more …

‘Twilight’ DVD: Best of Robert Pattinson’s Audio Commentary, Poster and Trailer

I had read that Robert Pattinson was a cut-up on the Twilight DVD commentary track with director Catherine Hardwicke and costar Kristen Stewart, but I needed to hear it (and 122 minutes of his British accent) for myself. The man’s obsession with Edward’s sculpted eyebrows really is quite entertaining. The highlights:

10:20 “See, that look is a very meaningful look,” he says, laughing, as Edward tries to read Bella’s mind the first time he see her in the cafeteria. Self-deprecating humor, check.

11:00 “I didn’t actually know they were rolling when we were doing this scene,” he says, chuckling (presumably) at how bad his acting is when Edward first gets a whiff of Bella in biology. “…I was just kinda cold.”

15:40 “That was really impressive…,” he says when Stewart’s Bella slips and falls on some ice. “What was impressive?” Stewart asks. “That falling over thing,” he says. You can hear her rolling her eyes. “That’s tough…. Do you just fall on your ass?” “Yeah, I just basically fell down.” (This was funny, because he was actually trying to be serious, I think. It won’t happen again.)

17:00 Pattinson insists we all have to see the audition tape he made of the scene where Edward returns from his hunting trip and finally speaks to Bella in biology. “It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen in your entire life.” He says he performed it with a guy, who did a woman’s voice. It’s all very earnest. “Dude, I’m glad you didn’t send that, right?” Hardwicke asks, sounding genuinely concerned that if he had, he wouldn’t have gotten the role. (That’s why he didn’t send it.)

Danny Price’s Top 5/5 Best And Motherfucking Worst Picks For 2008

Well kiddos 2008 is about to go flying out the window and what a year it’s been, a majority shitty one that is! Let’s face it 08′ hasn’t been all that positive on the horror aspect of cinema, why is it that anything of value had to have been sort out? *cough* Repo! *cough*, I mean we’ve been bombarded with such crap fests as Mirrors, The Happening, and Mother of Tears, not to mention the usual serving of vomit inducing remakes; Prom Night, One Missed Call, Day of the Dead, but all was not lost because we were indeed blessed with a slew of such awesomely kickass flicks as; [REC*], Let the Right One In, and Inside (A L’interieur).

So here it is, the 5 absolute best and rock bottom worst flicks of 2008 as picked by moi, sit back and enjoy my opinions dammit! - Danny Price

THE HITS

1. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN - What the hell is this!? A vampire movie that isn’t Twilight? Shock horror! In an age of sparkling vampires and anti-climactic happenings it’s nice to see that originality and genius still exist out there…it may be hidden deep in the heart of Sweden but hey it’s better than locked up in “Michael Bays Chest of Love and JoyTM”, a place where originality hasn’t shone in many a century.

This is a movie quite literally made of pure gold (not an actual guarantee), Let the Right One In hit’s the mark in every conceivable way, the emotional aspect not least of all. Thomas Alfredson has created a finely crafted relationship between the two main characters that it puts all other vampire relationship movies (ah, I wonder which one I’m talking about here) to shame. This boys and ghouls is the best flick of 2008, guaran-damn-teed (and that is an actual one). Read more …

Is Twilight Corrupting Our Nation’s Youth?

Never mind the movie, are Twilight novels turning today’s children into sex-crazed tweenagers? That’s the claim made by one LA Times writer, but we’re unconvinced that the books are that depraved… or even that good.

The LA Times’ Sonja Bolle is the concerned Los Angelino in question:

Much as I like the novels — and I devoured all of them happily — I’m appalled to find that a sizable number of the 25 million copies now in print are going into the hands of 10-year-olds. Why would parents whose children are not yet obsessed with sex encourage their kids to read books that are one long, bodice-ripping romance?

Considering that the Twilight books are really just one long lesson about the value of waiting until you’re married to have sex which will then get you pregnant but don’t you think about an abortion because it’s a sin, it may be somewhat surprising to see Bolle get so hot under the collar about the prospect of kids being lead down the wrong path by these books, but she has an explanation: Read more …
