The poster featured the sinister starlet in a bikini, cupping her blood splattered breasts as she beckoned guests to attend her affair, causing city officials and modern-day Puritans to see red.

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 …

Sex In The City Meets Werewolves, And Nobody’s Safe, in “Bitches”

The next Fox dramedy series follows a foursome of New York women who are buddies by day and werewolves by night — which isn’t that far from the last season of Sex In The City.

The new lady werewolf series is still in development, but the script comes from Superman Returns and X2 screenwriter Michael Dougherty.

Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts, Pushing Daisies producers, are on board to supervise Dougherty, and since it’s being described as a quirky fairy tale, they seem like a great fit.

So this would be the next in the long line of werewolf projects coming out next year. What, is the mainstream public sick of Vampires already? With The Wolfman, Twilight’s wolf-centric New Moon sequel and the werewolf that should be joining the pack on True Blood, werewolves are becoming the next vampires. I’m just not looking forward to the after-feasting gab session that these ladies are certain to have. 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 …
