Since the Fright Night remake starring Colin Farrell is now out on DVD I was finally able to give it a watch – and I wasn’t disappointed.

I read a review of “Breaking Dawn Part 1″ that began with the words “worst movie ever.” My reaction? Had this person never seen “Ishtar”? “Dracula 3000″? What about “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” or virtually anything directed by Uwe Boll? Or the entire “Star Wars” prequel trilogy? The same week I went to a …
The latest film in the Twilight franchise, Breaking Dawn Part 1, is actually sending viewers to the hospital. Oddly enough, the cause isn’t Kirsten Stewart’s painful lack of acting skills or Jacob’s swoon-worthy abs – but the big bad (and disgusting) birthing scene. According to reports, the scene in Breaking Dawn where Bella gives birth …
It appears that not even the wonderful National Geographic isn’t immune to the pull of the Twilight franchise. They recently interviewed a vampire folklorist on whether or not hybrids like Renesmee in Breaking Dawn exist in historical accounts. University of Arizona professor George Gutsche, who lectures on both vampires and werewolves, answered NG’s questions perfectly, …

The hit show Supernatural is awesome all on its own – it has an excellent storyline full of magical beasties, two gorgeous lead actors and a hilarious, yet dark, script.

Perhaps appropriate, the latest film in the “Twilight” franchise follows hot on the literary heels of a trilogy in some ways intended as its antithesis. Guillermo del Toro, the visionary film director behind “Hellboy” “Mimic” and “Pan’s Labyrinth,” makes no secret of his desire to see vampires portrayed as monsters. He openly rejected the more …
