bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
With countless comic book movie adaptations on DVD and more coming to theaters every few months I can’t help but have comics on my mind. Plus, with the big (and ridiculously awesome) DC reboot on the way my brain is just packed full of comic-y goodness. Which is what brings you today’s post! These are …
Stake Land is a combination of Zombieland and The Road; the setting is bleak, and the zombies are vampires. Really, that’s all there is to it. The ‘vampires’ aren’t thinking machines, they’re crazed, and honestly, the fangs and pace at which they move are really the only thing that separates them from zombies. Once again, …
When vampires first drifted, shadow-like, into popular literature in the early 1800s, this denizen of ancient folklore became an incarnation of the Nightmare Stranger–the alien ‘other’ who presented a threat to civilization itself. It was death reaching out to infect the living. The foreigner who defiled virtuous women. A pagan invader thriving where the light …
One of the big things in superhero comics these days is an over-arching story spread across multiple titles. Recently “The Curse of the Mutants” was an arc that covered an attempt by vampires to take over the world, starting with mutants like the X-Men (figuring that super-powered vampires would make it easier to take over). …
I just watched Daybreakers (yes, I am ridiculously behind on my movie watching) and after finally seeing this huge hit of a film I have the intense desire to rant. Woo! Cue the rant dance! Ok… I don’t actually have a rant dance but if I did I imagine there would be a lot of …
I love Paul Bettany; ever since I saw him play the role of Chaucer in A Knight’s Tale, I have been totally in love with the guy. So, you can imagine how disappointed I was when they crammed all this personality into the role of the ‘priest’. The movie could have been great, but unfortunately, …
Ah, l’amour… at least, I hope. As you all know, I’m a devout member of Team Damon, and according to the latest on the blog-o-sphere, Damon and Elena are headed to Paris. Stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have apparently been dating! Le gasp! But, though they are vacationing together in Paris, they’ve brought their …
I won’t lie, –in my opinion, the Vampire Diaries is definitely a girls sow; there are a few things to attract the discerning males, –good action scenes, a few unbelievably hot chicks, and even some horror. But for the most part, it falls into the realm of ‘supernatural romantic drama’. Which is fine, really, but …
You’ve seen Tru-Blood, the ‘blood orange’ soda that has the kiddies going crazy, and of course the incredibly expensive True Blood jewelry line, –as well as the not-so-expensive jewelry on HBO’s official True Blood merchandise store. But there are about a thousand different things you can find out there, with witty True Blood-isms on them, …
There are tons of True Blood tidbits popping up left and right; in fact there were so many, instead of making an individual post for each one, which might take years, I decided to pack them all into one post so that you could pick and choose the story or trailer that held the most …
The gorgeous and deliciously Irish Colin Farrell was on the Ellen DeGeneres Show a few days ago and chatted about his upcoming film Fright Night, a remake of the 1985 vampire flick. But he did much more than just chat about the movie, him and Ellen also had some vampiric fun. Bwahaha. The show starts …
This is going to be fantastic, –finally, vampires have come to the stage. I personally, wish it could have been in a less speculative and naive story, but sadly, the writer didn’t ask me what I thought before he (or she), decided to pen a ballet that would amalgamate Bathory and Dracula pop-culture. And for that, …
The Season Finale: As I Lay Dying Oh my god. Phew. People. Was that not the perfect ending? It had everything; it had death, resolution, new troubles brewing, an amazingly romantic scene between Damon and Elena, in fact, the only thing that might have made it better would have been a shirtless Tyler Lockwood running …
I love PC games, –even really silly ones, that are rated E for Everyone, or E for incredibly friggin’ Easy. But on the other hand, I hate iProducts and iThings because I think Steve Jobs is the Antichrist. So chances are, I won’t ever get a chance to play Vampire Rush, –a new game for …
I finally watched Blood: The Last Vampire! Yes, I’m behind on my movie watching. However, it was the live-action version I saw, not the anime. Tsk tsk. The live-action was inspired by the influential anime, which came out back in 2000 and was a huge hit worldwide that received cult status. The live-action film on …
The season is coming to an end; but it’s definitely going out with a big fat BANG! It’s not quite the end, –that’s next week, but it’s definitely looking really grim for everyone involved. Last week, Tyler was attacking Caroline and Matt, –after biting Damon, Jenna is a vampire now, about to be sacrificed, Elena …
Okay, okay, I was going to save this for after the season finale of The Vampire Diaries, but I just can’t do it anymore. I interviewed the members of s.o.stereo, –the band that played on Episode 16, The House Guest. Perhaps better known as the episode CW ran before they left us hanging for over …
There are countless vampire movies out there, movies that come in every shape, form and gore-level – you’ve got romantic vampire films, horror movies, cartoons, comedies, thrillers, porn – yeah, you get the point, there are a whole lot of vampire movies. But one genre that doesn’t get nearly enough love is anime, which is …
I was browsing through my NetFlix Watch Instantly section, –and my fellow subscribers will understand this, –coming across new additions to the Watch Instantly section is almost like… coming downstairs on Christmas. Especially if you love b-movies, indie films, and cheap horror. Which means a few new instantly watch-able vampire movies, that maybe not all …
Just what we’ve been wanting, –sexy new photos from Bella and Edward’s honeymoon in Rio, which is better known as the private island getaway Edward takes Bella to, once they’re married. In real life… it’s known as Rio, better still known as “the place where you can get stabbed, mugged, raped, sodomized, cannibalized, drowned, and …
