The Top Five Monster Sex Scenes [Nsfw]
15 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
One of the reasons why we love horror films is the dangerous sex appeal – especially in slasher films from the 80s. Although most teenagers in these slasher films suffer brutal deaths after they engage in such sexy behaviors, there is something still strangely and erotically appealing about sex in these horror films. But what about the monster sex scenes? Do they have the same effect on spectators? Are monster scenes sexy? Maybe we’re getting too far ahead of ourselves - what qualifies as a monster sex scene? For the purposes of this list, I am only examining non-human sex – although one human might be involved in the act, at least one monster must be present: whether it be a re-animated head without a body, a creature with several legs, an alien, a ghoulie; basically anything that isn’t human and has undergone some process of “evil-i-zation” qualifies as a »

The week ahead: Catherine Shoard on Douglas and dogs at Cannes

The most coveted award each year, Palme d'Or aside, is the Palme Dog, presented to the year's best pooch performer
Storm clouds gather ahead of the start of the 66th Cannes film festival this Wednesday, with advance forecasts suggesting a thundery first few days. Yet whatever the weather, there is only one drink on offer in Cannes: rosé - by the bucket, whether you like it or not. The label of choice this year is Miravel, brewed at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's chateaux in Provence. The first 6,000-bottle run sold out last month within five hours, despite it being essentially a repackaged version of Pink Floyd, the appellation made by the vineyard's previous owner.
Vanity Fair's taste-tester was highly complimentary in a recent review, praising Miraval's "Hello Kitty pink" and notes of "macerated wild strawberries, confectionery sugars, and strawberry or raspberry Pez [sweets]".

Blu-ray Review: Steven Spielberg’s ‘Jurassic Park’ Released in 3D Version
7 May 2013 6:22 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Few films from the first half of the ’90s have held up as well as Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park,” recently released in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack that includes the 3D version of the film. How Huge is “Jurassic Park”? Adjusted for inflation, it’s made $728 million domestically, 16th all-time and sandwiched between two “Star Wars” movies (“Jedi” and “Phantom”). Everyone talks about Indy. The dinos have actually made more.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Why? Because “Jurassic Park” is more than mere CGI trickery. Critics often lament the lack of character development in favor of CGI dinosaurs and many point to Spielberg’s ascendance as a filmmaker when making those claims but “Jp” works because of Spielberg never lets the Raptors and Rex completely outshine the cast. Led by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, the characters aren’t mere victims as they would be in the hands of lesser filmmakers. »

5 Reasons To See Jurassic Park 3D
21 April 2013 9:46 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
On the heel of Jurassic Park’s 20th anniversary, the ground breaking dino-disaster flick has chomped its way back into theaters. My initial reaction this news? “Eh.” It had been quite a long time since I’d seen any of the films, and the sequels had tainted my memories of the original. And post-conversion 3D tends to be an expensive waste of time and money (Here‘s looking at you Star Wars: Episode 1 3D).
But I’m happy to say that not only is Jurassic Park’s 3D completely immersive, but the movie has withstood the test of time in the best way a movie can – by reminding you of its old magic and throwing in some new magic to boot. The sets, the direction, the dinos, Jeff Goldblum – all of the elements that for years had been muted by television are now larger than life. What audiences felt »

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger get an Escape Plan
11 April 2013 10:46 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Considering the poor box office performance of Bullet to the Head and The Last Stand, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have a lot riding on their upcoming collaboration, with another flop likely to seriously impact the standing of both aging action icons as they approach the twilight stage of their careers. And when said film is called The Tomb, well the headlines would just write themselves, so it's not too surprising to learn that the prison break thriller has now undergone a change of title, and will instead hit cinemas as Escape Plan.
The Tomb Escape Plan is directed by Mikael Håfström (1408, The Rite) and sees Stallone as Ray Breslin, the world's foremost authority on structural security, who finds himself incarcerated in an escape-proof prison of his own design. Inside he meets Church (Arnie), "a complex inmate with multiple shades of grey" (and not just in his hair and goatee »

Watch: The Most Kick-ass 'Event Horizon' Rock Anthem You'll Ever Hear
10 April 2013 5:30 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Event Horizon is best known as being the caveat brought up when talking about director Paul W.S. Anderson. For some people, though, it's more than just an asterisk on Anderson's career. Some people think about Sam Neill leading a crew to investigate the hellish disappearance of another spaceship and are struck with pure, glorious inspiration. Those people are a band called .357 Lover. They not only wrote a song dedicated to "the troubled, evil Dr. Weir," but they made a music video for it. And it's amazing in ways you have to see to understand. Thanks to John Gholson for the find. Follow @Petershall !function(d,s,id){var...

Stallone & Schwarzenegger’s ‘The Tomb’ Gets A Title Change
10 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Last year saw elderly action stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone team-up for The Expendables 2. This year they have each released a stand alone film, The Last Stand and Bullet To The Head, neither of which made a big splash at the box-office. Perhaps that is why their upcoming feature The Tomb has changed its title to the plot descriptive Escape Plan. The Tomb would have been easily mocked had it “died” at the box-office, let alone taken into consideration the ages of its stars. Escape Plan will at least let the punters know exactly what they are going to see, as the film focuses on convicts attempting to escape from a prison. An escape they will no doubt have to plan for.
Escape Plan will be released on 13th September, two weeks earlier than previously scheduled. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jim Caviezel, 50 Cent, Sam Neill, Vincent D’Onofrio, »

The Stallone/Schwarzenegger prison movie has a new name and release date

In the halcyon days of early 2012, when the success of The Expendables seemed to auger a brave new comeback era for the ’80s beefcake action heroes, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone announced that they would co-star in a prison-break film called The Tomb. One year later, Stallone and Schwarzenegger have both starred separately in box office duds — Bullet to the Head and The Last Stand — but The Tomb is still slated to hit theaters in September. In fact, now it’ll hit theaters a little earlier: The film has moved its release date up to Sept. 13, opposite Machete Kills and »

The Tomb Becomes Escape Plan, New Release Date Announced

Remake of Raimi's Early '80s Cult Classic to Top Domestic Box Office This Weekend
6 April 2013 3:33 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Remake of Raimi's early '80s cult classic (and minor box-office performer) to easily surpass Jurassic Park 3D rerelease to land at the top of the domestic chart This past weekend, the no. 1 release at the Us/Canada -- actually, around the world -- box office was the widely panned 3D-converted sequel of a widely panned flick based on a toy. This weekend (April 6-8), in addition to the 3D toy-movie sequel mentioned above, two of the other top four movies on the domestic b.o. chart will be the remake of a bloody cult classic and the 3D-converted relaunch of a 1993 horror blockbuster. As the old saying goes, moviegoers are eager, thirsty, yearning for fresh, original content. That surely helps to explain why the brought-back-to-life Evil Dead will be this early April weekend's top film, likely to be followed by (toy movie sequel) G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the animated The Croods, »

Jurassic Park 3D: Critic's Notebook
5 April 2013 3:43 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
“I hate computers.” Those first words spoken by Sam Neill’s rigorously old-school archeological dinosaur expert in Jurassic Park doubled as a sly nod from Steven Spielberg to his audience as he played in the sandbox of the latest digital technology. That new bag of filmmaking tricks was light years ahead of anything available when the director had first reinvigorated the monster movie 18 years earlier with Jaws. The winking acknowledgement seems even more pronounced now on the 1993 blockbuster’s 20th anniversary, with a deluxe 3D conversion providing an enhanced visual and audio experience. While 3D makeovers have a

"Jurassic Park 3D" Is No Fossil 20 Years Later

"Jurassic Park" roars back into theaters this weekend with the release of "Jurassic Park 3D" -- and it's pretty hard to believe how long it's been since the film's initial release.Even more surprising: After 20 years, the movie still holds up.I recently attended a screening of the 3D version of the film and it's a sight to be seen. Now, just months from my 30th birthday, I was instantly taken back to my childhood the second I heard John Williams' legendary score from the speakers -- it's that powerful.And when Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Sadler (Laura Dern) see their first dinosaurs, I was still in awe with them as director Steven Spielberg's reliance on practical effects over CGI stands the test of time. These monsters are as scary and beautiful now as they were when I was 10 years old.For me, "Jurassic Park" is »

Jurassic Park reopens

Yes, it's been 20 years (!) since Steven Spielberg scared us with rippling water in a plastic cup, Laura Dern and Sam Neill got slack-jawed in the face of giant beasts long thought extinct and Jeff Goldblum used his eccentric charm to add some laughs, and yes sex appeal, to the now-classic Jurassic Park, hitting theatres in 3D April 5.
In case you're too young to remember the first iteration that cleaned up at the box office in 1993, or have since forgotten the pertinent details in the two decades that have passed, we've got a refresher of sorts that outlines the story, the key players and the book that started it all.

11 Reasons to See ‘Jurassic Park 3D’ in Theaters
5 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
While it’s easy enough to knock films that get a post-production 3D-conversion (err, sorry, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), this week’s Jurassic Park 3D is a true exception to the rule. The difference? Well, starting out with a solidly entertaining crowd-pleaser from Steven Spielberg sure doesn’t hurt. Turns out, Jurassic Park in 3D is still one hell of a ride, and that extra dimension is exactly what it should be – a nice bonus, but not essential to audience enjoyment. Are you ready to journey back to Isla Nubar, now with bonus raptor-popping? You should be. After the break, we eschew the standard review format to talk about Jurassic Park 3D (because, well, this movie came out twenty years ago) and give you eleven big reasons why you should shell out your hard-earned movie-going dollars to see the movie this weekend. Really, spare no expense on this one. Take the kids. Find »
