The 2000′s: A Vital Decade in Horror Cinema

3 November 2012 10:48 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Many film websites published “decade’s best horror films” lists in late 2009/early 2010. While these lists collectively provided a rough snapshot of the genre’s ups and downs during that time, with more time to reflect, it becomes increasingly clear what an important period the 2000’s were for the horror genre on a global scale.

Not only did this decade easily and obviously eclipse the comparatively arid 1990’s in both volume of production and overall quality, the 2000’s can also be looked at as a crucial one for horror cinema despite the justified outrage about the American film industry’s widespread strip-mining of classics and foreign films for remakes/re-boots and its saturation of the market with teen-friendly PG-13 rated horror films.

While by no means as groundbreaking as the 1970’s or as sentimentally regarded as the 1980’s, the 2000’s will be recalled as the decade that, despite well-founded criticisms »

The 12 Most Awkward Sex Scenes in Movies

18 October 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Andy Warhol famously said, "Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets," but clearly he never saw "Monster's Ball." If uncomfortably awkward love scenes don't bother you, this weekend's indie offerings may be just for you.

Check out "The Sessions," featuring an oft-naked Helen Hunt as a sexual surrogate trying to pleasure a disabled virgin (John Hawkes). And, if that's not enough, there's also "The First Time," which highlights a laughably awful (or realistic, depending on your experience) adolescent deflowering.

From the comedic to the absurd to the downright depressing, here are 12 cringe-inducing sex scenes we've compiled for your viewing (dis)pleasure.

12. 'Dave' (1993)

Presidents having affairs is not exactly a taboo subject – particularly during the Clinton Administration, when this comedy came out – but Presidents (or anyone for that matter) suffering a stroke during a sexual tryst is not exactly pleasant to watch. President »

Here's the first trailer for Cinemax's new TV series Transporter, which is the small screen adaptation of Luc Besson and Jason Statham's action-packed movie franchise.

2012 Cannes Film Festival: Our Favorite Celebrity Hairstyles!

28 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | TooFab | See recent TooFab news »

Hollywood's biggest names flocked to the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival last week to promote their new films. But let’s face it, the event was all about fabulous fashions and hair. Granted, women like us don't travel with professional stylists. We have to work with what our mommas gave us and what we can afford. But with the right inspiration and some hairpins, hair ties and a curling iron, you too can make a statement with your hair.It’s no longer about the side-swept bangs, the preppy ponytail or even the sleek straight 'do (sorry Kim Kardashian). Long luscious waves and dramatic buns were the hot hairstyles at Cannes.High buns, messy buns, sleek buns, low buns, buns with feathers or even braids -- no matter what bun style you opt for you’ll be the main fashionista on your block. We were inspired by Kirsten Dunst's braided updo. »
