Burton and Depp: the hits and misses of cinema’s bromance
14 May 2012 9:46 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
If there was an ever a cinematic partnership to have lasted the years, it is Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Ever since Edward Scissorhands, these two seem to be each other’s go-to guys for new films. With Dark Shadows being released this week, let’s take a stroll down memory lane to see the hits (and misses) of the Burton/Depp bromance.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Burton took a huge gamble by casting Depp, a relatively unknown actor at the time whose credits included a grizzly end in Nightmare on Elm Street. It was a gamble that paid off handsomely – Depp became a huge star playing the charismatic and innocent titular character and Edward Scissorhands received critical acclaim. One of the very few original projects of his career, this touching tale is still one of the highlights in Burton’s career.
Rating: Hit!

Adam Hollingworth casts a satirical eye over Werner Herzog's Into the Abyss: A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life...
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a place called Bavaria. And in Bavaria, there was born many moons ago a strange boy called Werner Herzog.
You may ask yourself why Werner Herzog was such a strange boy. Well, there were in fact many things about little Werner that set him aside from the other boys in Bavaria. First, there was his voice: a lilting, soothing and hypnotic emitter of dulcet tones that could induce even the jolliest individual into a sudden, dreadful depression. Next, there was his mind, a mind so warped that it stretched into the darkest recesses of the mortal world…but more on this later. Finally, there were his eyes: black, soulless, vacant beady eyes that, one supposed, had »

10 Commonly Overlooked Horror Films Worth Seeing
31 March 2012 12:43 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
When I was a kid, I used to love a scary movie. I remember catching the original The Haunting (1963) one night on Channel 9’s Million Dollar Movie when I was home alone. Before it was over, I had every light in the house on. When my mother got home she was screaming she’d been able to see the house glowing from two blocks away. The only thing screaming louder than her was the electricity meter.
That was something of an accomplishment, scaring me like that. Oh, it’s not that I was hard to scare (I still don’t like going down into a dark cellar). But, in those days, the movies didn’t have much to scare you with. Back as far as the 50s, you might find your odd dismemberment and impaling, even an occasional decapitation, but, generally, the rule of the day was restraint. Even those rare dismemberments, »

Hey Bidites! Here's my latest piece.. A 2 and 3/4 inch tall sculpture of Max Schreck as Nosferatu.

New Dracula Movie: Hammer Films
14 March 2012 6:34 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Dracula Resurrected. That would be a good title (methinks) for a new Hammer Films release starring Jean Dujardin as Count Dracula. What? Hammer and Dracula together again? Well, read on… Thanks to the success of the Daniel Radcliffe vehicle The Woman in Black, the recently resurrected Hammer Films may try its hand at another Dracula movie, says Jonathan James in The Daily Dead. During a recent interview with Hammer historian Marcus Hearn, The Daily Dead learned that Hammer is planning a Dracula movie set in the 21st century. Said Hearn: “The company’s chairman, Simon Oakes, is talking about making a new Dracula, and setting it in present-day London. It’s fun to speculate who could step into Christopher Lee’s shoes. Just last year I would probably have dismissed the idea of another Hammer Dracula as quite far-fetched, but I think the success of The Woman in Black has »

Top 10 silent films to watch after The Artist
1 March 2012 3:51 AM, PST | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
With The Artist (2012) having completed its triumphant awards season run, culminating in its five Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards, now seems the ideal time to take a look back at the silent era. Although to many it may seem outdated and redundant today, silent cinema can still offer a unique form of entertainment and spectacle. Additionally, its influence on the world of contemporary cinema goes beyond The Artist to encompass a number of iconic films. However, if you enjoyed Michael Hazanavicius’ ode to silent film then you will surely find plenty here to cherish.
10. Wings (1927)
The only other silent film to have won a Best Picture Oscar, William A. Wellman’s Wings is a melodrama of epic proportions. The story concerns a love triangle between two World War One fighter pilots and a female ambulance driver. Although at times the pace of the film seems long-winded, it is »
Top 10 Groundbreaking Horror Movies of All Time
23 January 2012 1:11 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Welcome to the first Top 10 list of 2012! In celebration of the off-kilter weirdness that is the upcoming release of the anthology film The Theater Bizarre, we bring you a list of other movies that stand out from the crowd. We at Dread Central proudly give you, in chronological order, 10 of the most groundbreaking horror films of all time. Enjoy...
It's difficult to name just 10 groundbreaking horror films because so many of them have led the way for things to follow. There are plenty of films in the genre that trailblazed: Very early entries like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari set the tone for things to come. Early slashers like Black Christmas and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre certainly inspired legions of filmmakers. The first entries of powerhouse franchises could be considered groundbreakers as well by introducing new icons... Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Saw all paved »

10 actors in unrecognisable film roles
5 January 2012 7:07 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
You'll probably know their names, but definitely not their faces, at least in the films mentioned in this list. Here's our pick of actors in unrecognisable roles...
Actors are often praised for the sometimes extraordinary lengths they go to when inhabiting their characters, whether it’s Christian Bale losing unhealthy amounts of weight for The Machinist or Charlize Theron adopting an unglamorous, haggard appearance (with more than a passing resemblance to Jon Voight) for Monster.
Sometimes, though, an actor will be so heavily disguised with make-up, fur or latex that, great though their performances are, it’s almost impossible to tell exactly who we’re watching. This list, therefore, is devoted to ten actors who, thanks to the respective efforts of various effects artists and computer wizards, probably wouldn’t be recognised by their own mothers…
