Asian Horror Poster Extravaganza!

I am totally digging these posters for various Asian horror films. You'll notice the repeat appearance of girls in flowing white night gowns and long black hair, a staple of the genre. Before you ask, I have no idea what films these posters correspond to, but if you do, give me a heads up so I can check them out. If the posters are any indication, they should be great fun.

    The first one looks to be The Red Shoes.
    The mouth sewn shut lady one is Art of the Devil 2(awful btw).
    The lady being choked is The Ghost.
    Cinderella is labeled, though I thought it was Tale of Two Sisters at first.
    The rest all look vaguely familiar, but I'm pretty far behind when it comes to Thai horror, which several of these look to be.

    Yeah, long black hair, necks bent back, listful gazes or blank stares. It's just creep as heck all around. I need to watch more of this stuff. :)

Zombieland Trailer Censors Undead Boobs

Image
I was on MySpace when a Zombieland promo popped up with Woody Harrelson and that kid from Juno giving tips on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. This bit of fun seguewayed into the trailer and I was about to click off when I noticed the zombie stripper that chases the Asian businessman out of the nudie club (an image that has stuck with me since my first viewing of the redband trailer) was now wearing a digital bikini top! Check out the regular and restricted trailers at the Zombieland website to witness the hilarity.

And Now This: Pruitt Taylor Vince Creeps Me Out

Image
“His irises tremble violently as the camera fixes on his glassy gaze, and before you know it, you've once again been entranced by the character with whom you're unsure if you should fear or sympathize.”— Actor Bio on Blockbuster Onlin e I just got finished watching Captivity , one of the After Dark Horrorfest films starring Elisha Cuthbert as a kidnapped supermodel with Daniel Gillies and Pruitt Taylor Vince as her captors. Vince gives an unsettling performance as the psychotic Ben Dexter, who owns his own catering business to finance his and his brother's hobby of capturing young women and keeping them in the basement. Vince’s roles always leave me with a feeling of lingering creepiness, so I thought I’d do a brief review of the weirdos he’s played in the past. Monster (2003) Vince plays Gene the stuttering "John" in Monster, one of the many victims of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute from Daytona Beach who became a serial killer. Identity (2003) Malcolm Rivers is

Life Lessons I Learned from Watching Clash of the Titans

Image
Okay so I’m kinda riffing off Pax Romano’s gig over at Billy Love’s Stu , but imitation is the highest form of flattery right? Anyway here are the things about life I learned from Clash of the Titans, in theaters now. Have multiple fabulous costume changes—one outfit is never enough for one movie. I could not help but notice how many different looks Io, Perseus’s love interest, has in Clash—all of them fabulous of course. She starts off in a drapey number and pristine up-do, revealing only her face. This gives way an off-the-shoulder tunic and loose locks when she has to get down and dirty fighting giant scorpions. Io then ditches the cape and sets her look to stun with a fancy drape adorned with a knitted, faux fur accent. Just goes to show you girls, make your pieces multi-task and you can look better than Aphrodite herself.   Accept gifts, they might come in handy Perseus persists (wow, that was a lot of s’s) in refusing the gifts of his father Zeus, like Pegasus and a magical
