10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies

16 hours ago | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

'Paranormal Activity' Director Oren Peli On What Scares Him During Halloween

26 October 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Halloween is on Saturday. Most of you probably know this already. What you may not know is that we've got a full week of crazy Halloween coverage for you here on MTV Movies Blog. Exclusive clips and photos. Interviews. Lists. Blog posts from guest writer (and "The Box director) Richard Kelly. Perhaps even a virgin sacrifice or two, provided we can find some willing readers. Note to willing readers: you can volunteer your immortal soul to us at tips@mtvmoviesblog.com.

The week's festivities include daily lists of kickass movies to watch on or around Halloween. I know what you're thinking. "You guys always post lists on the Movies Blog." Well yes, that's very true. But these lists were picked by celebrities! People who understand what real fear is. First up for the week is Oren Peli, director of the hugely successful "Paranormal Activity." Since he's been so busy scaring us all, »

Scenes We Love: The Others

19 October 2009 5:48 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

There's just not enough ghost movies made these days, and certainly not enough good ones. Few filmmakers opt for Gothic manors, fog, and squeaky doors over the flashy "ghost" splatter-fests on display in The House on Haunted Hill and the 13 Ghosts remakes. I'm not sure why more directors don't opt to play in the spirit world, as I think movies like The Changeling, Paranormal Activity, and even The Blair Witch Project show that audiences can be scared with very little. As Jaws famously proved, it's what you don't see that's frightening, especially when you're dealing with the world of the living and the dead.

I think Alejandro Amenabar's The Others is one of the finest "haunted house" movies ever made. I watched it again last night, and I'm surprised at how little actually happens in this movie. When I first saw it in the theater, it seemed to be a symphony of voices, »

Movies That Put the Owee in Halloween

7 October 2009 10:04 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

It’s that time of year again.  The pumpkins are out, the leaves are turning colors, the air is brisk and chilly.  It’s time for the spooky stories, the frightening films, the maybe not so scary but at times certainly inventive costumes and that most important element…..candy corn.  Yes folks, Halloween season is upon us once again.

My yearly tradition on All Hallows Eve is to hole up in my house, turn off all the lights and settle in to a nice good ole fashioned Horror movie.  What other way to celebrate right?  I figured this would be the perfect time to run down a list movies that fit this time of year perfectly.  Let’s run them down by letter shall we?

H - Starting with the obvious,  Halloween.  John Carpenter’s fright fest with a score so simple, it’s frightening….literally.  Laurie Strode agrees to »

Who are the Greatest All-Time Scream Queens?

16 September 2009 12:49 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

With this week's release of Jennifer's Body it is inevitable the topic of scream queens will come up, and even if it doesn't... I'm bringing it up, but not in the form of a top ten. I really don't see how you can rank these ladies, or what purpose it would serve as several could take the top spot and the others all coming in a close second. They all bring a little something special to each of their films and remain memorable for their performances. So I present you a selection of classic scream queens, including all-timers such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Fay Wray, a few of my own favorites and a selection of memorable extras at the very end. However, once you look through my list tell me who I left off and who your favorite scream queens are. I think I've taken care of many of the obvious choices, »

Tiff Review: Agora

13 September 2009 5:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

"If you choose to do nothing, though, you will continue to do the same thing over and over again."

Hypatia (Rachel Weisz), Agora

To some, the name Alejandro Amenábar sparks instant interest. But if it does not, let me refresh your memory. In 1997, he wrote (with Mateo Gil) and directed the Spanish film Open Your Eyes -- which North American audiences know better by its ultra-strange U.S. remake Vanilla Sky. 2001 marked his English film premiere, the eerie Nicole Kidman thriller The Others (the only feature Gil hasn't co-written). And then in 2004, he went back to Spanish filmmaking with the Javier Bardem-starring Oscar winner The Sea Inside. Now he's grabbed the likes of Rachel Weisz, Max Minghella, and Oscar Isaac for a film that doesn't journey through facial reconstruction, ghosts, or euthanasia. It's a gorgeous, thought-provoking Roman epic called Agora.

The film focuses on one of the most impressive »

Harpers Island (DVD Review)

7 September 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Grabbing my late-night viewing snack, the “thwrick” of the TV snaps on and I “thump” back onto the couch.  The hesitant “tick…tick” of the clock is heard overhead as time seems to suddenly stop.  The sandpaper, “thrush” of my jittery fingers drag the volume up on the TV; “nick, nick” the volume rises.  All of these exonerated, over-the-top emotions are courtesy of the brilliant and nail-biting CBS television show Harper’S Island. 

The series, being dealt the DVD edition treatment this week from CBS DVD, is a series I originally looked over this past spring season.  The show, created by Ari Schlossberg, who penned the 2005 horror/thriller Hide And Seek, and from Executive Producer Jon Turteltaub, who helmed the other CBS hit Jericho, take us on a wild gut-wrenching thriller ride.  Excellently these two masterminds have brought us a series that is unique and original, something that horror and »

Returning from Harper’S Island, Fango chats with star Elaine Cassidy

7 September 2009 1:09 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

With the upcoming release of the DVD edition of the fantastic murder-mystery CBS series, Harper’S Island, Fango has had the pleasure of chatting with the magnificent and stunning Elaine Cassidy.  Besides playing the enthralling character of Abby Mills in Harper’S Island, Cassidy has also been seen in the beautifully terrifying film, The Others (2001) and the 2003 music video, “The Scientist”, with Coldplay front man Chris Martin, to name just a few.

Born in Ireland, this actress has become successfully known in Europe as well as the U.S. film circuits, noting that, “I think the biggest cultural differences are peoples consumptions at breakfast and lunch times.”  With the success of the CBS series, this is surely to be a launching point for the young actress who is expecting her first child with husband Stephen Lord; whom she recently worked with.  Humorously she notes, “…my biggest project is currently being baked. »

Big trailer for Amenábar's 'Agora' has arrived

30 August 2009 4:31 PM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »

Alejandro Amenábar next film is a war epic entitled "Agora," and the first feature trailer for the movie has debuted online. Check it out after the jump, because it looks grand indeed, filled with big battles and goodies for your eyes. Oh, and it's got Rachel Weisz in it as well.

Amenábar, of course, is known for his recent films "The Others" and the brilliant drama "Mar adentro" (The Sea Inside), but his directing credits also include "Open Your Eyes" and "Tesis." I'm not the biggest fan of historic flicks going back this much in time, but I admit "Agora" (which is set in the 4th century A.D.) looks intriguing. »

Beautiful Character Posters from Amenábar's Agora, Too!

28 August 2009 8:29 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Also found on the official website for Alejandro Amenábar's Agora are these four beautifully conceived character posters. We featured the trailer yesterday, which gave you a small glimpse at the epic story and what to expect from the film. These four posters give you a better idea of the four main characters: Rachel Weisz as the philosopher Hypatia (Libertad meaning Freedom), Oscar Isaac as Orestes (Poder meaning Power), Max Minghella as Davus (Pasión meaning Passion), and Sami Samir as Cyril (Ambición meaning Ambition). I really hope at least a few of you out there are still interested in seeing this! Check these out. For more on Agora, head over to the official website agorathemovie.com or just watch the trailer as well. Agora is directed by Spanish-Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar, of Open Your Eyes, The Others, and the Oscar winning The Sea Inside previously. The screenplay was co-written by »

Agora trailer

27 August 2009 5:24 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Spanish director Alejandro Amenábar has been pretty quiet since attracting international attention with Abre Los Ojos in 1997; his only 2 films after were The Others and The Sea Inside, and that one was 5 years ago. By the epic and lush look of his latest project's trailer though, it probably means he just he took his time to do it right. Some of his peers should do as much... His new film Agora stars the hypnotically lovely Rachel Weisz as iconic philosopher, mathematician,... »

‘Robin Hood’ Returns for Third Season on BBC America

5 August 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Just in case you’re not aware, BBC America has other shows besides Doctor Who and Torchwood. Although those two are great, another drama is making some waves across the pond as well and that drama is Robin Hood. Its a fun program with lots of action, solid performances, interesting characters and humor which make it a great way to spend your time — especially if you’re looking for a break from a contemporary setting, sci-fi, time travel or monsters.

Apparently, I’m not the only Robin Hood fan out there because its been given a third season on the network. Here’s all the info from the official press release.

BBC Amerca’s hit revival of Robin Hood returns for a bigger, bolder third season of action-adventure. Toby Stephens (Die Another Day, Jane Eyre) and David Harewood (The Vice, The Palace) join the cast of Jonas Armstrong (Teachers, The Ghost Squad), Richard Armitage (Mi-5, »

Hump Day Hotties: The Cast of Nine

29 July 2009 12:41 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Hello, all. Kieran here (aka the Know nothing Know it All) filling in for Nathaniel with another edition of Hump Day Hotties. Okay...so I have a problem with Nine. I'm a little obsessed, but I'm trying to be guarded about my excitement. We've heard the famous “The Musical is Back!” tune many times (and to no avail) over the aughts, that one has must be guarded. For every Chicago and Moulin Rouge!, there are several Rents, Producers, Dreamgirls, Hairsprays and Sweeney Todds (in ascending order of achievement), failing to land that elusive best picture nod. A plus: Nine is helmed by the man who last took a musical all the way to the win, and is sometimes credited for bringing the musical back (even though he didn't). Regardless of how the film fares, you can't deny that the talent has talent...and hotness in spades.

Darren Aronofsky to Make Black Swan Instead of Robocop?

16 June 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

After being set up in early 2007 at Universal, Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" -- a supernatural thriller set in the world of New York City ballet -- has been reconstituted after being put into turnaround by the studio. Now, Natalie Portman is attached to play the lead. And Mark Heyman has done a rewrite of John McLaughlin's original script. "Swan" centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it's unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions. Those who've read the script say it has elements of "The Others," the Nicole Kidman-starrer in which viewers are left to discern what's real and what's imagined. If a sale happens soon, "Swan" could begin shooting as early as this year. »

Natalie Portman Is A Black Swan

16 June 2009 12:17 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Following the success of The Wrestler Darren Aronofsky has the pick of any project that he wants in Hollywood. If all goes well Natalie Portman will star as a ballerina in Aronofsky’s supernatural thriller Black Swan.

 

The film was originally set up at Universal Pictures back in 2007, but it was put into turnaround (the studio decided not to make it and put the project up for sale). Aronofsky has recently been shopping the film around Hollywood and now with Portman’s attachment it looks like it may very well find a home.

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

“Swan centers on a veteran ballerina who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it’s unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions.”
