10 Badass Girl Team Movies First, we have new videos from The Runaways! More anticipation! Firstly, about the Cherry Bomb music video, Vulture says that “while [Dakota Fanning] doesn’t seem uncomfortable in her skin, exactly, there’s a vulnerability to her red-lit motions toward brazenness — especially during the “Hello, Dad; hello, Mom” parts — that gives us a pang of parental panic. A pang of “Hannah Dakota Fanning! Also, E! So here we have a new featurette and seven clips from The Runaways. Although the promise of girl-on-girl action draws us to this flick like bees to honey (you know all about that right, like the circle of life or whatever) it’s also ’cause we like to see girls IN ACTION. We’re not speaking of the shopping/romance flicks where the woman wins for standing up to her philandering husband after Eva Mendes stole him at Bloomingdales. See there are always movies about groups of guys getting together and changing the world. 10 Badass Girl Power Films 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

The Series Project: Puppet Master | Three Cheers for Darkened Years! The Series Project: Puppet Master Film article by: Witney Seibold Charles Band, the head honcho of Full Moon Entertainment – that once-ubiquitous straight-to-video entity that reigned supreme during the VHS era, and still has considerable cultural clout in my own fevered brain – I suspect, used to have childhood nightmares about toys, dolls, or other diminutive monsters. How else to explain his habit of producing, or otherwise being involved in the production of, literally dozens of horror films featuring toys, dolls and other wicked homunculi? Amongst his repertoire are such classics as “Dolls,” “Blood Dolls,” “Dollman,” “Demonic Toys,” “Dollman vs. Demonic Toys,” “Shrunken Heads,” the first two “Ghoulies” movies, “Hideous!” A slight aside: Looking over Charles Band’s filmography on the Internet Movie Database proves that Band is largely responsible for most of the wonderful, trashy genre films I saw growing up. Without further ado, here is a rundown on “Puppet Master.” Series Overview

Wild Realm Reviews: Puppet Master 1 The primary puppets of the Puppetmaster film series are Blade the slasher, Jester the evil medieval clown, Pinhead the tiny-headed thug, Tunneler with his drill head, & Leech Woman who vomits leeches, plus Six Shooter who became an important addition as of the third film.More puppets are added throughout the series, most appearing only once each, not counting the lamentable "clips" episode Puppet Master 8: The Legacy (2003). Additional puppets who had two appearances each were the Egyptian Goblin, Decapitron, Torch, & Mephisto.As an ad hoc series that seems never to have had an overriding vision behind it, Full Moon Productions couldn't even decide on one word or two for Puppet Master or Puppetmaster, their own promotions going back & forth.So too some later films had subtitles, some had only numbers, & some had subtitles once or twice but not religiously used on the great variety of packages & formats in multiple releases over the years.

Juliette agrees to accompany Léa on a visit to their mother, who is confined to a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease. Léa accidentally discovers a clue to why Juliette killed Pierre.

When You Laugh at Old Movies, the Joke Is On You By Sam Adams | Criticwire April 28, 2015 at 2:44PM Keep your mouth shut, and let others have the experience you're too shallow to enjoy. 0000014d-0120-d703-affd-6d25191a0000 If you watch old movies in public, where "old" can mean any time before 1980, you've heard them, out there in the dark. They snigger at the rear projection in "Vertigo" and guffaw at the special effects in "Beauty and the Beast" — the Cocteau version, although it'll probably be the Disney cartoon's turn soon. Every week, it seems there's a new object of ridicule, from classic James Bond movies to the Maysles brothers' "Grey Gardens." In an essay entitled, with admirable directness, "Stop Laughing at Old Movies, You $@&%ing Hipsters," Nicholson rails against the audience who chuckled and tittered their way through a special event involving a projection of Mario Bava's "Hercules in the Haunted World," a 23-piece orchestra, and nine opera singers performing the movie's dialogue. Audiences are free to reject that deal.

Watch Free Documentaries Online The most transgressive sex on screen “To achieve harmony in bad taste is the height of elegance,” wrote Jean Genet, France’s pre-eminent peddler of literary filth, in his novel The Thief's Journal. But when it comes to sex, it’s a philosophy that few filmmakers have seen fit to put on screen. When it isn’t taking place off-camera, sex in cinema is too often a distressingly vanilla affair, long on the soft-focus frotting under moonlight and short on the kind of anything-goes WTF-ery (voyeurism, sadism, masochism... other types of ‘ism’) that was Genet’s stock-in-fleshy-trade. Happily, some films don’t stint on the weird stuff. Steven Shainberg’s oddly touching S&M flick concerns a self-harming 20-something, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, who is drawn into a strange love affair with her boss (James Spader) when she starts work as a secretary at his legal firm. Oh look! Was the sound editor on Peter Strickland’s lushly erotic drama a secret ASMR enthusiast? Ever loved someone so much you just have to have them forever?

23 Best Movies On Netflix You Haven’t Yet Seen (Feb. 2016) Having only made its way to the U.S. 6 long years after its initial release, this is the long-awaited film from the Oscar-winning director of A Separation– and it is in every way extraordinary. It’s a movie stripped down of almost everything to keep only its humans in focus, it is honest and realistic beyond belief and quite simply a must-watch. A group of old friends and relatives reunite for vacation in northern Iran with one of them bringing a new person to the group, Elly, in hopes of her marrying one of the friends, Ahmad. When Elly vanishes without notice, the questions that follow expose the group to unexpected levels, and eventually pose subtle yet sincere questions about gender, politics, and the delicate balance modern-day Iranians live in.

The Feminist Power of Female Ghosts The new movie The Conjuring has been called "scary as hell" and "the summer's scariest movie"—it's so frightening, in fact, that it earned an R rating despite an absence of any explicit violence, sex, gore, or foul language. According to star Patrick Wilson, the film gave the ratings board a case of the willies that was simply too intense for a mere PG-13. Part of what makes the The Conjuring so very disturbing is that, like The Amityville Horror before it, it's "based on true events." By all accounts, the second thing that makes the movie horrifying is its central ghost, a terrifying apparition named Bathsheba. Vera Farmiga, as Lorraine Warren, notices things getting creepy in The Conjuring Like the Final Girl and the Madwoman in the Attic, the female ghost is an enduringly fascinating figure, and her presence in both history and contemporary pop culture holds a wealth of perception and stereotype in its clammy hands.
