Monster or Horror movies I recommend (no bashing my choices or I WILL NOT be pleased)


-Carrie
-Queen of the Damned
-Red Riding Hood
-Scream 1 - 3
-Let Me In
-Let the Right One In
-Van Helsing
-From Hell (because Jack the Ripper was a truly human monster)
-The Brothers Grimm (not really horror but it's very creepy but also a little silly, ditto for Van Helsing)
-The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, (I personally don't count the third one as canon)
-Sleepy Hollow
-Ringu
-Rasen (Spiral - the original sequel It is too underrated. It's brilliant in my opinion)
-Ringu 2
-Ringu: 0 Birthday
-The Ring
-Rings (a short film which takes place between The Ring and the Ring 2)
-The Ring 2
-BeetleJuice (totally wonko creepy but I love it)
-Bram Stoker's Dracula
-The Underworld Trilogy (I haven't seen Awakening yet)



If your tastes to the entirely brainless then I recommend (also neither is it horror nor about monsters, but shapeshifters and giant bloodsucking Fairies!):

The Twilight Series (because calling it a saga is insulting and utterly and completely wrong)

-Twilight
-New Moon
-Eclipse
-Breaking Dawn part 1


-Interview with the Vampire (solely because Tom Cruise stinks as Lestat in this)

(Ah what I'd give for a book series totally and completely about Leah Clearwater. Written by someone who can actually write. (Not Stephenie Meyer!)

If you like to make fun of twilight the I recc this (I Totally Adore It!):


Vampires Suck (the uncut version)



Worthy of Special Mention:

The television series

-Moonlight was canceled much too soon. It was an absolutely awesome show that was taken from us too soon.

-Grimm (the new NBC television show)

-Once Upon A Time (for those fairy tale lovers out there (there's no horror and rarely any monsters) This show is worth the mention here for the Evil Queen/ Mayor Regina and Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin (especially him) alone.


As of this posting that is where my list ends I may add more later.

It seems that Towne Crossing finally got off it's ass and got "Let Me In"! Guess who's going to he movies tomorrow! Heee.

Not seen Stardust? Look at what you're missing!

Five Things You Didn't Know About The Goonies (Until Now)

By Alexis Chiu

Any true fan knows that Goonies never say die.

As the '80s cult favorite The Goonies marks its quarter-century milestone, adoration for its misfit gang of treasure-hunting teens – including the not-yet-famous Josh Brolin and Sean Astin – is still alive and well.

This weekend, thousands of fans are due to converge upon the waterfront city of Astoria, Ore., where the 1985 film was set and shot, to celebrate all things Goonies. Among the "Come Join the Adventure" events are a tribute concert (performers include cast member Corey Feldman's band, Truth Movement) and a Truffle Shuffle 5k Run/Walk.

Can't make it to Astoria? Well, here are five fun facts about The Goonies – whose anniversary collector's edition is due on DVD and Blu-ray Nov. 2 – 25 years later.

• The filmmakers considered a sequel
"We went through eight writers," says director Richard Donner. "We tried and tried. But you realize you just can't pick up on their lives." The movie's appeal, he says, was in its likeable young stars and "kid's mind" of the story's creator, Steven Spielberg. "It's as Americana as you can possibly get," says Donner. "What kid doesn't go out and look for the pirate treasure?" So, how about a sequel now that catches up with a middle-aged Mikey or over-the-hill Data? Nah, says Donner: "It's too late."

• Corey Feldman's Goonies connection with Corey Haim
Feldman, who played the wisecracking Mouth, first encountered his close pal, the late Corey Haim, through The Goonies. "It was in the waiting room – we were auditioning for the same role," says Feldman, now 38. After Haim's death in March at 38, Feldman relied on friends like his Goonies costar Sean Astin for support. "We were really close on the set, but people go their separate ways," says Feldman, who later reconnected with Astin. "Sean was the first one to call me when Corey Haim died. He was one of the first people to call me when Michael Jackson died. We have that true friendship."

• Kerri Green remembers a 'sweet' Astin and a 'cute' Brolin
"Sean is one of the sweetest people alive," recalls Green, who played Andy the cheerleader, of the Lord of the Rings star, 39. "He could get really hyper so everyone tried to keep him away from the craft service table, because he loved his candy." And what of the young Josh Brolin, who played Astin's hunky big brother? "Josh was the cutest, most awesome guy – we all loved him," says Green, now 43 and a mother of two." Not that kissing Brolin was a walk in the park: "I was 17 at the time and it was totally embarrassing," she says. "It's the time of your life when you are the most self-conscious anyway. Then you're being filmed and you have to kiss Josh Brolin – just humiliating!"

• Chunk grew up and went to law school
While some Goonies have gone on to high-profile acting careers, Jeff Cohen – who played the lovably chubby Chunk – is now a Beverly Hills entertainment attorney with a roster of celebrity clients. Cohen, 35, has retired his bare-bellied Truffle Shuffle. But he did indulge the crowd at a University of California, Berkeley, football game (the former student body president was also a football "mic man" who would pump fans up): "Since Goonies that was actually the only time I've done the Truffle Shuffle – when 10,000 drunken college kids were yelling at me to do it." P.S.: He's chunky no more. "Steven [Spielberg] said I went from Chunk to Hunk," says a single (and svelte) Cohen, adding with mock-modesty, "and I defer to his superior judgment."

• The Goonies are Broadway-bound
Donner and his wife, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner, are working on a musical adaptation of the film for the Great White Way. "It'll be pure Goonies," he says. While no original cast members are currently slated to participate, he'd love for Joe Pantoliano and Robert Davi – who played the deliciously villainous Fratelli brothers – to get involved because, says Donner, "They sing beautifully."

So I bought St. Trinian's on DVD (because I wanting to see another movie with the lovely Talulah Riley in it (isn't that a lovely name?) because I wanted to see her as someone other than Mary Bennet. She blew my mind! Oh sure I'd seen her in that two episodes of Doctor Who but I didn't realize who it was in time enough to appreciate the job she did as Miss Evangelista in "Forest of the Dead and "Silence in the Library". And I had no IDEA she was even in Pirate Radio.


Well anyway I feel that St. Trinian's is one movie/DVD that has been largely overlooked or hated without real reason (it only just came on on DVD here in the USA very recently)

I mean where else can you see Rupert Everett in drag? Or Colin Firth mostly naked! Or a little dog named Mr. Darcy, HUMPING COLIN FIRTH's LEG (who once played Mr. Darcy?!?!) I laughed myself silly! Or the supermodel Lily Cole as dowdy little geek? Did I neglect to mention that Colin Firth and Rupert Everett in drag flirting with each other? There's just too much funny to comment on it here without spoiling it for you but at least rent it if nothing else! You won't be sorry!


Hell, screw Colin's Mr. Darcy or even his Mark Darcy, give me a Geoffrey Thwaites or a Jamie Bennett (Love Actually) any day! Did I forget to mention Russell Brand is in this movie too? Heee! This movie (and soundtrack) rocks!

And YES you've got to hear the song I'm listening to ("Saucy Minx" indeed Rawr!). Whee! Now I'm off to finish the second Percy Jackson book!

Finished reading P&P&Z a while ago I loved it but I found myself wanting more want of Zombies and the slaying of zombies. After that I read "Me & Mr. Darcy" (Loved it despite the bad reviews) I feel this is something any (female) fan of Mr. Darcy should read if their searching for their own.

Also trying to read Twilight (again) but the writing is no bad that I find myself setting the book aside every few sentence. Definitely not enough to keep my attention in the long run, but I am trying at least. In the meantime as I'm trying to read the aforementioned horrible book, I find myself also trying to finish other books that I've started (or want to re-read) such as Angels & Demons, Darcy's Story, The Veiled Threat (An in between transformers movies novel or rather a prequel to the second), Patterns of the Force (the 3rd novel in the Coruscant Nights trilogy) and all the while I'm working my way through the Naboo Chronicles series on FFN. My God there's some purple prose there and WAY too much use of the word "angel" *gags*. Despite that though it's s decent story line for an AU (What if Anakin wasn't accepted for training and the Naboo has taken him in?) so I'd trudging my way through that.

Meanwhile I'm going to see Star trek Friday or Saturday, Friday if I can talk my Mother into it (I hate going to the movies by myself) But if not I'm thinking of taking in a show Friday Night with or without her. (Yes I want to see it that badly) Not to mention a week after that the A&D movie will be released and It seems movie season is here once again. Sure I did/do want to see the Wolverine Origin film (Yum! Gambit!) but I think I'll wait for the DVD to come out before I see that.


But for now. I was randomly surfing around, curious to see if there will be a new iPod Nano this year (despite the fact I've decided not to buy one if they do) I came across someone's clever mock up of a tablet iPod (which I call iTab or iPad) in which I've decided that if Apple ever makes one of these. I will buy that baby without hesitation (once I had the money for it)

Man, I can't stop drooling over it!
