Women nominated for the Spike TV Scream Awards 2009
By Superheidi on September 1st, 2009
The 2009 Spike TV Scream Awards will air on Spike Oct. 27th, 2009 at 10PM/9C, and you have a vote in who gets an award. Pretty/Scary is on the nomination committee, so while we tried to get the most deserving women on the voting ballot, not one female any category except as 'actress'. That's right, not even Catherine Hardwicke made it into Best Director for Twilight, but Michael Bay did for Transformers 2.
In any case, there are a few cool nominees that we're excited about...
Alison Lohman ('Drag Me to Hell') - not a horror fan (and not that bright)
By Superheidi on May 25th, 2009
Its soooo depressing when you see a great movie with a seemingly smart lead actress who is funny and great in the film, and she turns out to be basically mentally retarded when you see her interviewed or get to interview her (Jessica Alba, cough cough).
In this video (courtesy of Universal) of an interview with Alison Lohman, star of Drag Me To Hell, Alison talks about Sam's 'directing style' and she basically knows nothing about him or anything he's ever done, and admits her 'comedy' was unintentional. Sigh. OH! She also just sounds really really stupid. Can her agent/manager, whoever you are, please get her 'interview lessons'? Do they have those? Watch the video below...
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
Submitted by Tristan Sinns on Thu, 05/21/2009 - 19:54Sam Raimi has long held a special place in the hearts of horror fans. While Evil Dead held a definite entertainment value, its sequel, Evil Dead 2, struck a chord of hilarity that shivered the lifeblood of the entire genre. Sam Raimi's take on horror back in the late 80's was whacky, gory, absurd, and fun. Raimi since became the lost prodigal son to horror, however, as he understandably took a divergent path into the profitable Spiderman series. Now, with his pockets much fuller, he's returned to the sort of film he started with in Drag Me to Hell to show us that his creative talents within the genre are still bright, shiny, and full of smoking brimstone.
