Shouting Match: Best Horror Film of the Decade

31 August 2009 8:19 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

With Rob Zombie's Halloween II and the fourth installment in the Final Destination series out in theaters this weekend, Fsr's resident Devil's Advocate Josh Radde and guest Adam Sweeney decided not to debate between the two franchises, but rather: what is the best horror film of the decade? Shouting Match, heading up to the end of 2009, will occasionally jump into "decade-review mode" and determine what we thought shined in the first part of this bitchin' new century. Opening Statement (Josh) Over the past half century, certain horror films have carved out a niche in which they grew to the heights of their popularity. In the 60's we saw Mama's boy Norman Bates stab a lady in the shower. Spielberg made us think twice about jumping into the ocean in the 70's. The slasher genre hit its absolute apex with Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers in the 80's. Drew Barrymore was the first victim of the 90's horror »

"Wolverine 2", a sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", is being developed by 20th Century Fox and Seed Productions, but there is a chance that Liev Schreiber won't return to play Sabretooth.

"I'm over 40 now, and do I really want to go through the physical stuff that it took to pull that off again? I'm not so sure," the life-partner of actress Naomi Watts explained as quoted by Cinema Blend. He added, "As an audience member, I'd be really interested to see how you'd go from the Liev Schreiber Victor Creed to the Tyler Mane Victor Creed [from X-Men]. So I'd like to see that."

'The Hurt Locker' Treats Audiences to a World of Pain

15 July 2009 9:25 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Employing a level of tension that a horror director would covet, Kathryn Bigelow has crafted a master action film with The Hurt Locker. The Point Break filmmaker has directed a piece of work that should appeal to both action movie hounds with its impeccable special effects, and to indie audiences with its attention to character and detail.

In the unbearably hot summer of 2004 in Baghdad, three men in Bravo Company work together to defuse Iraqi bombs, or Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). From bombs buried in the ground to men wearing vests strapped with explosives, these weapons are responsible for the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqi citizens. Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner, 28 Weeks Later) defuses the bombs, and his cowboy-like manner belies the precision and talent required to do his dangerous, stressful job. The task of Sergeant J.T. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie, Eagle Eye) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty, »
