		<description><![CDATA[I was reading an article in “Empire Magazine” which mentioned that Nathan Fillion makes every film he’s in at least 25% better.  This got me thinking, who else makes films more watchable even if the movies are terrible to begin with?  So I compiled a list (in no particular order), of those actors and actresses who whether it’s through enthusiasm, comedy value or just sheer presence, make whatever film they’re in just that little bit more exciting.  Feel free to disagree with my opinions below.  
1. Mark Dacascos
Ignoring AMAZING films like “Drive” and “Brotherhood of the Wolf”, and pretty good films like “Only the Strong”, Mark Dacascos has been in some shit.  
No matter though, because the mere fact that any of these turds stars Dacascos causes them to be polished to a degree only some sort of industrial buffer could achieve.  Yes, Mark Dacascos is the heavy duty shit-buffer of STV action movies. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another low budget horror film set in the woods. Great. Great? Well, actually, it is great. Really great. The reason it is great is because it is low budget and therefore it shows the Hollywood hacks how to do it. Dead Wood concerns four friends on a camping trip in the woods, they meet a mysterious stranger, and then things start to go really wrong. A clichéd set-up for sure, but Dead Wood packs in enough punches in its short running time that any similarity to other examples can be ignored. With competent acting, stunning cinematography of beautiful locations and some stand-out scares, Dead Wood is an example of an English horror that ends up being far more effective than much of the big budget bollocks coming from Hollywood.
Firstly, I have to say that I loved the film, it was a real edge-of-your-seat chiller and for a low-budget affair, it was particularly impressive. So, with such a small budget, what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just in time for Halloween, Palisades Tartan has grouped together three of the most successful Asian horror films of recent years in one region 2 DVD collection. Although terms such as ‘essential’ are woefully overused when it comes to such compilations, in this case it certainly rings true, as the three titles are arguably among the most important and influential examples of the modern Asian genre – not least since two of them have been the subject of markedly less successful Hollywood remakes. The films in question, “Audition”, “Dark Water” and “The Eye” also provide a showcase for three highly acclaimed directors in the ever prolific Takashi Miike (still best known in the West for his infamous “Ichi the Killer”), The Pang Brothers (who recently headed for the US themselves with “The Messengers” and a remake of their own “Bangkok Dangerous”) and Hideo Nakata, whose “Ringu” launched the new wave of Eastern horror. 
First up is Miike’s “Audition” which, simply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is not uncommon for a movie to harbor great music, but perhaps it is even rarer for a film to use music in such an innovative way that it enhances the story beyond what mere sound can suggest. This list is not the best integrated sound &#8211; otherwise musicals would dominate &#8211; but the best cohesion of sound and filmmaking as conjugal storytelling, in the way that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button uses CG to show a regression of age, a technique that was pivotal to the entire experience, as opposed to Transformers simply using CG to build a realistic robot. The latter may be fantastic looking, but it doesn&#8217;t enhance the experience beyond the carnal-visual necessity. This is, of course, my opinion, and probably not a very informed one. I hope to foster some debate, so feel free to post your own thoughts in the comments section. Everything below is in order of release.

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.beyondhollywood.com/?p=41032</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The original Spider-Man (2002) film was released to rave reviews, garnering a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the sequel (2004) was even more critically acclaimed with an average of 94%. Now, the similarity between these two movies (besides the cast, setting, and name) is that each one only had one villain, allowing a great deal of focus on just him and Spider-Man. Now, the biggest difference between this incredibly popular sequel and the &#8220;threequel&#8221; was that the third movie had three villains. Oh, yeah, and the ratings were different, too. About 32% different.
So, what was the cause of this? Is there simply a curse on these so-called &#8220;threequels&#8221; (like the 34% drop from x2 to X-Men: The Last Stand), possibly because &#8220;threequel&#8221; is such a stupid word? Or perhaps it&#8217;s because Sam Raimi packed as many villains as he could into a movie, which was easily the biggest complaint critics had regarding the movie. But that may oversimplify the problem: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
As you all should by now know, Patrick Swayze succumbed to cancer yesterday after a lengthy battle which was revealed to the press only just last year. Upon hearing the news I was shocked and saddened, and my condolences go out to his family during this painful time. Hence, in honor of the late and great Mr. Swayze, I&#8217;ve decided to compile a list of 10 of my favorite movies he starred in, some of which you may be surprised to see here, and others that most if not all will agree make the grade. Oh and ladies; don&#8217;t worry. Just because I&#8217;m a dude doesn&#8217;t automatically mean either Point Break or Roadhouse is number 1&#8230;or does it?
10. Red Dawn (1984)
To start off our list we&#8217;re going to take a little trip back to 1984, when the Russians were still the Evil Empire and Pepsi was more popular than Coke. Little was known then that the cold war would be quelled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent surge of Ninjas on celluloid marked by the upcoming releases of Ninja, Ninja Assassin and G.I. Joe (because of Snake Eyes of course…) I felt it was time to take a look back and pick out some of what I deem the best movies featuring the mysterious deadly assassin archetype. Following are my favorite 7 Ninja Flicks of all time (I’m sure there’ll be a bunch of you fanboys that’ll disagree, but I couldn’t care less). Why 7? Why the heck not?


7. Enter the Ninja (1981)This flick is widely regarded as having started the whole 80s ninja craze. If you didn’t see it in its heyday then viewing it now may induce a couple of laughs at best and some groans at worst. Produced by Golan and Globus, Enter the Ninja is certainly something of an anomaly. Parts of it are cool as hell especially in regards to the traditional weaponry and some of the training sequences.

		<description><![CDATA[The main guest at this year&#8217;s Grossmann Film and Wine Festival (Ljutomer, Slovenia) was the great Italian director Ruggero Deodato. Last year Roger Corman and Brian Yuzna were there and interviews with them can be found at Beyond Hollywood. Now, exclusive to this site, comes a talk with the director of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, VIOLENT COPS,  THE HOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE PARK and many others.  
In the following overview of his career, Deodato also reveals news about his most recent and upcoming projects.
Dejan Ognjanović: You have started your career back in the 1960s, and we are now in the XXI century. During the span of your career many things have changed. You began as an assistant director to some big names like Rosselini, Corbucci etc. and now, sadly, it seems that there are no such great directors in Italy. What happened to Italian cinema? What changes did you experience?
Ruggero Deodato: It is very easy for young directors [...]]]></description>

(The original title of this article was &#8220;Ruminations of a Comic-Con Virgin, or How I Learned to Enjoy Standing in Line for 3 Hours in the Hot Sun Next to a Guy in an Ill-Fitting Storm Troopers Costume&#8221;. Alas, that title would have screwed up the site&#8217;s theme something awful, so I&#8217;ve gone the brevity route instead. Such are the considerations of a webmaster.)
Comic-Con. Pronounced &#8220;comi-con&#8221;, without the extra &#8220;c&#8221; in the middle, or so I&#8217;m told by a nice gentleman in an ill-fitting Storm Trooper costume as we stood in line for James Cameron&#8217;s &#8220;Avatar&#8221;. I&#8217;ve heard about it, I&#8217;ve reported on it, and last week, I finally attended one. Along with 250,000 other people, natch. It was, to say the least, an experience, with lots of good, bad, somewhere in-between moments. I learned a lot of things, met a lot of people, made some worthwhile friends, and got shot down by a couple of very hot girls in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Moviedom has supplied the fantasies of bored men with a lot of fetishes over the years. Oh-so-tight corsets, wet T-shirts, tall leggy beauties walking around in nothing but a man&#8217;s shirt. But perhaps the best wardrobe the movies ever introduced to the world at large is pleather &#8212; a combination of plastic and synthetic leather. Basically tight, form-fitting clothes that demands to be worn as tightly as possible, which means the actress who slips them on better have her gym routine down at least a month before the start of shooting. Here, then, is our Top 5 Great Moments in Movie Pleather. It&#8217;s no coincidence that a lot of the women who made our list happens to have starred in comic book movies. Comic book vixens and pleather go together like comic book superheroes and underwear worn on the outside of pants.

If you grew up watching cartoons during the eighties then you&#8217;ve no doubt noticed how some of that period&#8217;s most beloved shows are now being turned into Hollywood blockbusters. What with the sequel to the Transformers movie and GI Joe coming to theaters soon, and Thundercats and Voltron just looming over the horizon, those of us who&#8217;re wetting our pants in anticipation will have more than enough to aid in our reversion to childhood. So then how about those other shows that were on during that same timeframe? You know, all the derivative copycat cartoons that jumped on the bandwagon of existing for the sole purpose of selling toys? Not ringing any bells? Maybe this list will jog your memory then.
5. M.A.S.K
Starting the countdown is everyone&#8217;s favorite, M.A.S.K. This show had absolutely nothing to do with the 1985 film of the same name starring Cher. Instead it was about a group of highly specialized Special Operatives who wore masks designed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boom! Bang! Ka-blooy! Making an action movie is easy, especially if you have Hollywood&#8217;s resources. But sometimes even the big Hollywood movies go underappreciated upon release, destined to be forgotten and lost to the ashes of time aka the back rooms of Blockbusters. Hey, they can&#8217;t all be &#8220;Die Hard&#8221;, I guess. Well there were a lot of really good movies that have gone underappreciated all these years, and this list is determined to right that wrong. It&#8217;s a tough job, but someone&#8217;s gotta do it. After all, did John Mclane shirk from his responsibilities? I don&#8217;t think so. Yippey kiyay, mofos!

#5. The 13th Warrior (1999) d. John McTiernan
Talk about underrated. I don&#8217;t think anyone even gave John McTiernan&#8217;s &#8220;The 13th Warrior&#8221; a single thought when it was released into theaters in 1999. I saw the film when it landed, and loved every second of it. Essentially another retelling of the Beowulf legend based on the book &#8220;Eaters of the [...]]]></description>

To be sure, there&#8217;s nothing good about getting bitten and turned into a bloodsucking creature, but it sure helps that a lot of the vampires that have appeared in the movies and on TV have been of the hot looking variety. And since vampires only exist in the movies, we have absolutely no problems assuming that all vampires are indeed as sexy and inviting as the women on our list of Horror&#8217;s 10 Sexiest Bloodsuckers of the Night, aka Vampires.
So cover up your necks, take your vampire infection medicine, and let&#8217;s get down to our top ten list, starting with #10&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[When compiling a Best of Film list, it’s always difficult to remember the ones that came at the beginning of the year. Learning from past mistakes, I kept a list of every film I saw in 2008, noting the ones that had an impact. All of the ones listed are either four or five star films, and are in no particular order. Since the Oscars are quickly approaching – tune in Feb. 22 &#8211; I indicated which ones were nominees.

“Cloverfield”
 – A genuine “experience” film about New York City under attack. J.J. Abrams conceived of this after a trip to Japan, and it was his attempt at an American “Gojira.” It worked for me. I recently rewatched it on DVD, and even though I knew what was going to happen, I still enjoyed it. My experience was enhanced by watching the DVD extras.

“Iron Man”
 – The only summer blockbuster that delivered. Excellent special effects, delirious action sequences, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Movie trailers. What can&#8217;t they do? The good ones make you sit up and take notice. The bad ones &#8212; eh, they make you flip through the channel to see what&#8217;s playing on the Lifetime Channel. Sometimes the best part of movies are the trailers; who doesn&#8217;t rush to the theaters to catch the trailers that show before the movies? It&#8217;s not a big surprise anymore if the trailers for an upcoming movie proves to be better than the actual movie. Sometimes, just sometimes, the awesomeness of a movie trailer sets the stage for the awesomeness of the movie itself. But alas, that&#8217;s not always the case. Here are our Top 5 Movie Trailers That Made the Movie Awesome (Even if The Movie Itself Wasn&#8217;t). *Why just five? Because we&#8217;re lazy, that&#8217;s why.

		<description><![CDATA[This article comes with a caveat: These movies scared the hell out of me when I first saw them. Years later, the scare factor would decrease for a variety of reasons (the special effects didn&#8217;t stand up through the years, the story became imitated to within an inch of its life, the director became full of himself, etc), but when I stepped into that theater (or plucked down on the sofa) and saw these movies for the very first time, they made me do strange things like wonder if I&#8217;m alone in the house, start looking around the room for shadows, and entertained the idea of turning on every light in the house. In a word, these movies scared the hell out of me.
There are other movies that are notable, but just didn&#8217;t scare me. For instance, I have all the respect in the world for John Carpenter&#8217;s &#8220;Halloween&#8221; and what it&#8217;s done for the genre, but it just didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steven Seagal is not an easy man to love. Being one of those tough guy action heroes, he&#8217;s liable to get into a world of trouble at the drop of a dime, with everyone from the mob to serial killers to ninjas coming at him full-bore. Hey, that&#8217;s just how the Ponytail One rolls. You got a problem with that? When he sees injustice being perpetrated, or the underdog being mistreated, what&#8217;s he supposed to do, just stand there? Of course not. So Steven Seagal cracks heads, arms, legs, and when he&#8217;s in a really foul mood, he goes for the eye gouge, too. (Popping eyeballs are fun.) So what kind of woman could love such a dangerous man? As you&#8217;ll see, there are plenty of good woman to stand behind The Seagal. Here, then, are our Top 5 Steven Seagal Movie Babes.

		<description><![CDATA[I used to be a big, big-time comic book fan when I was younger. In fact, like all diehard comic book collector, I have boxes and boxes full of comics, nicely kept in their mylar bags (with backing board, of course), tucked away somewhere in a corner of my house. Throughout the years, I have seen comic books that I thought would make a good movie, but for one reason or another, never made it. Here, then, are my Top 5 Comic Books that I would sure like to see made into a movie. Some are more original creations than others, but even the ones that aren&#8217;t exactly original, I think would still make a decent, if not great (in the right hands), comic book movie.

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so he&#8217;s the maker of bad, bad, really bad movies based on videogames. How one man can love videogames so much (the dude is, like, in his &#8217;40s!) to make so many movies based on videogames is a mystery I don&#8217;t think anyone can really answer, and I doubt if the man himself knows. Using a combination of a smooth tongue (how does he talk people into investing and acting in these awful movies???) and a loophole in the German tax system that allows him to fund his expensive movies, Uwe Boll has build up an oeuvre that is as impressive as it is horrid. And while you are free to dislike the man for his bad movies, we think there are some good in him, as Luke Skywalker would say, and as a result, we present you with 5 good reasons to love Uwe Boll. Or at least, hate him just a little bit less.
