"Christmas is a time of peace and harmony, where we remember baby Jesus, born into a manger. There were shepherds, wise men, sweet hay and swaddling clothes. But we often forget how dark the Christmas story actually is. First of all you’ve got poor Joseph, convinced that his fiance has been knocked up by another man. Then she gives birth in a barn, which would not be sweet or pleasant in any way. If that weren’t bad enough, the wise men tip Herod off to the fact that a new king has been born, and he goes and kills all the first born sons in Judea, forcing the Holy Family into exile. Real smooth, wise men, did you miss the star that told you to keep your mouths shut? There are plenty of movies about Christmas, a few about the nativity and plenty more about Santa. But there aren’t any that capture the despair and desperation of the original tale. Placed within the larger narrative of the Christian gospel, the nativity is about a god being subjected to the vulnerability of an infancy, ... "

"It’s Halloween, a time when sales of candy and rentals of horror movies spike off the charts. Candy has been around since the time of the ancient Egyptians, but the horror film is barely 100 years old. The genre is enjoying a resurgence in popularity over the past several years: right now you’ve got Saw V in wide release, Let The Right One In in limited theaters, the vampy teen Twilight coming up in a few weeks and True Blood making waves on HBO. Studios can’t seem to go more than a few months without releasing some sort of a zombie flick, and vampires are coming back into their own. But what was the first real horror film? Before movies existed, people had to get their scares from books and the local newspaper, but now you can just switch on cable and tune into NBC’s Chiller channel for instant scares. Check out a brief history of the horror movie after the break, and look just how far we’ve come.

"[quote user="Risselada"] I was still terrified after I figured out that he was the one they were going to sacrifice. I didn't know he would get burned alive though. And the figure they put him in was just real creepy. It aggrivates me for the same reasons you say it "gets under your skin". What do you mean exactly when you say it get under your skin? Is that a pleasant feeling or not? Maybe it's hard for me to believe that a group of people who had never sacrificed another human being before (even if they had sacrified animals) would be so willing to do it. And take so much pleasure in doing it! And at the same time it's not that hard for me to believe, and the fact that I can almost believe it makes me feel even more sick. [/quote] Oh, I totally misunderstood you Rizzo! I thought you were aggravated or frustrated by the movie's style or something. Instead it sounds like we had really similar reactions. By "getting under my skin" I meant that I found it demented and creepy, b ... "

"I saw The Exorcist for the first time last night, and while I was ready to have the tuna salad scared out of me, I thought it was pretty low on the fright-o-meter. There are definitely several "whoa" scenes where you can't believe that what's onscreen is actually happening, but that doesn't make it scary. It would definitely be terrifying to be in the same room with a possessed Regan and the paranormal activity that occurs is pretty mesmerizing, but that doesn't make it scary either. What stood out to me was the intensity of the exorcism scene and how well Max von Sydow played his part throughout the sequence. It was some hardcore, ghostbustin' ass shit with a devilish twist, but I wasn't nearly as freaked out by it as I was with Rosemary's Baby, which I consider to be a much better fil "

"Jeff Goldblum is at Telluride to promote his new film, Adam Resurrected, directed by Paul Schrader. The film follows the story of a Holocaust survivor who also happens to be a clown. Committed to an asylum after the war, he becomes a ring leader of sorts. On the opening day of the festival Goldblum was graciously hugging young fans and striking odd poses for snap-shots. We got a chance to ask him about his media intake, which includes a substantial amount homework from Schrader. Spout: What movies have you seen and enjoyed lately? Jeff Goldbloom: I’ve gone to the movies theaters recently and saw two movies I really enjoyed. The Woody Allen movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I had a very very good time at that, loved that. Then I saw this documentary called Man on Wire. It’s really, really good, I enjoyed that to no end. Spout: Have you been watching anything lately on television that ha "

"This week we have two big-time offenders: Mike Myers’ The Love Guru, which has brought concern from Hindus, because the comedy seems to be making fun of the Hindu religion; and Ron Howard’s Angels & Demons, the “sequel” to The Da Vinci Code, adapted from Dan Brown’s bestseller. Earlier this week, the Vatican banned the latter production from all Catholic churches in Rome. The following statement from Father Marco Fibbi, spokesman for the diocese of Rome, was a favorite quote from the story: “Usually we read the script but in this case it wasn’t necessary. Just the name Dan Brown was enough.” Of course, these days, religious organizations taking offense to a movie seems so commonplace that news like this is hardly even considered bad buzz. Neither The Love Guru nor Angels & Demons will be too aversely affected by the protests or boycotts. Both films will merely be added to the following list of major offenders (in alphabetical order so as not to offend anyone who thin "

"I've been a fan of Roman Polanski's since I saw "The Pianist" (quite possibly his masterpiece), and subsequently went back and saw a lot of his older films. I'm not surprised with the amount of talent this man has, and this film is no exception. Deftly directed, my only complaint is that the neighbor characters are REALLY annoying. And even though it is nearly 40 years old, it's still a very chilling tale (told with a touch of psychedelic style as only 60's films have) and a good thriller to put in on a cold October night. "

"I was looking at a website for the upoming horror movies and it showed that a director was going to make a remake of the 1978 horror film Rosemary's babby. I hope they really do update the film because the film can be put into a mdern twist b ut only if they actually keep the fear of birth control in the film. That was the ra when birth control was a big fear and a demonic baby w3ould be the result. hope that we do get a piece of crap film that is full of gore but no substance at all. Ireally pray also the driector understands what a good horror movie has to offer. I think horror has gone down and the new cellphone generation is the only good thing right now. I also feel that this generation's lack of substance makes the generational lack of excitment a reason and a lack of intelligence and giving the audience all the answers is because we want everything spelled out for us. I hope we can go back to the old good eighties with Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street. "

"Rosemary's Baby is like that Spring Break you didn't go anywhere and stayed home- you wish it had been more exciting, but you're glad it happend. Polanski's supposed horror classic is overrated, as is most of the director's work, but if you stick with it you'll find a strong ending. Most everyone knows what the movie is about, which is odd because the movie doesn't reveal it's about it for a very long time. Rosemary Whitehead (Mia Farrow) and her husband Guy (John Cassavetes, taking one of his many acting jobs to finance his directoral career), move into a new a new apartment in New York where they hope to start a family. They are happy until Guy, an actor, looses out on a major part, and they start to be pesterd by the eccentric old couple from upstars (Ruth Gordan and Sydney Blackmer). But then Guy suddenly gets the part, and Rosemary becomes pregnant. Slowly odd things happen, until they begin to add up... The obvious film to compare Polanski's effort to is Richard Donner's ... "

"In this week’s New York, David Edelstein lists a number of films that significantly represent the Big Apple. Because it’s a celebration of the magazine’s 40th anniversary, though, it only goes back as far as 1968 (the year of Planet of the Apes and Rosemary’s Baby). So, tragically no timely mention of The Naked City, which lost both its director and star recently. Edelstein claims to be upset about having to be exclusive, though he seems more concerned with the fact that there aren’t many recent films in the bunch (he asks if I Am Legend has cultural impact). There are a couple films from this decade cited, both of them bearing post-9/11 significance, though he glaringly avoids referencing
