Female Directors Who Shaped Horror Movies


There is a myth that horror movie are meant exclusively for men, while women prefer to watch romance comedies or something else of the sort. It is silly to think so, and that is why I offer you best horror movie actresses who lightened up the whole concept of horror.
Female Directors Who Shaped Horror Movies
When it comes to reigning royalty in the horror world — the stories that started it all — there are two names that always come up. One is Bram Stoker and his story of ‘Dracula,’ the novel that created an insatiable sea of vampire fiends and supernatural sensuality. The other is Mary Shelley and the “first great modern horror novel,” ‘Frankenstein.’ These worlds set up the horror genre, and defined the monsters who would rule it. They offered up competing notions of menace and sadness, both exploring the worlds of loneliness and despair. And it’s quite lovely that with these two grandparents of the form, the man created the world of sensuous blood-sucking, while the woman created a world of body parts and human monstrosities … but let’s not get caught up in antiquated gender stereotypes.
We have filmmakers like Mary Harron who took Bret Easton Ellis’ ‘American Psycho’ and turned the male gaze on itself, the obsession with image resting solely with Patrick Bateman as he worshipped and obsessed about his body and every inconsequential detail of his life, while the women took on a much more laid back and casual demeanor.
The writer and director of 1982’s ‘Slumber Party Massacre’ is Amy Holden Jones, the woman who wrote and directed ‘Maid to Order’ and penned ‘Beethoven’ and ‘Mystic Pizza’ offered classic, ridiculous and truly terrible horror.
By the way, one of the creepiest Stephen King’s novels was shaped by Mary Lambert. And thankfully, these women are only the tip of the iceberg: Our beloved Kathryn Bigelow moved from campy, ultra-hick vampires in ‘Near Dark’ to history-making Oscar wins. Enjoy here some of them.

5 Movies That Make Audience Sick


When a movie becomes really popular, ever cinema and TV channel does its best to be the first to show it on the screen. That is how the most popular movies turn to be the most annoying ones. Here is the list of the best Hollywood movies that make people feel sick when they watch it on TV.
•    Avatar. Yes, how much you love this movie, it has been on our screen so many times, they we must say No finally. I just want to say thanks to James Cameron who created such a great epic story. But please stop it.

•    The Passion of the Christ. ‘Avatar’ is not the only blockbuster that left a wake in its wake, however. In 2004, ‘The Passion of the Christ’ shocked audiences with its graphic depiction of the crucifixion.

•    The Blair Witch Project. You might expect horror movies to headline a list like this, but the mass sickness caused by ‘The Blair Witch Project’ shot in 1999 was due less to the content than to the style. The movie’s use of handheld cameras and jerky editing led to motion sickness among audiences from coast-to-coast.

•    The Exorcist. The movie was released by Warner Bros. in 1973. A film rewrote the entire concept of horror movies, a blockbuster box office smash continues to earn them money up to this day. By the way, the movie resulted so scary that one day a usual moviegoer fainted and broke his jaw when he fell onto the seat in front of him.

•    Psycho. Before ‘The Exorcist,’ of course, there was ‘Psycho,’ which shocked audiences in 1960 with the sudden and gruesome murder of star Janet Leigh less than halfway through the film. Audiences around the globe were reported to have been afflicted with widespread fainting and vomiting spells, which only helped pique interest about the movie.

The movie is based on the latest novel by J.K. Rowling. The story starts as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their another dangerous mission to track down and destroy the Horcruxes - the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction. Without help or guidance of their professors, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever.
But we get to know that there are Dark Forces that threaten to tear the friends apart. Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter.
The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive. Harry’s only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale–the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.
The story has gained enormous popularity and highly positive reviews and acclaims. What can I add – a good movie for the whole family. It is worth watching.

World’s Most Incredible Leaning Buildings on Video


We can’t always be perfect right? Even some of history’s best architects made mistakes when they designed some of the world’s most beautiful structures. Maybe the ground was too unstable, or adding another 20 meters to the top was not such a great idea, in any case here is a list of five sites that ended up just a little bit different from what the designer imagined… There is another sort of leaning buildings – the ones that are especially created as leaning constructions. In spite of the purpose and idea of the designer, some buildings have become heritage of the society. Here are some videos and interesting facts.

My list would not be complete without the famous Tower of Pisa. It was designed as a bell tower but its main purpose was to promote the town of Pisa. The foundation of the tower was only three meters thick and the soil underneath was unstable. A series of wars interrupted the construction for many years. During the long pause, the soil continued to settle. Rather than abandon the project, builders accommodated the tilt by adding extra height to the upper stories on one side of the Tower. The extra weight caused the upper part of the Tower to lean in the opposite direction.

But it is the Capital Gate that is considered the most leaning building in the world. It is a 525 foot tall tower that leans 18 degrees to the west, 14 degrees more than the Tower of Pisa. And unlike many of these spectacular projects, this one is actually well underway in Abu Dhabi. The building can lean this much thanks to its steel exoskeleton and 490 piles drilled 100 feet into the ground, designed to compensate for gravity, wind, and seismic pressures caused by its peculiar shape.

Top Popular YouTube Videos in Gaming


If you ask me about popularity of this or that TV show, movie, video game or something else, I will advise you to visit you tube website. The reason is I am sure that you tube is the only true measure of popularity of a video. So looking for information about the most popular videos in gaming, guess what website I consulted. Well, here you have top popular videos in gaming according to you tube:
•    Leeroy Jenkins. It is the name of World of Warcraft character. The character’s popularity resulted in his inclusion in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Reflecting the video in which he appears, Leeroy is a detriment to the rest of the player’s team, exhausting them for the current and following turns. For gameplay reasons, his effects are not entirely negative: although no one else can attack, Leeroy can attack instantly should the player repeat Leeroy’s famous shout, and his attack is unusually high compared to the cost of playing him.

•    Multiplayer Teaser for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Black Ops is a first-person shooter video gamedeveloped by Treyarch, published by Activision and released worldwide on November 9, 2010 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Nintendo DS.

•    The new trailer for Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft released a teaser trailer for the upcoming animated short Assassin’s Creed Ascendance, which is kind of a teaser for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Ascendance tells the story of Ezio’s attempt to dethrone the Borgia family from the papal throne. It became available on PSN and Xbox Live on November 16.

•    Girls from gaming! That is an unusual sort of gaming video, though people in the street were asked about the hottest girls in gaming. In the result we have the video that took the forth place in our list.

•    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. They launched a new trailer with multiple sound, video and gaming effects. So if you are in Call of Duty, the new trailer is what you must watch right now.
