Jessica Biel Has a Crush on Jennifer Garner

11 hours ago | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" star Jessica Biel, gave thumbs up for Ben Affleck's taste in woman and addressed Ben's wife, Jennifer Garner, as her girl crush. However, Jessica insisted that she's no competition for Ben because she isn't sexually attracted to Jennifer and her admiration for the "Elektra" star is purely platonic.

Jessica, who is now dating Justin Timberlake, said, "My girl crush is Jen Garner at the moment (but) here's the thing with girl crushes: it's more of a respect thing." She continued, "It's like, you're beautiful, you're cool, you look and seem like somebody I would want to hang out with and your career is awesome."

On November 10, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner were spotted breaking bread together at Madeo in Los Angeles. The two actresses were co-stars in the star-studded Garry Marshall's movie, "Valentine's Day", which will be released in the U.S. on February »

25 Most Disturbing Movies #4: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

9 November 2009 12:57 PM, PST | GreenCine | See recent GreenCine news »

Continuing Simon Augustine's countdown of the Most Disturbing Movies (Read Part 1 for the first 13). [<< #5]

4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) 8/8

Tobe Hooper, a talented and innovative filmmaker who never quite got his mainstream due, even after making Poltergeist (and be embroiled in controversy with Steven Spielberg about who actually directed it), made this perennial classic on the cheap in the early seventies. Taking the baton from Wes Craven and Last House on The Left, it expresses the miasma of violent dread and disorientation that hung over an America left schizophrenic by the auto-cannibalism of Vietnam, Kent State, Attica, Watergate, etc. Hooper swings at the audience with the kind of gritty haymaker that only very hungry, very creative, and very poor directors just out of the gate can make. »

Overture Films just sent over a new image from their upcoming remake of “The Crazies”. It features Radha Mitchell in a position I’ve often thought about.

Horror Chick: Why Do We Like Scary Movies?

5 November 2009 9:02 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Melissa Lafsky is a friend of mine, but she's always seemed strange to me for one reason: She loves horror movies. Loves them. Thrillers, slashers, creature features — she's seen all of them, probably a bunch of times, and certainly without her eyes covered. I, by contrast, mute the sound when some stupid slasher commercial comes on during The Daily Show (seriously, Comedy Central, it's enough). I fail to see how a movie called "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" could be remotely appealing, let alone beget any sort of sequel. And yet, horror films are big box office hits, and always seem to find an audience. Which explains why Melissa's new column, "Horror Chick," has become such a favorite over at The Awl, where she writes with gusto about dismemberments, flayings, hangings, stabbings, impalings, devourings, eviscerations and the odd demonic possession.... »

5 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

This year, MTV offered up its take on the slasher genre with My Super Psycho Sweet 16 . Now, the network is exploring Savage County , which culls its inspiration from the mad hillbilly sub-genre.

‘Tron Legacy’ Writers Set To Write Ouija Board Movie

2 November 2009 11:08 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Alongside what seems like every second toy or board game on the shelf, a Ouija board movie is apparently on its way to the big screen. Over time, Michael Bay (or at least his company, Platinum Dunes) has been attached to the project, which did give it some legitimacy. But for some reason I never thought they would go ahead and make one. Well I was wrong.

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Blog, not only is Michael Bay going to be producing Ouija through Platinum Dunes (who were responsible for horror remakes such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th and the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street, Fyi) alongside Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, but they have signed writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Tron Legacy, Lost) to pen the script. Hasbro’s Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir will also produce.

 

So how do you »

Will Tobe Hooper Return For The Next Texas Chainsaw Remake?

2 November 2009 9:23 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Unpopular opinion of the day: Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror flick “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is not a good film. Sure, it broke new ground in terms of intensity and introduced a lot of people to the extremes of hardcore horror, but it’s far from entertaining. The characters are nerve-shredding idiots, the villains are head-splitting irritants, and the direction is spotty at best. In fact, I’d say Marcus Nispel’s version of the material is far more effective despite the questionable presence of Jessica Biel. Feel free to build a wooden cross in your parents’ musty basement and nail me to if you feel the need, but, deep down, you know I’m right. According to the folks at Slashfilm, Tobe Hooper is in talks with Twisted Pictures to direct a “contemporary” version of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” though what that specifically entails is anybody’s guess. In case you’re a little behind, »

Halloween List-Making Invades The MTV Newsroom

30 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

For this week's final Halloween movies list, I decided to turn hit up the real superstars: my co-workers here in the MTV Newsroom who keep this great ship moving every damn day. After the jump you'll find recommendations and reminiscences from around the office. If you're game for some heavy reading, make sure to check out the last write-up, detailing Joel Hanek's pick: "Ernest Scared Stupid." Oh yes, he went there.

As for myself (MTV Movies Blog editor Adam Rosenberg), it's a toss-up. To this day I still have occasional nightmares relating to "Candyman," the Bernard Rose-directed, Virginia Madsen-starring horror flick based on a tale by novelist Clive Barker. There's something uniquely terrifying about the Candyman's ability to attack at any time, day or night. When horror can touch you even in the relative safety of sunlight, that's something to fear.

The other one that still gets me, »

A Halloween Playlist: The Scariest Albums Of All Time

28 October 2009 3:52 AM, PDT | MTV Music News | See recent MTV Music News news »

Let the Cure, Korn and Nine Inch Nails give you nightmares this holiday, in Bigger Than the Sound.

By James Montgomery

The Cure's Robert Smith

If you're like me, you'll probably be spending Halloween hiding in your closet from pagans (seriously, have you ever seen the Nic Cage version of "The Wicker Man"?!?) and the day after Halloween cleaning up the eggs those pagans decided to throw at your house.

Even without the egg-tossing polytheists, Halloween is totally terrifying. The apples stuffed with razorblades, the candy corn, the sexy Ghostbusters — it's like every childhood trauma rolled into one miserable, macabre holiday. And while, in previous years, I'd spend the night quaking in my Snuggie, this Halloween is gonna be different. Rather than hide from my fears, I've decided to embrace them (my mom says it's Ok).

So to thoroughly up the spooky, I've created a list »
