In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, sweethearts Brad Majors (Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a storm, visit the creepy home of eccentric Dr. Frank N Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite scientist in search of a phone. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O’Brien). The film, famed for midnight showings, has been screened regularly since its September 1975 U.S. release, often with audiences in full costume playing out the scenes as they are shown.

Watch Daniel Radcliffe In First Trailer For Alexandre Aja’s HORNS

_DSC7980.NEF

The first trailer has arrived for director Alexandre Aja’s HORNS. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, the upcoming film is based on Joe Hill’s cult novel.

Blamed for the murder of his girlfriend and ostracized by everyone he knows, a small-town guy Ig Perrish (Radcliffe) awakens one morning to find he’s grown a pair of horns. Armed with the supernatural powers they possess, he sets out to find the true killer.

What does Aja say about the source material? “It was not just a parable about good vs. evil, but a supernatural thriller with a romantic quest at its heart. As Joe Hill’s novel garnered a cult following and became a phenomena around the world, I felt it was my duty to respect its most original elements and to stay true to the fanbase.”

_DSC9895.NEF

Also featuring Juno Temple, Max Minghella, Joe Anderson, Kelli Garner, Heather Graham, David Morse, Kathleen Quinlan, and James Remar, HORNS opens in theaters October 31st.

ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE : Damsel Here

kinopoisk.ru

What makes a superhero super? Is it their moral character, or their fantastic powers that allow them to vanquish all villains? What if their powers were lost and the very reason for their existence was suddenly drained from them? ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE is now out on Blu-ray and DVD, from Image Entertainment, and in honor of the release, WAMG decided to take a look at the other side of superheroes… the not so damsel in distress.

While there are plenty of innocent hostages, Sophie Merkley as Shadow isn’t one of them.  Merkley joins the impressive company of strong women that includes Scarlett Johansson (Marvel’s The Avengers), Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and Sigourney Weaver (Alien). Check them out below.

Scarlett Johansson as BLACK WIDOW : Marvel’s THE AVENGERS

avengers-trailer-08_610-1

The only female in the Avengers Initiative, Natasha Romanoff (a.k.a Black Widow) has earned her place amongst the big boys. Despite not having any superpowers, she still kicks ass by using her skills as a highly trained spy for S.H.I.E.L.D. When we first see Romanoff in Marvel’s THE AVENGERS she seems to be in captivity. Don’t let this fool you. She always has the upper hand… as you can see in this clip.

Sarah Michelle Gellar as BUFFY SUMMERS : ‘BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER’

528283-the_freshman_7

Buffy just wanted to have a normal teenage life. Cheerleading, dating, and fun with her friends. She didn’t expect to add “The Chosen One” to her list. See, she was never meant to be a normal girl. Buffy is a vampire slayer. Don’t let her snotty, superficial exterior fool you. Buffy is one tough cookie. Her innocent looks are what help her to lure the vampires in on her nightly hunts. Check out some of Buffy’s snark below.

 Sigourney Weaver as ELLEN RIPLEY : ALIEN, ALIENS, ALIEN 3, ALIEN RESURRECTION

3yredydy

The character of Ellen Ripley is considered to be one of the best female protagonists of all time, and with good reason. Not only is the character strong, it set out to challenge gender roles in film, and landed Sigourney Weaver her first Academy Awards nomination for Best Actress. Weaver’s character rebels against the stereotypical slasher film stereotype. Instead of running around while screaming her head off, she transforms from nervous and scared to ass-kicking warrior. Check out the trailer to the the 1979 film that started it all, ALIEN here.

There you have it. A small glimpse into some of our favorite damsels who’ve got the situation under control. Who are some of your favorites? Be sure to let us know!

ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE is out on BLU-RAY and DVD now

Four masked avengers find themselves stripped of their powers by a cruel arch-nemesis they defeated years earlier… or so they thought. When the sinister mastermind puts the heroes through a series of brutal challenges that are virtually impossible to overcome, they must battle the clock – and each other – in a race to stop a deadly countdown that could mean total destruction.

Starring James Remar (‘DEXTER’), Lucas Till (X-MEN : FIRST CLASS) and Jason Trost (THE FP). Get your Blu-Ray or DVD copy of ALL SUPERHEROES MUST DIE now!
