To read more of Robert’s horror reviews, check out The Coroner’s Report every Thursday. Being a horror fan is tough business and some years are worse than ever. 2008 saw its share of lame PG-13 movies (Prom Night) and an influx of crappy remade Japanese films (Shutter), in addition to having some of the more anticipated films (Trick ‘r Treat) delayed from wide release once again. That said, we worked long and hard to scrounge up 10 Horror films worthy of recognition in 2008 and believe me, it wasn’t easy. 10.

A Map of the World According to Illustrators and Storytellers
by Maria Popova “Cartography can be an incredible form of escapism, as maps act as proxies for experiences.” “Could it have been the drawing of maps that boosted our ancestors beyond the critical threshold which the other apes just failed to cross?,” Richard Dawkins famously speculated. Maps have undoubtedly changed the world as both objects of art and tools of political power. They help us understand time and make sense of the universe. In A Map of the World According to Illustrators and Storytellers (public library), the fine folks of Gestalten — who have a knack for pictorial magic and visual storytelling — collect more than 500 maps by artists, illustrators, and designers representing the creative zeitgeist of modern cartography around the world, ranging from the astoundingly accurate and detailed to the marvelously abstract and utopian.

40 Must See Films of 2013
Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive could very well be my favorite film of 2011. The stripped down style and elegant atmosphere made what would normally be just another pulp story into something mythic and new. That’s why I was ecstatic to hear that Refn and leading man Ryan Gosling would be re-teaming in Only God Forgives, an almost spiritual sequel to Drive. From what’s been released, the plot “follows Julian, who runs a Thai boxing club as a front organization for his family’s drug smuggling operation, as he is forced by his mother Jenna to find and kill the individual responsible for his brother’s recent death.” Refn has said that the filmmaking style present in Drive is very much continued in Only God Forgives, giving the graphic story an almost fairy tale quality. The fact that this is being made gives me all the more reason to be excited for next year in film. There are plenty more films coming out in 2013 that I didn’t list here (again, sorry Hunger Games fans!)
