napoleon dynamite Napoleon Dynamite ist eine US-amerikanische Filmkomödie, die das Slacker-Leben rund um den gleichnamigen Schüler der Preston High School in Idaho erzählt. Der Film erschien in deutscher Sprache zunächst nur auf der englischen DVD und kam in Deutschland erst später (am 18. Mai 2006) in die Kinos. Handlung[Bearbeiten] Der etwas merkwürdige Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) lebt mit seiner Großmutter und seinem 32 Jahre alten Bruder Kip zusammen, der den ganzen Tag damit verbringt, in Internet-Chats weibliche Bekanntschaften zu suchen. Sabotiert durch die ungewöhnlichen Einflüsse von Onkel Rico, ist Napoleon darum bemüht, eine Partnerin für den Schultanzabend zu finden und verhilft seinem besten Freund Pedro zur Wahl zum Schulpräsidenten (Schülersprecher). Auszeichnungen[Bearbeiten] Der Film wurde beim Sundance Film Festival 2004 für den Grand Jury Prize als bester dramatischer Film nominiert.

watch before you die Nerd Blerp - 10 Great Horror Films You've Never Seen Being a fan of all things horror, I thought it high-time I showed some love for the genre on this site. Horror films are great because they appeal to our most base natures, but also because they are allowed to be as loopy and imaginative as they want...well, at lest they used to be. These days, imagination has been replaced by lots of gore and cheap 'jump-out-of-your-seat' shocks. Horror films no longer follow you home and haunt your dreams in the stillness of the night. 10. This twisted gem from the eighties owes a lot to Freddy Krueger, but is also original and creepy in its own way. 9. This Finnish horror film moves at a delibarately slow pace, but is unsettling as all hell. 8. Q really feels more like two films. 7. This movie actually shares the same writer-director as Q, b-movie mogul Larry Cohen. 6. 13 Tzameti This Georgian thriller can best be described as 'Saw without the bullshit'. 5. Ha. 4. 3. 2. 1.

Five friends ponder society, drug use and their own lives as they go about their usual weekend of snorting, smoking, popping, dancing and sex. The Matador Pierce Brosnan plays an assassin going through a mid-life crisis as he approached retirement. He’s like 007 on a spree of existential questioning. The Good, The Bad, And the Weird Two comical outlaws and a bounty hunter fight for a treasure map in 1940s Manchuria while being pursued by the Japanese army and Chinese bandits. Tucker and Dale vs. A group of college students go camping for the weekend and, through a series of unlucky events, begin thinking that the harmless Tucker & Dale (pictured above) are trying to kill them. New Kids Turbo An absolutely nutty movie from the Netherlands. Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang KKBB is a murder-comedy (?)

The Ten Best Horror Movies You Haven’t Seen | October means Halloween, and Halloween means horror, and horror? Well that means some damn good movies. I presume many of you are searching for a good horror flick to curl up with this month, and while I will advise you to first consult my 10 Best Horror Films of Decade list, I thought I’d compile a new one made up of films that aren’t quite as widely known. Yes, I love The Ring, The Orphanage and The Descent, but there are smaller, more niche movies that are deserving of your attention, and really, once you’ve been scared or grossed out once, it’s not quite the same if you watch the same film again. Here are some new titles that some of you may have seen, but I predict most of you will have not. You may think a few of them suck, and I’ll admit they’re not without their flaws, but if you’re looking for a few decent horror films, you could do a lot worse than these. 10. If you’re not in love with Amber Heard yet, watch Drive Angry, Zombieland or better yet, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. 9.
13 Books to Give For Christmas » Written Word Feed, by M.T. Anderson This is a book that, since it was published in 2002, I have given as a gift every year. And I will continue to do so until the curmudgeon in me takes over and I stop giving people anything, ever, at all. This is the beacon of all YA fiction, the crowning dystopia of dystopias, the kind of future that you can feel happening right now. Perfect for: Everyone. Skippy Dies, by Paul Murray It’s true. Perfect for: Adults who want to reflect on youth. How Did You Get This Number, by Sloane Crosley It’s not a book for the exhausting and/or pretentious reader (they’d be better off with a collection by David Foster Wallace, perhaps), but Crosley’s second go at a collection of essays has most of the earmarks of her first, best-selling I Was Told There’d Be Cake. Perfect for: Women, age 30 and under. Just Kids, by Patti Smith Just Kids is the winner of the 2010 National Book Award, so you can just go ahead and assume it’s going to be good. Perfect for: Girl rockers.
creepy short films I like my horror like I like my uzi fire: in short bursts. So for that reason, I have been combing Youtube for years, trying to find incredibly creepy short films to sate my need. For the most part, I have had to work my way through heaps of coal to find the few diamonds. But I found them. Some are creepy because they effectively play off of our most innate fears. Some are creepy because they are spins in old urban legends we have heard time and time again. And some are just inexplicably creepy. And the best part? Bedfellows This film manages to be scarier in two and a half minutes than most full length movies. It tells a relatively simple story of a woman recieving a rather unexpected call late one night. Besides the last frame of the film, which is a bit silly, this film is pitch perfect and sits with you long after you see it. Or should I say, lays with you? Red Lines Man, if there is one thing we hate more than staying after school, it is staying after school in a haunted school. The Black Hole
