FIVE HORROR MOVIES FOR HALLOWE'EN
FOR HALLOWE'EN: MY FAVOURITE BRAND-NEW HORROR MOVIES
I've spent the last couple of weeks watching all kinds of horror movies. These were the BEST. Actually, there are four horror films and one horrifying action/adventure film.
1. The Haunting in Connecticut
2. Drag Me To Hell
3. My Bloody Valentine
4. The Uninvited
5. Sin Nombre
1. THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT
Starring: Virginia Madsen, Kyle Gallner and Elias Koteas.
This was the best of a diverse group of horror movies. It is a very scary yet intelligent story about a young man with terminal cancer and his family moving to a new house. A haunted house, of course. It does not insult viewers by assuming we are stupid. And it has an immensely satisfying ending that I did not see coming.
2. DRAG ME TO HELL
Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long
A wonderful, creepy film with a spectacularly unexpected ending, it mixes an intriguing, everyday sort of backstory with the horror and does so perfectly. Kind of like the Exorcist did so well. And I have to say I just love Alison Lohman in this. She was perfect as the cursed victim of a hideous demon.
3. MY BLOODY VALENTINE
Starring: Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith.
Not the usual slasher film, this one is much more entertaining. It actually presents a few suspects, making the movie all the scarier because you can't guess who the killer actually is until the end. Some unique humour and death scenes to enjoy as well. And I just adored Kerr Smith (from Dawson's Creek.)
4. THE UNINVITED
Starring: Emily Browning, Arielle Kebbel, Elizabeth Banks.
Possibly my favourite of the bunch, this is a 'wicked stepmother' tale of two sisters. It is incredibly well-acted, with some of the most sympathetic characters I've ever seen in a horror film. It just sucked me right in. It also has a very creepy 'surprise' ending that made my hair stand on end on the back of my neck.
5. SIN NOMBRE
Starring: Edgar Flores, Paulina Gaitan and Kristian Ferrer.
The producers were Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, the two cuties who were in 'Y Tu Mama Tambien'.
This is not a horror movie per se, but it is a horrifying and relentless tale of escape. However, it is also profoundly realistic and disturbing, a story about some Honduran refugees trying to get to the USA by means of riding aboard freight trains. The hero is a young man attempting to escape from a terrifying, horrendous gang that he belongs to and unfortunately gets a young friend involved in as well. This film is excellent, but is also relentless in its suspense and terror. It stayed with me for a long time after it scared the shit out of me. The characters seem like people you know. They just enter your life and stay there. And you end up loving them in spite of yourself. This movie killed me, but I loved it and would recommend it to everyone.

*groans* I missed Razzotti in the rain??? *sigh*
I hope there will at least be a pic of him all wet and.......hot.
I LOVE the red colour of the Sevilla kit. And the pics were big and clear, just the way I like!

NO Franco pic :(
I hade a very good stream the last two matches!!! (half the PC screen and good quality)
It was the first time I have seen Emiliano Papa with wet hair. He looks always very proper with hid beautiful hair and wet he looks even hotter.
The pics cannot show all the HOTNESS of the wet guys! Can't wait to get the match to rewatch it.
Chapa got foulded and was sliding over the gras for meters and he looked wet and dirty and so hot when he got up!
Sorry for babbling but I'm in LOVE with the team!
