Spotlight/ Shoutout: Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins



Abracadabra, this week’s spotlight/ shoutout is a dual honor, and it goes to Emily Perkins and Katie Isabelle (her friends call her Katie, and I have declared myself a BFF.)

Oh and in the pic Katie I is on the left and Emily P is on the right.

You might recognize these two as the ugly stepsisters from “Another Cinderella Story.”

BUT!!!! Before that they starred together in the “Ginger Snaps” trilogy.

And the reason they earn this weeks’ S/S is because “Ginger Snaps” is awesome! No joke. It is a well-done low budget horror film, that isn’t sold on a bunch of dumb slutty girls dying and mindless, senseless gore. I am just glad to know that those still exist out there. It should be in select video stores or even possibly online. “Ginger Snaps” has action, adventure, mysticism, teen angst, comedy, drama, suspense, and possibly other qualities.

Now GS 2 and GS: Ginger Snaps Back, are not so hot. But they were worth watching.
Katie Isabelle also appeared in “Freddy vs. Jason,” which was okay, but not the best Freddy or Jason pic.

And yes as I mentioned earlier KI and EP reunited to play the ugly stepsisters in “Another Cinderella Story.” That was the whole reason I watched that film. (Totally not true, I had no idea they were both going to be in it. It was a surprise. I saw it because as everybody knows I’m a Selena G fan!) No shame.

    You seriously think there are good low-budget/ indie horror films out there. I personally think there has to be a certain production value that allows the viewer to feel like he or she is seeing real life. Low budget/ indie horror films tend to lack this element and thus become very artificial in look and style, which becomes distracting.

    Quite a few indie horror films do, but independent films also have appeal because they sell themselves on the script and the quality of acting as opposed to special F/X (and fake blood with horror films).

    Anon,
    Here are some decent indie horror films worth checking out..
    Ginger Snaps …of course
    Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield
    Also Wilmer Valderama has a horror pic out called The Dead One...maybe I'll see it for laughs.

    And Gacy (I haven’t seen this one yet, but it looks sooooooooo good.)

    These are off the top of my head. I’ll post more if I remember.

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

Flashback Friday: Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23

Since I was unable to post this week's TBT yesterday, I decided to make up for it with a Flashback Friday today. But instead of posting about music, I'll be paying tribute to an awesome TV show that was gone too soon: Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 . Exactly two weeks ago (yes, I'm often late due to my eminent laziness), on April 11, the pilot episode turned two years old. In the opening scene, June (Dreama Walker) comes home to find her new roommate, Chloe (the amazing Krysten Ritter), having sex with her fiancé on her birthday cake as " Infinity Guitars " by Sleigh Bells plays in the background. Classy And that was just one of many crazy, unexpected things that happened throughout the show. For instance, Chloe tried to set June up with her father (a fact initially unbeknownst to June) just so he would cheat on her mother, who happens to be in a wheelchair. The list goes on, but I don't want to spoil the fun for those who haven't...
