Funniest Horror Movie Scene
Still gets me today. Pure genius.
Let the Right One In – Why Vampires Rock
Mark Kermode – You either love him or hate him. If you can make it through his arduous monologues, there’s usually one or two decent film recommendations lying around. I have to thank him for voting Tom Alfredson’s vampire flick ‘Let the Right One In’ as his favourite movie of 2009. It’s taken me ages to get round to watching it but I’ve got to agree with him – it’s possibly the the best vampire film out there.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not really a horror movie fan but that’s only because I’m an utter wuss when it comes to watching them. The only way I can make it to the end credits is through barely parted fingers and a close proximity to the pause button on the remote control. However, thankfully, Alfredson’s Swedish film comes complete with English subtitles, so I have the added bonus of focusing my attention on the the bottom eighth of the screen should there be the suggestion that something odd is about to happen. Yes, I know it sounds pathetic and, quite frankly, it is.
I’ve always loved vampire films and the best have always been more than just pointy fangs and bad breath. Alfredson’s film is not just about a blood sucking nipper, it’s also about the ambiguous role of seduction. Is the vampire intentionally leading young Oskar astray, or is it the vampire that’s seduced by Oskar’s innocence?
Whatever, I’m completely hooked. Absolutely fang-tastic.
James Cameron: Guest Editor on MSN Movies
Really pleased with this one. Took a lot of organising, but has been executed brilliantly across MSN this morning. Nice interview considering we had to arm our LA reporter with over forty questions from MSN users around the world – but Cameron looks comfortable enough.

Avatar takes over MSN UK
With Avatar now in cinemas we have a new homepage takeover by Fox studios. I think it’s the best one we’ve had so far. Really slick action – click the MPU or banner, the MSN homepage slides down to reveal a video player where you can watch the trailer in HD. Click other options and the homepage slides to the left so you can dig deeper into text and images. Lovely.
