Wonderful as Doctor Who always is, some villains are campy, while others - cool though they may be - are not really scary (sorry, Daleks). Then again, some of the monsters the Doctor has faced are downright terrifying. In honor of Doctor Who returning to the airwaves tonight, this list is dedicated to the villains who have genuinely creeped me out. This list encompasses only the revival series (

When it comes to computer-animated films, Pixar Animation Studios has dominated for over 15 years. Few others can match the quality of films like Toy Story and Up. But with 20th Century Fox’s Rio currently ruling the box office, and the Weinstein's Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil on the way, Pixar has not cornered the CG animation market completely. Here is a run-down of some of the best non-Pixar

Film: Bridesmaids (2011) Dir: Paul Feig Rating: **** out of 5 The raucous, vulgar comedies of late (Superbad, The Hangover, etc.) have been a male-dominated subgenre – until now. Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids transcends the common chick flick and proves that women can play down and dirty too when it comes to comedy. Rounding up some of the funniest ladies out there right now, the film provides

The following are my favorite foreign films from this past year. I am aware that some of these had their original overseas release in 2008 or 2009, but I am basing my list on those that landed Stateside in 2010.

Here are my picks for the best films of 2010. Feel free to comment and discuss, but keep in mind I really liked all of these films and ordering them was incredibly difficult. So please don’t nit-pick the order too much, as some of it is fairly arbitrary. Also, this list focuses on the domestic releases that will be more familiar to most people. Another list of foreign films is soon to follow.15.

Here are my top 10 mainstream movie trailers from 2010:10. A-Team (trailer #2)Okay, admittedly, this was a guilty pleasure for me. I was excited at the prospect of seeing Sharlto Copley as Murdock, but this trailer got me interested in everything else. It looks over-the-top and fun, just like the tv show upon which it is based. Regardless of what you may think of the film itself, this trailer was

Film: The Descent Part 2Dir: Jon HarrisRating: *** out of 5 starsNeil Marshall’s The Descent was a lesson in pure terror, utilizing elements such as darkness, claustrophobia, and even the deep secrets that come back to haunt us. This sub-par sequel, helmed by first-time director Jon Harris, rehashes the first film rather than paving its own way. Much like Aliens was a cheaper copycat of its

Film: 127 Hours (2010)Dir: Danny BoyleRating: **** out of 5 starsBased on the true survival story of Aron Ralston, 127 Hours is a riveting, emotional film, just as we have come to expect from Danny Boyle. Based on Ralston’s aptly-named book, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", the film tells the story not just of a near-death experience, but of a life-altering experience to which any regular

Film: Red Hill (2010)Dir: Patrick HughesRating: **** out of 5 starsThe western film is a genre rarely seen anymore. Gone are the days of John Wayne and duels at high noon. This decline is probably due to audiences' general lack of interest in period pieces. But Westerns do not necessarily have to take place in the Old West. A film need only encompass the themes of a western to fit the genre,
