What Are the Top 50 Horror DVDs of 2008?
Filed under: Horror, DVD Reviews, Home Entertainment, Lists
Scott Weinberg and I are the Cinematical night owls. You're probably reading this at a very sensible time of the day, enjoying something called "sunshine" and a "blue sky," and we're probably sleeping. That's how dedicated the folks at Cinematical are -- we work around the clock!I tell you this because you might be wondering why one Cinematical writer is posting about another. That's because Mr. Weinberg likes to shyly send me links to prove he never actually does sleep, and instead works 24/7 watching, reviewing, and compiling the best and worst in horror films all year long. He's gone and done it again over at GreenCine, compiling the Top 50 Horror DVDs of 2008. I've seen maybe three of these, because I actually do require sleep.
So heck -- I decided to be the Pepper Potts to his Tony Stark and write up a little something, since he was too modest to do it himself. Plus, the real reason Weinberg sent me the link was to show me GreenCine, which I'm itching to explore further. This place is like an indie-Netflix, with the added benefit of being able to access a community of lists, reviews, and recommendations. You can rent, download, and buy movies here -- it's going to be a lot of fun to watch this place grow. Between this and Netflix, movie fans may be leaving their houses less and less. I know you and I will -- we've got to beat Weinberg at his own movie watching game!

I'm growing more and more tired of this site. It used to be one of the best movie blogs but lately it's grown more and more horrid. I, personally, come here for the movie news and not for all the personal crap. Truth be told most of the writers here have shown no actual film knowledge and lists like that show how horrible your personal tastes are. I don't really care what you think about the next blockbuster crapfest that is being released I just want the information you have on it compiled. You guys should have all of your own personal blogs for this other crap. Interviews are great and so are exclusives but reviews coming from people who have no actual knowledge are pointless to read. This site has slowly lost it's point. Now it's no better than Screenhead....
