Recognized as one of the most respected actresses of the modern era, YARELI ARIZMENDI has always been at the forefront of Latin cinema. Strong performances in dramas such as “Like Water for Chocolate” and “A Day Without a Mexican” has garnered adulation from all corners. Not only has YARELI embodied the kind of woman we see everyday so wonderfully, she lives and breaths the art of film-making. If you are making your way to the Dallas International Film Festival, she’s appearing in “Mariachi Gringo”, a tale of finding the passion in music and crossing borders to do it! Since my younger days, having a soft spot for Latin actresses was already inherent in me and it’s an honor to feature Miss YARELI on this very blog. Her versatility on screen has resonated with me and why not? This Mexican-born actress has an ethereal radiance that’s so genuinely divine, it’s a given to be in awe of such a talent.
I’m wishing for the chance to meet her in person and getting her autograph would be priceless. In fact, YARELI has also starred alongside Edward James Olmos in the amazing film “America” whom I also hope to meet one day. One only has to visit the YARELI ARIZMENDI OFFICIAL SITE to be astounded by the multi-faceted characters she has played over the years. Exuding sexiness as well as class, fans around the globe are bound to be captivated by her for many more years to come.
‘Tis the season to display amorous affection towards French actresses and PATRICIA FRANCHINO is a blonde bombshell we should be more than eager to watch. Even my home country of Singapore has got into the act by holding The Societe Generale Private Banking 1st Rendezvous With French Cinema this week from the 8th to 13th December, to be graced by the stunning duo Carole Bouquet and Ludivine Sagnier. You can include PATRICIA in the list of sophisticated, stylish ladies that we have come to know as timeless beauties. It’s a French Revolution of fashionable women we as viewers would crave in a heartbeat and PATRICIA has more than cemented her desirability. One of her latest roles is that of an S&M Dominatrix in the comedy “Ni à vendre ni à louer” aka “Not For Sale, Not For Hire”, teasing our eyes in a skimpy thong as she indulges in sex games with her lover. Her flawless derrière no doubt aids us in forgetting about the Language Barrier as will her effervescent energy onscreen.
Just like her contemporaries, PATRICIA can somehow make plunging necklines cultured without a hint of vulgarity, the casual sensuality of hers is as immaculate as those piercing blue eyes (Check out her reel above). Comfortable in both comedic and dramatic parts, PATRICIA should rapidly become a fascinating figure we’ll come to fancy. While she may be generously buxom, she’s endowed with the cherubic charm of such likable magnitude. This is conspicuously a Belle Époque (i.e. Beautiful Era) when we’re treated to so many delightful starlets from France.
If you’re entertaining thoughts of a Lustful Addiction for RUBY LaRocca just like some Zombie Babies do, you might find her in The Cemetary from a movie scene or two making our Skin Crawl with equal excitement and trepidation. I’ve just named (in bold) some of her riveting features which you must check out if you’re an ardent fan of this Scarlet temptress. Synonymous with the best in sexploitation and kooky horror of the entirely dirty variety, RUBY likens the process of making the aforementioned films (including the nudity) as a fun experience. You might have salivated over that threesome she had with Misty Munday and Darian Cane in “The Seduction of Misty Mundae” or the topless sunbathing in the disturbing Jack Ketchum adaptation “The Lost”, the gorgeous tattoos adorning her body so integral to her sexuality. Her brutal thriller “The Super” is screening at the PollyGrind Film Festival where she plays a tenant incurring the wrath of a wacko neighbor in yet another impactful performance.
At a fest that celebrates grindhouse, exploitation and alternative horror, RUBY is a perfect fit as she’s been at the forefront of the darker side of cinema for quite some time. Erotically charged yet provocative appearances in controversial fare such as “Zombiechrst” and “Face Of Schlock” are likely to push more than a few buttons! Actually red is definitely the color for her and she’s every bit a babe when drenched in blood. Ensure you drop by both the RUBY LaRocca OFFICIAL SITE and the RUBY LaRoccca OFFICIAL BLOG for news on her upcoming blood-curdling projects. What also impresses me is her deep affection for her contemporaries, Debbie Rochon and Tina Krause, both of whom she’s worked with and continually hail. Likewise the tribute she pays to all the RUBY addicts out there who have savored her proving she’s staying grounded even with the successes she’s had. RUBY is one red-hot indie horror princess who has more than proven her worth in front and very soon behind the camera.
As a writer for Fangoria Magazine, LIANNE SPIDERBABY weaves thought-provoking perspectives on a complete spectrum of horror-related topics. One can almost compare her expertly crafted articles to the web that a spider magically spins. Then we come to the ‘Baby’ part of her name which is an unmissable nod to her baby-faced allure. Currently Scream Queen Of The Month for August 2011, she has a supporting role in “TBK: Toolbox Murders 2″, the blood-soaked sequel to its creepily, gory predecessor. She has launched her new series “Fright Bytes” on Youtube, treating us horror devotees to absorbing horror reviews, interviews with the stars and giving us the lowdown on conventions that’s all the rage. Ensure you don’t miss the very first episode ‘Scream 4′ as LIANNE spoofs the opening scene from the original “Scream: made famous by Drew Barrymore. She kept me entertained throughout and goes to show that she is as adept at acting as she is at writing reviews. Notably her critique on the “I Spit On Your Grave” remake evoked strong reaction from readers both supporting her views as well as some pretty nasty personal attacks with her in the crosshairs. Whether she ruffled some feathers or struck a raw nerve with her opinions on the film being a tad discriminatory to the female gender, we should still recognize she did raise compelling points in the well-researched article. Visit the LIANNE SPIDERBABY OFFICIAL SITE and get to know her in depth…in my opinion, she’s awesomely talented!
Fans can look forward to the LIANNE’s very first book “Grindhouse Girls”, detailing the emergence of exploitation actresses and the female movement in genre film from the 70′s/80′s. She’s quickly becoming a champion of female empowerment in cinema and is constantly striving to do even more. LIANNE serves as an inspiration to so many, who like her are doing their bid to promote horror and the performers that elevate the genre to become its highest reach globally.
As an impressionable young boy watching “A Nightmare On Elm Street” for the first time, you latch on to the first images that came your way. They were of blonde teen Amanda Wyss as Tina Gray in her nightdress being stalked by the razor-fingers dream master Freddy Krueger. That ignited my fascination with blondes ever since! Then the focus shifts to cutie Heather Lagenkamp as Nancy Thompson and the memorable bath tub scene that sees Freddy’s sharpened gloves ominously head towards her. That’s when the desire in me to save adorable girls started…hehe. So it’s sensational to see a reunion of this inspirational duo at Days Of The Dead 2011. I won’t be the first nor the last in exalting the influence Heather and Amanda has given the horror world and they remain such endearingly awe-inspiring figures.
Since bursting onto the scene as one-third of “The Human Centipede”, Ashley C. Williams has enjoyed a meteoric rise that’s seen her attain cult-like devotion. She may have been the middle part of that monstrosity but her cringe-worthy performance caught the attention of a worldwide audience and launched her to epic heights. Now headlining the survival horror feature “Empty”, Ashley gets into the skin of another disturbing role set during a gas crisis. Ashley stars as Piper who faces the moment of truth in a dire situation; Will she survive in an unknown landscape under severe duress? Raved for her singing in Spellbound- A Musical Adventure, her dynamism extends beyond the screen. It’s no wonder we are hypnotized by Ashley’s intense beauty, rousing aura and down-to-earth nature.
Camille Keaton probably has an endless line of admirers seeing how she is revered as a horror fan’s wet dream and will remain an object of affection for years to come. A popular cult figure, she continues to enchant us with her vibrant personality and irrefutably a sought after actress at numerous horror conventions. Camille returns to cinema in “Sella Turcica” as a mom whose zombiefied son returns from the war right before the suspense and gore begins. Watch her in the clip (above) as the mysterious allure Camille has in abundance is why we endlessly loving her work. In addition to that role, she’s in the upcoming thriller “The Butterfly Room”. Camille left an indelible mark in exploitation horror with “I Spit On Your Grave” and it’s her passion for entertaining that has made her an icon.
With the leading lady role of Elizabeth in “Frankenstein: Day Of The Beast”, the re-imagining of the beloved monster classic, fast rising indie horror starlet Michelle Shields is set to be the intriguing girl to watch. Gone are the days of damsels in distress, as more and more we see stronger interpretations onscreen highlighting the emergence of a meatier, more dramatic female presence in horror. Michelle is easily one of the sexiest emerging talents in the genre and she’s not just dazzling the independent scene, having been a core member of Comic Book Divas as a series of colorful characters. Here’s a versatile actress who is not restricting herself, dabbling in sci-fi as well as comedy in her upcoming features. Fans can look forward to more delightful surprises from this busty brunette.
Yup she’s a pornstar who took a hiatus but returned to reinvent herself as a B-movie actress as well as sizzling the MILF genre which has taken the adult industry by storm. Best remembered in the dream sequence for vigorously humping Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) in violent serial killer thriller “The Devils Rejects”, Ginger Lynn Allen is the epitome of cougar-liciousness. Metallica even featured her in their video “Turn the Page” where she portrayed an aging stripper struggling to raise her child. The invasion of adult film stars into the mainstream is now commonplace with degrees of success. She was notoriously known as the one-time paramour of ‘Mr Tiger Blood’ Charlie Sheen but as you can see, Ginger is still doing her saucy thing.
We’ve seen Courtney Cox play up the predatory older woman with a thing for young meat in “Cougar Town” but if you want a more realistic version of mummy desire, catch KAREN BRAMEN in “Northside Cougars”, an entry for last year’s 48hr film festival. This year alone Helen Mirren was quite the sensual figure as a Brothel Madam sleeping with a man half her age in “Love Ranch” and Sigourney Weaver showed she still has lots of sex appeal when she rode her younger lover on the bed in “Cedar Rapids”. It’s great to see older women/younger men pairings on film since I wasn’t around when “The Graduate” took the world by storm….don’t get me started on the MILF Revolution sparked by “American Pie”…hehe. And I recently caught an episode of “Bones” where they were flaunting the Cougar Cruise…interesting stuff!! I myself am partial to mature actresses and KAREN has that sexy ebullience that male fans of any adult-going age will find attractive….Hence this tribute that’s also a belated birthday present for the affable and lovely KAREN…she celebrated hers only two days ago…:) Her assured performance in “Northside Cougars” has a surprising dark twist to it, having them young men all tied up and at the mercy of her Main Cougar character. However, Karen reserved her best for “Journey To Promethea” as a blind soothsayer even outshining Billy Zane, his hilariously campy take as a medieval king.
While viewers were somewhat critical of sword and sandals fantasy “Journey To Promethea”, KAREN’s fortune teller role was described as one of the film’s saving grace according to an online reviewer. She also has a supporting role in “Terror On The Bayou” and you can clearly make out that it’s her providing narration in the trailer. Besides the Aussie accent, I find that Southern accents so fascinating and New Orleans, Louisiana where Karen hails from is a dream destination of mine….Hope I get to meet the fabulous Karen someday. Let’s shower some love on KAREN BRAMEN and the classy women of Independent Cinema.
Many are calling STACEY DIXON a triple threat of seductive allure as an actress, model and make-up artist. She’s been living up to the tag by spicing up the horror genre as a Scream Queen in numerous movies. Three of them are screening at THE FIRST ANNUAL NASHVILLE INDEPENDENT HORROR FILM FESTIVAL from May 13th to 15th 2011 as part of The Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival now in its 10th Edition. Without a doubt fans will be thronging down to Nebraska to catch her in films ranging from the psychological thrills of “Old Habits Die Hard” to the campiness of “Thong Girl 4: The Body Electric” as well as the creepy supernaturalism of “Shudder”. She’s also set to electrify proceedings as the convention’s immensely foxy co-host and it was STACEY herself who suggested that a film festival be included to recognize the finest in independent horror. Her enthusiasm for her craft and the love she shows for her peers is endearing, that is if you’re not already drooling over her Busty Centerfold Sex Appeal. Just as active away from the lens, STACEY has been thriving as a producer and also recognized as a tattoo artist. Will there be a booth for STACEY to work her body art magic i wonder?? In the meantime, if you’re rapidly turning into a fan, it’s essential to pay a visit to the STACEY DIXON OFFICIAL SITE.
“Dead Girls Don’t Cry”, her upcoming feature has some demented subject matter dealing with sex slavery, incest, electric shock therapy and even midgets. Touted as a new wave in exploitation cinema, this could be STACEY’s most disturbing role to date! Webheads would have also seen bikini-clad Stacey in the trailer of slasher “The Lashman” together with the equally sexy Kaylee Williams. With each enthralling movie role, STACEY is showing everyone why she’s growing as a Sex Symbol and one of the hottest rising starlets of modern horror.
Filmitalia.org is a website promoting Italian movies worldwide and as for me, I spotlight actresses from Europe and sexy Italian actresss ROSA PANIETA will be today’s featured talent. Sophia Loren, Monica Bellucci, Violante Placido….these are names that define what it is to be an Italian Sex Symbol and now you can add the voluptuous ROSA PANIETA to this esteemed list! Just looking at the photos (above) of this buxom starlet and you know she has the requisite Sex Appeal. The Italian goddess is appearing in THE RITE’ alongside the venerable Sir Anthony Hopkins, the horror flick that has its roots in ‘THE EXORCIST’ yet delivers its own brand of shock value. This time it’s the man of the cloth who is unknowingly possessed by the devil and needs an exorcism…..how ironic. She’s also in the erotic coming-of-age drama ‘Eighteen – The world at my feet’ that entails a youth who trawls for the warmth of older women and tries to satisfy his unfulfilled void. Oh how i wish i could find an English trailer but the R-rated trailer (above) is pretty steamy and unquestionably tempts us to find out more..:)
I hope ROSA does more English movies as she has a piercing sexiness that’s so intense. If Tilda Swinton can crossover into Italian Cinema as she so successfully did in ‘Io sono l’amore ( I Am Love )’, I believe ROSA would be just as prosperous…:) ROSA PANIETA is an actress that would make most men weak at the knees and have you wrapped around her pretty delicate fingers….:)
