Oh God…

Imagine: you and your two friends have been kidnapped by a religious cult, hell-bent on extracting their own brand of bloody atonement on you. A scenario made real by Kevin Smith in Red State, out on DVD and Blu-Ray™ 23 January 2012 – an explosive, edge of your seat action-horror film about three horny friends whose plans for a foursome go awry when they’re kidnapped by the infamous Five Point Church. Red State is fast-paced, as the remorseless and evil fundamentalists show their barbaric and savage nature, sickeningly redefining the definition of disturbing.

With more and more people using the web as a way to connect with others over their passion for cinema, here are five top reasons to tweet while watching a movie (but obviously only when at home and not in theatres!):

The 10 Most Believable Movie Bullies

Here's one…

Regina George in Mean Girls

Boys may use physical bullying more than girls do, but there is no greater hell than the one that can be created by mean teenage girls. Regina George is beautiful and always gets her way, and yet still feels the need to bad-mouth every girl in her high school. She even starts rumors about former friends, like her middle-school best friend, Janis, whom Regina labeled as a lesbian. Most girls know, whether popular or not, that high school is a minefield for girls as they try to win over boys and pretty friends, often at the expense of other girls. Regina might be the Queen Bee and ultimate bully of the school, but the movie, available through Comcast also shows how girls within the same group of friends tend to torture each other.

The rest are here.
