The last few weeks have been emotionally exhausting and utterly surreal for me, and visiting with some of my favorite movies for advice has been a big help in moving forward. Of course this isn’t the same as talking with a good friend or crying into a whole box of Dunkin Donuts Munchkins (with sprinkles!), but sometimes the stories unfolding on screen just make you feel better in a way talking and eating just can’t. All my time watching movies has taught me if a heartbroken soul can get through it, head held high and sane, so can I. But where do we draw the line between real and too real when it comes to romance and sex in film? Sex complicates, but does it also have to destroy the lives involved? In Cruel Intentions, sex is used as a key element in an emotionally manipulative game between Kathryn and Sebastian, whereas in Y Tu Mama Tambien sex leaves best friends confused about their future, and in Blue Valentine sex brings upon the end of a relationship representing so many couples before and after. In each of these films, the act itself is both poignant and flawed, and no one walks away uninjured.

If you’re going to Hell or just to see “Hellboy,” toss one of these kicking red drinks into your handbag.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find adjectives that will describe the level of badass that Hellboy II: The Golden Army could achieve.

Here is something you don’t see every day — a big, beautiful, badass movie trailer from the grandmaster of monsters himself, Guillermo Del Toro. After seeing this trailer you will probably agree that Hellboy II: The Golden Army should be much higher on your list of big summer movies than expected.

In anticipation of the forthcoming second trailer for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Universal has unleashed a batch of new photos from the film to keep all the Hellboy fanatics fed. Our question: how many Hellboy fanatics are there, really?

Universal Studios has released some new artwork featuring one of the fine-ass, sex-o-licious stars of next summer’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The sex-o-licious star in question? It ain’t Ron Perlman.
