Fanged Foes: Colin Farrell vs. Robert Pattinson

Remember when movie vampires were scary, bloodthirsty killers? Nope? Thanks to "Twilight," neither do I. Or should I say neither did I -- until I recently saw DreamWorks/Disney's remake of "Fright Night."

Toni Collette ("The Sixth Sense"), David Tennant (TV's "Dr. Who"), and Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell ("In Bruges") as vampire Jerry Dandridge, "Fright Night" returns the genre to its roots: horror, not high school. While the PG-13-rated "Twilight" franchise has found a massive following (primarily teenage girls) by focusing on a silly love triangle, unnecessarily shirtless werewolves, and vegetarian vampires (lame!), "Fright Night" is aiming to please the real fang fanatics out there who are looking for a violent, R-rated romp that delivers actual chills ... and an actual villain.

The "Twilight" baddies are a coven of vampires known as the Volturi. And truth be told, they aren't that terrifying. Neither is Robert Pattinson (aka sparkly vampire Edward Cullen), who spends the majority of his time brooding and posing with his signature coif. Well, move over, RPattz, because Colin Farrell's Jerry is the real deal. Like Edward, Jerry has pale skin and black eyes, but that's where the similarities end. Jerry is mean, manly, sexy, sleazy, and surprisingly funny. Most importantly, he's a killer -- what every movie vampire should be!

By no means am I trying to upset you "Twilight" fans. Own it, love it. I just happen to like my vampire movies to have some scares and a whole lot of blood.

Feel free to disagree with me, but only after you check out "Fright Night," which opens nationwide on Friday, August 19.[omg.yahoo.com]

Rob Pattinson: I "Ruined" the Bed During Breaking Dawn Sex Scene


Kristen Stewart's favorite moment in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 was the wedding scene between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Her real-life beau, on the other hand, says he preferred the bed-breaking sex scene during their honeymoon.

"I wanted to have it as a line so much: 'I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One.' And then he'd start crying," Robert Pattinson, 25, says in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. "By the way, that's what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! I ruined this bed!"

Still, 21-year-old Stewart insists that their characters' honeymoon scene pales in comparison to the long-awaited union between Bella and Edward.

"It's a trip to watch the wedding scenes, especially," she says. "It was so volatile and emotional -- I was being such a crazy person."

The couple's costar Boo Boo Stewart recently spoke to Us Weekly about Bella and Edward's nuptials, saying that "[Billy Burke] made that scene really great because he had to walk [Stewart] down the aisle, and I think he really did a great job."

"It was weird," Boo Boo, 17, added. "I was sitting there and I was like, 'This is actually really touching.'"[omg.yahoo.com]
