The 70 Hottest Babes of 2015, pt. 3: 50-41

50. Shantel VanSanten (new)- Love interests for title characters in the DC TV universe, usually suck. So, thank the TV comic gods for the beautiful VanSanten's Patty Spivot on The Flash. Not only is fucking gorgeous, but her character is spunky and likable. It adds to her cuteness and overall charm. Never is she annoying, stupid, or whiny. Which is more than I can say for The Flash (or should I say his secret identity, Barry Allen)'s former love interest, Iris or Felicity and Laurel for the Arrow.




49. Felicia Day (new)- The lovely Ms. Day played one of the best, if not, in fact, THE best female characters ever on Supernatural in the form of lesbian geek Charlie. So, it was heartbreaking when her character got brutally killed last season. Day, though, released a highly entertaining autobiography this year in the form of You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost). I have been reading and loving it, since I met and bought it off of her at NYCC, back in Oct. In person, she is so sweet and even more cute. The later of which is pretty hard to believe, but trust me it is the truth!

48. Danielle Panabaker (last year #44)- The former horror actress turned The Flash cast member continues to break geek hearts. She is so likable, adorable and, of course, beautiful as Caitlin Snow! Plus, she finally has a new love interest, which only makes her character come off as even more cute on the show.







47. Elizabeth Olsen (new)- The hottest and most talented, in my humble opinion, Olsen sister, Elizabeth really hit it big and looked hot as fuck (red hair looks KILLER on her) as the Scarlet Witch in this summer's blockbuster superhero flick The Avengers: Age of Ultron.







46. Ashley Greene (last year ranked 2012 #59)- After a three year hiatus the gorgeous Ms. Greene returns to our list thanks to her role as bitchy but beautiful zombie Evelyn. She looked incredible as a blonde in it (but then it is impossible for her to not look amazing) it it. So, I was crushing hard watching in the movie (she really gives a fun and lively performance in it, by the way), that I thought, hmm, maybe I could look over the whole being a bitch and flesh eating zombie thing, if I was the dude in the movie... 

  

45. Olivia Wilde (new)- While The Lazarus Effect was not a particularly good movie, the absolutely stunning Ms. Wilde shined as the scientist turned psychic member of the living dead (by the way between Rose McIver in iZombie, the aforementioned Greene, and, now Wilde this is the year of the hottie zombie it seems, especially on this list!). Seriously, she is one of THE main reasons to watch that movie. She also drips with outright sexiness from every single pour on her amazing body!




44. Aly Michalka (new)- Speaking of hot zombie babes, Aly is the former roomate and bestie to Liv, the lead character in iZombie. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was to see her sexy ass return this season, after her character had left last season. She is freaking gorgeous and just awesome in her role. Seriously, I am wildly in love with this woman! Those eyes! Those lips! That bod! Couple with her talent, Michalka just fucking rocks!





43. Ela Darling (new)- One of my favorite interviews that I conducted, not just at the Adult Entertainment Expo, but all year came courtesy of the beautiful Ela Darling. Ela is incredibly intelligent on top of being naturally beautiful. She is also a very devoted geek girl, which makes talking to her an absolute pleasure. Always busy and always awesome, Ela fucking rules!





42. Scarlett Johansson (last year 67)- She kicked ass and hooked up with the Hulk in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, all while being pregnant, in real life. OK, so it was CGI and she was mostly just a floating head onscreen, but it's Scarlett fucking Johansson for the crissakes! Anyways, I really liked her new Black Widow look on top of everything else.






41. Kendra Sunderland (new)- Best known as the Oregon State Library Girl, this tall and beautiful blonde caused quite a stir when she went nude and naughty in a that college library. She quickly caught the eye and attention of many making her a fast rising it girl in the world of adult entertainment. Naturally sexy and beautiful, Kendra is also a very smart and friendly young lady as proven to me when I met and interviewed her at Exxxotica NJ last month. You guys will see what I mean when I post it soon!

The Lazarus Effect

Title: The LazarusEffect
Director: David Gelb
Writers: Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater
Cast: Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Bolger, Evan Peters, Donald Glover, Ray Wise
Year: 2015
Min: 83

Medical researchers Frank (Mark Duplass) and his fiance Zoe (Olivia Wilde) have come up with a serum, dubbed the Lazarus, to help coma patients. Turns out it can reanimate the dead, though! So, they along with their research team bring back a dog from the dead. But, it seems to have some weird, and not very good, reaction on his doggy brain. In the meantime, the university learns of their decidedly unethical little study and shut them down. Frank is determined to proceed, so they break into their closed, to them, lab. But, Zoe gets accidentally electrocuted during an experiment and dies. He decides that they must use the serum on her. She comes back, but now has psychic powers and is evil. She soon dispatches of them one by one.

The overall idea presented here, in particular that of the whole hot zombie chick with scanners like powers, is actually a good one. Still a good chunk of the film is wholly unoriginal. But, even taking that into account, there was potential for it to go somewhere really cool. It is disappointing then that much of The Lazarus Effect is so flatly directed by David Gelb, as he really doesn't know how to make this a scary or suspenseful film. There are a few scenes that hint at greater talent like when the show when Zoe is resurrected for example which is very creepy. But, most of the scenes simply aren't that good, as is the case with an earlier scene involving the zombie dog. In it, he jumps on the bed where Zoe is sleeping but there's nothing so much as even barely scary about this.

It is also hampered by it's rating. There are moments of violence cut short to keep the PG-13 rating. Honestly going a little crazy with the gore would have added to the fun of it. As it is, you get some decent kills, like a Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II inspired scene involving a character getting crushed in a locker. That and other scenes like it could have been so much more, though, had they not cut away.

To it's advantage it's really helped by a great cast. Everyone is really good in their roles. Duplass is fine as the male lead and is supported nicely by everyone else. Olivia Wilde is particularly enjoyable in her part. She is a likable character and is really fun when she turns evil. There is a wonderfully silly but cool, in a tongue in cheek sort of way, scene where she winks after killing someone. It looks like she had fun in her role, and she at least keeps the movie lively. Problem is as the story progresses she ultimately over shadows the other characters, and I kinda cheered her on. It also doesn't help that much of the time, I kept thinking to myself, "Would be OK, if I boned this zombie chick?"

Honestly, I expected a lot worse from The Lazarus Effect. But, while I would never say that this movie is good, I can't say that I fully hate it. It could have been so much better though. Call it a missed opportunity. It just hit Netflix, and well, you could do a lot worse than this one. You could, quite frankly also do better. This Blumhouse flick (the third from the company I have reviewed this year!) is worth a look if you are extremely curious about it, have NOTHING else to watch, and/ or, like me, LOVE Olivia Wilde. Just be sure to keep you expectations really fucking low.

** out of ****
