Deranged

Deranged - in which the true, boring story of Ed Gein is told through the use of 70's era low-budget horror techniques and mediocre acting. Apparently, the movie has an alternate title, or, a subtitle of Confessions of a Necrophile. Gross. So, the main character is Ezra Cobb, AKA Ed Gein, and he is played by the snow-shovel killer neighbor from Home Alone. There are no children is this movie. So, the worst parts are when Ed is in some weird, carpeted club, talking to waitresses (who you murder when you can't find a prostitute!), and ordering drinks it doesn't look like he can afford. So, he brings home that one girl to murder by "acting natural" and convincing her to go against her instincts and protestations and enter his creepy home. Surprise! His mother's corpse is there, he dug her up because he missed her after her funeral. Bam! Kills her with blunt force trauma. It is only a surprise to her, not to the audience in any way. Soooo, he's got cereal bowls made out of human skulls, and then he kills another girl at some point, using much of the same methods. It takes forever, and all he wants to do is chop them up and replace decaying parts of his mother with parts of women he is definitely sexually  attracted to. Everything in this movie is gross. It even smells gross. Finally, the uncomfortable movie rolls some credits I think it already showed us, and we are left to try to think of a decent segue to having normal conversations or sexual relations, meanwhile not admitting any wrong doing about putting Deranged on in the first place. It's fine, I have a lot of other things to talk about.

PS. There is a narrator.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider - in which Nic Cage plays Johnny Blaze and some rando plays Ghost Rider and Eva Mendez fails all women. To start, some teenagers play Johnny Blaze and Roxanne as a couple in love, but Johnny Blaze can't commit to her because he feels like carny trash, and his dad has cancer. So, when Johnny finds out about his dad's cancer, he gets real upset, and is therefore vulnerable when approached by a Devil, and gladly exchanges his soul for his father's health. Joke's on him, because the Devil is a jerk and as soon as the cancer is gone, Papa Blaze breaks his neck, I guess, or he is mangled by a ring of fire. Its hard to say. Sad, though. Okay, so thirty years go by before Mr. Devil cashes in his Johnny Blaze favor, but in a chilling and tragic coincidence, he does it on the ONE NIGHT Blaze has a date to reconcile with Roxanne, whom he has run into as an adult. While Blaze turns into Ghost Rider and it looks terrible, poor Roxanne (Eva Mendes) is left stood up at...

The Crush

The Crush - in which Cary Elwes makes out with a teenage girl in 1993, and it wasn't me. Alicia Silverstone is amazing and charming. She plays Adrian, a teenage girl with very rich parents, one friend, and a tenuous grasp on reality. The protagonist is supposed to be this author, played by Cary Elwes, but dude's a creep, so he's the villain to me. Reframed: this guy moves into Adrien's parents'  carriage house, in the back yard, and I guess she's not used to it being rented out, because she keeps going in there. Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
