It Comes At Night

It Comes At Night - in which a small family is trying to survive after the apocalypse, and it is hard to make friends. Okay, first of all, really scary. The husband and wife have a son, and there used to be a grandfather the son could hang out with, but he got sick and died and had to be burned. Horribly and sadly. So, they've got a nice, fortified compound, but it gets broken into one night by some guy. The husband ties the guy up to see if he's sick, and he isn't, so upon interrogation the guy reveals that he has a wife and child a few miles away, and they are out of water, but they have livestock to trade. He also says a few suspicious things, but we let that slide because he does seem sincere on some other points. So, the two men go to retrieve the wife and child, leaving the wife and teenage son Travis at home with the dog. The husbands get ambushed by guys with guns, and the guy hesitates to shoot one of their attackers and then hesitates when asked if he knew them. That's when I would have shot him. But, being nicer than me, the husband goes and gets this guy's family and they all start to live together and everything is not so horrible for a while. Then, while Travis and his dad are out foraging, the dog runs away to attack something, and comes home a few days later really sick. It is so sad. Travis is devastated, as am I. Okay, then things continue to deteriorate from there, and the little boy opens the quarantine door by accident/sleepwalking, and Travis helps him back to bed before he realizes the entire story, so the main character of the movie gets sick as well. Like, every night Travis has been having these slow and nauseating nightmares, and sometimes he gets sick in them, and its terrifying. So, the guy and his wife and child try to leave, but they're definitely gonna come back when they need stuff, so there is a fight and the sick child gets shot, but only the mom is really upset about it, because I am mad at him for getting Travis sick, and he was kinda dead already. Then Travis dies, and I guess he gets to see his Grandpa and dog again in heaven, which will be nice. They don't show any of that.

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...
