Fright Night



Fright Night - in which a teenage boy is the only one who has the good sense to identify and fear the new vampire in town, and his friends make fun of him. So, Charlie has this nice girlfriend named Amy, and they are hanging out when Charlie glances out the window and sees his new, handsome neighbor biting the beautiful prostitute he had invited over. He doesn't really freak out until the next day, when he see's the vampire's goul-servant taking out the body the next day. Charlie watches a lot of horror movies, so he's got some info, but his friend, Evil Ed, has the real down low, so he goes to him for advice. Evil Ed makes fun of Charlie, but gives him some solid info. However, by the time Charlie gets home - his mom has invited the VAMPIRE, Jerry, inside. Jerry threatens Charlie and his mom, and Charlie decides to get real, and he hunts down his local horror movie host, Peter Vincent, and tries to enlist his help. Peter Vincent does not believe Charlie, of course, because no one believes in vampires anymore, except that town in Africa that's hunting them, en mass. However, Charlie is driving Amy and Evil insane, so they offer to pay Peter Vincent to investigate Jerry the Vampire, and he agrees. Of course, Jerry is really a vampire, and Peter Vincent accidentally figures it out with a mirror, and everyone panicks, but that tips Jerry off, and so he kidnaps Amy from a dance club, with Charlie in hot pursuit. Evil Ed gets bitten and changed, and he goes after Charlie, and poor Charlie has to kill his friend and its disgusting. So, Jerry has Amy locked away, and he definitely fingers her, and Charlie and Peter break in and fight Jerry for Amy. Jerry turns into a bat, and Amy has grown long hair with magic. They defeat Jerry and save Amy, and the neighborhood is safe!

Event Horizon

Event Horizon - in which sci fi space body horror gets very fucking real, and totally gross. First, Lawrence Fishburne is a space captain named Miller, and his first mate is Joely Richardson, and she rocks. Her accent is real. A bunch of space sailors are escorting science genius Sam Neill to the wreckage of a space ship. It wasn't just a space ship, it was a massive black hole generating machine, and it recently re-emerged around Neptune, and now its just orbiting, being spooky af. To give all the details, Sam Neill, AKA Dr. Weir, is having creepy dreams about his dead wife in his cryo/gravi-sleep pod before they even get to the abandoned wreck. Oh, its called the Event Horizon. So, once the crew rolls up on Event Horizon they get nervous, because its creepy, and a few people go out to investigate the empty ship. Miller orders Dr. Weir to stay aboard their vessel, and he doesn't do a good job of listening. As soon as the crew splits up, one young guy gets sucked into the g

The Abyss

The Abyss - in which James Cameron writes a love letter to the ocean, and the ocean answers, "Here are some aliens." Ed Harris plays a scientist who is happy to be in an underwater Sea Lab (cue theme song) even though his mean wife comes to visit and be a cold bitch to him. A plot happens, but its been weeks, so I forget what it was. Ed Harris is bull headed, and only his wife can get through to him. The crew is enjoyable. Oh! Michael Bean shows up after an oil rig problem and gets pressure sickness and tries to kill everyone. In an effort to escape and save everyone, Ed Harris gets his swimmer craft stuck in a chasm, but some nice aliens lift him out in a spectacular light show of kindness. The aliens invade the SeaLab as water/people and try to be nice, with moderate success.A few people die, but most live. Good movie, watch again.

Death Wish

Death Wish (1974) - in which the justice system fails a man who lost his family, and he goes off the rails in finding personal justice. I mean vengeance. Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a husband and father and architect, who has a nice NYC life. One day, near the beginning of the movie, Paul's wife is murdered and his daughter is raped into a catatonic state, from which she will not likely recover. Sexist. Anyways, Paul is destroyed, so his boss sends him out to New Mexico, or another lawless state, for a 3 month long project. Paul does some recovering while he is out there, and is befriended by his big money client, with a big hat and big guns. Upon arriving back in NYC, Paul is disheartened to find his daughter in terrible condition, and his son-in-law coping poorly. There have also been no arrests in his wife's murder, as the police are very busy with a crime spree related to gang violence. Paul is a really sympathetic guy, and his pain is visible, and very real. So,
