Zombieland



Zombieland - in which four survivors learn some lessons about love and family from each other, and Bill Murray. First, there are a bunch of rules to learn about the new world, and some nerd, played by Michael Cera, tells us about them. This is where the majority of zombie footage happens, as the movie takes place in low-zombie zones and on the road. Anyways, he hooks up with Woody Harrelson, and they make some progress across the country until they are tricked out of their weapons and vehicle by two girls. Twice. Then, they make friends with the girls because one of them is hot, and the girls think they can trust the guys, because they can. These both turn out to be good decisions. They get to LA, and crash at Casa de Murray for a few nights, but Bill Murray pretends to be a zombie inside the house, like an idiot, and gets shot. So, then the girls dip out, and they are going to a stupid amusement park, and the guys go after them because its the right thing to do, and they love them. The girls have turned on all the lights in the park, and attracted every zombie in the state, but the guys save them, and Woody gets his Twinkie. And they all lived happily ever after.

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,
