Salem's Lot



Salem's Lot - in which a large house in New England is creepy, and it freaks out this blonde guy so much, he makes a big deal about it to everyone. Omg, so, this whole, tiny town is creepy, and this one house is having a vampire delivered to it in the second hour of the movie, so, there's that to look forward to. Oh, good. I guess the first hour consists of scenes where people get acquainted cheating on their spouses. The protaganist, blonde author guy, keeps whining about how the house at the top of the hill is creepy. We know. That's where the vampire is being delivered. Also, there is a high school student who is also an amateur magician, but he is also trying to kill the vampire, once he gets there. There is a girl who is always following the author around, but she doesn't do much. Lives with her parents. Follows kids around, walks into evil houses without weapons.
    So, cool ass looking vampire shows up and starts to eat the whole town, turning adults and children into vampires along the way, so the exsanguination is exponential.  But the blonde author wants to stop him. So, he breaks into the house to slay vampire in his sleep, but the awesome kid has already beaten him to it, and is fighting the old guy antiques dealer ghoul when Blondie gets there. They defeat the bad guy, but have to go on the run, in South America, which they showed us at the beginning, but it was sooooo long ago, and we didn't have any idea what we were looking at because it didn't connect to anything in the first two and a half hours of the film. Mini-series. Whatever. The lady who got turned into a vampire has tracked them down, but Blondie slays her, too. I assume they stay off the grid, hunting vampires and using glowing holy water to do it. So. Boring.

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,...

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...

Arrival

Arrival - in which aliens come by the earth to make some new friends, and it goes okay. First, some scary ships have descended on Earth, and there's a bunch of them, like 30, and they just look like hovering rocks. The militaries of the world are cooperating with each other, except the jerks like N. Korea and Russia, and the other new axis guys. So, the plot happens when Forest Whitaker comes to find Amy Adams in the college where she works, this is while the alien invasion is new, and she is convinced to go help communicate with the aliens. She gets there and makes friends with physicist Jeremy Renner, and they work together to decipher the inky messages the squid-aliens transmit. The messages are all visual. They work on this together for months, hanging out in the ship with the aliens, struggling to communicate. Amy Adams starts having visions, or dreams, of the future, where she has a daughter, who dies of cancer, and she knew her daughter would have cancer and die, but she ...
