Crime Zone



Crime Zone - in which the class system is taken deadly seriously, but one cute guy has the courage to stand and do some crime.Okay, so, in the dystopian future, there is a strict class system, and some vague sort of points system, and men who work shitty jobs can be promoted to a higher level in society based on their performance at work. There are also women who work as prostitutes, and not really anywhere else (a few pervert cops), so I think this is all they can do in the future. And the society appears to be a closed municipality, but there is talk of another, better place. So, the main guy is a normal, white guy, level 0, or 0.5, and he works at a cryogenic freezing lab, where the service is purchased by wealthy, older folks, and they freeze themselves with their valuables. They are not in Fry tubes, they are like, hanging around like dry cleaning. So, Guy meets a nice prostitute woman while his gang-friends are maybe working up to raping her, because she is beating them at billiards. They fall in love! So, then they are approached by David Carradine, who offers them enough money to leave town, if they commit a robbery for him. Light crime, no homicide - seems easy enough.
      But no, they are caught red-handed, because Carradine set them up! Turns out, he is the police chief, and there is not enough crime to justify his team, I guess. Even though everything looks really shitty. Plus, this isn't even a surprise, as it was in the synopsis on the back of the box. Whatever. So, Carradine lets the two get away, they sneak onto a helicopter with their older friend, who used to be in the military. They get away, to this other city, that is supposed to be better, but when they get there, David Carradine is also the police chief there, and the city is empty and destroyed, and he's like, well, good luck, I told you it wasn't worth the trip. And then he just leaves them there. That's the ending.

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 ...
