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.

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...

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...

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...
