Insidious 2



INSIDIOUS Chapter 2 - in which one of the best sequels ever lets a ghost be a main character. So, Patrick is stuck in the Beyond, and he sticks around to haunt his family, with love, while the mean lady ghost walks around in his body, progressively decaying. Elise's nerds miss her, and look for signs that she's still around, and they find some! Ghost Elise is hanging out to hook up  with Spirit Patrick to solve the mystery and get that mean lady out of his body. Turns out, the mean lady is actually a Norman Bates style dude, dressed up as his mother. The ghost of the fucked up mother traps an extra psychic and Rose in her old house, while the ghost of Norman Bates is running around in Patrick's body, getting ready to murder everyone. Oh, while he was alive the first time, he was a serial killer, and they find allllllllll the bodies. Wtf. So, the nerds and the new psychic come up with a crappy plan to take out Possessed Patrick, but it fails, and then everyone is in serious danger, as he goes Jack Torrence on the basement door. His awesome son, Dalton, tells him mom that he can go find his dad in the Beyond, and they'll be right back, and he slips into a trance and goes to find his dad. Elise is helping them, as a ghost, and they get back to their bodies, and the ghost monsters are defeated! It is very scary.

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...

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...
