INSIDIOUS



Insidious - in which Patrick Wilson is not playing Ed Warren, and I have to adjust. So, as with most haunted house movies, this begins with a nice family moving into a new home, and then some weird stuff starts happening. They let it go on longer than I might, and then their oldest son, who's like 8, falls in the creepy attic that lured him in, and he goes into a non-coma, and he can't wake up. Everyone is understandably upset. Then, some crazy shit starts happening, all in one night, Rose sees a whole ghost man in the baby's room, and Patrick hears the alarm go off and see the door flung open several times in one night. It's really bad. And then, like geniuses, in the next scene, they move! However, they are too late, and they continue to be haunted, so they call some experts, as referred by Patrick's mom. Elise is the psychic's name, and she is awesome, and she has two nerds who work for her, and they come with her to help her scout out the house. She quickly diagnoses the boy, Dalton, as being in a spiritual coma, as in, he was astral projecting, and got lost, maybe in a maze someone trapped him in, and he couldn't get back to his body. Turns out, some crazy red-faced tailor puppet-master demon is keeping his locked up, but we don't know that until they find him. Elise reveals that, as a boy Patrick had the same ability, and some mean lady ghost kept haunting him, trying to hop in while he was out-of-body, so they shut down his ability - but now he has to do it again! To save his son! And he does, what a relief. BUT, while Dalton is fine, Patrick does not come back normal, and he kills nice Elise, because he is really that mean lady ghost! End of movie.

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,...

Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2 - in which Deadpool cries like a bitch, and I do not. First of all, Deadpool is working, and then he goes home to celebrate an anniversary with his girlfriend, who tells him they can try to have a baby now. Also, he gives her a plot device for a gift, and she gives him her removed IUD. There is no sex scene, and then the two of them are just chilling, and some guy Deadpool neglected to murder comes and kills his girlfriend. Deadpool does not take it well, and even though he like, immediately got revenge on the guy who shot her. Ultimately, he feels both responsible and sad, so he tries to kill himself. It doesn't take. His friend, Colossus, shows up and takes DP to be a part of a B team of X-men, as an official trainee. They go to a showdown between a teen named Russel (Julian Dennison) and some jerks who run the orphanage he lives in. Russel wants to kill the guys who have been abusing him, and Deadpool kind of talks him down, until The kid tells him he was abused b...

Raw

Raw - in which France has the grossest veterinary school imaginable, and vegetarianism is the thinking woman's solution to the broken Greek system. Some skinny girl goes to the same veterinary school her older sister is currently attending, and her bitch sister doesn't even help her move in to the dorm she is sharing with a guy. Albeit a gay guy, but I'm assuming not all of the men in this coed dorm are gay. The first night the hazing begins, the freshmen are herded out of their rooms by threat of violence, and all of their mattresses are thrown onto the front lawn. It takes a surreal turn into gross-cinema discomfort at the rave they are all taken to and our tiny protagonist runs into her mean sister and is peer pressured into taking some club drugs. Things are just starting to get weird. Some kind of creepy things are happening, but it mostly just reminds me of the lonely horror of my college experience, except I wasn't peer pressured into eating a rabbit kidney, ...
