harumph. Life is...you know...thing.
Single again. Not yet loving it, but I'm sure I will eventually.
Still borderline crazy, the doctors tell me so.
Work is...certainly a thing I do, though not a thing I love. I feel I'm wasting potential, but potential what, I couldn't say.

| Let's talk movies |

I've got two words for you "Lost Boys." Ok, technically, I also have a punctuation mark and another two words, ":The Tribe." Oooh! I even have two more words! "Corey Feldman."
Let's face it, those six words (and that one lonely punctuation mark) should be enough to make anyone cringe. Still, in the interest of science I decided to sit through it.
...ok, science, and my addiction to horribad movies. I mean, Saturday nights on SciFi are like the Holy Grail for me. Ok, that's a bad comparison. The Holy Grail was an unseen artifact quested after for years and years and never found (until the 40's, when one Dr.Indiana Q. Jones, stumbled across it in the back room of a 7-11 in Bangkok...but that's another story,) whereas Saturday night SciFi movies are very real, not quite "holy," and can be found fairly easily (also, Dr. Jones would be, like, a hundred now, so you know there's no way he stays up late enough to watch them.) So let's say, instead that Saturday nights on SciFi are like a regularly scheduled tv program on a basic cable station to me.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Lost Boys: The Tribe. As vampire movies go, this is certainly one of them. A gang of good-looking surfer boy vampires (led by Roeg Sutherland, Keifer's half-brother) go into a town and set up shop. A good-looking ex-surfer and his good-looking sister become their targets. The good-looking head vampire (Sutherland...like in the first one...'cause, you know, it's a legacy movie) turns the good-looking sister, so the good-looking brother must kill the good-looking head vampire to turn her back. All very good-looking.
There's a gratuitous sex scene, a "mandatory bad movie topless girl" scene, a vampire rave/party scene, in fact, it has all the trappings of a generic bad vampire movie. Neither horrible nor great, just generic...enter: Corey Feldman.
What can be said of the Alpha Corey that hasn't been said before? He's made entirely of bubble wrap (Come on, you know that hasn't been said before.) Seriously, though. I very rarely get to say this...in fact, I think this is the first time this has ever been said in the history of film, but Corey Feldman is what makes this movie worth watching. His broken gravelly voice, his insane overacting, his badly-delivered one-liners. My God, the man is a National Treasure! Seriously, his performance makes this movie fantastic...I mean, keep in mind, I mean fantastic in the Saturday night on SciFi sense, not the "give this man an Oscar" sense (though wouldn't it be amazing if one day Feldman won an Oscar?)
Oh yeah bonus fun facts:
1) Listen for the reworked version of "Cry Little Sister" in the film. It's good in that "I remember that song from the first movie...hey, when did it get a guitar solo?" kind of way. Also, it doesn't show up in the end credits. I guess the producers thought it was just too expensive to pay for two plays of it.
2) Speaking of end credits. Shortly into the end credits there is a quick bonus scene. I've got just two more words for you about that: The Coreys.
