SciFridays: “Fright Night” (2011)

Baddie – I mean, I guess vampires. Colin Farrell’s handsome face. Lesson – Vampirism is still not the best way to go through puberty. More vampires in the way Fright Night. I have not seen the original 80’s movie, and while I’d normally watch the original movie first, I made a compulsive decision to watch the remake because…

SciFridays: “The Thing” (1982)

Baddie – I mean, y’know. Aliens. Lesson – There’s a reason people don’t live full time in Antarctica. Just saying. So!

Nightmare On Elm Street is one of them, despite going to college about twenty minutes…

SciFridays: “Jaws: The Revenge” (1987)

Baddie – False senses of security. Lesson – There’s probably not another shark, just like there’s probably not another sequel. Jaws | Jaws 2 | Jaws 3 | Jaws 4 Oh…Jaws 4. Jaws, the Revenge. Jaws, the one-sequel-too-many. The Jaws movie starring…Michael Caine? Wait… I’m not sure where to start with this one, but, I guess…
