These are some movies I plan on reviewing for this site, so be prepared for crap.
Fright Night
Predator
Predator 2
Silver Ninja Dragon(b-movie crap right there, probley one of the worst kung fu movies, in a good way)
Romeo Must Die
Enter The Dragon
Sounds good, but "Fright Night" is far from crap. It's a great Horror/Comedy, with a fine performance from Roddy McDowell.
Any chance of doing a review for "Doom Asylum"? It's an 80's Slasher film featuring a pre "Sex In The City" star Kristen Davis. I'm always interested in hearing others comments on this film.
I know Fright Night is an awesome movie. It's not a bad movie. It's a good movie. It's a good bad movie. I f you looked at my under my post Howfey Yall,Fright Night is one of my favorite movies. I hate when people say Jerry and his friend are gay are gay. You do have to admate that Evil Ed was pretty annoying before he was turned into a vampire. I have to see Fright Night 2 sometime. Jerrys sister tries to get revenge for Jerry's death.
Hope you don't expect too much from "Fright Night 2". While it has its moments it is not even close to being the classic that the original "Fright Night" is.
Wow. That's frightening. I was just searching for reviews of Fright Night and Romeo Must Die.
I saw Fright Night in the theatre when it was first released. Great Movie and even better in the theatre with a TON of people screaming, "RELOAD! RELOAD!" as the zombie version of Renfield slowly stalks up the stairs.
I've got Romeo on DVD. Another good movie. Jet Li rocks. There was some so-so wirework, but Aaliyah was so hot I would have bought the dvd just to see her mug for the camera.
I would really like to see "Enter the dragon" reviewed. I mean, it is an OK movie, but if you want it to be so, it can be hilarious, and probably it still have not been reviewed from this angle.
I've always though it would be good to review Kentucky Fried Movie with Enter the Dragon, it's a movie of extraordinary magnitude!!
First of all Fright Night 2 was a good movie on it's own but when i watch it i always wish i'm watching the original. Fright night was one of those movies that had a strong effect on me as a little kid (alongside return of the living dead). to this day i've been collecting memoribillia and out of all the s**t i have my favorite would have to be my "amy" vampire resin model.
Also, speaking of gay, Evil Ed is one of the things that make Fright Night a Classic to me and stephen geoffreys is a great actor. It's a known fact that he after the 80's he got into homosexual pornography. Not that that decreases any respect or praise i have for the man and it shouldn't for any of you.

P.S. it's not reinfield and to be honest in no way close the the character besides the fact that he's a servant of the vampire. his name is billy cole and he's jerry dandridge's "roomate"
That's what I said they are NOT gay, and I hate when people say it. I never said Evil Ed was gay either, I just said he was annoying. Thanks for telling me Jerry's friend or "roomate's" name. I could not remember it and it was killing me. I also hate when people say Fred from Scooby-Doo is. He's not. Daffeny is his FRIGGIN' girlfriend. THE DAMN SCARF DOES NOT MEAN HE IS GAY. GOT IT.
dude my moto is who gives a s**t about their sexual preference? onto next topic. the characters weren't gay dude but the actor who played evil is.
"P.S. it's not reinfield and to be honest in no way close the the character besides the fact that he's a servant of the vampire"
The "servant of the vampire" bit is the reason I called him a version of renfield.
Always willing to talk about one of my favorite vampire films. I say it is not only one of the two best vampire films from the '80's, the other being "Lair of the White Worm." but one a baker's dozen best vampire films made in the past 80 years.
As to the sexual orientation of the character--not the actor--the character "Evil Ed"
Thompson, alot of gays claim him as one of their own. It is something that Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) said just before he bit him, and I am paraphrasing here: "They will hurt you no more." Alot of gays took that as code to mean that "Evil Ed" was suffering from the hurt of being a gay teen.
As for the actor who played him, Stephen Geoffreys, it is said that he is trying to get back into a more legitimate line of acting in films.
As for the sexual orientation of the character--not the actor--the character Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon), the misunderstanding may come about. because he comes across as being neither straight nor gay, but bisexual. And if one equates the bite with sex, then that is true. Like Lady Syvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) in "Lair of the White Worm," another bisexual character, he is willing to put the bite on anyone. Men, women, boys, it does not matter to him. He even goes her one better. He is willing to put the bite on girls.
As for his roommate in the film, I do not know if he was described as being gay in the novel based on the screenplay, but he was descrbed as being a necrophile. Having sex with Dandridge's female victims after they were dead.
As for the film itself, after seeing it again last October, something struck me about it. After the mother disappears from the film, it becomes a six person story. And all six actors turn in excellent characterizations.
And a P.S. Of the films listed, some of them may be better then others, but none of them are crap by any means. Actually, they come across as being some of their best in their genera. Enjoy!
I didn't mean to start a whole gay discussion jeeze. I blame myself. I didn't mean to offend anyone if I did, I just said I hate when people say the two vampires are gay, and that Evil Ed is annoying, I DID NOT SAY HE WAS GAY.
BoyScoutKevin: You said you liked this movie? I have never heard of it before. As I am always looking for a good vamp flick I did a quick search. It stars Hugh Grant? I've seen several movies with him in them and he's always annoyed me. Does he play this role straight or does he do his normal "bumblin' stumblin" routine?
I have the movie adaptation if that's what your talking about and there's no part that says anything about billy cole cracking open a cold one. in other words as far as the book's concerned we do not know if he is or not.
uhh there's no hugh grant in the movie. there IS roddy mcdowall and amanda bearse in it though. hugh grant? where the hell does it say he was in it?
I wouldn't sweat it, dude. We're cool here, right? :)
Geoffreys was superb in an old Amazing Stories episode where he falls in love with a girl, and then finds out that he and his own family are actually aliens living quietly on earth, and it's now time for them to leave for the stars... Naturally he is very depressed and doesn't want to leave his new girlfriend behind. Then as he is boarding the ship, he finds out that *bingo*...she and her family are also aliens, and so they leave for "home" on the same ship. :) A very sweet, romantic story.
I also saw him in a hilarious movie where he and his buddies were in a Catholic boarding school or somesuch, but he had this problem... Funny stuff.
I heard where his career has gone, and well, he's a fine young actor, I just hope life treats him well and that he takes care of himself, whatever he does.
Cheers,
Kolos
kolos the catholic school movie you're talking about is "heaven help us" then there's 976-EVIL which was a cool movie but i can't help be p**sed at it's existance since if it weren't for it stephen probably would have returned in fright night 2 thus making it more of a worthy sequal
Yeah, that was the one I was talking about. And I may be wrong. It has been along time, since I've read it, and sometimes my memory does play tricks on me. I'll have to see if I can dig up a copy somewhere and re-read it.
He plays it fairly straight, as this was early in his career, before he started bumblin' and stumblin' around. Something of an underrated film by a underrated director, it is worth seeing for the subtle verbal and visual wit, and the not so subtle and visual wit. And if that does not appeal to you, there is the luscious Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) running around in very little or nothing at all. A preview of the film can be found at this site, under the "B-Movie Reviews."
P.S. Trevor the Rat. You are right. "Fright Night" does star Roddy McDowall and Amanda Bearse, among others, and not Hugh Grant. But, Lord Humungous was talking about "Lair of the White Worm." and whatever one thinks of Hugh Grant, he is in that one.
Thanks, Trevor.
I had a female friend who was crazy-insane head over heels for Geoffreys, until I gave her a copy of that movie... I wonder if she knows what he's doing today?
Cheers,
Kolos
Well, hell. How did I miss that review. I must have seen Hugh's name and skipped right over it. I think I'll have to check it out. I do appreciate subtle verbal and visual wit. I also appreciate nekkid chicks. :)
Yeah man the book was a little more light hearted than that. instead of armies of the night playing at the club like in the movie in the book it was michael jackson's thriller. thank god they changed it.
