The Hunger (1983): Kiss Me Deadly!
And it’s happened. I’ve been bitten by the vampire bug. It’s kinda like the swine flu with less deaths more press; it started with that guy Robert Pattinson and mutated into something deadly somewhere along Anna Paquin’s boobies. Unfortunately, it shows no signs of slowing with Twilight fever spreading through teenage girls and middle aged moms at an alarming rate. I was...

Phantom of The Paradise (1974): Listen all yall,...
Phantom of the Paradise is Brian de Palma’s brilliant musical loosely based on the Phantom of the Opera, Faust, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame and it’s pretty awesome. Musicals usually make me wanna kill myself (with one big exception). Like that shitshow Rent movie!? Ugh I still want that hour and a thirty five minutes of my life back. But I digress. Our protagonist Winslow Leach (Creepy William...

Lord of the Flies (1963): On an Island in the...
Lord of the flies is a near perfect movie. We all had to read this book in high school and know of the tale of kids left alone on an island after a plane crash. At first the premise sounds like a dream come true: Who needs adults anyway? You’re free! But then reality sets in. You’re only a kid, and obviously not ready for this kind of responsibility. The children on the island are all...

The Beaver Trilogy (1979, 1981, 1985): When you're...
Despite what the title implies The Beaver Trilogy is not a porn. Its a film in three parts. The first act “The Beaver Kid” is a documentary about Larry, a goofy character with a nervous laugh and a knack for impersonations including Sly Stallone, Barry Manilow and John Wayne. Larry writes a letter asking the film’s director to return to his town for a local talent show where he...

The Outsiders (1983): Only the good die young.
You know you’re in for some good stuff when a film has an opening theme called “Stay Gold” sung by Stevie Wonder. And who ISN’T in this movie?! Talk about ensemble cast: Swayze, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez, C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise (God, I hate this guy so much), Leif Garrett and Diane Lane. The story follows the tensions between the rich kid...

Boyz N The Hood (1991): Grinding.
What you see when you’re young changes you forever. For me it was hair metal*, power ballads, unhealthy amounts of JCS, pizza pretzels and way too many Strawberry flavored Special Brews. For others (in my own neighborhood even) it was street dreams, guns, drugs and hustlin. Boyz N the Hood is about the latter. It’s one of those movies that punches you in the stomach, then you get up...
