"A recently divorced mother (Diane Weist) and her two sons (Jason Patric and Corey Haim) move to "Santa Clara, California" (Santa Cruz, California, which is where the movie was filmed) to live with her father (Barnard Hughes). Unknown to them, "Santa Clara" is having a rash of missing children. Shortly after they settle in, the elder son, "Michael" (Patric), attends an outdoor concert and sees a beautiful girl (Jami Gertz) elsewhere in the audience and they momentarily lock eyes and show signs of attraction to each other. Later on, they bump into each other on the unnamed local boardwalk amusement park (Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in reality) where she introduces herself as "Star". He then runs into her boyfriend, "David" (Kiefer Sutherland), who leads a trouble-making motorcycle gang in the town. After a night of dangerous dares with the gang, "Michael" begins to change. He sleeps until sundown, and begins to wear sunglasses when he had to be outside during the day. Meanwhile, at th ... "

"I've been sprinkling the Blockbuster Online queue w/gems of yesteryear... like THE LOST BOYS. I won't bother critiquing the plot. Instead, I will share 5 memorable moments: (1) Jumping off a bridge because your friends tell you to. (2) Death by stereo. (3) Comic book store as a cover for the higher power of fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. (4) Reading TV Guide so you don't have to watch TV. (5) The perils of being at the mercy of your sex glands. "

"The vampires of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels are described as impossibly beautiful. But it’s one vampire, “Edward Cullen,” who is written as having such appealing details that it would seem impossible for a girl not to fall in love with him. In actuality, that’s what has happened to most females, young and old, who have read the books. And while his cinematic portrayer, Robert Pattinson, doesn’t quite resemble a marble statue of Adonis, the actor is still getting his fair share of seven-year-old suitors asking to be bitten. Cullen is hardly the first vampire to so strongly attract the hearts (and necks) of mortals. But what is it about the bloodsucking undead that turns us on so much? Is it truly their stone-white skin and chiseled features? Or perhaps it’s their ability to go all night long? Let us take a look at the many vampire love interests that literature and cinema have given us over the years in an attempt to find out their sexy secret. 1819: Lord Ruthven from The Vam ... "

Lost Boys: The Tribe - Review

"Getting straight to the point-y stake, Lost Boys: The Tribe is an amazingly bad amalgam of sub-standard writing and amateurish production value not suitable for the melodramatic soap operas and flesh-peddling Skinamax films it so desperately wants to emulate. Rehashing the same story-line from the original film The Lost Boys and putting a 'modern' twist on it, the films reeks of inexperienced filmmakers and the pathetically inept actors cast in this charade of a sequel. Overdose on Vicodin and down a bottle of cheap vodka and you might find yourself capable of tolerating this mess. "

"Yes, I could have embedded the cool new Watchmen trailer, but the YouTube clips I saw just didn’t do the visuals justice (watch it on Apple.com instead). And sure, I could have shared the long-awaited Twilight trailer, but it doesn’t actually look all that appealing — I know the books are popular, but the adaptation just looks like

"By now I’m sure you’ve heard that former ’80s teen-movie star John Cusack will star in Roland Emmerich’s apocalypse spectacular 2012. Considering the blockbuster filmmaker has previously directed the likes of James Spader (in Stargate) and Matthew Broderick (in Godzilla), I figure it’s only a matter of time before he’s worked with all our favorite ’80s teen-movie actors. So, here’s a list of the next ten actors most appropriate for Emmerich to cast: Kirk Cameron - The former star of TV’s Growing Pains and the ’80s flick Like Father, Like Son has more recently starred in the Christian-targeted Left Behind movies, which, in dealing with the Rapture, fit in with Emmerich’s usual penchant for end-of-the-world scenarios. Considering his pro-creationist stance, he probably wasn’t a fan of Emmerich’s recent caveman epic and his Evangelical status mean "

"This was the first Vampire movie that I have ever seen and I saw it seven years after it hit the box office. I lost my soul at the end of this movie to "vampires" everywhere, and I was only nine-years-old. Boo to Jason Patric for not coming to the dark side. Boo... boo indeedy! "

"Kiefer Sutherland is a passionate man. Indeed, how could anyone who has ever sat through one episode of 24, with Kiefer alternating between his soft intense snarl, and his flat-out crazed roaring ever accuse him of passionlessness? We suspect the war on terror would have ended in early 2002, had the government actually employed such a solider. Imagine Kiefer, staggering over the rocky mountain passes of Afghanistan, sneaking up on Taliban fighters, MacGyver-ing some torture devise out of his personal, stand-by nipple clamps and some rogue lightning, while grabbing them by their scruffy necks and growling, “I need you to take me to Bin Laden, and I need you to do it NOW.” But what of the early years? Has Kiefer always been so intense, or has his life as a Federal Counter-Terrorism Field Op hardened his demeanor, forcing him to put aside all of his own interests, for the good of all of us ungrateful, unpatriotic, and clueless Angelinos? < "
