It can go from being genuinely creepy to laugh out loud funny without missing a beat. The love story blends beauty and tragedy with something that you could barely get away with in a cheap midmorning melodrama. The whole movie is a contradiction and that's part of what makes it so special.... Looking forward to watching it. |
Oh man. I used to be in LOVE with Keanu Reeves circa 1994 (Speed of course!) - Imagine my shock when I finally realized that he
might not be the most skilled actor.

Oh, wow, I keep forgetting about Near Dark! I need to see it again; I think it was one of those movies that I watched when I was sick so I can't really count it as something I've "seen."
