The Old Dark House (1932)
Now this is more like it. The original film, not the William Castle version, this stars Boris Karloff as the creepy butler of a gloomy, deranged family. There's pyromania, alcoholism, religius fanaticism, and just plain strangeness with some great dialogue.

The Insatiable
One of my favorite direct to video releases, it's the story of a young man who captures a vampire serial killer after he fails to kill her, having fallen in love. Mind games ensue, Michael Biehn plays a former marine in a wheelchair, and if you like bunnies, you probably shouldn't watch this.

Afraid of the Dark
Odd movie where a young boy, facing an operation to recover his sight, believes that someone is stalking and killing blind women in his neighborhood. But is that actually happening? The second half goes into some bizarre territory and let's just say an unreliable narrator is putting it mildly.

Ray. If someone asks if you are a god, you say, "yes!"

Ghostbusters II
If my hands weren't tied by the unalterable fetters of the law, then I would invoke the tradition of our illustrious forebears, reach back to a purer, sterner justice, and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!

Double feature on AMC, you can study up on all the ghost fighting while you're waiting to see if they're actually going to make a third one or not (still in scripting, release date says 2012, so I wouldn't get too excited yet). But hey, you can keep yourself company with the Stay-Puft Man, the most adorable giant marshmallow ever.

Wicked City is one of those movies I'm glad I watched, if only so I can say, "Yes, I have seen it and now I feel like I should shower in bleach." But I can't complain - I did the research and I knew what I was getting into.

Really, the premise is pretty nifty - there's a truce between the demon world and the human one enforced by the Black Guard. Makie, demon officer by night, fashion model by day, and Taki, human guy with a big gun and a libido to match, are in charge of protecting a lecherous version of Yoda so that a peace treaty can be renewed and a bloodbath avoided. Naturally, there are those who wish to stop it, demon asskicking must ensue, and anyone looking for any kind of female empowerment in the movie should probably run far, far away from this one.

I'm just saying there's quite a bit of nonconsensual hentai action going on. And while I'm into supernatural organizations keeping peace in the world, I'm not really into the other thing. Despite all of that, it's still very good - the noir atmosphere is pitch perfect and for an anime from the 80s, it holds up quite well.

Just beware of the tentacles.
