Near Dark We wanted to watch something different than the normal scheduled stuff including the binge watching Lost. I noticed Near Dark in the OnDemand and thought we would both like it. My wife had never seen it. I barely remembered it from when I first saw it.
Well, it might be a cult classic, but I was bored silly. To me it did not age well. For the time, it might have been good. Today.... phfffffttttt. The acting is horrible. Just horrible. The story wasn’t so great either. I was just constantly rolling my eyes how bad this was. We gave it an 50 minutes and then I determined that was enough and would not get any better.
Casual Sex We then gave Casual Sex a go. It’s squarely captures it’s time during 1988 with the hair, the music, the dialog. A very light comedy with Lea Thompson and Victoria Jackson. Remember Victoria? It also had Mary Gross from SNL and Andrew Dice Clay. I have never liked the Dice Man. I think his schtickt was good for 15 minutes and then I was done. But I tell you what, the only thing I really laughed at was Dice. He was so ‘that’ douche guy. But yea, it was mindless and not really that entertaining.
