hello from Utah. i'm still in the dusty shithole Enterprise hiding from Gabrielle. i am starting to think reviewing Gabrielle Fouscas wasn't worth the trouble. anyway, i had my friend Fresh Eddie from home send me a bunch of DVDs in the mail to keep me busy since no one in Enterprise, Utah does anything but stare at the sun and wait for their horses get hungry.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
last night i watched Lucas (1986). Lucas is a film by David Seltzer about little kid-Corey Haim (Lucas) trying to become a football star so he can have sex with Kerri Green and everyone will stop making fun of him for being small and lame. the story begins when Corey Haim meets Kerri Green and they become friends. Kerri Green joins the cheerleading team and Corey Haim gets mad because he's worried she will become too cool to talk to him anymore, and then it all goes bad when she kisses Charlie Sheen. later he tries to kiss her and gets turned down and he gets angry and makes her leave. a desperate Corey Haim joins the school football team. even though Corey Haim is physically very tiny and has never played football before, he plans to immediately excel at the sport and redeem his entire life but then instead he gets tackled really hard and almost dies but doesn't and everyone respects him for not-quite-dying. Corey Haim is given a varsity jacket and is celebrated by his much cooler classmates. he raises his hands in triumph.
Lucas knocked me off my feet harder than the football player who knocked Lucas off his feet in a literal sense and almost killed him! if you love a good underdog story, have your friend Fresh Eddie mail you the Lucas DVD ASAP. Corey Haim kills it, Charlie Sheen is as effortlessly cool as ever and Winona Ryder is in Lucas as well. Lucas is an all around fully realized and well-directed piece of work that gets big laughs while still managing to have a message (if you almost die in a football game people wont make fun of you). this is why we watch movies. get it!
10/10
