The Ice Cream Truck

Ice Cream Truck

When a local ice cream man who has a love for nostalgia starts to kill some of her neighbors, Mary is torn between her mature instincts that something is wrong and the distracting memories of her younger days.

In other words, it was a very creepy movie, that never got a limited screening when it came in the fall of 2017. I wanted ice cream when I was watching the movie, instead, I got a popcorn flavor ice cream for promotion and it was free, the flavor was Lemon meringue pie, the drink I had to pay for it.

Writer and director Megan Freels Johnston wrote the screenplay with the elements of a slasher flick, social satire, and psychological portrait of American life.

It reminds me of David Lynch in the beautiful way it was filmed, as well as the deliberately methodical pace. But that was intentional, similar to the pace and main character in Lost In Translation, which also conveys the experiences of a person in a fish out of water realm of uneasiness, triggered by new and unfamiliar surroundings.

Deanna Russo’s acting is spot on as a woman dealing with loneliness, boredom, the faded nostalgia of her teen years as well as the constant onslaught of awkward strangers and neighbors who repeatedly invade her fragile bubble of isolation. Plus, she is gorgeous.

Truth or Dare

thru or dare 3

Olivia and Lucas and their group of college friends travel to Mexico for one last getaway before graduation. While there, a stranger convinces one of the students to play a seemingly harmless game of truth or dare with the others. Once the game starts, it awakens something evil — a demon which forces the friends to share dark secrets and confront their deepest fears. The rules are simple but wicked — tell the truth or die, do the dare or die, and if you stop playing, you die.

How are you going to live? Don’t play it!

So would you watch it?  Tell the truth. You will watch it. What happened to spin the bottle game, that was my favorite game when I was in high school. What I did was too embarrassed to tell, not even for a blog post.  I was a teenager once, and it was stupid. My friends, they are married with children and live they out of state, which is good.

And by the way, if your teens want to go to Mexico for Spring Break, make sure they have life Insurance. Going across the border may not be the best Spring Break, it could be dangerous. Do you remember a family got killed in a room they were staying? The case is still ongoing. Mexico could be dangerous and also beautiful with culture.

Oh by, the way, this is the Eight film of the Truth and Dare, and this on is the best horror flick!

A Quite Place – the Review

A-Quiet-Place MP.jpg

If they hear you, they hunt you.

The movie tells the story of a family under siege. To survive, they have to follow one abiding law of safety: If anyone makes a sound — virtually any sound at all — then that person will be a goner. It also means you too. Don’t make a noise when watching the movie too. If you do a skeletal creature with crab-like pincers and a head like a metallic melon will burst out of the woods and make mincemeat of the noise-maker. Especially, when parents bring their babies to see a PG13 movie and don’t understand, little children can get nightmares or even poop in their pants and stink up the theater too. Don’t bring babies to a movie theater, they can’t stop crying, and they could bump their heads on the seat. It’s too dark to see!

But if everyone simmers down and put a cork in it, or a real cork, they’ll succeed in eluding the monsters in their midst. Life will go on (but quietly!). At times, we might be watching an “Alien” sequel in which the creature had mated with a very nasty and scolding the librarian. Shhhh!

This movie is a horror/thriller it would be nice to bring a significant other, in case someone gets scared and need to jump on you, then it would be nice.

I went on a date with a woman to see a horror movie, when the lights were on. She was gone. Not lucky. I enjoyed the movie; it had me on edge for the entire film. I enjoyed it, my date – not. When there were scarier scenes, I would jump on her. She did not like it.

The movie was directed by John Krasinski With:

RPO Move Poster 1

Steven Spielberg is a fantastic director; he directs a science fiction action adventure called “Ready Player One” based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller hit. The screenplay is by Zak Penn and Ernest Cline.

RPO Cast 1

The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery, and danger. It may be Steven Spielberg biggest hit ever.

Flower MP

Rebellious, quick-witted Erica Vandross is a 17-year-old firecracker living with her single mom, Laurie, and her mom’s new boyfriend, Bob, in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. When Bob’s mentally unbalanced son, Luke, arrives from rehab to live with the family, Erica finds her domestic and personal life overwhelmed. With Luke and her sidekicks Kala and Claudine in tow, Erica acts out by exposing a high school teacher’s dark secret. Erica wants to be a hero for her stepbrother and protect him. It’s an unusual and weird film; and also uncomfortable to watch, the movie is rated R. due to crude sexual content and language throughout, graphic nude drawings, some drug content and a brief violent image.

Zoey Deutch performance is absolutely fantastic, she is funny. You might like her. I gave it 3 ½ out of 4 stars.

Love Simmon 2

This is a coming of age movie, more like coming out and telling that you are gay. More difficult part is saying that how you feel about the same sex to your family and friends, that’s difficult. And what would they tell you, that’s also difficult. The movie is funny, charming and adorable to watch. I was curious. I saw this movie.  At the meantime, I am straight. I love women. It also gives a life lesson of how to talk to your children about this situation. It is based on a book by Becky Albertalli “Simon vs. the Humo Sapiens Agenda.”

Demon House – Warning

sillykhan movies , , , , , , , , ,

Demon House MP

Back in 2014, in Gary, Indiana. There’s was a report of a house that was haunted by demons, and a family was living there. It made headlines news. The scary part, a child, was involved, and it saw the devil multiple times.

This is a true story. Zak Bagans and his crew from Ghost Adventures from the Travel Channel investigated the house. It was a gateway to hell. More like a portal to hell and it was hell to them. And they weren’t acting at all. It is all real.

It is not to be compared to the Amityville Horror or the Conjuring and the series after the Conjuring, they are movies. But this is a documentary of true horror. We all have encounters with spirits, but this one is different.

What attracted Zak Bagan to this house was a child was involved. Ghost Hunter team knew about this, but they would not investigate because of the demons in the house.

They have incredible witnesses, protective Service Caseworker, a psychiatrist and a nurse. Even the police were involved, and they have an eyewitness, and they could not believe what they saw.  You will hear their cases and see reacted scenes and most important, there will investigate the house too. What will they find? It might even scare you. No actors were used in this investigation.  It will make you a believer, and it is out there.

A viewer who saw this movie said “I couldn’t get through the full movie because I felt such an overwhelming sense of fear, later my girlfriend and I both had unusual mood swings we can’t explain, I’m not saying don’t go to see it I’m just saying be careful, the warning at the start is no joking matter.”  (Twitter source – Bob Roy)

Demon House is now in theaters and VOD and Digital HD.  Check for times and locations of where to watch it.
