73. Room 33 (2009)

PREVIOUSLY ON WARLOCK’S MOVIE REALM

*Neyzor Blades and The Warlock ate watching From Russia With Love. James Bond and Kerim’s son check into the Istanbul hotel and the concierge says room number 32 is ready.*

“Warlock: Room 32 huh?

Neyz: Yeah, why?

*Warlock looks at his unwatched movie shelf with Room 33 sitting on it*

Warlock: Nevermind.”

PRESENT DAY

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a black t-shirt, leather jacket, gargoyle shades, blue jeans and white sneakers. He’s holding a wine glass of Dr. Pepper*

Warlock: Happy New Years Eve. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock walks inside*

Warlock: Tonight is movie number 2 or 6 in the final movie pack. ROOM 33.

*Mr. America puts the dvd in the player then sits on the left side of the couch*

America: What happened to rooms 1-32?

Warlock: Vanished into thin air. A Roller Derby team stumbles upon a haunted insane asylum.

*Mr. Wallstreet is sitting in the recliner wearing his standard suit*

Wallstreet: A roller derby team? That’s original for once.

*Warlock takes his seat on the right side of the couch*

Warlock: Its time for ROOM 33

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “A group of friends on a road trip seek shelter at a mental institution in the woods, only to discover that the building is the home of a mysterious young girl named Roxy whose unsettling presence serves as a foreshadow of doom.”

America: Its a mental institution, that should be your first hint that something’s wrong.

*Movie opens with terribly animated credits with grainy stock footage and garage band song*

Warlock: This doesn’t look good already.

*Nelson (Ace Gibson), Beard Guy, Blonde Girl and Brunette girl give bad dialogue and Nelson says they need to get some sleep*

America: I’ll give you a hint, you’ll soon be lost.

*A man and woman crash their car into a tree. The van with Nelson pulls up to them. Beard Guy is named Stewart (Adam Key) says they may be rapists or slashers*

Warlock: Based on Hell’s Highway, its not that far fetched.

America: The front end of the car doesn’t even look damaged.

*Blonde guy knocks on the window*

Warlock: HELP!

America: I need help!!!

*Brunette Girl: Are you ok?”

America: Oh yeah, it was self imposed, chick dig scars right?

*Car DOES have damage*

America: That’s better.

*Nelson tells Blonde Girl they’re going to a Roller Derby. Blonde Guy’s girlfriend is unimpressed. Blonde Guy says thanks for the lift*

Warlock: Still don’t have any names yet apart from Stewart.

*Stewart drives to a sign that says “Road Closed* on a chain link fence. Blonde Girl tells him to turn around. He says he can’t because he’s almost out of gas. The last town was 90 miles back the other way*

America: What the hell is wrong with you? You know you’re running out of gas and you don’t stop to get fuel? I want his driving privileges revoked the rest of the film.

Wallstreet: Or he should be the first to die.

America: That sounds better.

*Natasha (Nicole Dionne) puts on her skates and goes the other way, the rest of the group hops the fence. Stewart introduces himself to Chad (Chad Michael Collins) and Allie (Austin Highsmith). Stewart introduces Nelson, Barbie (Kim Manning) and Sarah (Nina Hauser). They’re a roller derby team, Stewart is the equipment manager and Nelson is the coach*

Warlock: Finally some names.

*Allie says there are no elk in this part of the pacific northwest*

America: Mrs Smarty Pants.

*Nelson “Any signs of life?”

America: No, its a creepy looking asylum.

*Nelson: “I think we should go now”

Warlock: HOW TO RUIN A MOVIE!

America: “Yeah let’s go back”

Wallstreet: “Good idea, let’s go”

All: THE END!

*Sarah breaks the glass on the door and everyone but Nelson enters. He says he’ll stay in the van*

Warlock: He’s the only smart one

America: I call that breaking and entering.

Wallstreet: The damages are going to cost them.

*Group inside checks out the creepy place*

Warlock: I’d love it if Nelson stayed outside the whole movie no matter what.

America: Yeah, he hears screaming and says “Nope, still not going in.”

*Sarah and Barbie insult Allie. Barbie and Chad walk out. Nelson “Finally let’s go.” Barbie “We’re staying the night”  Nelson is pissed*

America: I hope he lives, only smart one.

*Stewart films Allie from behind and she tells him she hates being filmed. Meanwhile she catches up to Sarah with a bat*

America: I like how she wasted no time in arming herself.

Warlock: Unlike other movies, they’re not all idiots. One wants no part of the place and another armed herself.

*Barbie and Chad get supplies from the van and as they leave, the camera closes up on the van’s overhead light still on*

America: Battery’s gonna die, good job nincompoop.

*Barbie and Chad go inside, Nelson joins them*

Warlock: No no no no…awwww

Wallstreet: He’s done.

America: Nooooo!

*Allie checks out the records office. She tells Sarah that this was a psychiatric hospital, not a retirement home. Sarah says she heard an urban legend that this place cut people up for body parts*

Warlock: So THIS is the fear chamber?

*Sarah opens a morgue slab and a white rat comes out*

Warlock: Its Doris from Home Alone 3!

*Roxy (Olivia Leigh Schwarzentraub) runs at Sarah with a shovel, screams, swings and misses*

America: Steeeeeeerike 1

*Roxy drops the shovel and walks away*

America: What????

*Roxy hides under the sink. Sarah freaks out*

America: Relax, she’s not Randy Orton.

*Allie tries to sweet talk Roxy as the rest of the group show up. Stewart films everything. Roxy says “She kills people” Allie: “Who did this?” Roxy “He killed them” Nelson “I told you staying here was a bad idea*

Warlock: Will someone listen to him?

*Natasha lays in the middle of the road*

America: That’s one way to become roadkill.

*Natasha walks up to a preacher (Taras Los) who’s eyes go black. Allie screams and says “She’s dead”. The group decides to split up to look around*

America: Never…fucking…works.

*Deputy Hawkins (Richard Courtney) drives up to Chad’s car and THEN puts the cherries on. He calls for backup when the preacher in black walks up to him. Suddenly Nelson hears screaming from a distance*

Warlock: At least he TRIED to call for backup.

*Barbie and Sarah hits the lights on the circuit breakers*

America: Why didn’t she put all of them on?

*Meanwhile back in the van, Nelson spots the preacher in the mirror, gets out and he’s not there*

America: Whatever you do, don’t investigate.

Warlock: Too late.

*Allie slips a candy bar to Roxy. She tells Allie her name. Allie says “Its gonna be ok”

Warlock: No its not.

America: Nopeeeee

*Chad and Stewart catch up to Sarah and Barbie. Nelson runs in and says he has a bad feeling about this. Stewart wires the circuit breaker to get the surveillance cameras and establishes himself as a complete pervert in the process*

America: For such a big place, why are there only four consoles?

*Nelson wanders around with a lead pipe and shouts at air. Meanwhile Barbie asks Chad how long he’s been with Allie. Chad says they’re not REALLY together because she’s having a lot of problems. Barbie says the problem can be solved with a good hookup. Chad leaves to go find Natasha and Barbie calls him a pussy*

Warlock: Faithful so far, but I see where this is going.

*Allie asks Roxy what happened. “Did somebody hurt you?

America: Uh, do you SEE the scars on her arms?

*Roxy answers in a man’s voice that no one can help her. They’ll all die. Allie runs away. Meanwhile Stewart watches Sarah strip to her thong*

America: WOAH!

Warlock: Wowwww

*Sarah puts on her roller derby outfit as Chad and Allie talk. Allie says she heard a male voice.*

Wallstreet: That should have been a sign, get the hell out of here.

America: There’s been numerous signs.

*Stewart spots the preacher and calls the group in. Everyone walks in and Stewart says to go get Sarah. Nelson does but Sarah is skeptical. She calls everyone chicken shits and leaves*

Warlock: Her and Nelson are the only two smart ones.

*Sarah skates out and yells at the air to show itself. Nothing appears and Sarah storms back in. Nelson notices Roxy is gone. Barbie and Chad go to investigate. Allie grabs a flashlight and goes to find Roxy. Everyone goes searching*

Wallstreet: I have an idea, run for your livesssss!!

*Stewart opens a morgue slab as Allie checks the staff lockers. A cat jumps out*

Warlock: Awww der smittens.

*Nelson spots preacher on the cameras. Chad finds Roxy as he and Barbie chase after her. Roxy runs outside as Stewart says to leave her alone. Stewart goes back to the cameras, Nelson has to watch to door. Barbie goes on her own. Chad and Allie run out to catch Roxy. Meanwhile Sarah skates around with a bat in her hands*

Wallstreet: Well the best defense is the best offense.

*Stewart talks to himself*

America: He’s trying to think HAPPY thoughts!

*Nelson catches up with Barbie and says this whole situation is stupid*

Warlock: I agree.

*Barbie asks if Nelson is afraid. He says “Yes, I’d rather be afraid than dead”

Warlock: Once again, best character in the movie.

America: I wanna see him live.

*Barbie goes one way, Nelson the other*

America: Splitting up…I hate it.

*Nelson trips over the dead, eyeless body of Natasha. Camera cuts to Allie and Chad running through the woods*

Warlock: Where’s Jason Voorhees?

*Chad kisses Allie with the explanation that its for if they don’t make it. She says she doesn’t expect to die*

Warlock: It…

America: Failed.

*Nelson walks up to Stewart. “I hate the woods, let’s leave it at that.” Stewart: “What?” Nelson “Natasha’s dead, her eyes were gone” Stewart: “Shit.”

Warlock: Anyone want to leave now??

*Allie and Chad find Roxy amongst a campsite with dead bodies, everyone’s eyes are cut out. Barbie runs up and finds the bodies. Chad, Allie, Barbie. Roxy run in and say they have to go now. Nelson reveals Natasha is dead too. Everyone runs outside and prepares to leave*

America: Should have done this a while ago.

*Sarah yells at everyone and is convinced Roxy is the killer. Stewart can’t get the van started*

America: We called it.

*Allie says fighting won’t help. Barbie says she has an idea…split up. Nelson says its a bad idea*

America: I love this guy!

*Barbie and Nelson go off together. Sarah, Roxy, Allie Stewart and Chad go back inside. Barbie and Nelson pull up on Deputy Hawkins’ cruiser and no one’s there*

Wallstreet: At least they found a car with gas in it.

*There’s blood all over the cruiser. Barbie says she doesn’t like this. They find the gun covered in blood. Nelson picks up the gun*

Warlock: Oh, they’ll blame the black guy.

*Barbie says not to be stupid to Nelson. He goes in the woods and finds the preacher. He tells him not to move. Preacher turns around and has no eyes. He walks around a tree and when Nelson turns the corner, he’s gone……until he appears right next to him. Preacher screams and then Roxy screams. She covers herself up as Chad runs in*

Warlock: There goes Nelson.

America: Ughhhhhhh

*Barbie grabs the shotgun and spots Preacher in the backseat. She pumps a round and blows the window out, but Preacher is gone*

America: Should have taken that first.

Warlock: I don’t think that was going to help.

*Stewart and Allie share bonding moments*

Warlock: At least they’re attempting character development.

*Stewart asks her out if they live. She walks away*

Warlock: Shut…down.

*Sarah says she has to pee. Chad wants to go with her and follows her. Stewart runs over and shuts the door behind them*

Warlock: What was the point of that?

*Sarah walks outside and spots something. She swings the bat and kacks Barbie in the head*

Warlock: I don’t think she’s getting up

America: That’s either a very serious concussion or she’s dead.

*Allie finds a perscription bottle as Sarah makes out with Chad outside. Sarah goes down on him as Barbie is still out cold*

America: That’s one way to distract him.

*Chad runs in and Allie notices something off about him*

America: She’s onto you.

Warlock: Women…weaken…legs

*Sarah skates around with her helmet on, banging lockers with her bat*

America: Attacking lockers isn’t going to help.

*Allie tells Stewart and Chad that its driving her crazy. Stewart says its her only therapy. Allie walks off*

America: Well she did just knock her teammate out cold.

*Allie confronts Sarah and says she’s driving them all crazy. Sarah tells Allie to control her boyfriend. Chad runs in and says Roxy is freaking out. Allie “For the record, he’s not my boyfriend”.  Roxy throws boxes around and says “He’s here…..Room 33”

Wallstreet: She said the name of the movie.

*Sarah tells Stewart that Allie and Chad could be in on it. Allie tells Chad that Room 33 was for the seriously psycho patients. Sarah puts her normal clothes on and stops in front of Chad*

Wallstreet: Ready for another?

*Sarah walks away and Chad just sits there. Allie finds a sign that says “Quiet Please”

Warlock: They mean us?

America: I hope not.

*Allie finds Room 33. Has to remove a barrier to climb in*

Wallstreet: Maybe it was barricaded for a reason!

Warlock: She may have to wrestle a xenomorph.

America: Oyyyyy

*Allie finds the confidential records*

America: Horrible filing system, just saying.

*Allie looks at the classified files*

Wallstreet: Its a hospital, not the government

*Allie finds that Project 7 was to test subjects with LSD*

Warlock: LSD??

*Allie finds a picture of a young Roxy (Rachel Hamilton) next to Preacher. Meanwhile Stewart finds someone trying to prop up Barbie. The group runs out and she’s still breathing. They put her on a gurney*

America: Why is Sarah so paranoid? Its not like it was intentional and I doubt Barbie even saw it coming.

Warlock: Not only that, all she has to say was “My bad, I did it, it was an accident”

*Sarah and Chad go exploring. The Stranger (Ned Liebl) wanders around*

Warlock: That’s the guy trying to pop up Barbie.

*Chad runs up and pushes Stewart by accident. Stranger continues to wander around. Sarah sees him, camera zooms in on the bat*

Warlock: Don’t you think you’ve done enough damage with that?

*Sarah sneaks up behind Stranger and knocks him cold with one swing*

Warlock: Backbackbackbackback…gone!

*Chad and Stewart tie up the Stranger. Chad and Stewart ask Allie what to do? Stewart then figures out to switch the batteries from Chad’s car with the van’s*

Warlock: I thought different cars had different batteries?

America: If the voltage matches, it works.

*Chad and Stewart find the eyeless corpse of Nelson as they hear tires screeching. All of a sudden a random Hillbilly (Hollywood Heard) shows up and shoots Chad dead with a shotgun*

Warlock: Well that was pointless.

*Sarah apologizes to Barbie’s body as Stranger starts screaming for help. Allie walks up to him and he asks to be untied. His name is Martin and he’s looking for someone. He says he’s looking for a relative of his that recently escaped from a psychiatric facility. She asks if its Roxy and he says her name is Rachel. He says that Roxy is just another one of her personalities. Allie asks if she’s connected to Room 33, Martin faces goes cold. “How did you know that?” He reveals Roxy’s father ran the place until he and two others were murdered. Martin implies that she killed them all. 5 years ago she escaped an asylum and killed 3 others. Martin says she claimed her dead father climbed out of her brain to protect her. Allie unties Martin and they run downstairs to Nintendo sounding music*

Warlock: What a mouthful.

America: We have 10 minutes to bring this to a conclusion.

*Martin and Allie find Roxy/Rachel. The male voice answers “Hello Martin.” Martin “I want to speak with Rachel.” A child’s voice answers. Roxy calls out for her father. “Daddy protects me.”

Warlock: This movie just got fucked.

*Preacher appears out of nowhere, the real name is Steven. Steven “Hello Martin.” Martin “Steven, you’re dead!”  Steven “Not anymore.” Steven screams and Allie runs away*

Warlock: I’m trying to figure out how any of this is happening and I doubt we’re gonna find out.

*Sarah walks up with a bat. Allie screams to look out. Sarah spots Steven coming and goes to confront him. Sarah swings and misses as Steven punches her eyes out. The ghost of Steven disappears*

Wallstreet: What a waste of beauty.

*Allie follows where Steven went. He appears on the staircase and disappears*

America: You’re being led somewhere. Better follow along.

*Allie finds Roxy who also disappears. Allie makes it to the roof of the building where Roxy goes to the edge. Roxy “I have to make it stop!” She jumps….splat*

Warlock: I give that dive a 6

*Two men in suits take Stewart’s statement. Barbie is being carted off. Allie is rocking back and forth, apparently possessed*

Wallstreet: I think we’re just as confused now as when we first started

*End credits*

Warlock: No explanation of the random hillbilly or how Stewart got away, no explanation of how a ghost is wandering around……good god.

Mr. Wallstreet’s assessment: Whatever happened to good movie writers? 5 out of 10

Mr. America’s assessment: Ughhhh, I’ll give it a……3 out of 10

The Warlock’s assessment: I’ll give it a 3. Plot was decent for the most part, the characters were actually developed and smart. Too much went wrong though.

Final Grade: 3.5 out of 10: Very poor

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Once again a movie tries to be good but ultimately fell short. Some of the characters were smart, the setting was creepy but there was too much garbage holding it back. That about wraps up Room 33, have a….

America: Aren’t you forgetting something?

Warlock: What?

*America points to the clock, 12:01 AM*

Warlock:….HAPPY NEW YEAR!

*Mr. Wallstreet emerges from the bathroom in a party hat, blowing on a streamer and runs in a circle. Mr. America removes his cammo hat and puts on a party hat. He pops open a nearby bottle of rum and pours 3 glasses. Warlock dons a party hat and everyone clinks their glasses together.

America and Wallstreet: *sings* Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mindddddddddd.

Warlock: Have a pleasant evening and happy new year!

72. Curtains (1983)

The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a Boston Celtics #13 Delonte West jersey, jeans and sneakers. He’s holding a bottle of Barq’s root beer*

Warlock: Welcome to my lair….welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock shoots fire into the sky and then walks into the lair*

Warlock: Tonight we begin the last 4 pack…

*Mr. America and Mr. Wallstreet both stand up and cheer*

Wallstreet: Yayyyy!

America: The torture is almost over.

*Wallstreet sits back down in the recliner, he’s wearing a standard suit. America is on the left side of the couch putting the dvd in. He’s also in standard attire*

Warlock: Movie number 1 or 5, depending how you look at it is Curtains. A slasher film from Canada that was filmed in 1980 but wasn’t released until 1983.

America: Is Curtains the final act? Is there an intermission? Should I piss now or wait?

Warlock: Very funny.

*Warlock sits on the right side of the couch*

Warlock: Let’s get this party started with CURTAINS.

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “Six young actresses auditioning for a movie role at a remote mansion are targeted by a mysterious masked murderer.”

Wallstreet: What else is new? Another masked murderer.

America: Take a number.

*Movie opens with 80’s graphics and credits*

Warlock: Simple and to the point, I like the sound of that.

America: This is definitely going to be a slasher.

*Movie opens with Samantha Sherwood (Samantha Eggar) acting a scene, the director Jonathan Stryker (John Vernon) is unimpressed. She asks what he thinks. He doesn’t answer*

America: You blew it.

*Samantha and Stryker visit Dr. Pendleton (Calvin Butler) who’s a fan of hers. Apparently Samantha is being committed in preparation for the role of Audra, a movie she’s going to be performing in. She attacks Stryker and the orderlies strap a straight jacket on her*

Warlock: Do the dislocating shoulder trick!

*Pendleton “I think you should leave.” Jonathan wants one last word with her. They hug and reveal their plot. Later on, Samantha hangs out with the happy home inmates (Theresa Tova, Janice Nicholsen, Patricia Carroll Brown, Julie Massie, Angela Carroll, Mary Durkin, Elaine Crosley, Anna Migliarese, Jenna Louise, Suzanne Russel, Katya Ladan, Frances Gunn, Sheila Currie, Kay Griffin, Virginia Leight, Janelle Hutchinson, Bunty Webb)*

America: How are they going to explain this?

*Jonathan visits Samantha who’s increasingly angry. She watches a movie of herself with everyone laughing at her*

Warlock: I’m sure it’ll be explained.

*Montage of Samantha actually going crazy after she reads that casting is underway for her role as Audra*

Warlock: Wow, what a dick.

*Patti O’Connor (Lynne Griffin) does standup comedy as Brooke Parsons (Linda Thorson) wants the role as well. Meanwhile Samantha has escaped from the asylum. Samantha burns the profile shots of all 6 girls auditioning for the role in a fire. A mysterious friend (Daisy White) helped her escape. Meanwhile Amanda Teuther (Deborah Burgess) is in her apartment alone preparing for bed wearing a Drew Pearson Cowboys jersey. She reads the script over a glass of wine as a masked burglar stalks her. The masked burglar is actually her husband Peter (Booth Savage) role playing to spice up the sex life*

Warlock: I’ll give credit for that.

*Amanda drives down the highway and spots a doll in the middle of the road*

America: That is a creepy ass doll.

Warlock: ITS ANNABELLE LOOK OUT!

*The doll comes alive and grabs Amanda. Someone gets in the car and runs her over….only for her to wake up, it was a nightmare all along. She asks for Peter but he’s not there. A masked killer stabs and kills Amanda for real*

Wallstreet: And who the hell was that?

America: I wanna know why the killer looks like a troll.

*We’re introduced to the other women Laurian Summers (Anne Ditchburn) and Tara DiMello (Sandee Curie). Patti stops for gas and the 12 year old attendant (Richie Pierce) checks her out with her noticing. He redeems himself and she drives off smiling*

Warlock: He’s gonna go jerk off now.

*Laurian, Patti, Tara, Brooke and Christie Burns (Lesleh Donaldson) are together. Brooke says she’d kill for the part. Tara said she’d fuck for the part. Patti said she’d sell her mother into slavery. Stryker “That shouldn’t be necessary, but I’ll keep in mind.”  He introduces his henchman Matthew (Michael Wincott). Samantha walks in uninvited. Matthew and Tara fuck in a jacuzzi*

Warlock: This is not the worst movie of all time.

*Stryker sneaks up on Samantha and she confronts him. Stryker admits he used her to buy the rights to Audra*

Warlock: What a heel

*Patti does an x-rated puppet show*

Warlock, America and Wallstreet: Hahahahahaha

America: Alright, I vote the stuffed dog is the best supporting actor.

Wallstreet: I second that.

Warlock: Wait a minute, I didn’t get a vote.

America: It doesn’t matter you’re overruled.

*Christie tries to bond but Patti and Brooke laugh her off. Christie leaves as Brooke and Patti watch Tara in the jacuzzi. Stryker and Samantha yell at each other as Christie listens to her. Stryker “What you heard was a scene for a play I wrote many years ago.”

Wallstreet: A likely story!

America: Sureeeeee

*Stryker leads Christie into a bedroom as Samantha plots. The killer prepares by sharpening a sickle. Stryker bangs Christie (unseen) and leaves. Samantha is pissed, Christie is sad*

Warlock: Poor baby.

America: What’s her problem?

Warlock: I think he just took advantage of her.

*Christie goes to a small pond to ice skate as Matthew looks on*

Warlock: She’s got a boom box.
*Christie plays a horrible 70’s soft rock song as she figure skates*

Warlock: Why couldn’t have it been “I Was Made For Lovin You”

America: That would have been cool.

Wallstreet: Would have bankrupted the movie paying royalties.

*The boom box is turned off and Christie goes to investigate*

Warlock: Thank you.

*She spots a hand in the ice*

America: The hell?

*Its the doll from earlier*

Warlock: THAT was going to be my vote for best supporting actor.

America: Nope, overruled.

*Christie stands the doll up when a figure behind her slowmotion skates. Someone wearing a mask pulls a sickle out and chases Christie still holding the doll. She screams*

Warlock: Why is she holding the doll? Throw it at her.

*The killer decapitates the doll then stabs Christie. Christie swings the doll at the killer and escapes into the woods. A minute and a half later, the killer finishes the job*

Warlock: Took forever but finally.

*The four remaining actresses wonder where Christie is and Stryker says she left on her own. He got a note under his door. Brooke is skeptical and Samantha storms in. She says she wants the part. Stryker tells her to take center stage. Stryker creepily asks her to be ugly for the group*

Warlock: I know what he means.

*Stryker throws the killer’s mask at her and makes her put it on. Stryker tells her to seduce him without touching or speaking. Stryker rips the mask off and points her face toward a mirror “This is a mask too.”

Warlock: That’s powerful.

*The real killer spots Matthew drinking and driving on a snow mobile*

Warlock: Bahahahaha

*Stryker kicks a stool over to Patti. She sits in it. She starts doing her comedy routine and Stryker walks around her. She explains she’s nervous*

Warlock: I think its funny.

*Stryker says she’s talented and she goes on a hellatious rant. After she screams she says “Are you enjoying yourself?” Stryker “I’m enjoying a little bit of Audra.”  He walks away, Patti “You bastard.”

Warlock: Nice character development.

*Stryker asks what Samantha is up to and where the mask is. She doesn’t know. Brooke is reading the script when she hears a noise*

America: You maybe next.

Wallstreet: You will be next!

*Brooke surprises herself in the mirror*

America: Huh?

*Laurian unbuttons the blouse of Tara, exposes her breast and nervously goes to grope her. Stryker pops up “No no no! You’re a man! Act like one”

Warlock: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I was about to say.

*Brooke goes to put nail polish on but hears a noise.  She finds Christie’s head in the toilet and screams. She runs to Stryker, Laurian and Tara. Stryker doesn’t believe her. Stryker opens the toilet and there’s nothing in there.*

Warlock: Ughhh, needs to be cleaned but there’s nothing in there.

*Stryker uses the paranoid Brooke’s vulnerability to get it on with her. Meanwhile Patti and Tara chat amongst themselves about what’s going on*

Warlock: Can we progress the story now?

*Samantha walks in on Stryker smoking in bed next to Brooke*

Warlock: This was before AIDS.

*Samantha has flashbacks of Stryker’s voice and smashes the mirror*

Wallstreet: Oh gosh, seven years bad luck.

*Laurian dances by herself as Tara wanders around. Wallstreet whistles along to the piano theme Laurian is dancing to. She is stabbed and killed by the killer*

America: So much for her.

*Someone walks upstairs carrying a gun. Tara looks around Stryker’s office. Brooke asks Stryker what Audra is like. The gunman shoots both Stryker and Brooke dead, both falling out the window. Tara freaks out and runs outside*

Warlock: That leaves her Patti and Samantha.

*Tara runs to her car covered in snow. She goes to start her car and it won’t start*

Warlock: How unusual.

*Tara shouts for Matthew, the camera shows him stabbed and drowned in the jacuzzi*

Warlock: I don’t think he’s going to help.

America: The suspense is NOT killing me.

*Tara wanders around the shed and finds a movie set. She opens the door of a taxi and it falls off*

America: Good job.

*Tara finds a tombstone with Audra on it*

Wallstreet: Oh its nothing, just a grave with Audra on it.

*Killer jumps out and whiffs on a tackle attempt*

Warlock: Tavon Wilson would have made that one.

*Killer collects itself and continues to stalk Tara. Tara fools the killer by placing her coat on a mannequin. She dropkicks the killer down*

Wallstreet: Its still breathing….its still alive.

America: Should have killed it right there.

*The killer pops up, Tara whacks it a bunch of times with a board*

America: Hacksaw Jim Duggan would be proud.

*Tara wades through a bunch of mannequins hanging by the neck*

Warlock: Why are they all hung?

America: Someone had way too much time on their hands.

*Tara spots the real body of Laurian hanging and makes a run for it*

Warlock: Look, curtains.

Wallstreet: Hence, the name of the movie!

*Tara hides in the air vent and waits for the killer to leave*

America: Not gonna work.

*Tara is dragged into the shaft and hacked to death*

America: Yup, called that one.

*Patti pops the cork on a champagne bottle and is startled by Samantha into dropping the bottle. She pops open another one and they discuss what Audra would have done. Samantha then tells Patti how she got committed and what she learned in there. Samantha says Stryker was fond of disciples. She tells Patti that Stryker is dead. She tells Patti to forget about Audra. Samantha says she killed Stryker. Patti pulls a knife and says the others are dead too. Patti stabs and kills Samantha. Next frame shows Patti as an inmate at the asylum performing as Audra. End credits*

America: You mean to tell me none of that ever happened?

Warlock: Nope. its implied she got locked up for killing everyone.

Wallstreet: At least its over.

Mr. Wallstreet’s assessment: This movie should have ended sooner. It dragged too long. 3 out of 10

Mr. America: Ughhh….this was absolutely stupid. I’m gonna go take a number 2, that’s what I think about it.

The Warlock’s assessment: I almost liked it, it was just too slow. It was a really an hour long movie that got stretched to 89 minutes and the ending was kind of lame. I give it a 4.5 out of 10

Final Grade: 3 out of 10: Garbage

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: That could have been great but it was very confusing. All in all it wasn’t too bad but it was horribly paced. That wraps up another craptastic adventure. Join us next time for the end of the 8 packs.

Wallstreet: I thought this was a four pack.

Warlock: YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYIN!

Wallstreet: Ok, ok.

Warlock: Have a pleasant evening.

71. Collision Course (1989)

<THREE DAYS EARLIER>

*The Warlock is on the right side of the couch reading Mad Magazine. Mr. Wallstreet is on the laptop*

Wallstreet: If you don’t want to start the next 4 pack, we could always watch one of the Reaction and Review movies. You think Emer would mind?

Warlock: More than likely.

Wallstreet: Hold on.

*Wallstreet looks up and down*

Wallstreet: What about Kickassia?

Warlock: Not interested.

Wallstreet: What about Violent Shit?

Warlock: Don’t need any garbage from Germany.

Wallstreet: What about A Serbian Film?

Warlock: Don’t need any garbage from Serbia.

Wallstreet: What about Boku No Pico?

Warlock: HELL no!

Wallstreet: Tokyo Gore Police?

Warlock: Don’t need anything from Japan. We have enough crap in the States.

Wallstreet: Collision Course?

*Warlock stops*

Warlock: Isn’t that the buddy cop movie?

Wallstreet: I don’t know, just reading a list here.

Warlock: Hmmmm, maybe it won’t be so bad. Put it on the list.

Wallstreet: Ordering it now.

<PRESENT DAY>

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair wearing a white t-shirt, sneakers, black leather jacket, gargoyle shades and blue jeans*

Warlock: Welcome to my lair….welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock makes the building rumble before walking inside*

Warlock: Tonight we blatantly steal a movie that’s been done someone else. Collision Course was a 1989 Buddy-Cop movie that tried to take Lethal Weapon and Tango & Cash to a new level.

*Mr America is sitting on the left side of the couch wearing standard attire putting the dvd into the player*

Mr. America: But it….failed.

*Mr. Wallstreet is in the recliner wearing his standard suit*

Wallstreet: Hey it could be good, you never know.

Warlock: That’s the spirit!

*Warlock takes his seat on the right side of the couch*

Warlock: So let’s see if COLLISION COURSE sucks or not.

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “A Japanese investigator and a Detroit cop team up to track down a stolen prototype turbocharger.”

America: A what?

*Movie begins with a car crash and opening credits*

America: Boooooo, that was horrible. A sound effect?

*Tony Costas (Jay Leno) drives around and we get an aerial view of Detroit set to Runnin’ by The Whispers*

America: This view SUCKS!

*Costats challenges two black guys (Greg Wayne Elam and Chuck Cooper) to a drag race. Suddenly the cops show up and pull Costas over and not the drag racers. Officer Bell (Sharon O’Brian) asks for his license and registration, he pulls out his badge. He says he’s been working on the bust for months. He then uses detective talk to steal Bell’s phone number. The other officer (Bruce Kirkpatrick) protests*

Warlock: Wow, what an asshole.

*Investigator Fujitsuka Natsuo (Pat Morita) walks into Kitao’s (Soon-Tek Oh) office. Kitao says Oshima (Danny Kamekona) stole a turbocharger in Detroit and Natsuo will go catch him*

Warlock: Hey that’s Danny Kamekona, he and Pat Morita were together in Karate Kid part 2.

*Oshima drives to the docks to find Philip Madras (Chris Sarandon). Kosnic (Randall “Tex” Cobb) headbutts him against a car driven by Scully (Tom Noonan). Kosnic ties up Oshima and Scully says Madras gave him power of attorney*

Warlock: Tom Noonan represent!

*Kosnic punches out Oshima. They lift him up using a crane. Scully says give him the prototype or they drop him. Oshima has a heart attack and dies while in the air. Kosnic “He’s dead.” Scully  “Nah he’s playing possum”

Wallstreet: Watch, he pops up and beats the crap out of them.

*Kosnic laughs as Scully figures out he’s dead. Madras shows up and tells them both to shut up. He says to find the prototype or else*

Warlock: Lot of good actors in this.

*A crane dropping Oshima’s car with him inside it drops the car into the crusher. The junkyard worker Mac (Jack Poggi) protests and Scully shoots him with an M-79*

Wallstreet: What the?

Warlock: An M-79, nice!

*We get a montage of Detroit’s street life with Natsuo riding in a taxi cab*

Wallstreet: Must be the red light district.

*Shortcut (Ernie Hudson) leads Costas up the stairs of a tenement building. They barge in on a dude only Shortcut forgot the warrant. The dude says he’s guilty and to arrest him. Costas then pulls out the real warrant and he stops laughing*

Warlock: Hahaha faked him out.

*Homicide detective says Mac was shot with a Gyrojet rocketgun*

Warlock: Now they’re making up shit.

*Dingman (Al Waxman) says Oshima was killed by drunk racist autoworkers but Costas isn’t buying it*

Warlock: That’s lousy detective work.

*Natsuo investigates Oshima’s hotel room and finds a film cannister*

America: I found a clueeeee!

*Natsuo finds the blueprint of the prototype but then hides as Costas runs in to investigate*

America: Ransacked!

*Costas goes to leave then shuts the door. Holds up his gun and catches Natsuo. He turns the lights on and off to annoy Costas*

Wallstreet: Hahaha

*Natsuo kicks Costas and runs for it. Costas calls security and tells them to hold anyone that looks different*

America: Wow, my how times have changed.

Wallstreet: Political correctness in the 1980’s was nonexistent.

*Costas rides an elevator as Natsuo rides in the opposite one. Costas welcomes everyone off the elevator as Natsuo is disguised as a garment bag*

Wallstreet: Hahaha

Warlock: How could he even see?

America: Who knows.

*Costas kicks a luggage suitcase that latches into the revolving door, trapping Natsuo*

Warlock: Really?

*Costas goes to book Natsuo. Costas goes up to Dingman “Remember the dead Japanese guy we found?” Dingman “Yeah, is this the guy?” Costas “No you pinhead!”

Warlock: Wow…….how stupid can you be?

America: How did he make it through the academy?

*Dingman tells Costas to stay off the case. Lieutenant  Ryerson (John Hancock) is intrigued. Ryerson yells at Dingman to question to prisoner. Ryerson says Costas is in Robbery so stick to Robbery. Meanwhile Dingman says he talks some Jap. “Toyota!”

Warlock: They’d never get away with this dialogue now.

*Natsuo identifies himself as a Tokyo police officer. “Read my rips!”

Wallstreet: Wow.

*Dingman brings Natsuo into Ryerson’s office and says Costas just started an international incident. Kitao calls and Dingman says he called Tokyo to confirm the story. Kitao speaks Japanese but Ryerson can’t handle it so he hands the phone to Natso. Kitao shouts in Japanese “STUPID! You were supposed to find Oshima, not get yourself arrested!” Natsuo talks in Japanese and Costas provides subtitles. Ryerson “Will you shut up?”

Wallstreet and Warlock: Hahahahaha

*Kitao orders him to back off and not to tell them anything, Natsuo hangs up on him. Natsuo explains how Oshima embezzled money and Costas insults him. Ryerson throws him out. Costas tells Shortcut to dig up dirt on Oshima and Natsuo. Shortcut says if he gets fired and loses his pension, the wife and kids move in with Costas. Costas says his wife is apiece of ass. Shortcut “A man’s wife is sacred!”

Warlock: Really?

*Costas does a stakeout outside the hotel but is awoke by construction. Costas follows him all over town to a cheesy, catchy 80’s stock music. Natsuo drops off the film canister and is told the pictures wll be ready in an hour. Costas confronts the picture lady and asks for the film and her home phone number. She says the film will be ready in an hour. Natsuo leaves in a purple cab*

America: Yeah that won’t be hard to miss.

*Natsuo notices Costas is following him and leaves the cab and gets in another one*

Wallstreet: Hahaha

Wallstreet: Oooh

America: Ahhhh

*Jarryd sees a picture of an Asian man and says he’ll be out of a job*

Warlock: Wow…

*Jarryd confronts Madras who tells him the deal is off because of Oshima’s threat. Jarryd says he can get the police on the phone if Madras to back off. Scully shows up and points a gun at him. Madras says Jarryd is out and he’s just a puppet. Madras says Scully will be watching over him at Jarryd Motors*

Warlock: There’s your movie heels.

*Natsuo is charged 14 dollars by picture lady. He says she has a $15 dollar smile and tells her to keep the change. Meanwhile Costas is disguised behind her and take the pictures. Costas then follows Natsuo to Jarryd Motors. Natsuo rides in on a 4-wheeler as Costas tells the guard (Frank Patton) to let him in. Once inside another guard (Richard Gant) tells him where to look for the secret room*

Warlock: Goes from incompetent guard to George Washington Duke in one year.

America: Who?

Warlock: Nevermind.

*Natsuo uses an old computer to look up the prototype. Costas goes to arrest him and Natsuo says Oshima wasn’t embezzling. Costas says he’ll find the man that shot his friend. While riding, they spot a robbery and Costas cuffs him to the steering wheel as he chases off after the mugger (James E Carter)

America: You lost him, good job.

*Natsuo wipes out the mugger with a trash can lid and cuffs him. Natsuo says they’re partners now. Costas says he’s gone one chance to prove himself*

Wallstreet: Heh.

*Costas and Natsuo share bonding moments with corny jokes while drinking. Natsuo “BANZAI!” Costas “BANZAI!”*

Warlock: This is silly.

*Natsuo “I tell you shit. I tell you ALL the shit”

Warlock: Hahaha

*Natsuo tells his story but Costas misses it.  Costas slaps Natsuo around and asks about Oshima. Natsuo passes out in an old KFC box and Costas can’t wake him.He wakes up on the floor as Natsuo has the whole place tidied up. Costas “Where are we?” Natsuo says Jarryd Motors is the place they need to go. Natsuo says Costas needs a wife and Costas sits him on his lap and says they need to live together first*

Wallstreet: I give you a 5 second headstart!

*Costas and Natsuo drive past run down and blown up buildings and say Detroit’s gone to shit*

Warlock: Sad part is, ITS STILL LIKE THAT. Its been 26 years since the movie came out, all that rubble you see is probably still there.

America: Doesn’t help the city went bankrupt.

*Costas says its the Japenese fault for taking over the auto industry*

Warlock: The aftermath of Gung Ho with Michael Keaton.

*Natsuo “You blame all Japanese for Detroit.” Costas “No, just blame you…and ourselves for getting fat and letting it happen”

Warlock: Good point.

*Natsuo and Costas check out the car expo and get rejected by the car  announcer girl (Claudia Abel)*

Warlock: Rejected!

*Natsuo drops Oshima’s name and Mr. Jarryd acts stunned. Scully shows up and gives Natsuo a purposely hard handshake. Natsuo says “owner of company should not be treated like piece of shit. We should follow tall, skinny fellow* Costas “Where did you pick up that language?”

America: Gee I wonder where.

*Natsuo and Costas follow Scully and Scully spots them. He calls Madras and he tells Scully to play it cool and don’t do anything. Natsuo and Costas follow him to a bowling alley after Scully pulls a u-turn. The bowling alley patrons confront him about the Japanese taking over America. Kosnic starts a brawl*

Warlock: This is highly unentertaining.

*Natsuo is cornered by Kosnic and Natsuo says “Karate!” Kosnic laughs “Karate this” and shoves him into a wooden fence*

Warlock: Daniel-San can’t save him now.

*Natsuo drops bowling ball on Kosnic’s foot and crawls away. Costas “I found the only guy from Japan that doesn’t know karate.” Natsuo “That’s not true. My brother doesn’t know it either.”

Wallstreet: Heh!

*Natsuo is honored that Costas tried to save him. He tells him Oshima stole the turbocharger and wanted to make a deal with Jarryd. Costas calls Shortcut and Shortcut says Sully is bad news and runs a survivalist camp. They find his address and come up to the door. Natsuo loves how the house looks. He asks if they need a warrant and Costas says “No, probable cause.” They barge in and the alarm goes off. Natsuo says they need to hurry before someone calls the cops. Costas says “No, when someone hears an alarm they say “Turn that shit off!”  Sure enough, 2 seconds later someone outside shouts “Turn that shit off.” Costas and Natsuo both wave to the irate patron*

Warlock and Wallstreet: Hahahaha

*Natsuo and Costas stumble upon the assault rifle collection. Natsuo “Holy shit-to!”

Wallstreet: Hah!

*Sully drives home and sees the house broken into. Natsuo steals a grenade and Scully calls Madras. Madras tells him to get rid of the murder weapon. Costas finds the gyrojet gun blueprint. Natsuo finds the gun and the ammo.  Scully reaches into his trunk and pulls out a bazooka. He blows the house away just as Natsuo and Costas escape just in time. Scully puts on a bulletproof vest and fires an assault shotgun at them. Costas hands the gyrojet to Natsuo and says cover him. Natsuo says they don’t use guns. Costas tags Scully and says he got him. Scully is unfazed*

Warlock: Did he not SEE him wearing a vest?

*Scully chases them onto a train that stops. Natsuo takes the shipping manifest off a nearby crate and wraps it around the grenade. Scully shoots at them with a machine gun. Costas tosses out the gyrojet gun and says he’s got the plans for the turbocharger. Costas takes the pin out and tosses the grenade out. Scully stands over it…KABOOM! Natsuo “Now your friend avenged”

Warlock: So much for Scully.

*Natsuo hits the recall button on Scully’s car phone and finds the number going to the Free Clinic. Costas and Natsuo go to the Free Clinic where Philip Madras is giving a speech, Costas recognizes him. Kosnic spots the duo and they spot him.  Costas taunts Madras about his criminal activity until he and Natsuo are hauled off by the cops. Kitao shouts at Natsuo as Costas is relieved of his badge. He tells Ryerson the gun is his. Meanwhile Ryerson has Natsuo arrested. Costas slips Natsuo a key and Dingman hauls Natsuo away. Natsuo says he has to go to the bathroom where he makes his escape. Costas is outside waiting for him. They drive off and Kosnic follows them. Natsuo looks at the pictures and says they’re nothing but family pictures. Then as Natsuo dances on the dance floor at a club, Costas takes a look and spots something. He goes and tells Natsuo that the  picture was taken in Detroit, not Tokyo. They go back to the photo lady (Angela Leslie) and they figure out the picture was taken at a local street gang’s hideout. Costas and Natsuo make their way to the hideous. Costas says the prototype is in there. Natsuo says they have probable cause to get into the building*

Warlock: He’s learning.

*Kosnic waits outside and radios Madras. They confront a mechanic (Akira Sana) who tell him Oshima had been there. Meanwhile Madras and his men show up and ask the mechanic where the prototype is. Mechanic says the prototype is in Oshima’s car. Madras goes to shoot the mechanic but Natsuo dumps a cage on him. Costas shoots and kills Kosnic as he and Natsuo take off on a motorbike. A really bad chase scene commences and Madras plows through a fruit stand. They commandeer an old lady’s car*

America: Don’t worry they’re on wholesale.

*Natsuo and Costas drive through a truck and crash*

Warlock: That chase scene ended with a bang.

*Bloodied Natsuo and Costas escape the car but Madras shoots Costas in the leg*

Warlock: They shot Jay Leno!

America: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

*Madras goes to run over Natsuo but he yells screams and dropkicks through the windshield, killing Madras. Costas limps and pulls Natsuo off before the car explodes*

America: Knew that was coming.

Warlock: Anybody got any marshmellows.

*At the hospital, Natsuo says if Jarryd had any values he’d commit suicide. Costas says in America you hire the best lawyer you can find. As a gift, Costas gets a package from Bell. Costas hands it to Natsuo, its the prototype. Costas bows to Natsuo who gives Costas the arm and the elbow*

Warlock: Bahahaha

*End credits*

Warlock: Another catchy tune.

Wallstreet’s assessment: I love this movie! I give it an 8 out of 10

America’s assessment: I’ll give it a 6.5

Warlock’s assessment: I’ll give it a 6. I thought it was going to be worse but it wasn’t. It was incredibly cheesy but it did have a point. The buddy cop thing was played to death at this point in 1989.

Final Grade: 6.5 out of 10: Very good

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Well I’m pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to be extra cheesy and silly. It was but it had good enough moments to make it worth watching. Not the greatest but not the worst either. Well that about wraps up another craptastic adventure, have a pl…

*Wallstreet butts in*

Wallstreet: We doing Salo, the 120 days of Sodom?

*Warlock stares blankly at him*

Warlock: NO!

*Wallstreet puts his hands up*

Wallstreet: Ok, ok.

Warlock: *turns to the camera* Have a pleasant evening.

70. Arcade (1993)

<THREE DAYS EARLIER>

*The Warlock is on a Skype call with The Mysterious Benefactor*

Warlock: We still got one four pack to go but that’s not until Mr. Wallstreet gets back from Florida. We need something for America and I to tie us over.

TMB: I got something for you two, one of my favorites. Also, something you’ve always wanted to see.

Warlock: How do you know that?

TMB: Because I told you about it when we were kids.

Warlock: There were a lot of movies I wanted to see back then.

TMB: Yeah, and this one was tops. I’ll send it to you.

<PRESENT DAY>

*The Warlock is standing outside of his lair. He’s wearing a black leather jacket, t-shirt, gargoyle shades, white sneakers and blue jeans. He waits for a package from Darnell the Deliveryman. Darnell shows up and throws it at him in disgust before leaving*

Warlock: Nice to see you too…jerk.

*Warlock walks into his lair, Mr. America is in the recliner wearing his standard attire*

America: Wallstreet’s still in Florida, what are we watching today?

Warlock: Not the next 4 pack. We’ve been sent a movie that supposedly I wanted years ago.

America: What is it?

Warlock: Let’s find out.

*Warlock opens the package, goes bug eyed and drops it on the floor. He collapses next to it*

America: For god’s sake man, it can’t be that bad.

*America gets up and picks up the open package. The movie Arcade comes out*

America: What is this?

Warlock: Arcade…..I don’t believe it….Arcade.

America: What’s so special about this?

Warlock: When I was 7 years old this movie came out and I’ve always wanted to see it. Never got a chance to see it. I’ve been after this for 20 years. Its supposed to be about a video game come to life.

*America puts the DVD into the player then sits back in the recliner. Warlock gathers himself and sits on the right side of the couch*

Warlock: 20 years of hype, let’s see if ARCADE delivers.

America: If you say so

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “A virtual reality game begins taking over the minds of teenagers.”

America: So like cell phones of today?

*Opening graphic reads Full Moon Entertainment*

Warlock: Hey! Full Moon! We got a chance this won’t suck.

*Opening credits have no music, just strobe effect*

America: That could be a good thing or a bad thing.

*Greg, Stilts, Nick (Peter Billingsley) and nerdy turd head off to the boadwark arcade Dante’s Inferno*

Warlock: Better than disco inferno. By the way, that’s Ralphie from A Christmas Story.

America: Oh that’s great its in some weird industrial basement. Good call on Ralphie

*Glasses kid says virtual reality is the wave of the future*

America: You kidding me? Its been 22 years since this movie came out and we’re still way off from that being developed.

*Big tough guy picks on Stilts who’s half his size. Stilts runs into him head first*

America: What did he expect to do with that?

Mr Finster (Don Stark) breaks them apart, slaps Stilts across the face and big tough guy laughs*

Warlock: Its Bob from That 70’s Show

*Big tough guy insults Arcade (Jonathan Fuller) and Mr. Difford (John De Lancie) says “oooh scary”

Warlock: Its Q from Star Trek!

America: Alright!

*Difford introduces Arcade and says the crowd is going to be the market research. Nicks asks how Arcade is different. Difford says its secret is the AI. Nick says he’s the best. Nick asks if he dies, is it for real or game? Difford doesn’t answer. He plugs Nick in and its gametime*

America: Oh boy.

*Really bad CGI Arcade face says “I am the future!”

Warlock: Could have had better CGI.

*Laurie (AJ Langer) askd what Arcade is doing. Difford says its memorizing his features. Arcade warns Nick to keep it moving or he sends in the screamer. More bad CGI*

Warlock: Is it like Doom?

America: Kind of.

*Nick gets a rush as a big yellow ball of energy gets him. Nick steps out “You got to try this.” Greg wants next game. Difford “Let’s see if you’re tougher than your friend.” Difford invites the mass to free console versions of the game leaving Greg by himself*

America: Oh they left him alone.

Warlock: Something’s going to screw up.

*Difford says Arcade will be released within the month. Arcade “This is my world, you’re apart of my world. Greg screams and Arcade gets him. “Welcome…Greg.”  Alex checks on him and he’s gone*

America: I thought his mind was supposed to be taken over, not fucking take the body over.

*Alex asks Stacy (Alexandria Byrne) where Greg is. She doesn’t know. The others assume he left. Outside Alex is concerned and Nick says everything’s ok.*

Warlock: This is ridiculous, the guy fuckin disappeared.

*Alex goes home*

Warlock: That’s actually a nice car.

*Alex’s father Burt (Todd Starks) is passed out on the couch. She asked if Greg called, he groggily says no*

Warlock: Real winner that one.

*Alex looks at her picture collage of herself and her mother (Sharon Farrell) before calling Greg*

America: So this is supposed to be top of the line home gaming console, it looks like its inside a shoebox. No plastic wrap, no great logo. Just wow..

Warlock: Its a prototype.

America: So? It still should have protection. It explains why its trying to kill people, it arrives broke!

*Alex plugs in and Arcade says Greg is in there and he won Greg’s soul. He challenges Alex to join them. In game world,the players wear all black with black helmets. She lasts about 30 seconds before she quits and Arcade taunts her. Its now past midnight even though she plugged in 5 minutes ago. She calls Greg;s house and his mom says he’s not home. Arcade says he’s never coming home. She calls Nick and he says its her problem. Arcade “He’s in here bitch!”

Warlock: So far Arcade is the best character in the movie.

*Alex pulls the plug on the game and hears her mom’s voice. She walks to Nick’s house who’s plugged in and playing Arcade. She climbs through the window. Nick says he can feel life as Alex is scared about Greg. Alex “Something’s happened to him”

Warlock: Nooooooo, really?

*Nick reluctantly shuts the game off. Alex says Arcade said her name and that Greg was in there. Nick doesn’t believe her.*

Warlock: They never believe it.

*Nick calls Alex paranoid and Alex says he’s just like her father. Alex says the game is alive but Nick is skeptical. Alex says to call Stilts before she leaves. He gets a busy signal*

America: Convenient

*Laurie also has a bus signal. Alex says to try the nerdy turd named Benz (Brandon Rane) also a busy signal. Alex wonders how all 3 of them could be busy. Nick is still skeptical*

Warlock: He’ll find out shortly.

*Next morning Stilts and Nick have locker room talk before Alex shows up. Greg, Benz and Laurie are nowhere to be found. Big tough guy is named DeLoache (BJ Barie) and he’s gone too. Alex says they need to find everyone. Nick is still skeptical. Nick and Alex says they’ll look for them as Stilts taunts them. Tells Stilts not to watch any tv*

America: Hey that’s a very valid question, but I have the shoot first and ask questions later approach when it comes to monsters.

*Nick pulls up to Laurie’s house and tells Alex to wait there, Alex refuses. Nobody answers the door so they go around back*

America: Hey you forgot your sunglasses!

*Nick and Alex make it around back*

America: You are so lucky they don’t have a mean dog.

*Laurie is in front of the static tv. Alex smashes the window with a stick*

Warlock: Oh beautiful, breaking and entering.

*Nick asks “What the fuck?” as Laurie is all fucked up. Alex goes to shut the game off and Laurie freaks completely out. Alex sees Greg in the TV and Arcade taunts him. Nick sees it too. “Alex if you don’t play the game by my rules, I’ll come play in your world.”

Warlock: Now you get it Nick?

*Laurie has somewhat of an orgasm as a weird bright light knocks her down. A weird wind pushes Alex and Nick out the door*

Warlock: Nobody in the neighborhood sees this?

*Nick takes a coatrack and smashes the tv with it. Laurie speaks in Arcade’s voice and then drops. Nick says to split and Alex says not without Laurie. They turn around and she’s gone*

America: Good job, now they have kidnapping and breaking and entering.

*Alex says they need to go find whoever designed the game. They find Difford’s office. The receptionist (David Sederholm) stonewalls them but Nick threatens with a juicy lawwsuit and the receptionist tells Difford to get out there now*

Warlock: Love how the game developers are conveniently in town and not in Japan or the other side of the country.

*Difford comes out and Alex says the game is possessed. He brings the duo into his office. He says lets go meet the developer, Albert (Norbert Weisser). He’s just as insane as Laurie was. Difford leaves as Albert asks what’s wrong. Albert lets it slip that the game changes the rules. Albert takes them inside the game and how its played. Alex asks how to beat it and Albert says you need the 6 keys to open Arcade’s heart to escape his brain. Albert says no one’s been able to do it. Albert says you can’t stop the screamer, if he gets you…you’re dead*

Warlock: Awww, isn’t that too bad?

*Albert tells them how to play the game. Albert says he programmed it using human brain cells. Alex says that’s how it came alive. Nick says they’re going to beat it. Albert says its just a game, just push the escape button. Alex “What if the escape button doesn’t work?”

Warlock: Yeah, valid question.

*Alex asks where Nick where he wants to play the game, he doesn’t answer*

America: She’s talking to you Nick!

*Nick says Dante’s Inferno. That’s where it started and that’s where it will end*

Warlock: Cheesy but at least its consistent.

*Nick tries to start it, it won’t work. Alex “Is it plugged in?”

Warlock: Yeah that might help.

*Nick puts money in for himself, Alex says she wants to play too. Nick says she needs to run”

America: Either she’s really crappy and a human shield, or she’s good and ya beat the game. Either way you can’t lose.

*Arcade taunts Alex using her past to taunt her. They enter the game slowly*

America: Get up, you’re wasting time!

*Nick and Alex walk along slowly*

America: They’re taking a lot longer than 55 seconds.

*Nick and Alex find the green key*

Warlock: That was too easy.

*Nick opens the door and it leads outside. Alex says press on. Really bad CGI pyramids show up. Nick spots the yellow light and runs. He’s bleeding for real. Suddenly Benz screams for help in an open construction site*

Warlock: That looks like the abandoned construction site from Dollman.

America: You maybe right actually

*Benz sinks in a hole when Alex could have easily saved him*

Warlock: What was that, she had him?

*Alex spots her mother and then a giant CGI monster “kills” Nick. She drops down the hole Benz sank in. Meanwhile in the real world Albert has saved Nick. Nick tells Albert to get Alex out of there and he says he can’t, she’s on her own*

Warlock: Here you go America, she’s gonna have to win it.

*Laurie and Stilts are the boatmen. They tell her a riddle*

America: This is so stupid.

*Alex outsmarts Stilts and gets the key to level 3. Alex asks Laurie what happened and she breaks character to say she lost. Meanwhile and absolutely random young boy (Humberto Ortiz) shows up and Alex gets a free life for saving him. They enter the city of the truth*

Warlock: That was ridiculous.

*Alex “There’s a monster here, we’re gonna have to kill him before we leave.”

America: Pfft

Warlock: Good grief

*Level 5 has a big, bad CGI chase scene leading to Alex getting to level 6 with the kid. She shouts where Arcade is and the boy turns into him. Nick “Jesus christ the kid is Arcade. Albert, do something you asshole!” Arcade reveals the little boy was the donor that donated his brain cells after his mother murdered him. Arcade was created out of that and now Alex’s soul is his. She grabs the mechanical heart and she gets shocked*

Warlock: How shocking.

*Alex wakes up wearing all white in her house*

Warlock: Something’s up.

*Alex walks up to her mother who’s alive*

Warlock: What?

America: Remember? Final level is real world?

*Alex says she had the worst nightmare and says she dreamt she was dead. Mom says she is. She then shoots herself in the head and comes back to life to say she’s going to take Alex to heaven. Alex is shot in the head and Arcade says “Game over, you failed!” Arcade taunts Alex until Alex uses the free life she had picked up when she got zapped. Arcade screams “Nooo! I play by my rules.” Alex throws the mechanical heart into Arcade which apparently destroys him. Alex wakes up and Nick, Albert, Greg are there. She hugs Greg. Stilts, Laurie and Benz leave with them as well. Greg asks Alex how she did it. Nick says it a long story. Alex asks if they all made it out, maybe Arcade did too. They walk off as Albert stands and ponders*

Warlock: This can’t be the end…something’s gonna happen.

*Greg drops Alex off at her house. She turns and sees Arcade standing there. “Right here bitch! Kiss reality goodbye!”

America: Ughhhh

*End credits*

America’s assessment:  I’ll give it a 4. It actually had an interesting and cohesive plot.

Warlock’s assessment: I give it a 5. A list actors saved it from being a complete turd. Technology and proper CGI wasn’t there just yet.

Final Grade: 4.5 out of 10: Below Average

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: 20 years of hype does not deliver. It had the actors, it had the plot but the technology wasn’t there yet. Charles Band was onto something but he was 6 years too soon. Still, the movie isn’t a waste of time and it does have its moments.

America: If that’s what you waited 20 years for, you have some seriously bad taste in movies.

Warlock: Who asked you? Anyway that about wraps up another craptastic adventure. Hopefully next time will be good. Have a pleasant evening.

69. Elf (2003)

*When we last left off The Warlock had been visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future. He got a grim view of what his future looked like if he didn’t change his ways.  Dressed as Scrooge himself, he hopped into his car and was on his way to see Neyzor Blades. He pulls up outside her residence in his 1958 Plymouth Fury and runs out. Hes wearing a black, buttoned trench coat, scarf, dress pants, dress shoes and a large top hat. He’s also carring a cane. He walks up to the door smiling and knocks on the door. He changes his expression when she opens it.

Warlock: Neyz I demand to be let in!

Neyz: Go away Warlock I don’t need your bullshit today. Its Christmas.

*Warlock giggles then turns serious*

Warlock: Now see here young lady. You will open this door at once!

Neyz: Oh for the love of…

*Neyz appears in the doorway in her pajamas and her jaw drops when she sees him*

Neyz: What the hell are you wearing?

Warlock: That’s not important. Can I come in?

Neyz: You look ridiculous, sure, why not.

*Neyz allows Warlock inside. He enters Neyz’ residence removes his scarf and top hat and smiles while walking behind her. She turns and his face grows serious*

Warlock: Now hear this. On this spirited day I say we shall watch a movie together.

Neyz: Fine! If it’ll get you to leave me alone I’ll watch your damn movie.

Warlock: Splendid! Now I demand you to put in Elf immediately!

Neyz: Oh I demand you to kiss my…wait, what?

Warlock: You heard me. Put in Elf immediately!

Neyz: Did you just say…

*Warlock cracks a smile and holds up the Elf dvd*

Warlock: Yes…Merry Christmas my dear.

*He opens his arms and she hugs him close*

Neyz: Oh honey. I thought you didn’t care.

Warlock: Let’s just say I had an….interesting night to say the least. Anyway lets snuggles.

*Neyz puts the dvd in her player as Warlock sheds his coat, hat, cane and scarf as they cram onto her couch. He holds her close as she pushes play*

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity”

Neyz: Sounds like my life.

*Movie opens with Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) says we don’t know a lot about elves*

Warlock: Good call Bob.

*Elves set tree on fire and make toys*

Warlock and Neyz: Hahahaha

*Papa Elf “They tried using gnomes and trolls but the gnomes drank too much and the trolls weren’t toilet trained*

Warlock: Bahahahaha

*Papa Elf says 30 years ago the story began. Opening credits*

Warlock: Cuts off the run time, good.

*Nun puts baby Buddy in his crib when Santa (Ed Asner) shows up*

Warlock: Heyyyyy Ed Asner!

Neyz: Who?

Warlock: Nevermind.

*Elves dance around like morons as Santa says they’ve had a successful year. Santa notices one of the babies from the orphanage had escaped his crib and snuck in his sack. Santa left Papa Elf with the task of raising Buddy (Will Ferrell).  Buddy towers over everyone in Elf class*

Neyz: That’s like me in class. I’m taller than everyone.

*Papa Elf says less people believe in Santa because the rumor is the parents put the presents under the tree. Papa shows off the Kringle 3000 super sleigh*

Warlock: I’ll drive that.

*Papa says Buddy had some drawbacks as a human being in an Elf’s world. Ming Ming (Peter Billingsley) tells him he’s over 900 short on making Etch and Sketch’s. Ming Ming tells him he’s special and Buddy goes sad face. Next frame has him opening Jack in the Box’s*

Neyz: That’s your job, quality control.

Warlock: I wonder if Jack Attack is in there?

*Buddy overhears Ming Ming saying he’s a human. He has a nightmare montage before running outside to cgi snowflakes*

Warlock: Look at the cgi snowflakes.

Neyz: He could use some cgi snowflakes here.

*Buddy retreats to the toilet where Papa tells him to come out. Papa tells him his father Walter (James Caan) gave him up when his mother Susan (Jane Bradbury) passed away. He tells Buddy his father lives in NYC. He runs into Leon the Snowman (Leon Redbone)*

Warlock: That’s Leon Redbone…..Walking Stick.

Neyz: I thought it was Burl Ives.

Warlock: Yeah, 40 years ago.

*Santa tells Buddy not to go to peep shows in New York City*

Neyz: Hahahahaha

*Santa tells Buddy that Walter is on the naughty list*

Neyz: An asshole!

*Papa Elf wishes Buddy well on his journey to New York*

Neyz: Awww he’s sad.

*Buddy walks through central park and a raccoon hisses at him before jumping on him*

Warlock: They that aggressive?

*Montage of Buddy dressed as an Elf  walking around New York. He sees a sign on the door that says “world’s greatest cup of coffee”, runs into the coffee shop and congratulates the confused staff*

Warlock: Heh.

*Buddy runs in a circle around a revolving door then pukes in a nearby garbage can*

Warlock: We’ve all done that before.

*Walter works in the Empire State Building*

Warlock: Yeah, sure.

*A gentleman gets in an elevator and Buddy presses all the buttons*

Warlock: Poor guy.

*Buddy walks in and tells the secretary he’s here to see Walter. She lets him in and he says “DAD!” Walter naturally shrugs him off*

Warlock: Yeah this is going to end well.

*Buddy mentions his mother was Susan Welles and Walter has him thrown out of the building*

Warlock: Jerk

*Buddy is run over by a taxi on his way to Gimbel’s*

Neyz: They don’t stop for shit in New York

Warlock: No they don’t, I’ve been there.

*Buddy is confused by an escalator and shouts at someone in a bathroom stall*

Warlock: Some people don’t like that.

*Gimbel’s Manager (Faizon Love) mistakes Buddy for an employee. The Manager says Santa will be here and Buddy shouts in excitement*

Warlock: Hahahaha

Neyz: That’s Lady T in a nutshell.

*Buddy meets Jovie (Zooey Deschanel) who blows him off*

Warlock: She’s the only actress I know who is cast as someone who hates everybody in all her movies.

*The lights go off in Gimbels and Buddy spends the whole night turning the place into a Christmas wonderland*

Warlock: I like the jazz soundtrack.

*Walter’s wife Emily (Mary Steenburgen) and son Michael (Daniel Tay) ask what’s wrong with him. Walter goes to his room and looks at his old yearbooks of him and Susan*

Warlock: Good development.

*Buddy hears Jovie singing in the shower and Buddy joins in. Jovie yellsat him*

Neyz and Warlock: Hahahaha

*Walter walks by Gimbel’s and sees Buddy sleeping in the window*

Warlock: Hahahaha

*Buddy is thrown out of the building by the security team as Gimbel’s Manager is shocked at what Buddy did*

Warlock: Haha!

*Jovie says she was here early because her water got shut off. Buddy says he was here all night setting up. Manager is ecstatic and Buddy tells Jovie she has the most beautiful singing voice*

*Gimbel’s Santa (Artie Lang) waves to the crowd but Buddy quickly recognizes that he’s not the real Santa. He sits a kid on his lap and Buddy says not to trust him because he’s a liar*

Warlock: LIAR!

*Buddy rips off his beard and he gets tackled and wrestled to the ground as the kids scream. Artie chases Buddy around until he’s tackled by the Manager*

Warlock: He was an offensive lineman in The Replacements

*Walter opens a box from Buddy and is confused when he sees the negligee Buddy got him*

Warlock: Everytime I see James Caan open a package, all I think about is The Godfather. If only Tessio was over his shoulder saying Santa Clause sleeps with the penguins.

*Secretary barges in and says the police are on line one. We cut to jail where Buddy sits by himself. Walter bails him out and Buddy is ecstatic. Walter thinks its a set up and Buddy plays it off as genuine. They go see a doctor (Jon Favreau) and Buddy eats cotton balls*

Neyz: He’s so weird.

Warlock: Heh, Jon directed this movie. He was in The Replacements too.

*Buddy takes a blood test. Then he sits outside and eats cotton with another kid. The doctor comes out and says Buddy IS his son.  Walter can’t believe it. Doctor tells him he should take him home.  Emily is supportive but Walter says he thinks he’s an elf. Buddy has the place decorated and then has a very awkward dinner with Emily, Walter and Michael. Walter looks peeved*

Warlock: Look at James Caan’s face! Baaaahhahahahaa.

*Emily says he should stay permanently and Walter doesn’t want him too. Buddy belches for a good 20 seconds and Michael calls him weird. Later on Buddy wants Walter to tuck him in. He says he loves him and Walter doesn’t say it back. Next morning he makes Emily spaghetti and maple syrup for breakfast. Walter tells him he needs a new outfit and Buddy strips right in front of Emily. She screams*

Warlock: I’d scream too.

*Buddy calls Walter and then eats a bowl of a sugar concoction*

Warlock: Just looking at that makes me want to take an insulin shot.

*Fulton (Michael Lerner) walks in and says the book that Walter foolishly published with no ending tanked badly and he wants a new book by Christmas Eve*

Warlock: That’s what he gets for publishing an unfinished book.

*Buddy chases Michael home from school and annoys the crap out of him*

Neyz: Haha

*Michael and Buddy are ambushed by a horde of snowball throwing thugs. Buddy then fast motion machine guns snowballs at the thugs until they all scatter. Michael “Where did you say you were from?”

Warlock: Straight Outta North Pole.

*Michael says Walter only cares about money, not them or anyone else. Michael and Buddy hit up Gimbel’s wear he sees Jovie. Michael tells him to ask him out*

Warlock: Sad part is he’s getting love advice from a kid.

*The Manager is now playing Santa. He asks Jovie out and she says she just had her lunch break but she’s free on Thursday. Buddy celebrates and then sets up a massive Christmas tree that doesn’t fit. Walter “What the hell’s that?”

Warlock: Andre the Giant’s Christmas tree.

*Emily “They were just having fun.” Walter “Felony is fun.”  Emily then confronts Walter about his neglect of Michael and he brushes it off. Emily convinces Walter to take Buddy to work with him. Next morning Walter shows up with Buddy dressed in the exact same suit he is*

Warlock: How is he wearing the exact same suit? He’s a good 5 inches taller than him. Walter’s clothes wouldn’t fit!

Neyz: Its only a movie.

*Buddy says hi to Fransisco (Oscar Goncalves) and Sarah. Deborah the secretary (Amy Sedaris) smiles at him. Buddy sips coffee and doesn’t like it. Buddy annoys Walter who then convinces him to go visit the mailroom. The mailroom is a decrepit factory and Buddy doesn’t like it*

Warlock: Yeah, looks about right.

*Walter is convinced by Morris (Andy Richter) and Eugene (Kyle Gass) to have Miles Finch (Peter Dinklage) write his next book*

*Buddy  drinks Irish coffee with his new friend (Mark Acheson) he meets in the mailroom and philosophizes about life. They have a tickle fight until we cut to Walter’s office. Miles asks for a private limo to take him to the office tomorrow. Meanwhile in the mailroom Buddy is table dancing to Whoomp Der It Is by Tag Team*

Warlock: Woomp der it is!!!

*Warlock gets up and starts dancing, Neyz facepalms*

Neyz: Staaaaaaaap it!

*Buddy and Jovie go on their date, Buddy is dressed in a coat and tie. He takes her for the “world’s best cup of coffee”, running in the revolving door and looks at the Christmas tree in Rockefeller center*

Warlock: Didn’t we just see that tree?

Neyz: No, what do you mean?

Warlock: Yeah, we….wait…..oh yeah. Yeah you’re right.

Neyz: You’re weird.

*Buddy and Jovie kiss as Miles Finch makes his appearance in Walter’s office. Miles takes the bribe Walter hands him and they talk business. Eugene and others pitch really stupid ideas but Miles cut them off. Before Miles can give his idea, Buddy runs in and says he’s in love. Buddy “I didn’t know we had elves working here.” Miles “Hey jackweed, I get more action in a week than you do in your life.” Buddy calls him elf and Miles gets enraged and beats him up. Miles walks out and Walter screams at Buddy to get out of his life. Buddy leaves dejected*

Neyz: That’s so mean.

*Eugene and Morris find Miles’ notebook that he left behind and tell Walter that they should use his idea for a book. Walter tells them to hop to it. Meanwhile a sad Buddy leaves a sad note as he runs away*

Neyz: Awwww

*Back in Fulton’s office, Walter is in a meeting trying to pitch the idea to Fulton. Michael runs in and says Buddy is gone and Walter has to choose between his job and his son. Walter says “Up yours” and double fist bumps Michael. Fulton screams at him that he’s finished”

Neyz: Nnnnennn?

Warlock: Huh?

*Walter and Michael look for Buddy as Santa comes to visit Buddy from the North Pole. Michael spots the sleigh as Buddy meets Santa in Central Park. Santa says his sleigh broke down and he needs Buddy’s help. All of a sudden we cut to Jovie watching the news and sees Buddy in his elf suit. She gets up and leaves as Buddy and Walter stumble upon Santa’s engine. Buddy runs up and Michael hugs him. Walter apologizes for being a jerk and doesn’t want him to leave. Buddy hugs him and brings the two to Santa’s sleigh. Buddy installs the engine back as Walter and Michael are dumbstruck. Michael asks if Santa is the real Santa and Santa points out the gift he wanted. The sleigh begins to raise and Santa says his sleigh flies on Christmas spirit. Michael says to get cameras in here and Santa says if the world saw him, the spirit and legend would be ruined. All of a sudden Santa spots the central park Rangers on their way. Walter comes up with a plan to disguise himself as Santa so the real one can get away. Michael then runs off with Santa’s book and tells the camera crew what kids want for Christmas. The sleigh begins to raise but Buddy can’t finish. Jovie and Emily find Michael and Walter. Buddy is in the back of Santa’s sleigh as he rides away from the Rangers. Buddy asks why they are chasing them. Santa “I put them on the naughty list, they’ve never forgiven me”

Warlock: Heh! They’re still on it.

*Jovie starts singing to try to inspire the crowd. Nobody moves until Emily starts singing badly. Michael joins in and finally the crowd joins in*

Neyz: None of them can sing.

*Buddy gets the engine going and Santa makes it in the air. Suddenly the engine blows and they crash. Suddenly the entire NYC sings and the sleigh rises again in front of the singing crowd. Buddy waves to Emily and rides back to the North Pole with Santa. We get an overlap of what happens after. Walter opened his own publishing firm and his first book was written by Buddy, an autobiography of sorts. Buddy and Jovie bring their newborn baby to Papa Elf as Leon Redbone sings*

Neyz: This guy…

*End credits*

Neyzor Blades’ assessment: Its alright. It was good. 7 out of 10

Warlock’s assessment: Cheesy, corny, silly, sometimes funny. Love Peter Dinklage, love James Caan. I give it a 6 out of 10. Its more of a kids movie

Final Grade: 6.5 out of 10, very good.

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: That was decent. It was a kids movie so I can’t judge it as I normally would. Its worth a look if you get a chance to see it. Its nothing compared to Home Alone or Miracle on 34th Street but what the hell, it doesn’t suck. Well that about wraps up another….

*Neyz cuts him off*

Neyz: Aren’t you forgetting something?

Warlock: Oh yes.

*Warlock opens his arms*

Warlock: God bless us…everyone.

Neyz: No not that. I see you brought a second dvd.

Warlock: Oh yes, now that Elf is over I thought we could watch…*holds up the dvd box*…Santa’s Slay!

Neyz: What?? You promised we didn’t have to!

Warlock:……I LIED!!!!!

*Neyz starts cursing and whacking him with his own cane as he laughs and looks at the camera*

Warlock: Have a pleasant evening and a Merry Christmas!

68. Home Alone 3 (1997)

*When we last left off, The Warlock had been visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present. He was shown by Ghost how everyone was better off without him and showed him the life he and Neyzor Blades could have had had he not wasted time, money and years on garbage movies. He’s back to reality wearing ridiculous, white 19th century tent pajamas and a white sleeping cap. He’s got an incoming Skype call*

Warlock: Now what?

*Warlock answers the call. Its the Mysterious Benefactor wearing a legitimately cool 16th century cape, cloak, hood and demonic looking spiked shoulder pads*

Warlock: You?

TMB: Shut up and listen. I’m the Ghost of Christmas Future.

Warlock: You though?

TMB: Were you expecting Lady T?

Warlock: Good point, what do you want?

TMB: I’m here to show you what the future holds if you keep watching shitty movies.

Warlock: I’m gonna stop you right there. If you’re going to lead me to my own grave, it won’t work. Everybody dies eventually and you of all people know I’m not afraid of death.

TMB: Just shut the fuck up!

*Warlock goes quiet*

TMB: That’s not what I’m going to show you. I’m going to show you something much worse.

Warlock: You mean Wallstreet, America and the others full of pain and suffering?

TMB: The opposite actually. They go on to lead happy lives without you. No, asshole, this is YOUR future. Go press play on your dvd player.

*Warlock gets up and goes to turn the tv on and hit the play button*

Warlock: Unlike those two bozos I’m not gonna flap my arms like an idiot.

*Warlock turns the tv on and presses play on the player. An outside shot of the lair is on screen only the place is in shambles. Front porch destroyed, gutters hanging off, paint dissipating. A haggard looking Warlock walks out. His hair is unwashed and filthy, his beard is frizzy and unkempt. His white tshirt is ripped and stained, his jacket is gone. His shades are missing a lens and his jeans look like they haven’t been cleaned in months. His shoes are tattered. Present Warlock is shocked*

Warlock: What…the FUCK…is THAT?

TMB: That…is your future. After driving away all your friends and loved ones, you live alone and abandoned. Watching shitty movies for a rapidly dwindling audience. Without Wallstreet and America, the fans left in droves. You said you’re not afraid of death, I give you a fate worse than death.

Warlock: Wait, I’m not even old. I expected this to be the future future.

TMB: That’s the point. At the rate you’re going it won’t take that long for you to reach this point.

Warlock: At least Christine looks pristine in my driveway.

TMB: Of course. You barely leave the house. You’re not driving her around to fuck it up.

*Future Warlock opens his arms on screen*

Warlock: Welcome to my lair…welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock musters a meek flash in his palm before it quickly flames out. Present Warlock shakes his head watching*

Warlock: I cant even do THAT?

TMB: Shut up and watch.

*Future Warlock enters the dilapidated lair. All the walls are bare except for odd cracks and bullet holes. All the memorabilia and good furniture are gone. The carpet is gone. His entire movie collection is gone as well except for a small cupboard. There’s empty pizza boxes and soda cans everywhere. He goes to his nearly bare cupboard and pulls out a movie*

Warlock: Tonight’s film I will hopefully sell after watching, is Home Alone 3. For some reason the major domos decided a third movie was in order without featuring anyone in the original two movies. The results are…well…lets find out.

*Future Warlock trudges through the trash to the dvd player as Present Warlock looks on*

Warlock: Give me a break. I’m not going to be THAT desperate for money. I sold the rug too? It can’t be that I sell everything off…right?

*TMB doesnt answer. Future Warlock presses play and sits in a cheap ass plastic chair in front of the tv.*

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “Alex Pruitt, a young boy of nine living in Chicago, fend off thieves who seek a top-secret chip in his toy car to support a North Korean terrorist organization’s next deed”

Warlock: John Hughes wrote this? It sounds terrible!

*Movie opens with the Home Alone theme and the opening credits*

Warlock: Well at least it has this.

*We get a graphic of Hong Kong. The mob boss (James Saito) says the chip is worth 5 million dollars. Petr Beaupre (Olek Krupa) asks why the large price and the boss says whoever controls the chip could control China*

Warlock: Wow, talk about a difference from the first two movies.

*Cooper hands Petr the chip and walks off with his money. Petr has Alice Ribbons (Rya Kihlstedt) to hide it in an RC car*

Warlock: Yeah, no one will ever expect to look in there.

*Petr, Alice Ribbons, Burton Jernigan (Lenny von Dohlen) and Earl Unger (David Thornton) walking though the San Fransisco airport*

Warlock: Look at these bad hombres. Where’s Dirty Harry when you need him?

*Alice drops the bag off into baggage check. Once they get to the other side, a woman takes the bag as an identical bag comes out. Alice picks up the wrong bag as the quartet walks out. They walk 10 feet before Alice realizes they have the wrong bag*

Warlock: They’re smarter than I thought. They got 10 feet before realizing it. Marv and Harry would have been long gone.

*The quartet figure the bag has gone to Chicago. Unger is pissed*

Warlock: Sucks for you buddy.

*Alice spots the lady carrying the bag but they can’t catch her as she leaves in a taxi*

Warlock: This seems very cheesy.

*Jernigan takes a photo of the cab’s license. They wait outside Taxi Service to interrogate the cab driver*

Warlock: Ok, this is gonna piss me off. These guys look like high tech trained armed robbers, not the garden variety burglars from the first two movies. Part of the charm of Marv and Harry were the fact they were dumb and had great back and forth chemistry. These guys have all the personality of a trout so far and you mean to tell me a child is going to outsmart them? I’m 8 minutes into the movie and I’m already dreading the next hour and 34 minutes.

*The cab driver (Richard Hamilton) tells the crooks where he dropped off Mrs Hess (Marian Seldes), what the house looked like and there was no snow on the ground. We cut to 8 year old Alex Pruitt (Alex Linz) shoveling Mrs Hess walkway and getting yelled at for not doing it sooner. She says she doesn’t want to be known as someone who stiffs people on jobs so she hands him the RC car. She said she left her bread at the airport and brought this home instead*

Warlock: Don’t you love getting expensive gifts instead of 5 dollars for a shovel job?

*As soon as Alex leaves, the crooks pulls up and says there are 14 houses on the block that all look alike. Petr says they’ll check all of them during the day because no one is home during the day. Next scene shows Alex using technology to feed his fish*

Warlock: At least they’re explaining he’s a little Doc Brown.

*Alex looks at himself in the mirror and sees a red spot on his head. He then pulls up his shirt and he has red spots all over him*

Warlock: Oh sure, now FOUR high tech burglars are going to be foiled by a kid with Chicken Pox?

*Karen Pruitt (Havliand Morris) complaining about working weekends. Jack Pruitt (Kevin Kilner) is doing the same. Alex strips down on his way up the stairs and we’re introduced to his sister Molly (Scarlett Johansson) and brother Stan (Seth Smith). Molly is writing test answers on her shoes and Stan squishes Alex’ pet mantis with a basketball as his parrot (Darren T Knaus) tells him not to*

Warlock: Not exactly Buzz and the tarantula. By the way Black Widow is a CHEATER!

*Alex screams and everyone makes fun of him when its revealed he has chicken pox. He chills with his mouse Doris as everyone else has to leave for school and work the next day except Karen*

Warlock: They’re trying to set him up as the black sheep but I don’t even think Kevin McCallister’s relatives would have been THAT viscous if Kevin had the chicken pox.’

*Alex in bed pulls out a real looking gun that shoots darts. His mother comes upstairs and Alex uses the RC car to tell her to fetch him some juice*

Warlock: What a wuss. When I had the chicken pox I played a little league game two days after I found out.

*Alice in disguise buys a house on the street where Alex and Mrs. Hess live*

Warlock: So these crooks are loaded too. Again, zero charm coming after the first two movies.

*Alex uses his scientific skills to shut Mrs Hess tv off and then change the channel to a Jamie Foxx music video. Meanwhile Petr pulls up and his crew is scoping out the houses. Unger steals someone’s dog*

Warlock: What a heel….a dog thief.

*Karen gets called into work and tells her boss to stick it for making her come in with a sick child at home*

Warlock: Alright, there’s some compassion. I can build on that.

*Karen says goodbye to Alex who blows the plot by saying crooks can hit during the day*

Warlock: Wow, and John Hughes wrote that?

*Petr uses gadget technology to break into a house. Kevin uses his telescope to spot Alice walking the dog. Alex brings his telescope to the attic where he sports one of the crooks in a jogging suit checking the places out.  Alex spots Petr robbing a house across the street. Alex quickly runs and calls the cops*

Warlock: Yeah, watch, now no one will be there and it’ll establish him as the boy who cried wolf.

*The crooks make their getaway as Karen comes back home. Soon after the police arrive. Alex says he knew something was afoot when he saw the woman with Johnny Allen’s dog. The police kick the door in and only a dog greets them*

Warlock: Ha…ha

*The cop tells Alex false alarms are no joking matter and Alex says he saw the driver, the lookout and the van but no one believes him*

Warlock: The Ice Cream Man Police would put out an APB on the van, the dog and anyone in a jogging outfit.

*Karen yells at him that she has to replace the door and Alex stands his ground. Meanwhile in some sort of headquarters, Agent Stuckey (Christopher Curry) and the feds identify the four crooks and say they have got to find the chip. Meanwhile the crooks figure out someone had them made and they have to find out who it was. Next day the father has to leave before his mom. He almost walks out with no pants on*

Warlock: Alex should have let him just walk out like that.

*Unger hobbles around outside disguised badly as an old man. Alex spots him and shuts the attic windows. Mrs. Hess leaves her house and Alex spots Alice jogging by. He then notices Petr in the Hess house. He runs and calls the cops. Repeat 5 minutes ago only this time Petr is still in the house. The cops literally smash all the doors off the hinges as Petr hides in the woodwork.  Another false alarm and this time the police captain (Baxter Harris) has to tell Alex not to call the cops anymore.*

Warlock: See, what did I tell ya.

*The brother and sister taunt Alex mercilessly as he goes to his room.  He ignores them and Alex ponders what the crooks’ pattern is and what they’re looking for. Alex says he’s on his own to catch the crooks since no one believes him. Next say Karen nearly runs over Alice jogging with Johnny Allen’s dog. Alex then sets up a command center in the attic as the crooks strike on day 3. Alex uses the RC car with a camcorder attached to catch the crooks in the act. Both Unger and Alice spot the rc car. Alex uses the car to bag Petr in the act. Petr sneaks up on the car and scares Alex off his stool. Petr says he’s being spotted and his team freaks out. Petr knocks laundry on the car and Alex quickly uses his long range tv remote to turn the tv on. Then he uses the parrot to leave a voicemail*

Warlock: The animals in this movie are out-acting the humans.

*The parrot sings Bad Bad Leroy Brown as the car makes its getaway only it crashes outside the house. Mrs. Hess spots Unger disguised as the old man running and Jernigan slips on ice, crashing into a shed. Petr grabs the car and the camcorder. The others join him. Petr says he’ll deal with the woman in the house and tells Alice to get the chip and go*

Warlock: Wonderful, the movie is over. They have the chip, now scram! Vamoose!

*Alice picks up the car and Alex floors it, knocking Alice over and hightailing it away. Petr pulls a gun on the answering machine. Unger and Jernigan scramble to get the car. Unger jumps and slides on the mud but can’t catch the car*

Warlock: He’s out sliding into home.

*Jernigan goes to run over the RC car and misses it completely. Alice and Petr run into each other as Jernigan speeds around the neighborhood. He crashes into Unger and he calls Jernigan a nitwit*

Warlock: I would ask why nobody sees him, but there’s no one home.

*Alex flies the car over Jernigan’s head and it comes back to Alex. Back in Alex’s room, he finds the camcorder has no tape. He wonders why they’re still after the car when he opens up the car and the chip falls out. He takes a magnifying glass to the chip. He calls the army recruiting station and tells the recruiter the serial number on the chip so he can call someone who knows about it. Meanwhile the crooks lick their wounds and watch film from the tape. They passive aggressively insult each other*

Warlock: Once again, they have all the personality of a trout.

*Alice says it has to be a kid and Petr says the Pruitt house is at the center of it. The mob boss calls Petr and says if they don’t get the chip within 24 hours, the crew is dead meat. At the Pruitt dinner, Karen gets a call from Alice disguised as a neighbor and she unknowingly gives his position away. Alex tries to stop the call and tell his mom but no one believes him. Later on in his bed, he says he’s gonna have to fight them off. He gives a speech to himself*

Warlock: CHEESY!

*We get a montage set to Oingo Boingo of Alex setting traps and such to use the next day. The parrot demands two crackers as a bribe*

Warlock: There ya go Mysterious Benefactor, there’s your damn Oingo Boingo.

*Petr watches the weather channel and a huge snowstorm is expected to hit soon. Alex tucks his sleeping mom in as Alice walks the stolen dog the following day*

Warlock: How cheesy.

*Alex blows a dog whistle to distract the dog. Alex says he has to free the hostages. Alex continues using the dog whistle and eventually the dog wraps up Alice and drags her 30 feet through the bushes. The dog runs back to Alex and Alex sets him free. Alice bends over and rips her pants*

Warlock: Finally something good.

*Agent Stuckey gets a call from the recruiting station about the chip and says they’re on their way to Chicago. Meanwhile Alex has to rewire one of his traps when it almost decks his mother. Karen says Mrs Clovis was supposed to drop by, Alex says he let her have it*

Warlock: The one time I’ve chuckled this whole movie.

*Karen blows a kiss to Alex as she heads to work. Alex says its just him and Doris now when Parrot says “Let’s get ready to rumble!”

Warlock: An 8 year old with the chicken pox, a rat and a parrot against four highly trained criminals……riiiiight.

*Another montage of Alex setting up traps in the snow with really bad 90’s rock*

Warlock: Ugh, late 90’s kiddy rock. I hated it then and I hate it now.

*Karen calls Mrs. Hess to check on Alex and she says fine but no cooking. Hess complains to have to baby-sit and Petr/Alice confronts her. Alice brings Mrs. Hess into her house and closes the door, Hess is scared*

Warlock: Well that takes care of her.

*Unger and Jernigan both get electrocuted, Unger rips his pants as well*

Warlock: So silly…not as funny as the Marv skeleton

*Unger slides on the marble mat and goes face first into the door. Unger nonchalantly tells Petr the place is booby trapped. Petr spots a dumbbell trap and cuts the chord, the hope chest falls out the window and takes them both out. Meanwhile Alice ties up Mrs Hess and leaves the door open*

Warlock: Hess would have joined them.

*Jernigan wakes up and walks into a fish-hook and the dumbbell comes down and wipes out Petr and Unger again. Petr organizes a plan, they’ll go through all four sides of the house. Alex’s traps beat them up again and again. Unger gags*

Warlock: The second time I’ve chuckled.

*Jernigan gets cut up with a lawnmower, only his hair is cut*

Warlock: That’s bullshit, that would have killed him and tore his face to bits.

*Petr enters the house with a shotgun and opens the closet only for the boxing glove to nail him in the gonads. He lands ass first on the shotgun and it goes off*

Warlock: Got it in both ends.

*Unger enters the house through the window and gets stuck in glue. Jernigan uses a ladder to get to the attack but he falls through the floor and lands on a portopotty*

Warlock: Gross.

*Petr gets up and HIS pants are ripped as well*

Warlock: The writer has a thing for ripped pants apparently.

*Alice cartwheels onto the back porch only to fall through the hole. Petr lands on top of her and his gun goes off. Unger’s gun goes off and the septic tank empties on his head. The four regroup in the basement and laugh at each other*

Warlock: I’ve chuckled a third time.

*The phone goes off and they all pull their guns. Alex tells his mom not to come home and the crooks hear him. Petr calls him a brave little fellow as he grabs the spray painted dart gun instead of his real gun. Alex retreats upstairs and unleashes Doris. The crooks follow and Unger figures he’s in the closet. Unger opens the door and nothing is in there. Alex is hiding in the bag of laundry in the door*

Warlock: The bag would have ripped.

*Agent Stuckey and the police ransack the local school looking for Alex. He tells Karen, Stan and Molly that Alex is in trouble. Suddenly Stan and Molly turn face and demand Stuckey tell them what’s going on. Stuckey spills the beans*

Warlock: Oh yeah, NOW they turn face? Give me a break.

*Parrot is singing in the shower and Unger follows the sound. Jernigan and Alice follow a lead into Molly’s room. Doris enters the crotch of Jernigan’s ripped suit. Unger finds the naked lady poster in the shower and the Parrot lands on Unger’s gun. Meanwhile Alice spots Doris in the crotchhole and tells Jernigan not to move. They repeat the tarantula scene from the first movie only Alice nails Jernigan in the gonads*

Warlock: Bahahaha, finally I laughed.

*Parrot tells Alex to run for it as he packs up Doris. Unger makes a beeline for him but is wiped out by Alice. Jernigan “You smacked my winkie”

Warlock: TERRIBLE dialogue.

*Alice and Jernigan head to the attic as Alex throws the real gun in the trash. Alex runs out of the house and insults the team. Alex holds up the chip and Alice tells both Unger and Jernigan to jump off the trampoline. They jump right through it and land in the pool below. They’re frozen. Meanwhile Alice gets in the dumbwaiter and falls all the way to the concrete floor. Meanwhile Alex wakes up Mrs. Hess and puts his little jacket on her to keep him warm. Alex spots the windows open and Petr sneaks up on him. Petr rips the car apart and tells Alex to give him the chip.  Petr pulls out the dart gun and Alex says that’s not his gun. Petr shoots the dart onto a mirror. Alex pulls out another gun and says THIS is his gun. Petr runs away and Alex shoots bubbles out of it*

Warlock: Clever

*Alex leads Mrs. Hess into her house. Alex calls her a pretty tough old bird and she calls him a sweet young man. Meanwhile the feds show up in squad cars and snowplows which wipes out Petr’s van. Karen and the kids get home as well. The cops find Unger and Jernigan and tell them to freeze. Unger “You gotta be kidding me” Alex runs into Karen’s arms. Stan and Molly call him a hero. Alex hands the chip to Agent Stuckey and says Petr got away. Stuckey says he’s been after Petr for years.  The cops haul off Alice, Jernigan and Unger as Petr is hiding in a a nearby igloo. Parrot shows up on the rc car and taunts Petr before lighting the fireworks*

Warlock: We’re supposed to believe a parrot is that smart and he didn’t die in that?

*Jack arrives home as Mrs Hess said she had the chicken pox when Herbert Hoover was in the white house. Jack brings him an RC car as the crooks all get their mugshots taken, they all have the chicken pox. End credits*

Warlock: Thank god its over.

Warlock’s assessment: That was a piece of garbage. The soundtrack was weak, the bandits had zero personality, the traps were elaborate but after two movies, they get old real quick. The dialogue was corny and it didn’t have the same feel as the first two movies. We’re supposed to believe an 8 year old could defeat 4 smart crooks rather than 2 dumb burglars? Give me a break. I give this pile a 4 out of 10

Final Grade: 4 out of 10: Bad

*Warlock stands from the chair and arches his aching back*

Warlock: Well that about wraps up another craptastic adventure…possibly my last adventure. Unless you folks can help me out. Buy this movie off me please? 10 dollars, how cheap is that? No? How about 5 bucks? 3 bucks..A DOLLAR! Anything will do!

*Future Warlock continues to ramble as the room fades to black. When the lights resume Present Warlock shakes his head*

Warlock: Alright alright, you convinced me. No more shitty movies. Ok? Ok?

*Warlock looks around. Hes not in the lair he knew but the dilapidated one on TV. He’s no longer dressed in the ridiculous pajamas but is now looking like the homeless version he saw of himself. He kicks the plastic chair in front of the tv and it snaps in half*

Warlock: No…..NOOOOO…NOOOOOOOOOO!! This can’t be. Tell me its not true! I can’t go out like this!

*TMB laughs on the laptop on the kitchen table*

Warlock: Shut up…Shut Up! SHUT UPPP!!

*Warlock goes to shoot a fireball at the computer but only a small flicker emerges*

TMB: Lose something Warlock?

*Warlock holds his head with both hands* NEYZ IM SORRY! WALLSTREET! AMERICA! LADY T..I’M SO SORRY!  Don’t let me end up like this…don’t..don’t.

*Warlock sobs and falls to the floor, hitting his head. He opens his eyes and he sees the carpet. He jumps up in his bedroom surprised and happy. He’s dressed in the t-shirt and Celtics pajamas he originally went to bed in. He jumps for joy as his bed is normal. He runs out to the viewing room and everything is in place. All the pictures, furniture, memorabilia and extensive movie collection is intact. He runs around the room yelling*

Warlock: Yes! Yes! I’M BACK!  I’m not a homeless bum! Its Christmas morning! I didn’t miss it! Wait…it is Christmas right?

*Warlock frantically skype calls Dr. Taylor Ahern and asks if its Christmas morning. Taylor answers and says yes, the sharks are hibernating. Warlock hangs up and runs in a circle celebrating. He then stops*

Warlock: Oh my god…Neyz. I have to see her. Its not too late.

*Warlock runs to his bedroom where an outfit is hanging on a coathanger outside the closet. Warlock looks at it*

Warlock: You gotta be fuckin kidding me.

*There’s a note on the clothes that says “You’re welcome. TMB” Warlock shakes his head*

Warlock: Oh well.

*Next frame shows Warlock dressed in a black trench coat, scarf, dress pants, black socks and dress shoes. He’s wearing a large top hat and has a cane in his hand*

Warlock: Alright, time to see Neyz.

*He grabs the dvd Elf off his shelf and a second movie then runs out the door. He hops in his red 1958 Plymouth Fury, starts it up and drives away*

TO BE CONCLUDED

67. Home Alone 2 (1992)

*When we last left off, The Warlock had a very eventful Christmas Eve. He was almost dumped by Neyzor Blades, was visited by the spirit of his late friend J-Magic and was shown his past by the Ghost of Christmas Past. Warlock awakes in his bed with all the lights on again*

Warlock: I swear to god Mr. America…

*A figure stands in the doorway wearing green bedsheets as a cloak and hood*

Mr. Wallstreet: Greetings Warlock! It is I the Ghost of Christmas Present!

Warlock: Did you seriously go through my closet and steal my other bed sheets?

Wallstreet: That’s not important old boy. What is important is I am here to show you CHRISTMAS MORNING!! FOLLOW ME!

*Wallstreet holds his arms out and runs out of the room like an airplane, making noises as he leaves*

Warlock: There’s no need to…hey wait…

*Warlock walks into the viewing room, notices he’s wearing 19th century white tent pajamas and a white sleeping cap with slippers*

Warlock: What the hell? How the hell am I wearing this ridiculous get up?

Wallstreet: It wasn’t easy getting you in that.

Warlock: Wait, what?

Wallstreet: Nevermind…I am here to show you CHRISTMAS MORNING!

Warlock: THERE’S NO NEED TO SHOUT!

Wallstreet: Take your own advice. Anyway, this is what everyone else is doing on their CHRISTMAS MORNING!

*Wallstreet flaps his arms like a bird and says OGABOOGABOOGAOOGABOOGA. He then picks up the tv remote and turns on both the tv and DVD player*

Warlock: At least you simply used the remote.

*The tv turns on and Mr. America is shown having Christmas with his family. Hes smiling and opening presents*

Warlock: Wow, he’s smiling.

Wallstreet: Yessss. Amazing what happens when he’s not around you.

Warlock: Hey that’s low.

*The tv then shows Lady T on screen opening presents with her husband and children. She’s smiling and laughing.*

Warlock: Wow, she’s not as insane as I thought.

Wallstreet: Yes, once again without you around.

Warlock: Hey I thought this was Scrooge, not a reverse Its a Wonderful Life.

Wallstreet: What does that tell you my good sir? It means you’re driving everyone crazy with your bad movies.

Warlock: Alright your turn. What are you doing this Christmas?

Wallstreet: Well actually I’m. ..oh wait. I am here giving you guidance as the Ghost of Christmas Present!

Warlock: Riiight…anyway that just leaves Neyzor Blades.

Wallstreet: Au contraire…you too.

Warlock: What?

Wallstreet: And you too. Neyzor Blades is with you.

Warlock: What are you talking about?

*Wallstreet starts making plane noises and rotating his arms*

Warlock: Oh come on…

*Suddenly the camera starts rotating too and does a 360*

Warlock : Hey hey how you doing that?

*The camera stops rotating and the scene shifts to Warlock snuggling on a couch in front of a fire. There’s a christmas tree decorated and a big screen tv with a blu ray player underneath. Both Warlock and Neyz are in standard attire snuggling on a large couch. In the corner, Ghost Wallstreet and Real Warlock watch over.*

Warlock: What the hell is this?

Wallstreet: This is you on Christmas morning.

Warlock: How can that be me if I’m standing here?

Wallstreet: No, this is what Christmas morning SHOULD be for you.  If you hadn’t wasted all that money all those years on crappy movies, this is where you’d be. You’d be with Neyzor Blades watching a GOOD movie on Christmas Day.

Warlock: Elf?

Wallstreet: No, just watch.

*The camera shifts to Warlock and Neyz*

Warlock: I love you so much honey. Mush mush mush.

*They kiss*

Neyz: Ohhh…mush mush mushhhh

*They kiss again*

Warlock: You’re my queen mush mush

*Kissing again*

Neyz: Ohhh..baaaabe

*They kiss again, meanwhile Real Warlock and Ghost Wallstreet are in the corner*

Warlock: Alright can we skip the mushy stuff?

Wallstreet: I agree. *He holds his hand to his mouth* GET ON WITH IT!

*Corner Warlock jumps, startled as the scene shifts back to Couch Warlock*

Warlock: So you ready for the movie my dear?

Neyz: Yes I am.

Warlock: So without further adieu its time for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York!

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “One year after Kevin was left home alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, he accidentally finds himself in New York City, and the same criminals are not far behind.”

Neyz: Sounds like Home Alone 2

Warlock: Duh…

*Movie opens with opening credits set to the theme from the first movie*

Neyz: Never heard of half of these people.

Warlock: Tim Curry, Rob Schenider, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern….you’ve never heard of them? Good god.

*Its bedlam at the McCallister house again. Peter (John Heard), Kate (Catherine O’Hara), Buzz (Devin Ratray), Megan (Hillary Wolf), Linnie (Maureen Elisabeth Shay), Jeff (Michael C Maronna), Uncle Frank (Gary Bamman), Aunt Leslie (Terrie Snell), Rod (Jedidiah Cohen), Tracy (Senta Moses Mikan), Sondra (Diana Rein), Fuller (Kieran Culkin) and Brooke (Anna Slotky) run around and get ready for another family Christmas trip. Before that is the big Christmas pageant Buzz and Kevin (Macauley Culkin) are partaking in. Kevin is playing with a Talkboy*

Warlock: I had one of those.

Neyz: Me too.

*Kate tells Kevin his grandma sent him an inflatable clown. Kevin wants to know why they’re going to Florida, they don’t have Christmas trees*

Neyz: Oh to be growing up in the 90’s, we were lucky.

*Peter looks for the batter to his camcorder. He accidentally unplugs the alarm clock when he pulls the plug for his charger*

Warlock: Here we go again.

*Peter tells Kevin to get his tie. Kevin says Frank is taking a shower and won’t let him in. Peter says be discreet about it and don’t look at anything. Frank sings horribly as Kevin walks in and records him with the talkboy. Frank notices him and says “Get out of here you nosy little pervert or I’m gonna slap you silly!” Kevin beats a hasty retreat.

Neyz and Warlock: Bahahahaha

*At the Christmas pageant a few of the boys are in it including Jeff, Kevin and Buzz. Kevin sings a solo and Buzz makes fun of him behind his back. The crowd laughs and Kevin turns around to see Buzz grinning. Kevin shoves him which causes a chain reaction to everyone falling down and a huge cardboard Christmas tree wipes out the piano player. Kate stands and shouts “Kevin!”

Warlock: Buzz had it coming.

*Buzz then pulls off a horribly done yet hilarious apology for his actions. When Kevin gets up to apologize Buzz taunts him under his breath and Kevin gets pissed. Kevin cuts a heel promo on his whole family and Peter tells him to go upstairs to the third floor and this time Kevin is defiant. Frank calls him an ungrateful sourpuss and Kevin calls him a cheapskate*

Warlock: He got him!

*Kate visits Kevin on the third floor and says this is how it started last year. Kevin cuts another heel promo saying he doesn’t need anyone and Kate says he’ll get his wish again*

Warlock: I’m with Kate on this one.

*We have a repeat of the first movie where the statue gets knocked over, Kate and Peter scream they did it again and we have more mayhem set to Peter Tchaikovsky’s Dance. Everybody piles into the vans and wonder where Kevin is. He’s riding shotgun and he says he’s glad he has his own ticket.  Kevin runs behind Peter at the airport who’s wearing a beige jacket. Kevin is carrying Peter’s bag with all the cash in it. Kevin stops to put batteries in his Talkboy. As soon as Kevin gets them in, another man in a beige jacket runs in front of him and Kevin mistakes him for his dad. The whole family goes to gate H while Kevin follows the other guy to gate K.  Kevin runs into the ticket taker and drops his boarding pass amongst the ones the taker was holding. Kevin is let on the plane going to New York. Kevin asks the gentleman next to him (Andre Lachaumette) if he’s ever been to Florida and the man answers in French that he’s a food and beverage connoisseur which bores Kevin into listening to Tom Petty.

Neyz: This guy? Ugh

Warlock: I’d listen to Tom Petty too

*Kevin gets off the plane and can’t find anyone. After a bit he realizes he’s in New York. At baggage claim, they figure out Kevin’s not with them. Peter screams “What!!??” Kate screams again “KEVIN!”*

Neyz: That was the best scream yet, his ‘what’ was priceless though.

*Kevin asks the lady where he is, she says New York. Kevin figures out they’re in Florida and he’s in New York. He grins*

Warlock: Got what he wanted again.

*We get a montage of Kevin running around New York. He eventually makes it to the top of the World Trade Center*

Warlock: Won’t see that no more.

Neyz: Can’t believe people jumped from there.

*Meanwhile at the police station Kate and Peter crack jokes as the police guy isn’t friendly. The cop says its most likely he’s back in Chicago. Meanwhile on the fish docks in New York, Marv (Daniel Stern) and Harry (Joe Pesci) pop up. They escaped from prison. Harry “You smell that?” Marv “Yeah, fish”

Neyz: Ha!

*Marv robs a donation change stand and Harry says “Real smart, you’re going to rob 14 cents from Santa?* Marv “We’re the Sticky Bandits!”

Warlock: Hahaha

*Kevin runs into Pidgeon Lady (Brenda Fricker) and runs away. He casually walks by Marv and Harry, Harry bumps into him. Marv runs into a blonde girl and says “Pardon-moi mon cherie” and she slaps him. Harry “Serves you right, let’s go”

Warlock: Bahahaha.

*Kevin makes it to the Plaza Hotel and asks Donald Trump (himself) where the lobby is. Donald answers down the hall and to the left*

Warlock: Donald Trump.

Neyz: Oh my god, yes it is.

*Kevin listens to the Talkboy and records himself asking for a hotel room. When he calls the receptionist he slows down the voice on the Talkboy to make it sound like his father. The receptionist buys it*

Warlock: I used to do that but the sound was never that clear.

*Kevin goes to check in but the Concierge (Tim Curry) spots him. The receptionist is cold to him and Kevin checks in with his dad’s credit card. Meanwhile back at the police station Peter remembers Kevin has his bag and wallet. The cop tells him if he uses the credit card, i

*Concierge tells Cedric (Rob Schneider) not to count his tips in public and to keep an eye on Kevin. Cedric leads Kevin to his hotel room. He holds his hand out for a tip and Kevin gives him gum. Cedric walks away mad*

Neyz: Hahaha

*Kevin hits the pool in his father’s bathing suit. Kevin cannonballs in and notices the trunks floating away. “Yikes”!

Neyz: Bahahaha

*Kevin watches Angels With Filthier Souls. Johnny (Ralph Foody) yells at his girlfriend (Clare Hoak) for kissing his brother. Johnny: “Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob and Cliff!” He says he believes her…BUT HIS TOMMY GUN DON’T! “I’m gonna give ya to the count of three to get Lousy, lying, low-done floor flushing carcas out my door.” After he blows her away “Merry Christmas ya filthy animal….and a happy new year”

Warlock: Classic.

*Outside shot of NYC*

Neyz: Look its pretty.

*The Concierge knocks on Kevin’s door and he retreats to the bathroom. Kevin uses the inflatable clown and the recording of Frank signing to scare him away*

Warlock: BRILLIANT!

*Meanwhile in Miami, the family is bummed out in a rainy, cheap motel. Back at the Plaza Hotel, Kevin finds out his uncle Rob lives in New York. Kevin finds his dad’s wallet with a picture of the family. Kevin remorses and looks out the window. “Good night mom”. Down in Florida Kate says “Goodnight Kevin”

Neyz: Awwww

*Cedric drops off smaller bathing trunks to Kevin’s door. Kevin asks if he wants a tip. Cedric pulls out the gum he was chewing and says he has tip left over. Kevin pulls out a huge wad of 50 dollar bills and says “No tip? Ok.” Cedric’s face drops as Kevin shuts the door. Once downstairs, Concierge asks Kevin if his father is still mad. Kevin says he’s furious. Concierge checks on the credit card as Kevin leaves in the limo he asked for. The driver and Cedric see him off with a pizza*

Neyz: That’s you Warlock.

*Kevin asks the limo driver if he knows any good toy stores. Meanwhile the Concierge finds out the credit card is stolen and smiles like the Grinch. Harry beats pidgeons with his newspaper as Marv skates around central park. Marv shows up and Harry says they’re going to rob Duncan’s Toy Chest because toy stores carry cash on them on Christmas Eve*

Warlock: It does sound like a plan.

*Kevin visits Duncan’s Toy Chest and its a huge toy store. Marv and Harry hide out. E.F. Duncan (Eddie Bracken) comes up to Kevin and share a chat. Duncan is a really nice guy that is donating that day’s receipts and a huge chest of money to charity. Kevin pulls out a 20 and hands it to Duncan saying give it to the kids. Duncan takes two turtledoves off a tree and hands them to Kevin. He says to give one half to a special person and keep the other half as a symbol of friendship*

Warlock: See, two turtledoves are important.

*Kevin figures out who Mr Duncan was and leaves the store. Harry and Marv spot Kevin and go to kidnap him. Kevin screams and nobody cares. They chase him through the streets and Kevin drops them with well placed necklace beads. Kevin runs to the hotel and says to Concierge that two guys are after him. He grins evily and says “What’s the matter, store wouldn’t accept your STOLEN CREDIT CARD?” Concierge threatens to call the cops as Kevin runs inside the hotel. Marv and Harry says to get him. Concierge calls the receptionist and Cedric to get Kevin and they all crash into each other. Concierge drags Cedric on the ground and asks for security. Kevin goes to his room and prepares to leave by grabbing cookies and such. He puts on the movie as Cedric, Receptionist, Cedric and two security guards, one named Cliff barge into the room.  The movie says “I believe ya, but my Tommygun don’t! Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.” They all get on their knees and say they love him.  The tommygun goes off and Kevin lip-syncs “Merry christmas ya filthy animal, and a happy new year!” The group army crawls away as Concierge shouts at the guests “STAY IN YOUR ROOMS! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! THERE’S AN INSANE GUEST, WITH A GUN!”

Neyz and Warlock: Bahahhaahaha

Kevin jumps out the back door where Marv and Harry Harry says they spent 9 months in jail and Kevin records them saying they’re going to rob Duncan’s Toy Chest at midnight. Harry tells Marv to shut up and Marv says not to worry because he won’t be able to talk. Harry says he’s got a gun. They go for a stroll but have to stop at a crosswalk. Kevin pinches the behind of the attractive girl from before and she turns around. Marv “Well hello.” She punches him down. Kevin points to Harry “He did it!” She punches him out too. Kevin thanks her and he runs off into Central Park. Kevin escapes in a horse and carriage*

Neyz: There’s so many people.

Warlock: Its New York City, nobody cares.

*Harry laments losing Kevin. Marv says this time Kevin is in trouble because he’s there alone. Harry “Grown men walk into the park and don’t walk out alive.”

Warlock: He’s right.

*The family watches Its a Wonderful Life in Spanish as Kate gets a phone call. The police say Kevin is in New York City and he ran from the hotel when they questioned him about Peter’s credit card. Peter asks if Kevin is smart enough to go to his uncle’s house. Unfortunately for Kevin, the relatives are in Paris and the place is being renovated*

Warlock: HOW TO RUIN A MOVIE!

Neyz: “Uncle Rob is there early and Kevin runs up. Rob takes him in and says they’ll watch him until they can locate the parents. Kevin places a call to the police to be at Duncan’s Toy Chest at midnight. They show up and arrest Marv and Harry on sight”

Warlock: THE END

*Kevin shows up to his uncle Rob’s place but nobody is there. Kevin walks through the streets at night and runs into the local dregs. Kevin calls for a taxi but the driver (Mario Tordisco) scares the daylights out of him. Kevin runs to the park where he’s surrounded by the pigeons. Kevin sees Pigeon Lady and screams. His foot in the caught in the rock and the Lady sets him free. Kevin runs but then stops himself. He walks back to her and apologizes for screaming at her. He says the birds are nice. “They’re all over you because they like you.”

Neyz: That’s meeeeeeeee.

*Kevin asks if the pigeons come back or does she have to call them. She hands him seeds and say they can hear it. He throws the seed and the pigeons come flocking. Kevin asks if she wants to go for hot cocoa with him and she agrees. She takes him to the attic of an Opera House. She has heard the finest musicians play there. She says she doesn’t have human friends, only the birds. Kevin says he’s the pigeon of the house. Lady says she once had a job and loved ones but her husband ran out on her. She says she can’t trust anyone anymore and Kevin pulls off an epic speech using roller blades as an example. He tells her to take a chance and love again. “Your heart may be broken, but it isn’t gone. You wouldn’t be this nice.”

Warlock: So here’s the Old Man Marley of the second movie.

*Pigeon Lady says to go do a good deed to erase any bad deeds he had done. Kevin says he’ll go do that*

Neyz: She doesn’t realize this is a 10 year old kid all alone?

Warlock: Only a movie

*Kevin says he’ll promise to see her again and she can trust him. Lady “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” Kevin walks out and remembers that Marv and Harry are going to rob Duncan’s Toy Chest. Kevin says his good deed will be to stop them. Its 9 PM when Kevin runs to his Uncle’s place to set up traps.

Warlock: How did he know….what….nevermind.

Neyz: It makes you wonder what the hell they’re doing to the house if it looks THAT bad renovating.

*Kevin’s family walks up to the hotel and the Concierge gets a tongue lashing from Kate and Peter. Kate “The way I’m feeling, no mugger or murderer is gonna mess with me.” Concierge goes to talk her out of it and she slaps him. “Its cold outside, please bundle up before going outside.”

Warlock: Hahaha

*Midnight tolls as Marv and Harry wake up inside Duncan’s. They rob the place blind as Harry says “Merry christmas Harry.” Marv cracks up the chest “Happy Hanukkah Marv”  Kevin spots them and takes pictures of them. He then tosses a brick with a note for Mr. Duncan attached to set the alarm off. Harry “He took our picture.” Marv “How did my hair look?”

Warlock Hahaha

*Marv packs up as much cash as he can carry and Harry jumps out the window onto a see-saw. Marv jumps out and Harry goes flying, crashing ontop of a car*

Warlock: A. He wouldn’t go up that high, B. He’d be dead.

*Kevin runs from the duo as Kate just misses him. Kevin makes it to the roof of Rob’s place and taunts them. Marv says to get him and Harry says to hold up. He says not to underestimate him and Marv says its not his house and he’s running scared. Harry “May I do the thinking, please?” Marv’s face is priceless.

Neyz and Warlock: Hahahaha

*Harry tries to make a deal with Kevin to toss him the camera and he’ll go away. Kevin tosses bricks that hit Marv in the head 3 times*

Warlock: He’d be dead.

*One last brick nails Marv and Harry says he’s going around back, Marv take the front. Marv “Hawwwyyyyy”

Neyz: That’s my favorite.

*Marv pulls the front doorknob that ignites a nail gun that hits Marv in the ass*

Warlock: He won’t be able to sit for a week.

*Another nail hits Marv in the gonads*

Warlock: Owwww

*The final nail hits Marv in the cheek. Meanwhile Harry out back goes to climb the ladder but its covered in goo. He falls and speaks gibberish*

Warlock: Behwgaeleaahebaraggegaga.

*Marv walks in “Harry, I’ve reached the top!” He falls twenty feet to the ground. He cracks his neck and passes out*

Neyz: Hahahahaha

*Harry mumbles to himself as Harry barges in the back door who gets nailed by a giant bag of tools. Meawhile Marv stands up “Wow….what a hole!”

Warlock: My favorite line.

*Marv slips on green slime and crashes into the paint shelf, it all falls on him. Harry turns a light on inside and narrowly avoids a hole*

Neyz: There are holes everywhere randomly. They’re not renovating, they’re tearing it down.

*Marv gets up in technicolor and goes to turn a water faucet on but Kevin’s got it hooked to a car battery. Marv fries as a stunt double of a skeleton is inserted for comedic effect*

Warlock: He’d be dead….again.

Neyz: He’s got nine lives.

*Harry turns on the bathroom light and the blowtorch sets the top of his head on fire. He goes to stick his head in the toilet but its full of gasoline….BANG*

Warlock: He’d be dead too.

Neyz: Its only a movie.

*Marv gets up looking like Larry Fine. “Ha..Harryyyyyy”. He tugs on a rope a bunch of times and it doesn’t move. Marv goes to climb it but the ropes down with a sugar sack attached to it. Marv covered in sugar “I’m gonna murder that kid…ACHOO!”

Warlock: Yes!

*Marv climbes out of his hole and spots Kevin. Kevin “Don’t you know a kid always wins against two idiots?” Kevin climbs a ladder to escape and when he makes it, the ladder collapses with Harry on top of it. Marv picks him up and Kevin says to try the stairs. They go to the stairs and Harry stops Marv and says to remember last year. They fake walking up the stairs as Kevin tosses two paint cans that miss. Marv “Ow, right in the schnozz!” Marv and Harry then figure Kevin’s done and go up the stairs as Kevin tosses a banister down that crack Marv and Harry in the face, dropping them down the hole. The banister comes down the hole and lands on them*

Warlock: They’d be dead.

*Kevin asks if they give up, Marv “NEVER!!!”

Warlock: Bahahahaha

*Marv: I hope your parents got you a tombstone for Christmas!”

Warlock: Another great line.

*Kevin rolls the Craftsman toolbox on wheels down the stairs that smush Marv and Harry. Kevin “Yes!” Kevin  ties a rope to the roof and climbs down. He calls Marv a big horses ass. Marv “Suck brick kid!” He tosses a brick at Kevin and misses.

Neyz: My favorite line.

*Marv and Harry climb down the rope and wonder why they’re smelling kerosene. Kevin lights the rope on fire as Harry shouts to go back up. They fall off the rope, crashing through wood with cans of sticky wood finish falling on them. Kevin runs to a payphone, calls the cops and tells them the Bandits will be in Central Park West and they have a gun. Marv and Harry chase Kevin who slips on black ice and falls. Marv and Harry pick him up and say to go for a nice stroll in the park. Harry brings him under a tunnel and takes the pictures of them robbing the place. Harry pulls out a gun covered in goo and points it at Kevin. The pigeons begin to show as Marv gets scared. Harry “I never made it to the 6th grade and it doesn’t like you’re going to either.” Pigeon Lady shows up and tells Kevin to run. Harry tries to shoot her but can’t because the gun is too slippery and Lady douses them with pigeon seed. The pigeons attack and stop the bandits as Kevin lights the fireworks he bought earlier*

Warlock: Oooh….ahhhhh….ooooh….ahhhh

*The cops show up and arrest Marv and Harry. Marv tells the cops everything as Harry keeps kicking him as they’re led away. Marv can’t spell Sticky”

Neyz: Hahhahaha

*Back at Mr. Duncan’s, the police say they got the money back and the suspects are in custody. Mr. Duncan reads the note its Kevin apologizing for breaking the window and says he’ll pay for it when he gets back to Chicago. Duncan smiles. Kate chats with a veteran cop who calms her down and says to put herself in his shoes. Kate then realizes where he is and says she has to get Rockefeller Center. Kevin is at the tree and asks for his mom*

Warlock: Awww he wants his mommy, c’mon.

*Kevin says he needs to tell his mom he’s sorry and Kate shows up*

Neyz: Isn’t that just weird?

*Kevin and Kate apologize and embrace each other*

Warlock: Mushy

Neyz: Mush mush mushhhhh

*Kate says he knew where to find him because of his love for Christmas Trees*

Warlock: Better detective work than the cops.

*Next morning Fuller awakes first surrounded by empty coke cans. “Holy smokes its Christmas morning.” Kevin “Don’t get your hopes up.” Fuller invites everyone upstairs where there are Christmas presents everywhere. They have no idea where they came from. Buzz figures out they were from Mr. Duncan. He says its only fair that Kevin opens the first present. Kevin spots the turtle doves and sneaks outside while everyone opens the presents. Kevin runs to the park and says Merry Christmas to Pigeon Lady. He hands one of the turtle doves to her and say they’ll be friends forever. Lady “Oh Kevin. Thank you.” Kevin “I won’t forget you, trust me.” They embrace*

Neyz: Awww look at the birds!

*Cedric knocks on the door and hands Buzz the room service bill. He holds his hand out for tip and Buzz gives him his chewing gum he had in his mouth.  Buzz reads the bill and its for 967 dollars “Oh daddddddd.”  Peter “KEVIN, YOU SPENT NINE HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS ON ROOM SERVICE!!!???”

Warlock: Better run.

*Neyz is silent*

Warlock: Nevermind.

Neyz: What?

*End credits*

Warlock: Classic movie.

Neyzor Blades assessment: 9.5 out of 10 for the sappy factor, but it is a Christmas movie. Point five off is because its much too sappy.

Warlock’s assessment: I give it 9 out of 10. It was almost the exact same movie with Pigeon Lady replacing Old Man Marley. I will say I’ll give an extra point five because the one liners were funnier and we got a little bit of background from Marv and Harry

Final Grade: 9 out of 10 – Classic

*Warlock remains on the couch snuggled up*

Warlock: That was awesome. In its own way it was superior to the first although the magic of the first can’t really be duplicated. All in all its a Christmas classic and should be viewed by everyone.

*They kiss*

Neyz : Merry Christmas mush mush

*They kiss again*

Warlock: mushmusush…Have a pleasant evening.

*The screen fades and when it comes back, Warlock is standing in his own doorway still wearing the tent pjs and sleeping cap*

Warlock: That could have been me huh? I could be living it up and having fun if I chose to respect her feelings. Maybe I should have watched Elf after all. I should give Neyz a ring in the morn…

*All of a sudden the lights go out and Warlock’s laptop buzzes. An incoming skype call awaits*

Warlock: Now what?

TO BE CONTINUED

66. Home Alone (1990)

*The Warlock is sitting at his kitchen table on Christmas Eve looking sad. He’s wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, no shoes, socks, jacket or shades.*

Warlock: All because I wanted to watch Santa’s Slay instead of Elf. Come on…

*Warlock flashbacks to several hours before when he told Neyzor Blades they were going to watch Santa’s Slay on Christmas morning instead of Elf which is what she wanted to see. Neyz got really mad*

Neyz: I swear to god its 1 out of 25 with you. You find the worst diarrhea possible instead of watching what I want. I’ve had it with you, I’m out of here! All I wanted was a nice Christmas together and instead you want to subject me to this crap?  Don’t bother calling me!

*Back at Warlock’s table he begins to nod off. He awakes to a sound of a voice*

J-Magic: Hey dumbass.

Warlock: Who is that? Go away.

J-Magic: Warlock..IN THERE..NOW!

Warlock: Go away J-Magic I’m not in the mood…Wait…J-MAGIC???

*Warlock pops up like Popeye and standing in the doorway is the transparent spirit of J-Magic, dressed in his old Patriots jacket, jeans and glasses*

Warlock: This can’t be possible, you..you…you’re dead.

J-Magic: *mocking him* You-you-you’re right! Give the man a prize.

Warlock: I need to lay off the soda, this can’t be happening.

J-Magic: Why do you doubt your senses?

Warlock: Because…a little thing effects them.  A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheat. You may be a bit of undigested beef! A glop of mustard, a crumb of cheese. Yes, there’s more gravy than a grave about you!

J-Magic: You don’t even eat gravy.

Warlock: That’s not the point. You’re not really here, I don’t know why I’m seeing you.

J-Magic: Ok then. I will leave.

*He begins to disappear*

Warlock: No wait. I’ll bite, what are you doing here?

*He reappears*

J-Magic: In life I was your best friend. You and I learned the arts of magic together. Although I’ll always be the better wizard.

Warlock: You’re a wizard, I’m a warlock, big difference.

J-Magic: Not really if you want to get technical.

Warlock: Anyway, the point?

J-Magic: Ever since I died you’ve been watching increasingly bad movies. I mean you and I saw some stinkers but seriously, Watch Me? Legend of Sorrow Creek? Ooga Booga?

Warlock: Hey that’s not fair, I liked Ooga Booga.

J-Magic: Yeah, YOU did. You had to put our former associate Mr. America and this Mr. Wallstreet fellow through that torture. Also I saw what happened today with Neyzor Blades. She’s been a real trooper for you since I passed and this is how you treat her? Ankle Biters? Santa’s Slay, really?

Warlock: It’s got Goldberg in it.

J-Magic: Really?

Warlock: Yeah.

J-Magic: Oh cool…gahhh I mean…SHAME ON YOU!

*Building begins to rumble*

Warlock: Ok, ok, I get it. What do you want from me?

J-Magic: Me? Nothing. I just wanted to check out the Superbowl 49 banner. Think they have a shot this year?

Warlock: They’re 11-2 right now, if they get Amendola, Hightower and Edelman back, they should win it all.

J-Magic: I hope you’re right.

Warlock: So that’s it?

J-Magic: Also I’m here to deliver you a message. You will be visited by three spirits tonight to teach you the error of your ways.

Warlock: Oh good god, I’m Scrooge?

J-Magic: Shut up and play along.

Warlock: It is really nice to see you again, for real.

J-Magic: Hey cut that out, you’re supposed to be the heel here

Warlock: Oh yeah…*gets serious* strange apparition why must you bother me? Away with you!

J-Magic: Three spirits Warlock. THREE SPIRITS….CHANGE YOUR WAYS!

*J-Magic disappears*

Warlock: I need to lay off the soda, now I’m seeing shit.

*Warlock shuts the lights off and lays on the couch. A little while later he awakes to all the lights being turned on*

Warlock : What the hell?

*A figure in the doorway to the bedroom appears*

Warlock: Mr. America?

*Mr. America is standing in the doorway wearing white bedsheets as a cloak and hood*

Mr. America: Greetings Warlock, it is I the ghost of Christmas Past!

Warlock: Dude, you’re not even dead.

America: Shut up and play along.

Warlock: Wait…are those my bedsheets?

America: That’s not important. What IS important is your past! I’m here to show you your past!

Warlock: I don’t need to be shown my past. I lived it.

America: Dude it’s only a montage. To show everything would take too long. Even Rocky had a montage.

Warlock: Alright make it quick.

*Mr. America flaps his arms like a bird and says OGABOOGABOOGAOOGABOOGA before picking up the tv remote and hitting the On button then running over to press the play button on the DVD player*

Warlock: Really?

*The tv plays home movies of Warlock as a child and chilling with America as a teen*

Warlock: Yes that’s wonderful, what am I supposed to be looking at?

America: This is your past. Look how happy you were. Look at what life was like before you started watching garbage. In fact, I remember one Christmas in particular. Let me show you.

*Mr. America starts flapping his arms again*

Warlock: Will you cut…

*America’s voice changes to demonic and the camera rotates into a 360 until fading*

Warlock: Woahhhh how you doing that?

*The scene shifts to Warlock’s childhood house. Its Christmas Eve 2003. Warlock is on the left side of the couch. His hair is significantly longer and he’s wearing a blue Reebok Number #93 Richard Seymour New England Patriots jersey, blue jeans and white sneakers. Mr. America is on the other side of the couch putting the VHS tape into the VCR. His hair is longer and he’s wearing a green Christmas Sweater, Khaki pants and white sneakers. From the corner, Ghost America and present Warlock look on*

Warlock: Heh, my old jersey. Look at your sweater.

America: Yeah I tried to forget about that…gerrrr I mean, that is not me! I am the Ghost of Christmas Past!

Warlock: Whatever, how can they not see us standing here?

America: This is a flashback. We’re not really here.

Warlock: Ohhh. So what’s the point of this?

America: This was back when you and I…err Mr. America were still watching good movies. You remember those days don’t you? Well look what we watched.

*Camera focuses on the younger version*

17 year old Warlock: I really need to get this movie on DVD.

18 year old America: Why? VHS tapes are cheaper.

Warlock: Nevermind, ready for the movie?

America: Yup, Merry Christmas.

Warlock: Merry Christmas dude.

*Over in the corner*

Present day Warlock: I think I’m going to hurl.

Ghost America: Me too.

*Back to the younger version. 17 year old Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “An 8-year old troublemaker must protect his home from a pair of burglars when he is accidentally left home alone by his family during Christmas vacation.”

America: If I ever have a kid, and am a horrible parent, have them capture burglars…I’d be rich!

*Movie opens with A John Hughes Production*

Warlock: He could do no wrong in the 80’s.

*Its bedlam at the McCallister family household. Peter (John Heard), Kate (Catherine O’Hara), Kevin (Macaulay Culkin), Buzz (Devin Ratray), Linnie (Angela Goethals), Frank (Gerry Bamman), Megan (Hillary Wolf),  Jeff (Michael C Marrona), Heather (Kristin Minter), Sondra (Diana Rein), Rod (Jedidiah Cohen), Fuller (Kieran Culkin), Tracy (Senta Moses Mikan), Brooke (Anna Slotky), Leslie (Terrie Snell) and Georgette (Virginia Smith) are running around preparing for their big family vacation to Paris. Harry (Joe Pesci) disguised as a police officer tries to get someone’s attention but fails miserably*

Warlock: I forgot how funny that was.

*Kevin complains that Frank won’t let him watch a movie, Kate tells him tough luck. Kate says he was in the garage playing with the glue gun. Kevin “Did I burn down the joint? I don’t think so.”

Warlock: Classic line.

*Kevin asks Jeff how to pack a suitcase. Megan tells him he’s completely useless. Jeff tells him to pack toilet paper and water. Linnie calls him incompetent in French and says Fuller will wet the bed. Kevin jumps up and down and says he’s living alone*

Warlock: Its not as cracked up as it sounds.

*Kevin asks if Buzz will let him sleep in his room. Buzz “I wouldn’t let you sleep in my room if you were growing on my ass”

Warlock: Hahahahaha

*Old Man Marley (Roberts Blossom) salts the sidewalk as Buzz tells a cockamamie story that he’s a serial killer who murdered people with a shovel. As soon as Buzz is done, he looks up at them*

America: I see you!!!

*Pizza delivery guy (Dan Charles Zukoski) takes out the statue in the front yard*

Warlock: Boing!!

*Harry talks to Fuller and her sister and neither answer*

America: Heh.

*Delivery Guy  “That’ll be 122.50”  Harry “Don’t look at me kid, I don’t live here”

Warlock: He’ll shoot him.

*Family leaves Delivery Guy standing there as they eat pizza. Kevin figures out Buzz ate all his pizza. Buzz mocks throwing up on him and Kevin jumps him, crushing Fuller against a chair. A melee leaves the whole family yelling at Kevin. Uncle Frank “Look what ya did ya little jerk!” Kate “Kevin get upstairs.” Jeff “You’re such a disease”

Warlock: They’re all assholes.

*Kate tells Harry their travel plans. Harry smiles and his gold teeth shines. As soon as Kevin gets upstairs “There’s 15 people in this house, you’re the only one that has to make trouble.”  Kevin “I don’t want any family, families suck. I don’t want to see anyone again for the rest of my life.” Kate makes him say it again. “I hope I never see any of you jerks again.” He thinks to himself “I wish they would all just disappear”

America: Don’t worry you’ll get your wish.

*A power outage during the night caused by a falling branch kills the McCallister’s alarm clock*

Warlock: Take cover!

America: Time to call the electric company.

*McCallister family realizes they slept in and everyone’s in chaos. We get a montage of people getting ready to Peter Tchaikovsky’s Dance ”   Meanwhile, Mitch Murphy shows up (Jeffrey Wiseman) and annoys everybody.

Warlock: Who the hell is this kid?

*Everyone piles into the vans only Mitch is counted in Kevin’s place*

Warlock: Oops!

*Repairman tells Kate the power is fixed but the phone lines will be down a few days.*

Warlock: Telephone company sucks.

*Family runs through the airport to Chuck Berry’s Run Run Rudolph. America bobs head around*

*Kevin talks to himself and puts on aftershave, screaming*

The answering machine goes off and its Peter saying to go check on Kevin. Marv and Harry figure out the McCallisters are gone and they’re going to hit the house up that night*

America: I can’t tell you who best supporting actor is, but I can tell you who the worst supporting actor is.

Warlock: *drumroll*

America: The shelf!

Warlock: Good call.

*Kevin tries to buy a toothbrush but Old Man Marley has him scared again. He runs off as Jimmy (Richard J Firfer) chases him outside. A police officer chases Kevin but he makes it home safe. Kevin “I’m a criminal.” Scene shifts to Marv who plugs the Murphy’s sink and turns the water on. He gets to the car and Harry yells at him not to do that. Marv says its his calling card, they’re the Wet Bandits. They nearly run Kevin over but miss him by an inch. Harry yells at him but then says Merry Christmas and smiles, the gold tooth shining. Kevin recognizes it and runs off. Marv “What’s the matter?”

America: The statue! He keeps getting back up, what a trooper!

*Kevin fools the delivery guy by pretending to be Johnny from the movie. The pizza is 11 and change and he gives the guy 12 from behind the door. Delivery Guy calls him a cheapskate and Kevin plays the part where Johnny starts shooting to send Delivery Guy away running and speeding off in his car*

America: Wouldn’t this end the movie right here?

Warlock: How?

America: Wouldn’t his line of reasoning be “Hey, I’m getting shot at while delivering a pizza. I think I should call the cops.” So the cops come by and Kevin is saved!

Warlock: That’s one way to ruin the movie.

America: Maybe we should keep track of ways to ruin the movie in the future.

*Kevin “A lovely cheese pizza just for me”

Warlock: I wish I had pizza.

America: What?

Warlock: He got over his fear.

*Marv and Harry wonder why there’s no one at the McCallister house. Harry tells Marv to check it out. Marv “Now?” Harry “No, tomorrow egghead. NOW!” Marv goes to break in and drops his shoe. He says “Shit!”

Warlock: They cursed?

America: Apparently.

*Kevin puts on the movie and lights firecrackers to scare of Marv. Marv goes head over heels into the garbage before running back to Harry. Marv reports that two burglars beat them to it and one of them killed the other. Harry figures that they should stick around so they can frame whoever is the murderer*

Warlock: At least Harry is no dumbass.

*Kate tries to sob story the Scranton ticket taker (Alan Wilder) and says she’s getting home come hell or high water. Meanwhile Gus Polinski (John Candy) and his Polka Band says they’ll give her a ride back to Chicago*

Warlock: John Candy saves the day!

*Marv and Harry spot Kevin coming out of the house to cut down a nearby Christmas tree. Harry figures out that Kevin is home alone. Kevin decorates the tree as Harry sneaks up on him. Kevin tries to play it off*

America: Just act natural.

*Kevin overhears Marv and Harry saying they’re coming back at 9 to rob the place. Marv “Kids are afraid of the dark.” Harry “You are too.” Kevin “Mom where are you?”

Warlock: Fashionably late.

*Polinski and his band play Deck the Halls on their way to Chicago*

Warlock: Not a bad rendition.

*Kevin drops by Santa’s Workshop when a female Elf (Sandra Macat) says Santa is about to leave. The Santa (Ken Hudson Campbell) gets a parking ticket. “What’s next, rabies shots from the Easter Bunny?”

Warlock: Bahahaha.

*Kevin tells Santa to tell the REAL Santa that he wants his family back. Santa says he’ll see what I can do. He hands Kevin some tic tacs since the Elf girl took the last of the candy canes. Kevin walks off as Santa’s car stalls. “Sonova!”*

Warlock and America: Hahahaha

*Kevin walks by a house having a Christmas party and is sad. He walks by the church seen earlier and goes in. Old Man Marley spots him and sits next to the stunned Kevin. “Merry Christmas, may I sit down?” Kevin nods.  Marley “That’s my granddaughter up there, the little red-head girl.” Marley says he’s not the monster everyone says he is, Kevin nods. Kevin spills his guts and Marley says its understandable. Marley says he’s there because his son won’t let him see his granddaughter. There was an argument many years ago and neither one of them said they wanted to see each other anymore. Kevin gives him a pep talk to not be afraid to call his son to make amends. Marley tells him to head on home and it was nice talking to him. They exchange merry christmases and Kevin leaves*

Warlock: That’s a powerful scene.

*America sips from a coffee mug*

Warlock: Hey, sip your tea correctly. Get that pinkie up!

America: Its not freakin tea!

Warlock: Oh…ok, nevermind.

*Kevin: “This is my house, I have to defend it!* Kevin then places traps all around the house in a carefully orchestrated battle plan*

Warlock: I don’t know, that tarantula could still win.

*Marv and Harry says they’ll go in the back door as Kevin heats up a mac and cheese for dinner. The bell tolls 9 and Kevin blows out the candles*

Warlock: Showtime.

*Kevin grabs the bb-gun as Marv and Harry knock on the door and say let him in. Kevin shoots Harry in the gonads*

Warlock: Ow

America: Owie!

*Harry sticks his head and in and Kevin blasts him right between the eyes. He says “YES!”.  Harry tells Marv he’s going in front, Marv to the basement. Harry immediately slips and falls down the slippery steps. Marv does the same down the basement. Marv “Ow.”

America: A little bit of a delayed ow but I’d have the same reaction too.

*Harry slips and falls again while Marv uses his crowbar to make it to his feet. He uses the crowbar to get the door open. He walks in and goes to turn on the light, only when he pulls on the chord an iron comes down and hits him in the face. Meanwhile Harry makes it to the front door and puts his hand on the burning hot doorknob. He plunges his hand n the snow and when he removes it, it has an imprint of the knob on his hand. Meanwhile Marv walks up the tarred basement steps and steps on a nail sticking out*

Warlock: That would hurt like hell.

*Harry “I’m gonna rip his head off. Around back again, Harry opens the door and a blowtorch fries the top of his head. He plunges his head into the snow*

Warlock: Where the hell did he get the blowtorch?

America: I don’t know.

*Marv walks outside and slips again. Harry kicks the door open. “Where are you ya little creep?”

America: Like he’s gonna tell you.

*Marv “Harry, I’m coming in!” Harry gets feathered as Marv steps on christmas ornaments barefoot*

Warlock: He’d be bleeding all over the place.

*Harry “Why’d you take your shoes off?” Marv “Why you dressed like a chicken?” They slip on micromachines as Kevin taunts them. They then get nailed in the face by swinging paint cans. The one that hit Harry knocked out his gold tooth. Kevin calls the cops pretending to be Murphy. Harry and Marv spot him and Harry trips over a tripwire but Marv makes a lunge for him. Kevin grabs the tarantula and puts it on Marv’s face who screams high pitched*

Warlock: Told you the tarantula is the best supporting actor.

America: No!

*Marv spots the tarantula crawling on Harry and nails him in the gut as the tarantula moves just in time. Harry enraged starts hitting Marv with the crowbar as Kevin ziplines to his treehouse*

Warlock: That looked fun.

*Kevin insults Marv and Harry who says he’s gonna call the cops. Marv says to get him as Harry says that’s what he wants. Marv “He’s gonna call the cops” Harry “FROM A TREEHOUSE??” Kevin then cuts the rope with hedge clippers and the two burglars swing into a brick wall*

Warlock: Taking a serious beating.

*Marv and Harry chase Kevin across the street to the Murphy house. Kevin “I’m gonna call the cops!” Harry holds back Marv and says he’s got a better idea. Kevin runs through the flooded basement and up the stairs, only Marv and Harry are there waiting. They string him up and threaten to bite his fingers off. Old Man Marley sneaks up on them and wipe both burglars out with a shovel*

Warlock: That was a little quick.

*The cops show up to the Murphy house and arrest Marv and Harry as Kevin watches from his window. One of the cops says they know their M.O. now as they’re led away in a squad car. Mel Torme sings Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas as Kevin leaves milk and cookies for Santa, waiting for his family*

Warlock: And that ends Marv and Harry’s part in this movie.

*Kate and Polinski share bonding moments about children and Polinski says he left his kid at a funeral parlor. Next morning Kevin wakes up, its snowing outside…and the house is empty*

Warlock: Least he gets a White Christmas.

*Kevin walks outside and again no one is there, he’s distraught. Suddenly the van pulls up and Kate gets out. Kevin stares at a picture as Kate comes in the door. She calls for him and they embrace*

Warlock: Awww a Kodak moment.

*Kevin asks where everyone else is and just as Kate says they couldn’t make it, they all walk in the door. Peter says they took the morning flight home. Kevin says he went shopping for milk, eggs and fabric softener. Peter then finds the gold tooth on the ground as Kevin looks out the window and sees Old Man Marley reunited with his family. Kevin smiles but then Buzz shouts out “KEVIN? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM??”

Warlock: You better run.

America: Better run for your life!

*End credits, Warlock applauds*

America’s assessment: Pretty good movie. I give it a 7.5

Warlock’s assessment:  A true classic although there were some potholes. The mannequins and the blowtorch were a little funny. I still give it an 8.5 out of 10.

Final Grade: 8 out of 10, Brilliant

*Bonus*

Warlock: By the way, Merry Christmas, the statue won best supporting actor.

America: You’re welcome, thanks for having me.

*They shake hands as the scene fades, Warlock wakes up on the couch again*

Warlock: Huh who what? Ugh…just a dream.

*He notices the bedsheets on the ground*

Warlock: God damn moron. At least he could have put the sheets back.

*Warlock gathers his sheets, dusts them off and goes into his bedroom. He puts on his Boston Celtics pajama pants and the sheets back on again. He climbs in bed and goes back to sleep. A short while later he awakes to all the lights on again*

Warlock: Here we go again…

Warlock: That was a really cool special effect.

*Melissa wakes up screaming and the sorority sisters scream too.They throw pillows at her for waking them up*

America: Now she has enough pillows to build a pillow fort now.

*Sister Gloria uses a yardstick and pretends to fence with it*

Warlock: Ok, my early vote for best supporting actor is the yard-stick because it thinks its a sword.

*Father Bob (Rod McCarary) comes in and wants to talk to Gloria about the school dance*

America: She has a confession to make. She leads a double life as a ninja. Also, I too vote for the yard-stick just for the sheer flexibility its shown so far.

Wallstreet: I lost the vote even before I casted one.

*Father Bob says the kids should help run and set up the dance. Gloria says they’re here on disciplinary orders from their parents. Father Bob says the kids deserve some leeway. Gloria says she’s been at St Rita’s for 15 years and the previous father was never like that. Bob leaves*

Warlock: I like it

*Bibi tries to use the lipstick but it grows a tongue and scares her. Shirley grabs it and uses it*

Warlock: Ok, now what?

*Shirley calls herself dollface then pulls the lipstick out again. It then attaches itself inside her mouth.Now the door is locked and the lipstick turns into a tentacle*

Warlock: I see where this is going….

Warlock: Yup…I knew it.

*Angela appears from a cloud of smoke and pulls Shirley in for a long kiss*

Warlock: That ain’t no woman, that’s a demon.

America: For once Warlock is right.

*Perry says the lipstick is how the demons got out of Hull House. Gloria says to go get Father Bob to give Rick last rites. Gloria says she needs to prepare.  Montage shows Gloria getting ready ninja style*

Wallstreet: What the heck?

America: Balloon grenades!

*Johnny and Bibi run to find Kurt and Terri as Perry turns his super soaker into a holy water cannon*

Warlock: This is actually fun.

*Kurt and Terri make out as a hand reaches up and unzips Kurt’s pants. He notices Terri’s hands are up on his face. He looks down and Angela’s hand gives him the finger*

Warlock: Baaahahahahaha

*Angela chases them inside the dorm. Angela cuts Kurt’s head off with her machete. Terri runs outside and Shirley gives her the french kiss of death. Terri struggles initially and then returns it*

Warlock: This movie is ahead of its time.

*Johnny wakes Father Bob up as Angela walks into Melissa’s room. Melissa doesn’t believe its real and Angela gives a sob story*

America: Don’t trust her!

*Angela says she’s going to take Melissa away to a happy place. They hug and Angela’s face turns. Meanwhile Father Bob wants to know what’s going on. Perry packed an arsenal and Gloria says good. Meanwhile Bibi searches for Melissa*

Wallstreet: She’s done. Run for your life!

*Demon Terri snatches Bibi who screams. Johnny, Perry and Gloria jump to her rescue. Perry pours holy water down Terri’s throat who pukes green stuff out. Terri goes back to normal and Gloria whacks the puke. “Touche!”

Warlock: That was cool.

*Perry spots Angela and Melissa leaving together. Rick and Shirley pull up and the five drive off. Father Bob confronts Bibi, Johnny, Gloria and Perry. He doesn’t believe any of them. Perry says he’s going to Hull House to save Melissa. Gloria won’t let them leave. Bob says they’ll all go just so he can lay the legend of Hull House to rest*

Warlock: One less headache for him.

*Perry, Bob, Gloria, Johnny and Bibi make it to Hull House*

Warlock: Ok, we got a 5 on 5 Survivor Series.  Perry,Bob, Gloria, Johnny and Bibi against Melissa, Angela, Rick, Z-Boy and Shirley.

*Bob says they should split up*

America: IDIOT!!

*Perry says he’ll go with Bob to protect him from himself. Gloria, Johnny and Bibi agree to head upstairs. A gurney wheels by on its own. Johnny “What the hell?”

Warlock: Hell is right.

*Bibi is trapped behind a door. Johnny goes for a running start but HE gets trapped in other room. Angela punches him out a window. Gloria is now on her own. Meanwhile Perry and Bob run into Rick. Bob disarms Perry and Rick kills Father with a dagger. Perry uses the water balloon grenade to literally blow rick’s head off. Angela chases him away*

Wallstreet: He’s out of ammo.

America: People never learn to reload….and NOT to split up.

Warlock: Down to 4 on 4 now.

*Johnny runs into Kurt bouncing his own head as a basketball. “Larry Bird shoots, he scores!”

Warlock: Hahaha

*Kurt reattaches his head, corners Johnny and goes to give him the Moe Howard special eyepoke but Perry saves the day with another holy water balloon grenade. Kurt’s head falls off and says “That’s a technical foul.” Perry “No, field goal!”  Perry kicks Kurt’s head over the wall*

Warlock: ITS GOOD!!!!!

*Johnny asks where Bob is. Perry says don’t ask and wipes out Kurt with another grenade. Z-Boy then jumps out and nails Perry in the head with the spiked bat. Perry turns but Johnny saves him with the holy water. Perry says to save Melissa and dies for real this time*

Warlock and America: *Fake death* ehhhhhhh

Wallstreet: His troubles are over.

Warlock: Down to 4 on 3.

Wallstreet: Advantage demons.

*Bibi walks down a hallway and goes to open a door*

America: Oh boy, door handle!

*Demon Z-Boy stalks Bibi and goes to rape her. Gloria uses the rosary beads as nunchucks*

Warlock: Heh, get it…nun-chucks

America: Ughhhhhh

*Bob walks up and snatches Bibi as Shirley wrestles with Gloria. Johnny shows up and saves the day with hoky water grenades and the holy water cannon. Shirley and Bob melt into each other. Z-Boy shows up and Bibi hits him in the gonads with a holy water balloon grenade. He collapses*

Warlock: Just like that its 3 on 2.

Wallstreet: Advantage humans.

*The trio walks up to Melissa about to be sacrificed. Angela’s voice (James W Quinn) says its time for the final battle. Angela promptly beheads Gloria and knocks the weapons out of Johnny’s hands. Suddenly Gloria’s head grows back and she taunts Angela*

Warlock: Wait, what the fuck?

Wallstreet: Did NOT see that coming.

*Angela makes Gloria and Melissa switch places. Angela tells Mellisa to behead Gloria. Angela then uses her power to stop Johnny and Bibi in their tracks. Melissa goes to kill Gloria but stops and and stabs Angela instead. Gloria pulls out Perry’s uzi and melts Angela with it slowly*

Wallstreet: Ah lovely, severe sinus infection right there.

*Gloria says let’s get out of here. They walk into another room that wasn’t there before. Suddenly Angela comes in as a giant rattlesnake and taunts them. Snake Angela knocks down Johnny and Gloria. Angela snatches Bibi and Melissa. Johnny then kicks out the barred window and the sunlight melts Angela*

America: Forget your sun screen?

*Angela explodes*

America: Even better.

Warlock: Are they ever gonna explain how Gloria is still alive?

*Gloria: “Let’s go home children”

Wallstreet: And when we get there, you’re all grounded.

*Gloria drives the van back with Johnny, Bibi and Melissa. A random person finds the lipstick that turns into a really bad cgi snake. End credits*

Warlock: So they’re never gonna explain that huh?

Wallstreet: I saw the head get cut off.

Wallstreet’s Assessment:  I don’t know. I give it a 5 out of 10, I liked it.

America’s Assessment: I’ll give it a 4. Decent production value it, not the strongest storyline but at least it was coherant.

Warlock:  I was going to give it a 6 for the special effects, nudity, and the holy water weapons….but…..the fact Gloria was never explained ruined it. I give it a 4.5 for that horrific oversight alone.

Final Grade: 4 out of 10….Bad

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Dammit…dammit..DAMMIT! I wanted to like the movie, I really did. It had good gore effects, easy to follow storyline and generous nudity. That ending ruined it. Thank you to the Mac Brothers for the donation…

*The dvd box then levitates in the air*

America: Nice trick, can I put the dvd away please?

Warlock: I’m not doing that…

*Suddenly the lights go out, the dvd box begins to smoke and Wallstreet runs and stands behind America and Warlock*

Wallstreet: What in the world is going on?

*The room glows red and out of the smoke appears Angela in demon form*

Angela: Hello pathetic fools, I’ve come for your souls!

*America barrel rolls behind the couch and grabs his carbine rifle*

America: Guys get out of the way I can’t get a clean shot!

*Angela levitates and cackles*

Warlock: Its ok guys I got this.

*Warlock levitates and flames emit from his palms. Angela stops cackling*

Angela: Warlock?

Warlock: Yes ma’am.

Angela: Oh….nevermind. Lucinda says hi.

*Angela disappears and the dvd box falls into Wallstreets hands*

Wallstreet: Gyaaa-Ahh!

*Wallstreet tosses the box to America who puts the dvd back in. He tosses the box to Warlock. Angela on the cover winks at him. Warlock smiles and goes to ship the movie back*

Warlock: Have a pleasant evening.

64. Rocky 6: Rocky Balboa (2006)

*Scroll of the name T-H-E-W-A-R-L-O-C-K appears as Warlock does push-ups in his basement. He’s wearing a gray t-shirt, maroon workout shorts and white sneakers*

Warlock: Welcome…to my lair….welcome….don’t think so…..enter….dare…..Warlock

*He drops and breathes heavy before getting to his feet and walks upstairs*

Warlock: Tonight we finish off the tribute to the theatrical release of Creed with the 6th and formerly final movie of the series, Rocky Balboa.

*Neyzor Blades is sitting in the recliner wearing all black*

Neyz: Its about time, you’ve been wearing that same outfit for days and you stink to high heavens.

Warlock: Nobody asked you. Anyway before Creed I felt this was the second best movie of the series behind the first. Rocky gets the urge to fight 15 years after retiring and he takes on the current heavyweight champion.

Neyz: How?

*Warlock takes his seat on the couch*

Warlock: Let’s find out, without further delay its time for Rocky Balboa.

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

Warlock: “Thirty years after the ring of the first bell, Rocky Balboa comes out of retirement and dons his gloves for his final fight; against the reigning heavyweight champ Mason ‘The Line’ Dixon”

Neyz: He just won’t quit. Every time he says he’s going to retire I’m like “That’s bullshit and you know it!”

*Movie opens with a scroll of ROCKY BALBOA to the Rocky theme*

Warlock: Goin old school!

*Mason “The Line” Dixon (Antonio Tarver) knocks out his opponent and the fans are bored*

Warlock: That’s the real life light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver

*Fans pelt the ring with garbage as the announcers speculate if anybody can hang with Dixon*

Warlock: There’s your fight at the end.

*Opening credits with a new version of Take You Back by Frank Stallone and we’re introduced to an aged Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone)

Neyz: Where’s Uncle Paulie?

Warlock: He’s there.

*Rocky says hi to Cuff and Link*

Warlock: Turtles have a lifespan of 50 years, that could be them.

*Rocky and Paulie (Burt Young) visit the grave of Adrian*

Neyz: Did she not want to do it anymore?

Warlock: No, Stallone wanted the emotional aspect of losing his wife as part of the story, that’s why she was killed off. She was on board with it.

*Rocky asks Paulie if he’ll take the tour with him, Paulie says sure even though its Thanksgiving*

Warlock: This was set 30 years after the first movie.

*Rocky Jr aka Robert (Milo Ventimiglia) gets berated by his boss as Rocky looks on. Rocky invites Robert over for dinner but he refuses. Rocky asks if its him and Robert’s boss William Tomlinson (Robert Michael Kelly) wants a picture with Rocky*

Neyz: He just yelled at him!

*Rocky buys groceries for his restaurant Adrian’s, opened in 1995*

Warlock: That’s the Victor Cafe in real life in Philly.

Neyz: Opened in 1995

Warlock: Yeah, 5 years after beating the shit out of Tommy Gunn

*Isabel (Ana Genera) complains about Spider Rico (Pedro Lovell) sitting and reading his bible. Rocky goes downstairs and checks on the cooks then tells old boxing stories to his patrons*

Warlock: That’s his tribute to Jack Dempsey. He used to do that after he retired. By the way that’s the same actor who played Spider Rico in the first movie.

*Dixon watches film of his fight and is mad as Robert cancels on his father. He goes on the tour beginning with the old pet shop J & M Tropical Fish. They then visit Mick’s old gym and the sign is falling apart. Paulie “I ain’t no talking building”

Neyz: Look how old they are!!

*They visit Rocky’s old apartment from the first movie. He reminisces about Adrian as Paulie asks if he’s done. They then visit the site of the old ice rink. Paulie is increasingly angry*

Neyz: Why is he such a grump? Is this an anniversary?

Warlock: Yeah, Thanksgiving.

*Rocky asks what’s wrong with Paulie. Paulie says stop living in the past. He says Rocky treated Adrian good,he treated her bad. He can’t do this anymore*

Warlock: He loves her.

*Rocky goes to his old bar now called Lucky Seven Tavern. He runs into Marie (Geraldine Hughes)*

Warlock: That was supposed to be the original actress but for some reason Stallone went with this actress.

*Angie (Angela Boyd) wants Rocky to buy her and her friends around. Rocky rejects her and she insults him walking away*

Neyz: Wow what a bitch.

*Rocky volunteers to drive Marie home. Marie says she got married but the guy took off. She has a son.  The dude from the bar, two girls and Angie walk outside and insult them. Rocky gets out of the car, goes up to the dude, threatens to beat him up and the dude apologizes. He gets back in the car and Marie smiles*

Neyz: He better not come out with a gun, that’s how it is nowadays.

*Dixon goes up to his old trainer Martin (Henry G Sanders). Meanwhile Rocky and Marie look at her slumlord apartment. He says the old club from the first movie is down the street. Rocky sees a white kid and a black kid and Marie says her kid resembles him. She says her son is the black kid Steps (James Francis Kelly III). Rocky asks if he’s mad at him and she says no. Rocky says his goodbye but thinks twice about it. Rocky invites them to his restaurant in his own goofy way*

Neyz: Is he giving her shit?

Warlock: No, he’s being nice.

*Dixon talks with Martin and Martin says he needs to be challenged. He says when he’s battered, bruised and his opponent isn’t running, that’s when he finds out he’s a real man.*

Warlock: Good character development

*Rocky takes pictures with restaurant patrons but Isabel tells him Spider went downstairs. Spider is doing the dishes and tells Rocky he got lucky last time, let him work*

Warlock: I love it.

*Rocky walks upstairs and Marie and Steps are there. Meanwhile Robert is at an Irish pub with his friends. They watch a computer simulated fight between Mason Dixon and Rocky Balboa. Dixon also watches. Chuck Johnson says Balboa would win because he fought tougher opponents. Bernard Fernan picks rocky to win. Robert is miffed. Bert Randolph Sugar picks Dixon to win. The computer fight has Balboa knocking him out*

Warlock: This was based off the Marcaiano/Ali computer fight where Marciano won.

*The Irish pub cheers as Robert is angry. Meanwhile Rocky drives Steps and Marie home. Rocky asks if Steps wants a job. Marie asks why Rocky is being nice and Rocky plugs in a new light-bulb outside her apartment that damn near blinds him*

Warlock: That was a real reaction, he didn’t expect that.

*Rocky brings Steps to the dog pound. They find a ragged looking dog and Rocky says its deceptive because if he was cleaned up, he’d be great. Steps wants to call him Fleabag. Rocky says no, Steps says Punchy. Rocky likes it*

Neyz: That dog won best supporting actor.

Warlock: Hey that’s my line!

*Paulie walks in wearing his meat market outfit. He calls Punchy ugly*

Neyz: I love him.

*Paulie makes anti-semetic remarks and Spider Rico stares at him*

Warlock: Bahaha.

*LC Luco (AJ Benza), Mason’s manager is mad Dixon lost the fight. ESPN analysts say Rocky could have had no chance in real life and he was overrated. Balboa is hurt*

Neyz: Aww his pride is hurt.

*Rocky confronts Robert and says he wants to fight, Robert says its his ego talking. Robert says its a different world now. Rocky wants Robert in his corner and says “Home team?” Robert says no without being mean and gives him a hug. Meanwhile Paulie in the meat market tells Rocky he’s nuts while painting.*

Warlock: That’s Burt Young’s actual painting, he really could paint.

*Rocky says he still has stuff inside. Paulie asks him to talk about it. Rocky goes on an emotional rant saying there’s a beast inside him. It wasn’t supposed to be that hard losing Adrian. He asks Paulie for help training and Paulie says he can’t. Rocky walks away sad*

Warlock: Feeling emotional yet?

Neyz: It sucks, trying to block it out.

*Rocky applies for a new fighter’s license. The medical tests came back great and he says as human beings they deny him a license*

Warlock: So the brain damage from the 5th movie didn’t happen apparently.

*Rocky confronts them asking why can’t he fight. He goes on an epic speech saying nobody should tell him or anyone no. The older he gets the more he leaves behind*

Neyz: Sucks…

*Robert’s friends hand him a newspaper saying Balboa is healthy and indeed got his license. Robert is miffed. Meanwhile in Dixon’s camp, he tries to get Dixon to fight Balboa. LC says nobody wants to buy his ppvs and this fight could make millions. Dixon says he wants to go back to Martin and his roots*

Neyz: Wow, these guys are assholes.

*Robert brings Punchy to meet Marie. He asks Marie if she wants to replace Isabel when she goes on maternity leave. Marie is angered and Rocky wants to know why. He says dance with him because she’s dancing around her problems. He says she can say “Screw You Creepo” but he and Punchy will sit in the street and wave a bus down. Marie says there hasn’t been a bus there in 20 years. Rocky “Whew, that was a close call”. Marie agrees*

Warlock: He has a way to persuade people.

*Paulie gets fired from his job and in a blue shade of light, brings his paintings and big meat to the bar. Marie asks if he has a reservation, Paulie says “Do I look like an Indian?” Rocky asks what’s up and Paulie says he’s retired. Rocky says since when did they give retirees meat instead of watches. Paulie gets mad and screams that he’s got a watch. Rocky follows him and Paulie says he’ll be ok.  Marie says some guy wants to talk to him. It’s Dixon’s camp. LC and Lou Dibella (himself) try to convince Rocky to fight Dixon. Rocky says he wants to fight small and LC says to take the fight. The fight will be in Vegas and the gate will be ordered to charity. Rocky says he’ll think about it. LC says Dixon would have killed Balboa in Rocky’s prime*

Warlock: I highly doubt that.

*Rocky talks with Marie and Marie tells him to go for it. Rocky says he’s in. We cut to a press conference. Steps, Duke (Tony Burton), Paulie and Rocky on one side, LC and Dixon’s crew on the right. Duke says Rocky has a chance. Robert watches on tv disgusted. A reporter asks what happens if the loses, Dixon laughs it off but is continued to be pressed. He stands up and shouts he’s 33-0 and 30 knockouts and if he gets mad, Rocky gets hurt*

Neyz: I have no sympathy for the kid at all. He wasn’t there for him.

*Robert confronts Rocky outside and yells at him for going through with it*

Warlock: He’s wearing Jack Dempsey’s t-shirt to boot.

*Robert says he’s been living in Rocky’s shadow and he’s hurting him by taking the fight. Rocky then gives an epic speech saying something happened to Robert that stunted his growth as a person. He says he lost himself as a person and has to move forward. Rocky says he’s moving forward and he wants Robert to do it as well. “Until you start believing in yourself, you ain’t gonna have a life” Rocky goes back inside while Robert stands outside and ponders*

Warlock: Great life advice.

*Rocky sits at Adrian’s grave and Robert joins him. He asks if Robert got off early from work, Robert says he quit. Robert says he didn’t fit in*

Warlock: Wow, first Paulie gets laid off and now Robert quits. Neither one of them have a job.

Neyz: Apparently Adrian died in 2002.

*Robert says he’ll help train Rocky. They share a hug*

Neyz: Finally, ya bum!

*Duke says he can’t run, spar or move because of arthritis and being old. The only thing they have left is raw power. Duke “Let’s build some bombs!”  We get a montage of Rocky and Dixon training with the Rocky theme. Rocky is being trained by Duke, Paulie, Steps, Punchy and Robert*

Warlock: Not bad for pushing 60 in this movie. He admitted to being on HGH, which is legal if you’re not a pro athelete.

*Rocky pounds the raw meat in the meat market after Paulie lets him in*

Warlock: One final F-U to the meat market.

*Rocky runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum with Punchy in the snow and holds him up*

Neyz: He’s a babies!

*At the weigh in, Dixon wants to talk alone. Dixon says he’ll carry him as long as he doesn’t fight back. Rocky says he didn’t come there to lose. Rocky “Ain’t you a little scared?” Dixon “I don’t get scared” Rocky tells Robert after Dixon leaves that you fight better when scared*

Warlock: He’s right.

*Marie knocks on Rocky’s hotel room door and hands him a picture of Adrian from the restaurant and Rocky says its going to bring him luck. Marie says tomorrow he’ll prove that the last thing that will age is someone’s heart. He gives him a kiss and leaves*

Neyz: Ugh, she kissed him.

Warlock: A friendly peck, it was nothing.

Neyz: Still, I’d be pissed.

Warlock: Adrian’s dead, geez, its not like they’re fucking.

*Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Max Kellerman (themselves) announce the fight. The fight is at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Vegas. The “unappreciated” champion Dixon takes on the “ex-ex-ex champion” Rocky Balboa.  Rocky gets a pre-fight prayer from Spider Rico as he makes his way to the ring. Paulie says to get rid of the damn beast inside. “Please, I love you.”

Neyz: Yeah, he’s sick of the back and forth shit too.

*Rocky makes his entrance with High Hopes from Frank Sinatra as his theme. He enters with Spider, Paulie, Robert, Duke and Steps*

Neyz: If this was real life, I’d love to see this.

*The announcers says Rocky won’t last two rounds. Dixon makes his entrance and Steps loves the entrance theme*

Neyz: Was this Dixon’s theme in real life?

Warlock: Antonio Tarver? Maybe.

*Mike Tyson (himself) insults Dixon on his way to the ring*

Warlock: Hahahahahaha

*Michael Buffer (himself) says this fight is 10 rounds. Joe Cortez (himself) is the referee. Balboa is 217 pounds and his record is 57-23-1. Rocky is in shape and Dixon is 221 pounds, 33-0 with 30 knockouts. The crowd boos Dixon as Martin tells him he’s the champ. The announcers says Dixon isn’t in the best shape but Rocky is. The fight begins and Dixon tags him with a few jabs*

Warlock: Tarver is a lefty too.

*Dixon keeps tagging him as Rocky swings and misses. Rocky fights back and the crowd pops. The round ends with the two fighters trading blows. Dixon landed 59 punches, Rocky only 9. Martin says Dixon needs to respect him and Dixon asks what about his respect*

Warlock: He’s in for a rude awakening.

*Rocky goes down from a big left jab and the announcers says that’s it. Rocky gets up and Dixon goes back to work and knocks him down again. Rocky gets back up at 9 and Dixon says to Cortez to end it. Balboa stuns Dixon with a combination and Dixon breaks his hand on a rib shot. Rocky pounds the piss out of Dixon and knocks him down. Dixon gets up as the announcers says Dixon has never been challenged like this.  The bell rings*

Warlock: Remember when Martin says he’s never been challenged, now he has.

*Martin tells Dixon his hand will numb up in a few rounds. Rocky takes over round 3, 4 and 5*

Neyz: If he didn’t break his hand it would be different.

Warlock: That’s the point.

*Round 6 has a montage of everything Rocky’s been through in archive footage as he unloads on Dixon*

Warlock: His hand’s broken, he’s not in the best shape, he’s facing an opponent who won’t back down. This is how Dixon wins his respect.

*Round 9 has a flashback of Mickey telling him to run over him. They trade blows in the ring to end the round as the crowd goes wild.  Dixon is exhausted and Rocky says he’s going out the way he’s gotta go out. Paulie “The last round of your life!”  Dixon touches gloves “You’re one crazy old man” Rocky “You’ll get there” The announcers are stunned. “This fight gave Dixon on the job training in courage”

Warlock: My favorite line

*Rocky gets knocked down in round 10 and talks to himself to get back up. Dixon is stunned. Rocky goes to town with blows before they trade blows to end the round. The bar explodes as Rocky tells Dixon he’s great champion with heart. Robert says it was the greatest thing he’s ever seen. Rocky tells Paulie the beast is gone now. Rocky hugs his entourage as Martin tells Dixon THAT’S what he was talking about. Rocky and his crew leave before the decision is announced. Rocky waves to the crowd as Dixon is announced the winner by split decision*

Warlock: The right decision.

*Rocky brings flowers to Adrian’s grave and says he couldn’t have done it without her. “Yo Adrian, we did it.”

Neyz: Hmmm

*Rocky leaves and the credits roll. During the credits a bunch of people run up the stairs of the art museum and imitate Rocky.*

Neyz: *claps* Yayyyyy

Neyzor Blades assessment: I don’t know. 8 out of 10. It was different and they filmed the fight kind of cheesy. I liked the dirty and grunginess of the previous fights without all the flashbacks.

Warlock’s assessment: I said this was the second best movie behind the first one until Creed came along. The story was outstanding, the acting was top notch and the ending was perfect. I give it a 9.5 out of 10, the only thing I didn’t like was they cut WAY too much out of the movie. There’s supposed to be additional character development scenes including one where Paulie says he loves and misses Adrian.  You can see them in the dvd special features but still.

Final Grade: 9 out of 10 – Awesome

*Warlock rises from the couch*

Warlock: Well that’s it for the Rocky movies…all 6 of them. All in ranging quality from decent to best of all time. Well there’s only one thing left to do…

Neyz: Don’t tell me you’re going to do Creed now…

Warlock: No….I’m gonna take a shower.

*Warlock leaves*

Neyz: Finally, have a pleasant evening.
