The Lost Boys

In class today we watched Lost Boys. This movie was about vampires. The movie started with some of the main characters there names where Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) which where the two sons. Lucy (Dianne Wiest) was there mother. They where traveling to Santa Carla a town on the coast in California to move in with Lucy’s father. When they arrived Michael saw the back of a billboard it said “Murder Capital of The World.” From then on Michael was always suspicious of the town. That night after getting settled in, Michael and Sam went to the boardwalk that they had seen as earlier. When they got to the boardwalk they saw that there was a concert going on so they went. Once they got to where the concert was at Michael saw this girl that he found pretty. She saw that he was interested and she walked away hoping that he would follow. Liked she wanted he followed. They almost went all over the whole boardwalk until; he finally caught up with her. Before he could say something, she got on the back of some other dudes motorcycle. While the kids where following the girl, there mom got a job at a video and electronics store, the name of the man that gave her the job was Max (Edward Hermann). The next night Michael goes back to the boardwalk, and he finds the girl he finds out the girl’s name is Star (Jami Gertz). Michael invites her to hangout but the same guy that was on the motorcycle last night doesn’t want her to. David the head vampire in the gang sees potential in Michael (Kiefer Sutherland) so he asks him if wants to take a challenge. They get on their motorcycles and they race and race and it’s so dark that you can’t really see anything only the little light from the motorcycle. Michael suddenly sees a cliff and stops the motorcycle. After the race David asks Michael if he wants to go to his hangout. Once getting to the hangout the gang offered him some Chinese food. After finishing it they gave him a mysterious bottle. The bottle was filled with a red subtends. Michael drank the drink. While hanging out with the gang then David deiced it would be fun to hang from train tracks. Michael was so scared. Then whole gang was falling in a fog. But Michael couldn’t pull his self up and couldn’t hold on. So he deiced to fall. He ended up in his bedroom. While all that stuff was going on Michael’s little brother Sam was still on the boardwalk. He found a comic book store. He went into the store and he met these kids. Edgar and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander). They made fun of Sam’s clothing but when Sam starting talking about comics they where really interested. So days past and Sam starts to notice Michael’s strange behaviors. He gets the frog brothers involve; they confirm that he is a vampire. They then tell him that they must kill the head vampire for Michael to become human again. So they make a plan to go down to the lair, which is the cave. They kill one vampire but David wants revenge on them for killing him. So when night comes David and the rest of his gang goes to Sam's house. The frog brother’s mange to kill some of the vampires, and Michael manages to kill David. But then they realize that David isn’t the head vampire.

But then the grandpa drives in with his truck killing the vampire. Lucy’s father goes to the refrigerator grabbing a root beer saying "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach... all the damn vampires," so in the end he knew all along about the vampires.

So we watch the movie the lost boys, it was very interesting. I really enjoyed the movie. Vampires are pretty cool but I love zombies more. So this movie was about how this one guy was turned into a half vampire and his brother wanted to kill the head vampire to save his brother. Well his movie was pretty good, I didn’t fall asleep and it was in color. I really like the Corey’s their pretty funny. I liked watching the show they had the two Coreys. It was so dumb and funny. Anyway the movie was interesting the effects and scene were pretty good. I like how Michael was falling and he landed on his bed that was cool. The vampires looked really awesome. I liked how the noodles were all worms but then noodles again. I would watch The Lost Boys 2. I give this movie a 4 of 5 stars.

In class today we watched Lost Boys. I got lost during the movie. When they where wanting him to be in there gang I was confused why he went with them. I thought he wanted Star but then he just went with his rivals, what kind of stuff is that? Then they started doing strange things and I really lost. But I think I will give it a 2 out of 5 stars because I like vampires.
