Campfire Tales
Campfire Tales (1997) is a horror anthology tied together by four kids who
become stranded in the woods when they run their car off the road, and tell
ghost stories to entertain themselves while they await rescue. There is also a
twist at the end related to the four kids. The four tales include the old hook
hanging from the doorknob legend, a honeymooning couple in an RV victimized by
(presumably) werewolves, a little girl being stalked on the internet, and a
young man on a motorcycle odyssey who runs across, and falls in love with, a
ghost.
Jennifer MacDonald, in the honeymoon segment, shows her left breast twice.
IMDb readers say 5.6. There is nothing wrong with this film. It is
appropriately spooky, and the cast includes many who would later become names.
The problem is that there is nothing especially right with it either. The ghost
stories are not especially terrifying, and we don't get enough time with the
four kids to care much about them.
This is a C-. It is available at RLDVDs.com.
Scoop's note: If you want this one, Rare
Licensed DVDs seems like the way to go. He has it priced at thirteen bucks.
That's five dollars below Amazon, and seven dollars below the manufacturer's
suggested retail.

Gone
I heard this movie was like "Dead Calm", and it does have some
similarities, but is different in a lot of ways. In "Dead Calm," Nicole
Kidman's character does everything she has to save her husband, even
screw with the bad guy, here Amelia Warner's character doesn't listen to
her boyfriend and rather believe the stranger than him, so she also ends
up screwing with the bad guy just to find out moments later that he is
exactly what her boyfriend said he was - a psychopath, It is too late for
the poor boyfriend by then.
Also "Dead Calm" happens in a boat in the middle of the ocean, away
from civilization, this one happens in a Road Trip across Australia, but
it does give a feel of solitude to the characters, having them stop in
vast places. Amelia looks really good in the movie, just like Nicole did
in hers, so that's a good thing.

The Comedy Wire
TV viewers of Monday's Miss Universe Pageant that was held in Mexico City didn't
realize they were watching an international incident. Miss USA Rachel Smith was
reportedly booed by crowds wherever she went because of anger over US border
policy and immigration. It continued at the pageant itself. They even booed
her when she tripped on her dress and fell on her rear. The booing finally
settled down during a commercial break when an NBC rep warned the crowd they
were giving the world a bad image of Mexico.
* This story is shocking! You mean there are still
Mexicans LEFT in Mexico?!
New York's Whitney Museum is trying to flash back to the 1960s with an
exhibit on the Summer of Love. It attempts to recreate the psychedelic era
through trippy posters, op art, album covers, period rock music, light shows,
experimental films, lava lamps and other relics of the era. The curator said
the idea is to present a cultural history of the hippie era for both visitors
who lived through it and those who don't remember the '60s. He said visitors
can experience "what it might have been like taking LSD without actually having
to resort to the drug."
* Or you could just watch the Teletubbies.
Mitt Romney said he's been fortunate enough in business that if elected
president, he'll donate his presidential salary to charity.
* Romney's salary will go to the #1 Mormon charity: the
Donny Osmond Foundation to Fight Tooth Decay.
