I.S.S.I saw this yesterday and it was pretty good. Basically 6 people, 3 American and 3 Russian, on the I.S.S. when war breaks out between their two countries on Earth. They have to decide to follow orders from their commanders on Earth and take over the station for their country or work together. A decent suspenseful movie I give a B grade. Not great but entertaining. Funny story, will get my snacks and making sure she scanned the coupon and ordering my ticket I said "one for Isis". I quickly realized my brain fart but we had a laugh and she said she knew what I meant. Saw some cool previews but one looks like a must see for me. Abigail. No spoilers as what I am about to say is in the trailer. A bad guy kidnaps the young ballerina daughter of a rich man to hold for ransom. The bad guy hires a few mercenaries to watch her for 24 hours. What could go wrong. Oh, did I mention the young girl is a VAMPIRE. Yea, I guess something could go wrong now that I think about it. A ballerina child vampire. From the scenes I saw the actress is bad ass in the role. This is a movie where you can root against both sides and do not care who gets hurt. I mean, it looks like they try and make one of the mercenaries seem likeable but still. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Or more fitting, Do what is right if you can't stand the bite. Yea, it is low budget, no stars I recognized but a unique idea and I am looking forward to when it comes out. Once I'm done binge-watching movies for my Spirit Awards voting I'll likely venture out to see I.S.S. I will definitely have to check out the trailer for Abigail. Your slip of the tongue with the ticket lady reminds me of a similar instance I had a few years ago when my friend and I went to see the terrible "thriller" Cold Creek Manor. Being the immature person that I am I had come up with a vulgar alternate title for the movie beforehand and when my buddy bought his ticket he nearly repeated said title to the box office person. He caught himself part way through the vulgar word and correctly asked for a ticket to Cold CREEK Manor. A movie based on that box office interaction would have been much more enjoyable than the film we saw that day.

There are two large groups of HS cheerleaders staying at the hotel I work at right now. Possibly one or two smaller groups. Some are checking out tomorrow, but others are staying over, and more teams are coming in tomorrow. I can barely hear myself think. PRAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's just hope they don't start practicing one of their cheers in the lobby. You definitely don't want one of those stuck in your head.

Night of the Demons (1988)
I watched this on TV last night. It is your typical low-budget, late 80s, teen horror movie. It is not great but I have seen far worse. Three things did stick out to me.
1) One of the teens is your cliche, typical greaser who is a punk and does not seem to bright. However as the movie goes on he seems to appear as a decent guy with manners. In a way that makes sense. A lot of teens put on an act of who they want people to think of them but it is not really them. I was actually sad to see him bite it.
2) There is a minor character in the beginning of the movie. An old man that hates kids and Halloween. He has the apples and razor blades he just bought from the store to prove it. He ends up showing back up at the end of the movie with his wife. They are the ones that we last see in the movie and it was a twisted, Twilight Zone twist type of ending that I enjoyed. Irony can be so tasty.
3) One of the teens is a black kid. Not only does he not die in the beginning, he does not die at all. That makes this one of the first if not THE first horror movie that happened in.

Just say a commercial for Madame Web. I know there is more to it, but part of the commercial made me think of The Marvels with the whole "we need to find why we are connected" bit.

Turbo Tax is a good product. I have used it in the past. They should have reviewed their commercial more before releasing it. The girl in it says something like "I changed things with 5 words" and then says "mom, I want to make perfume". Um, that is SIX words. A company that deals with numbers should not have a commercial with someone that cannot count lol.
