Death, uh, finds a way... Why couldn't they get Jeff Goldblum to be in these movies? Then at least there would be one thing worth watching. A year after the events of the first movie, a girl named Kimberly has a premonition about a bad highway accident and manages to escape the mayhem unharmed along with a bunch of motorists who never made it…

Phantoms (1998)

Based on a shitty novel by Dean Koontz, this horror thriller features an all star cast and little else. The story is bland and derivative. Like every other Invasion of the Body Snatchers or alien takeover movie, there is not a single thing this one tries to do differently. Peter O'Toole, Ben Affleck, Rose McGowan, and Liev Schreiber are the A-ish list cast that really…

The Faculty (1998)

I was completely obsessed with this movie when it first came out. The director of From Dusk Till Dawn teams up with the writer of Scream and an all star cast. What more could you want? It's teen horror funsies of the late 90s. What I really enjoyed about the movie originally was the mystery, the pacing, witty dialogue, and the bad assitudes of the main…
