Alex Curran

This Space Between Us
$9.98
I like stuff like this better than what is at the movies right now. I really enjoy Jeremy Sisto's work, and he does not disappoint here, as a film maker from LA who drives back to his home turf of the bay area to try to get his head together. Two years following his wife's death, Alex Harty is unable to get on with life. He wants to let go of the sadness but is afraid he will lose something. The memory of his wife? The love he had for his wife? His sense of identity? It's a very interesting character study that might hit home with anyone who has lost someone they loved and clings to things that are no longer there because of a fear you cannot even describe to yourself. One day, Alex hits a point where he is tired of being sad all of the time, tired of missing his wife, thus he gets into his car in an effort to try to "run away" from himself and from his sadness, once and for all. However, when he gets to San Francisco, he finds that his friends are not going to allow him to do that. Without spooning him the solution, Alex's friends show him how to "live" again.

It may be just a low budget indie and some find that boring. Some people find regular life boring and movies without action boring. I could not help but love every minute of this funny and very moving comedy.

Touching Evil 2 (Box Set) [VHS]
$39.95
Once you start, you can't stop watching.

I watched the USA Network version of Touching Evil before I knew the BBC version ever existed. I enjoyed USA's Touching Evil greatly. But the BBC version is phenomenal. I'm hooked. 5 stars.

RL Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It (Full Screen Edition)
$12.98
I bought this for my 2 daughters (3 & 7) who borrowed a Goosebumps video from a friend and loved it. We bought 3 Goosebumps episodes based on the reviews (Haunting Hour, Mostly Ghostly, Scary House). Haunting Hour was terrible. It was neither scary (in the Goosebumps way) nor very interesting. It was really more of a super-weak attempt at a twilight zone episode for kids that I would guess was done to have enough episodes for a season. The other two Goosebumps were exactly what we expected. They were scary in a kid-friendly way and had stories that kept the kids engaged. I would highly recommend Mostly Ghostly & Scary House for younger kids. If you really want to check out Haunting Hour, rent it before buying.
