And what a face it is in the Stephen King adaptation of PET SEMATARY from 1989 that, centering on the titular woodsy location where cats and children are buried, and come back to life, it's a backstory about one of the main characters' relatives named Zelda that leaves the spookiest imprint overall...<br /> <br /> Zelda is a female but she's played by a very skinny young male actor, who in real life spends most of his time, before, during and after his iconic horror fifteen-minutes on stage: by choice. But a year later, he turned up in the Kathyln Bigelow 1990 action/crime flick BLUE STEEL starring Jamie Lee Curtis as a rookie cop who thwarts a holdup at a convenience store where Hubatsek plays the aptly titled <i>Cashier</i>. And now there's proof that  Andrew Hubatsek has a life after PET SEMATARY, and looks kinda creepy even out of the nightmarish Zelda makeup.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzbxd2DTtYa18ROnqbsHzHsLoMzYbCvWLQjUfMeTbx40qxuh52LaolU9HLNoRcUz4qY9gFMuCk0Qa443f1nzntm28K8OTe1AzEroxuVTVztuXyTap4MounJArJiduP-D2Glp_vdLpyRshw/s1600/2.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzbxd2DTtYa18ROnqbsHzHsLoMzYbCvWLQjUfMeTbx40qxuh52LaolU9HLNoRcUz4qY9gFMuCk0Qa443f1nzntm28K8OTe1AzEroxuVTVztuXyTap4MounJArJiduP-D2Glp_vdLpyRshw/s1600/2.jpeg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u> Andrew Hubatsek in BLUE STEEL as Cashier held up by Tom Sizemore and saved by Jamie Lee Curtis</u></td></tr> </tbody></table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjukSBMJmSEuyjA6WXQ7yFXxSXJDBO0qw_-ZMuWKas-STJC-XomI5IEugg0HNY5K-fwQon_-kqPy2cVxAUlzHMyjb5EEnAZsGlmuUmldGFJ9JKfdcBPS5DqJNg-9DR7CTDloJKUeSVnOAXR/s1600/4.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="634" data-original-width="1161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjukSBMJmSEuyjA6WXQ7yFXxSXJDBO0qw_-ZMuWKas-STJC-XomI5IEugg0HNY5K-fwQon_-kqPy2cVxAUlzHMyjb5EEnAZsGlmuUmldGFJ9JKfdcBPS5DqJNg-9DR7CTDloJKUeSVnOAXR/s1600/4.jpeg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u> Andrew Hubatsek in his legendary role as Zelda in  PET SEMATARY</u></td></tr> </tbody></table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZl83MEMWjRBW4i1OO8tiXo6y-CU4VAcX8GdrYp2G_rPAW7pi1UnNxOLM5ARfaOj1LcILTZJkJ8QeNIdMwIMk1BOEVIJZnG9u9MJhmF-_-c2Fv4A4OuKc6Drv-9hrs609cy0GUihRAViZ/s1600/5.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="910" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZl83MEMWjRBW4i1OO8tiXo6y-CU4VAcX8GdrYp2G_rPAW7pi1UnNxOLM5ARfaOj1LcILTZJkJ8QeNIdMwIMk1BOEVIJZnG9u9MJhmF-_-c2Fv4A4OuKc6Drv-9hrs609cy0GUihRAViZ/s1600/5.jpeg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Jamie Lee Curtis with  Andrew Hubatsek in BLUE STEEL from PET SEMATARY as Zelda</u></td></tr> </tbody></table>

ELMO'S FIRE... And Joel Schumacher has a style of filming great-looking actors in an ethereal glow, which literally fits here being they choose to die and come back again i.e. playing God with their own bodies... <br> <br> Taking place in and around various classrooms and backrooms of some kind of steely, dystopic medical school, the shadow-filled, icky-green sets seem as if a neon Gothic explosion blew out most of the lights and took down half the equipment, like Dr. Frankenstein's lab dreamed-up by Tim Burton. Which is what FLATLINERS is going for aesthetically. But it turned out more like a glossy music video, especially the choppy extreme-closeups...<br>

And what Karen witnesses, kept from the audience, really sticks with her... Thus the investigation trades off to snoopy reporter Terry Fisher, played by versatile character-actress Belinda Balaski, who, as a doomed camp counselor in Dante’s PIRANHA a few years earlier, resulted in a memorable death scene...<br>

Michael Myers is a human being, not an unstoppable monster that can't be killed. And if you and your date dress up as a doctor and nurse (or vice versa), like the victims of the first sequel, HALLOWEEN II, absolutely no harm will come. Because all those other incarnations mean nothing. This is the one and only followup to the John Carpenter classic...<br> <br> And here's a dirty little secret not everyone agrees with. The sparse 1978 blockbuster is extremely far from perfect. But... it <i>was</i> a solid, good horror movie, and <i>was</i> genuinely groundbreaking for a body count slasher flick involving a handful of doomed teenagers, which started off an endless chain of copycats including FRIDAY THE 13TH. So where new director David Gordon Green succeeds is making a simple slasher yarn without too many extravaganzas... <br>

Random shots of basic training, or... something... anything...<br> <br> Played by a thinned-down, Jason Bateman-looking Nathan Fillion, THE ROOKIE is both an appropriate and ironic title, but he's on-the-beat too quick while we're introduced to the other rookies, all the right young age and each resembling a magazine model (the most beautiful hopping right in bed with Fillion's unassuming John Nolan, as if he were the former star of CASTLE instead of a midlife-crisis-suffering everyman). Without a chance to really learn about this guy, the shallow and cliché co-stars are forced upon us — feeling like <i>yet another cop series</i> in an ocean brimming with them. So while being promised something slightly different, THE ROOKIE is more bland dough from the same old boring cookie cutter. And worse.<br>

That'd be too good a thing as Hilton's a satirical take on Linda Lovelace, named Linda Loveman as Sinthia as in "The Seduction of Sinthia." Tom Signorelli as that film's spaced-out hippie director nicknamed O.D. is about the only partially funny character while another backer, an extremely Catholic Italian mom, is by far the worst. But it's Hilton in her usual airhead role who stands out, and not only for the obvious reasons. She's the only person who fits the bubbly mold: but with a price. In practically every shot she's standing beside mackerel-faced character-actor Kellin, pretending to be a famous acting coach and she's really nuts about him — proving that she <i>can</i> act after all. <br>

Stewart's Glyn McLyntock is a former outlaw, something we learn later after an outlaw friend, saved from a kangaroo court's noose and played by Arthur Kennedy who turns... well... that's a spoiler: What's important is that with Kennedy's initially friendly charm turned cocky bravado, BEND wouldn't be much at all. Rock Hudson as a handsome gambler adds very little...<br> <br> It's about Kennedy and Stewart — the latter turning into what we'd later refer to as the "Rambo" character or, before that, MR. MAJESTYK: an underrated guy who shows his resilient worth against a ton of odds and proves he's more cunning and badass than any other badass within an untamed terrain that he's become used to. A shame that it took so long for this too happen, before which we got otherwise good actress Julia Adams reacting hilariously slow to an arrow through her chest, and too many familiar character actors talking about what's about to happen. When it finally does — blink once and it's gone.<br>

Scott, who didn't suffer fools, on or off the set, including original director John Huston replaced by Richard Fleischer...<br> <br> In THE LAST RUN Scott plays an aged getaway driver hired to take an escaped convict (whom he helped escape) on a score, and the entire Spain setting harbors either the painted landscape countrysides or, there and back along a winding road, a deep blue fisherman's beach. The tagline states, "In the tradition of Hemingway and Bogart," but with a Jerry Goldsmith score detailed by a haunting, reposeful harpsichord, it's more Spaghetti Western with random bursts of action throughout an edgy road trip from one double-cross to another chance to score, and with some twists and turns that shouldn't be spoiled in-between...<br>

The main problem is these two very important characters, who are not only friends, but supposedly <i>best friends</i>, never had a chance to get to know each other deeply enough to make their eventual rivalry matter like it should. And as an audience, we can only care as much as they do.<br> <br>
