Sarah Bailey (Tunney) is new to town and is having trouble fitting in. but then she meets three other outcasts and soon the four girls become best friends. the girls share everything together... including their love of the Craft.
I remember when I first heard about this film. I was expecting another teen flick, full of the usual jocks and teenage angst. but then I watched it. I was like "finally! a film for people like me!" I fell in love with it instantly. an original script and a great cast, including the often underrated Fairuza Balk and Neve Campbell, make this an instant classic. that's right, I said classic!
sooo good! I absolutely love love love this film! ♥
From Dusk Till Dawn
R
action horror flick starring George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis and Quentin Tarantino. directed by Robert Rodriguez.
brothers Seth and Richie Gecko (Clooney, Tarantino) are criminals on the run. they encounter Jacob Fuller (Keitel) and his family at a motel and end up taking the former priest and his family hostage. the Geckos decide to take the Fullers with them to meet up with their contact at the strip club The Titty Twister, on the boarder of the US and Mexico. but what lies within the club is more than just sex and booze and soon the criminals and the hostages find themselves working alongside one another to survive.
this film is why I love Rodriguez. he isn't afraid to go to the line of cheese and tiptoe along it. he always manages to find that balance between over-the-top silliness and just enough silly to make for a fun and good time.
gore. comedy. action. boobies. good stuff! ♥
