Do note that I said, "I actually did like elements of...", not exactly a whole-hearted endorsement.
As for Constantine, it struck me essentially as a knock-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with a little dab of blasphemy, and lacking the cuties or the humor.
At least "Lost Boys" had some humor in it. And it's more preposterous elements, like the Frog brothers, actually were quite real on another level. (13-year-old boys who, thinking they were all bad and that because they were finally going to get a chance to use all the silly vampire-legend stuff they have learned, run in terror at the sight of a real vampire.) Cool INXS song. And nice use of a Doors song. Didn't take itself too seriously, but wasn't merely goofy schtick.
Well I just watched Richard Donner's original "The Omen" the other day. Now there's a psuedo-regligious movie that is worth getting out the popcorn and butter for. With Greogry Peck and Lee Remick slumming it, taut pacing, a CREEPY little kid, and some spectacular murders, it's obvious audiences were certainly getting more of their money's worth 20 years ago. The sequel wasn't half bad either. Unfortuately, things slip quite a bit by the third but I have decided to revisit it via my Netflix que, regardless.
I doubt I will see the remake, because the first movie is damn near perfect for what it is.
BTW: I enjoyed the heck of the Lost Boys. It's one of my alltime favorites. I am glad Keifer is doing well, because I have really enjoyed much of his work since seeing that flick.
