    [sarcastic] Ooh, I know what you did last summer? What a crock of..., 2009-08-13
"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is based on a book by Lois Duncan, who wasn't very happy when they turned what she conceived as a 'young adult mystery' set in New Mexico into an Eastern Seaboard slasher film set in North Carolina. The killer could then use an ice hook for a weapon, and dress in a black fisherman's slicker, even though it takes place in July, and that kind of outfit would be horrendously hot. Why would so many fishermen wear it to a 4th of July parade? Lois Duncan deplored the senseless plot, but also the senseless violence, even more so when her own daughter was tragically killed. She was much happier with what they did with another of her books, Hotel for Dogs.

br /Barry: Even if his body washes ashore in the next couple of weeks, he'll be eaten by crabs and small fish. Maybe we'll get lucky with a shark. Take him to the side.
br /===========================================
br /
br /I wanted to see this because I kinda like the actors, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and even Prinze Charming Jr., Freddie Prinze Jr. Prinze and Gellar even got married and lived, as far as I know, happily ever after. Phillipe and Gellar were great in Cruel Intentions. But as much as I like them, it wasn't enough to make me also like this movie. Of course it was popular, and they even made at least two sequels, but from my perspective it was nevertheless a lame excuse for a film.

br /Helen: What happened to us? We used to be best friends.
br /Julie: We used to be a lot of things.
br /=======================
br /
br /It was supposed to be suspenseful, but the only suspense is guessing who will be slashed, and who will survive, and that is so obvious that there is barely any suspense in that at all. You can guess just by looking at the photo on the box cover. The survivors will have some redeeming qualities, like, instead of being in favor of tossing the body of the person they just hit with their car into the ocean, they vote in favor of checking to see if they are dead yet, but are over ruled. Misfits who have crushes on the cute girls? Chum bait. Older sisters who make snide comments about their younger sister's obsession with their own hair? As good as dead. Spoiled rich kids? Rest assured they will get their comeuppance.

br /----------------------------
br /Julie: We need help.
br /Barry: I'll say. You two should look at a mirror sometime. You look like **** run over twice.
br /==================================================
br /
br /Somewhere around the time that Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) went to see Melissa 'Missy' Egan (Anne Heche), the sister of the man they thought they had run over, who is skinning animals and has a crazy look in her eye, I had a certain sense of deja vu. I had seen this movie before, in the theatrical release. Why? Because it was the choice of a cute young woman with less than stellar cinematic taste that I was dating. Once we even saw Ringmaster starring Jerry Springer, I am ashamed to admit.
br /
br /I will allow that they had some pretty good music on the soundtrack: Korn, The Din Pedals, Southern Culture on the Skids, The Offspring, Toad the Wet Sprocket, L7, Hooverphonic, Soul Asylum, Green Apple Quick Step, Kula Shaker, and Type O Negative. I really like the slow, baritone dirge that Type O Negative made of "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts. It really set the mood for a slasher flick with a summer setting. Likewise, The Beatles' "Hey, Bulldog," by Toad the Wet Sprocket, also a great cover. Usually, though, the music was totally incongruous as a soundtrack for slicing and dicing human flesh. Finally, though, as the end credits rolled, I also enjoyed Joe South's "Hush" as done by Kula Shaker. It brought me back to my own Senior Prom, as the band that played was named Hush, and the centerpiece of their act was Joe South's song in question. They, like Kula Shaker, did a very good version of "Hush."
