watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Lifeforce

Starring: Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Mathilda May
Director: Tobe Hooper
Year of Release: 1985
 Rated 4 cups

This movie is like one long Doctor Who episode. It really could have been a Doctor movie without much change to the story. Set in London, the film is essentially about “space vampires” that come to Earth to drain the lifeforce from humans and turn them into lifeforce-draining monsters themselves. It’s very campy and British in the exact same way that Doctor Who was, especially in the ’80s. But it is still enjoyable for a rather silly horror/sci-fi movie. The special effects are pretty ridiculous, again like Doctor Who back-in-the-day, but it doesn’t hurt that the main vampire villain is a hot girl who prefers to be naked all the time, just sayin’.
