The 11 Best Songs By the Replacements


The Lost Boys 2 was just released directly to DVD. It's been a long awaited sequel...at one time being called Lost Girls...also, there was a "werewolf" version that floated around for a few years. And most recently, there was even a version that brought Jason Patrick's and Keifer Sutherland's characters back. But with all the ideas that were bouncing around...the producers opted for the very ordinary...average repeat telling of the first story. This time, the main characters are inferred to be the kids of Michael and Star from the first movie. Only, Corey Feldman returns and there's a brief but confusing cameo by Corey Haim. But the strangest thing about the movie was the fact that producers decided to incorporate torture porn into the movie, which contradicts the lure of the first movie. People liked the sexiness of the vampires and the magnetic nature of their lifestyle. In this movie...they went for the gross-out factor and forgot...that although there was a sexy vibe in the first movie...the vampires do not have sex. (usually vamps are asexual)...but in need of nudity for overseas distribution, that mythos was dumped for a bit of extra cash.
