Directed by Robert Kurtzman (the famous make-up artist). Written by Peter Atkins. Starring Andrew Divoff, Tammy Lauren, Chris Lemmon, Kane Hodder, Tony Todd and Robert Englund.
Plot: a Djinn (like a genie, but meaner) is awoken by a woman and starts granting people wishes, but it never goes well.
The movie starts by saying that the Djinn will grant three wishes to whoever wakes him up and that after he grants the wishes, he’ll be free, but you don’t want that. However, in the movie he goes around granting wishes to everyone, not just the girl who woke him up. And this usually ends with someone dead. He takes souls, too, and we’re not sure why that is either. He’s like a really fucked up Leprechaun. It just doesn’t make any sense. Which is why we didn’t like it.
We love all the people that were in this movie. They’re all so nice. But that can’t make us like a film. It made up the rules as it went along and the kills were cheap. The end was good, but the rest was ridiculous.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
