Oooo, we’re livin’ on a lie……

Remember the days when rock stars and movie stars had their own places in the social hierarchy? Well, I'm here to tell you that those days are officially over.

After watching Cry Wolf, I have come to the conclusion that not only are all of the good ideas for thriller movies taken, but that now people have resorted to revamping old plot lines with newer (and seemingly younger) actors.

The movie takes place at an uppity prep school (ie high school for rich and undeserving) and includes a representative of all social classes (the rich-girl, the too smart-for-your-own-good girl, the pierced rebel, the goody-goody boy, the fat boy, the token ethnic representative, and the I-have-been-kicked-out-of-every-other-school boy) who form a small ‘clique’ of minors bored with their everyday lives.

After sneaking out to play a game one night, they hash out a plan which involves the recent murder of a young and beautiful "townie". One after another, the comrades "disappear…." leaving a confused boy to end up accidentally shooting his teacher........the ever-so-versatile singer/actor Jon Bon Jovi!

So as not to actually spoil the entire plot of the flick, let’s just say that some people were surprised at the turn of events in the end. While I, on the other hand, was not.

This movie left very little to the imagination and seemed to take off a bit from the movie April Fool's Day...which was a great movie, in its day. But let's remember, ladies and gentlemen that this is the 21st century and as an audience we require more than some minor thrills and chills to make us jump out of our seats.

Even with the help of Mr. Bon Jovi's fluffy hair and notoriety as an 80's icon, this flick is merely "livin' on a prayer".
