In which the Mister and I do another 80s rewind and go way back and check out THE BLOB (1988), a remake of  the1958 sci fi/horror classic directed by Irvin Yeaworth and written by Kay Linaker and Theodore Simonson, from Irvine H. Millgate’s story.  This film is directed by Chuck Russell from a script by Frank Darabont and Chuck Russell.  The film tells the story of Meg Penny (Shawnee Smith), who while out on a date with Paul (Donovan Leitch) comes across a man who’s been injured and needs help.  The run into the local bad boy Brian (Kevin Dillion and his glorious mullet) and from there things go from bad to worse as an alien entity crash lands and starts wreaking havoc on the small time that’s being overrun by this deadly predator while also being kept in the dark by shady government stooges who’ve come to contain this deadly entity for nefarious purpose.  Still a solid watch and absolute fun.  The film has a run time of 1 h and 35 m is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
