This week we cover one of the lesser know franchises. It's the four movies of "Wishmaster". Wes Craven executive produced the first film. The Wishmaster is an evil djinn who has to grant the person that awakens him three wishes. It sounds like a good deal but he grants them in the worst way possible. Example: A woman wants to live forever-- so he turns her into a mannequin. The djinn wants to hurry the wishing along since after that's done his fellow djinn will then take over the world.
"Wishmaster" has a few good things going for it-- novel horror idea, interesting mythology, Andrew Divoff as the djinn, fun special effects and kills, etc. Unfortunately the story really drags the series down. There's nothing new between the first and forth movies. I would like to see a reboot with a better script. Am I going to wish for it? Nope, lesson learned.
And for this weeks recipe we kept with the genie theme. See here for a quick genie in a bottle cocktail recipe from the Food Network.
