Thanksgiving (2023)
So who was the Killer?
There was a few new deaths. Death by trampoline way is new, the corn cob picks to the ears i don't think has ever been done. The killer was way too skinny though i did like his footwear. I liked it when the killer fed the cat. Nice. Yulia's daddy was not bad looking. Looked like John Larch. There was way too much cussing. They were trying too hard. The gore was a little much too and i never say that. So was it on purpose that he was trying to make a bad movie? Id id love the old Bronco. I also like it that Dempsey dropped the romance comedy movies to star in a horror. I enjoyed seeing the people who had it coming, get it coming. People been cooking up other people for years, nothing new there. Dead bodies don't bleed, no one figured this out yet? Dad was in 'Nam. No real surprises. Movie was predictable. So who was the Killer? It is revealed at the end of who they suggest the killer is, but my trained eye for detail knows Dempsey is not that skinny. Nice try.
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004)
Zoinks!
So the usual theme been done before try to break up the team. Again Geller is Geller and Prinze Jr is just Prinze Jr. It was too obvious who the bad guy was but oh well. The music was very good, oddly. Lillard did not get on my nerves again unless i am just used to hearing him on the cartoons since he replaced Casem. What i loved was the bad guys they brought into it - Miner 49er, Tar Monster, Black Knight, yes i did like that. A few more would have been good too. Again liked Velma, liked when Shaggy and Scooby drank potions. It was a good movie, long overdue in watching, now that its what 20 years old. But yes, good one.
The Mean One (2022)
I ordered bell peppers not jingle bells
So not sure what i expected. I like the new Pooh blood & Honey. It was low budget but not noticeably. This was made in someone's backyard, very cheeply. Acting was atrocious. Wonder if i'll get stopped in a town where its illegal to have antlers on your car? The gore was way way over the top. The ending was stupid and i did not like it. I did have the same necklace that the Grinch wore. Should have been a rape scene. That would have been interesting. I won't get rid of the blu ray because its stream only over here but i'll not watch it again. The blood & honey pooh one was 10x better than this if that says anything.
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)
Go see da boss!
I love most of Mr. Del Toro's movies. I love the cricket on here so cute. Poor guy always getting squished. Bravo that he made it for adults. The blue fairy looks like she died her wings blue after she left Hellboy 2. Very cool. The wooden boy i thought was really annoying, like really annoying! Like use him for firewood already. I love Perlman and Waltz always have. I liked the monkey he was cute. Was interesting story. The remake disney one was atrocious but the cartoon was always okay. Just okay. Wished Mr. Toro had done a pleasure island on here. The rabbits looked like escapees from the new Winnie the Pooh blood and honey. But when they spoke with the Bronx accent they seemed okay.
Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)
Not as good as Tarantulas
This is not as good as Tarantulas the deadly cargo. That's the one we always had. This one is starting out okay but the ending was so ridiculously stupid. I don't like Shatner never have. I don't mind Marlboro Man he looks good and rough on here but i lost respect for him when he picketed against cigs. I watched this because i love Woody Strode. He was a gorgeous beautiful man. The only black man i have ever been attracted to. He was the only one and Marlboro who could act. No one else could. What a shame. Quite the embarrassment. Woody sadly does not last long and i lose interest. Too bad he wasn't on Tarantulas the deadly cargo. It was much better.
The Gardener (2021)
Oh wow
Was the movie 10 stars no but Gary Daniels was and so was Bronzi. Gary Daniels looks good with age, oh wow. The punks i could not have cared less about - nothing to look at. But Gary oh wow. Only thing is he'd a looked behind a skull mask. Bronzi i never watched before in a movie, i had seen him in a commercial and was startled by his amazing likeness to ol Bronson. I grew up on Bronson, though i am only 34 but it is almost haunting. But Bronzi is very cute, i love how he talks, and i loved him on here. Family that gets kidnapped yeah whatever, could not much care less or the guys that break in but oh Gary still easy on the eyes and love Bronzi!
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Predictable but not terrible
I knew the guy would get on the ship by saving that kid. And it happened. The whole movie was predictable. It was like Titanic in the way of you know how it is going to end - no one will survive. The kid was annoying. Soon as the kid showed up i knew a woman wouldn't be far off and lo and behold right again. Was a bit slow, like the "build suspense" scenes it was like grabbing the remote for the fast forward button. Its like okay get on with it. It was a nice chapter in the Drac movies considering the only ones that are 10 of 10 stars are the one with Langella and Lugosi. I wished they had showed the vampire as human at the end instead of not.
Candy Cane Lane (2023)
Fine! Take it!!!
You will not find the words fine or take it in the movie but i will think of it always. My friend told me how hideous this movie was. She was right it was atrocious. The story and the mini people oh it was awful. I like Eddie Murphy and have not watched any of his for awhile. I liked the xmas tree but it really was quite awful until Santa Claus made his appearance. It bugged me and bugged me until i thought i was going to have a stroke. I looked at my sister and asked her, what is he from? She said; "Fine!" i paused a minute while most people would be startled i smiled back and said; "Take it!" He was the cop on Jumanji.
Goosebumps (2023)
1 out of zero and that is being generous
Had to get this one disc outside of the US for starters. So, where is the music? I don't hear it. Think maybe they could bring it back? I grew up on the ones from the 90's. Only a few of them were any good. This one, well "don't scare me" where were the mud monsters? Horrorland - where were the monsters? This was so predictable too. It was brutal sitting thru this, very brutal. I love how at the end of each ep it says they are based on the books by RL Stine. And they thought they could get away with this? I read the books, have them clear in my mind. So yeah excuse me? They are not like the books. Too different for me. Belongs in the trash bin.
The Flintstones (1960)
To the moon Alice er uh Wilma
I hadn't watched the Flintstones since a VHS tape years ago. So i got the complete series dirt cheap and sat down to watch a few. I was appalled. I know Gleason did not want to be known as the man who killed Fred Flintstone but how could no one say anything about this? He should have canceled the show. This is wrong in so many ways! This gets a 1 star and that is being generous. I love Gleason, i may be a woman but my nickname is Ralph because i have Ralph Kramden's temperament. Like nearly every episode is Honeymooners related. I could know exactly how an episode will end as soon as it starts. I could not finish this. This was almost sickening.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)
Surprisingly, really good
I was so sick when i watched this. I really enjoyed it. Started a little slow and the cop just has my temperament. I don't usually like humor with my horror but for some odd reason this worked. I considered it was just me because i was miserable. I had Mom watch it and she loved it as much as me. Didn't need to hit the fast forward button which is a plus for me. Could not stand daughter or ex wifey but liked the cop and the woman cop and the tone and pace. Most people in it didn't care about. Forster has a strong resemblance to Ermey but is obviously too calm to be him. Was one of the werewolf films since the 2010 one with Benicio. Good twist at the end.
I See You (2019)
Started good then...........
So it was intriguing even though it was slow but interesting. Hunt's had enough plastic surgery that's for sure. The baseball bat scene in the basement made me jolt. I never jolt. Not a horror or suspense movie made that scares me and neither does this one. Its an almost kiss the girls atmosphere and you find yourself finding everyone as a suspect before it all falls into place. Then the movie begins to stray.......and stray.......and stray until you are so bored you can cry. The ending wraps it all up but they strayed so far away from the point that by then you're just glad its over so you can move on with your life.
The Boogeyman (2023)
People are scared of this?
Scariest parts had to deal with teeth. I can watch anything but no teeth. Then the wonderful right side up to upside down scenes that is not good when you've been suffering dizzy spells of late. I almost went upside down. Nothing new. Nothing scary. Why was it called a boogeyman? Nothing "man" about it. If the brat is terrified of the dark why is she playing Nintendo in the dark? Really just stupid and nothing new. No jolts no surprises. Didn't start out too bad is why i give it a 1/10. I can't believe people think horror movies are scary. Its quite pathetic actually. There's not 1 made that scares me.
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)
Up yours and out
A killer is in Texarkana. Based on a true story. Never cared for Ben Johnson or Andrew Prine but the real fun from this comes from the director who had a role as Sparkplug. The town cops dress like women to bait the killer but to no avail. For being low budget it is a very good movie. Slow in places. And ya know there's a killer killing park and lovers so let's go parking. Sparkplug is very comical from forgetting keys and wrecking a car. Killer kind of reminds you of Zodiac killer. Everyone in town buys chainlocks and screens. Really? We know this ain't gonna keep people out. Then the killer just quit, never seen or heard from again. Remake was okay not near as good as this.
The Hollow (2004)
A whole lot of no one can act, save 2
The music is good and creepy nice and dark and beautiful. The music during the intro is good and the music throughout is good but the chase scene music is great! Love it. Its a shame but the music is better than the movie. Stacy Keech is good, he and the Headless Horseman are the only 2 that are good. But if you are not watching this for Mr. Headless than why would you watch it? It does have a very good story providing you can suffer thru all the terrible acting. Wow it is a shame no one can act on here except the 2 i mentioned. While the gore was good and so was the "head" scene that has been done before, nothing new here. All predictable. Good for Stacy, the Horseman, the story & the music.
Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays (2012)
Zoinks! i love it!
The music sounds like the transiberian orchestra which is beautifully dark Christmas music. The sinister snowman is very cool. He can shape shift into spideys and even a 3 headed snowman. No annoying voices. Nothing annoying at all which is surprising of some scooby movies. Love the music. I like the old clock too, reminds you of Germany's. What they threw into this one is only occasionally done in other movies, but when they do it i just love it. What's a christmas movie with Santy? And yes there's a grouchy Santa impersonator on here which yeah okay whatever but then they get a surprise later when they meet the real Santa. I'm in my 30's. I still believe. Love this movie! Watch it every month, but watch it with my Mom at Christmas along with Silent Night Deadly Night.
Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico (2003)
Zoinks - its okay.
Nicole Jaffe & Heather North return from the 70's to do voices on here, kind of nice though i thought Ms. Cohn was always the best Velma. They did come from the best Scooby's though. Fred gets stuck in traffic in 1 scene he sums it up perfectly. Who wouldn't want to bash their head against their steering wheel. No desire to go to Mexico for a number of reasons but the gang goes and they meet the Mexican bigfoot. Songs are okay. Mexicans are annoying and of course yes they have a mutt to hook up with Scooby Doo. Can't they leave that alone? Always trying to hook up Scooby. That is so stupid. Charlene is annoying too. Can't tolerate the unusuals.
Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend: The Pet (1921)
Disturbing...........
This never used to bother me until i took a bus trip to Malabar farms in Ohio. Found out about some psycho chick who poisoned her family with rough on rats. Well in this short, the husband says his wife brought a new pet home for him to kill so the druggist sells him rough on rats. Suddenly this is quite disturbing and i'd rather not watch it ever again but i did for years back in the VCR days when we had a VHS tape called Thrills & chills that included this and Cobweb hotel and Jasper and the haunted house which is a good one too. This thing which can almost resemble a cow or a okapi though some thought it a dog. It eats until its king kong size in which they blow it up. Just a nightmare from a guy eating a well pretty much a grilled cheese. The silent "zoo" cartoons (rated X) aren't as disturbing as this.
Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999)
Like Zoinks! Its very good.
Every coward for himself! So among all the good rated R's of the 90's i also loved this. One of the best Scooby's but i was only 9 when it came out. Unlike the newer Scooby's none of the voices are annoying. Love Tim Curry, always have. Its a shame about his health of late but he does not disappoint on here! He gives a dose of that evil laugh of his. Tim Curry is after a spell book. He's one of the best baddies. So therefore while he seems okay you know there's malice in his mischief. Shaggy & Scooby did not disappoint in their eating. I love people who love to eat too. Good music. Good story. Love it.
Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire (2012)
Schreck is back, well kind of
Tired of Cummings voice already. His character is disgusting & annoying. No Micucci to voice Velma, thank god. Dracula is a romantic story, always has been. Lately Hollywood has beend ragging it badly in the mud. Langella & Lugosi were perfect Draculas. They has the sensualness that goes with it. This one leans more towards Nosferatu so it kind of reminds you of Max Schreck being back again after quite an absence. The music is good, some of the songs are annoying but hey just fast forward. Nice to watch like some of the others but will obviously never beat the old or the originals. Still no one's voice expect Cummings is genuinely irritating.
Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders (2000)
One of the not so good Scooby Doo's
Not as good as the other Scooby's though i do like all the voices. Its obvious who is the aliens. Could do without the on screen romance. Like Innes as shaggy & Scooby and BJ Ward. There is a jackalope which is cool. Lester has an annoying voice. Other than him no one else is really annoying. Shaggy & Scooby get abducted by aliens! Or so they think. Aliens. Not the gorgeous Predator ones either. The hippie chick & her mutt i can really do without. Annoying. I don't care for hippies on a good day. Always trying to hook up Shaggy & Scooby. Just let them alone. The 3 villains are annoying too. The ending is not the best because really - there are no aliens.
Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy! (2006)
No Kate Micucci so not bad
To begin Freddy's parents are really annoying esp his mother but so is Tim Conway. Always have loved Ron Perlman. The spooky Lorre hypnotist gets old. Why does no one do a Dwight Frye impersonation? Always its Lorre. Mystery Cruise the gang go on. Brought up a few old monsters like Captain Cutler & the Wolfman who smuggled sheep. Skunkbeard is a cross between Morgan Moon Scar & Red Beard. Its cute while they are in a Cave Shaggy is looking for the light switch. I do that often enough. Good pirate music. The sighting of the USS Cyclops was pretty cool. The showdown is cute. And Scooby & Shaggy save the day. Shaggy has balance as good as me, when he tried to use the mop. Love it.
Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster (2004)
One of the best
Same great voices, none annoying. I am going thru a bad time in my life and needed some comfort. Anything to help me forget trespassers. Love it when Fred has a meltdown about Shaggy driving. The monster is very cool. Good music. Good songs. They go hunting for Nessie and in many ways Love when Scooby & Shaggy go looking for food, imagine that, get lost in the castle, and of course shaped by the creature. Nessie may be computerized but she is very cool. Mankind is the only monsters out there. But i do wish the good monsters were real. Nessie and all the other cryptids. Has a very good ending. Haggis is a bit disgusting.
Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare (2010)
Scooby Doo meets Jeepers Creepers
Love the Woodsman, very cool. Nice evil laugh. Burt was kind of annoying but other than him no one got on my nerves. Good summer camp movie! Fred has some smoke issues but ain't that the truth? Every time you get near a fire the smoke comes after you. Smoke follows beauty. Deacon uses his inhaler wrong. You're supposed to inhale & hold it. The scooter ride thru the woods is cool! Love it. Town is under the lake like Tappan lake around here. It would be cool to go see it. Like Velma says, i agree you do not see it coming who the villain is. Loved the surprise. Scooby & Shaggy get their licks in on several good dishes esp his 5 alarm chili. Loved it! Great movie. One of the best.
Sisu (2022)
Greatest War Movie of All Time
I am 34 and have seen a lot of war movies with Dad long before i was 10 years old. He's been gone 7 years. He would have loved this. I loved it. It was not predictable. I haven't said that about a movie in years. Good kills. Good Music. Good gore. Bruno is quite sexy. Really good story. Villain falls with a block buster - that is a new one. Glad the dog lives and i don't even like dogs. Had a slight Spaghetti ting to it but also just a very good war movie. Kind of an Inglorious Basterds ring to it even. You root for this guy and he is relentless. Tagline said Glorious Carnage. Oh yes indeed. Very very good movie.
