Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
I was underwhelmed
Felt rushed; Depp was definitely a more menacing Grindlewold, I got use to change for the sake of the film. Great story build up and wonderful choreography, but the story kind of switches on you and this is why I think it feels rushed. It was a good movie, I just expected a lot more.
Jennifer's Body (2009)
Could have been so much better
I watched this for a second time yesterday as it had been over a decade since I watched this on its initial release. The concept of this movie is fantastic and original, however so much more could have been done with it. I feel if they dived deeper into the satanic motive by the band who sacrificed Jennifer would not have been awful, and there def was a lack of body count. This is a horror comedy which is lacking in this industry, that accomplished it's goal of not leaving me bored and stimulates one with a creative mind, however I was disappointed because they definitely needed more building on of the story.
Candyman (2021)
Not As Bad as the reviews
Look, I bought a ticket to this ahead of time and then read these IMDb reviews calling this movie a "woke political statement", it's far from this. This is a spiritual take on the legend that just fills in the gaps presented in the original. The same plot and "woke nonsense" a lot of the likely bigots leaving reviews on here is the same as original.
Don't let the racist viewers dissuade you from seeing this; it's a great flick and I only give it a 9 because there's like 5 seconds of Tony Todd.
Child's Play (2019)
Great flick
Well written and put together, none of the characters were boring and I actually found this Chucky doll to be scarier. Totally did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did. Mark Hamill is the bomb. I also enjoyed this Andy a lot more than the original.
The Fanatic (2019)
Don't let the cover fool you
Browning past this a hundred times on Amazon prime I decided to give it a shot. At first I thought what's so special about a movie about a villainous obsessed fan of a c grade horror movie actor? Well that's not what it turned out to be, surprisingly I felt Devon Sawa was the true antagonist of this film the way he treated Moose. Moose is obviously either autistic or suffering from Asperger's, and didn't know what he was doing. I felt terribly sorry for his character and was happy with how the story ends. A movie that is a lot better than it appears off than the cover of the film.
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)
It was okay at first
It was great the first half and that's because it was great to see all the original characters again after so long. The "journey" part is where it got slow. It kind of had like a similar plot to dumb and dumber sequel. The last act regained some steam for the film and had a great final scene. All and all it wasn't a great movie in my opinion because it didn't keep me engaged throughout. But at least it wasn't a piece of garbage.
Nightbreed (1990)
Adult version of Little Monsters
I watched this for the first time yesterday, and after it was finished all I could think of is little monsters wyrg Fred Savage only with some morbidity and horror. The movie was both boring and enjoyable. The character development was weak aside from the make up of the creatures and the particular midian "Peliquan" whom was my favorite character of the movie. The scene of the guy cutting his own face off is pretty gruesome and classic. Midian itself is the place you remember from your nightnares, a place you wouldn't be able to comprehend if you actually were there. The climax of the movie could have been better. Great concept, put together at a mediocre level.
Pet Sematary (2019)
Greats and Mehs.
I will say the movie was entertaining and it didn't leave me disappointed. For the most part I thought the story was well developed and the new touches were mainly great. I love the domino effect caused by Lewis's Creed's two bad decisions. He messed up when he buried church and messed up when his conscience convinced him not to give demonic church the lethal injexfion, resulting in Ellie going into the road, his wife being murdered and ultimately his own demise. This is something the original did not emphasize on. What I wasn't really impressed with in this film were the takes on Judd and Pascow. Judd didn't have that new England Maine/Boston hybrid accent and seemed weak. I would feel more safe around original Judd. Pascow lacked dialogue, I didn't like the one word sequences he mainly had; preferred the oroginal. I think this one was definitely more suspenseful and entertaining compared to the original and has an excellent ending paving the way for a potential sequel if the right story can be put together. As in for which I think was scarier? The original hands down.
Halloween (2018)
Better than I anticipated
I had no doubt in my mind that this movie would be good, but I had no idea it would be fantastic. The story was well put together and lacked any plot holes. Connecting this to a story told 40 years ago is certainly no easy task, blown away by the solid connection. I also enjoyed the in depth character examination the movie puts on Michael, it makes you think they might reveal the motive behind his badness, but when it comes to pure evil, you'll find yourself searching for the rest of your life. As for the ending, it certainly leaves you wanting more. Why not 10 stars?? Here comes the spoiler.... they should have revealed to the audience that Karen's maiden name is Tramer.
