Main character doesn't make sense and changes her her persona completely in the 3rd act without reason. The overall story drags and doesn't offer much of a payoff.
Such a waste of time. Why do they even make movies like this?
Oh right, for idoits like me to be tricked into watching it.
It's better than the last two movies yet still isn't perfect. I wish in a reboot, they'd explain all of these poor attempts at sequels to be Sebastion getting older while rereading his story and losing his imagination more each time. Which in turn leads him to hand the book down to the next kid in line to enjoy.
This series had some good ideas but instead of being a reboot I wish instead they could've made it something it.
Worth checking out if you enjoyed the first film though. Most of the episodes are easily located on YouTube.
We always hold a party at my church. Which I sadly can't stay long for because of my dinner theater tonight. But I do enjoy this holiday. We've always celebrated it since I was a kid. Probably why I have more fond memories of it than when I was a kid.
Have a good one folks!
WORST holiday ever. It's Megan's 2nd favorite but I'm the one who's miserable the entire time. The only good thing is I'll be helping out at the haunted car wash this evening, which will be the only fun I'll have tonight.
I was bored and starving for a good movie to kick off the "halloween" season earlier this month.
Unfortunantly, I found these movies instead.
A trilogy of films I've heard a few good things about and decided to give a try. Here's my short review on each one.
X
The year is 1976 and a group of young adults go off to a farm to film a porno. Little do they know the elderly lady who owns the land (with her husband) is a pycho killer.
Yep.... that's it. VERY slow, boring and overall DUD to kick off the trilogy with.
The second installment is the best of the 3 (which isn't saying much) but it takes place in 1918 and focuses on the old lady when she was younger and how she became who she was in the first movie. I enjoyed it being a "day time" horror movie. The setting and costumes were nice. The story doesn't play like a horror until the very end, with the best scene going on while the credits rolled.
If you haven't noticed already, it's the same girl in all 3 films for some reason.
Dennis Hopper's also in the cast as well. Playing a crazy weed-selling man with a mysterious past. By all accounts, this movie should be remembered by someone you would think??
But after watching, the slow pace and odd story line, I can see why the public has forgotten it ever existed.
I guess the point of the movie was to show how uncaring Gen X is to death. At least I think that's what the ending was trying to say. But who knows. I won't be coming back to this movie ever again.
Ah! A story of how these teenagers had one crazy summer trying to save someone's house (whom they just met) by getting everyone to attend her rock concert, only to then be foiled and have to win a boat race from uppity rich people in order to trade the trophy for the house.....yep, that was the plot.
Boy this movie missed completely what made 80s movies fun. Its "wild moments" included the same guy from their group getting somehow caught underneath a fat man eating chili 3 times in the film.
I'm assuming he farts a lot on him? I guess that's the gag but the only thing we see afterwards is the ambulance people arguing over who has to give him mouth-to-mouth. (just like in real life?)
I wanted to like this movie. But all I saw was a failure. No wonder its never mentioned in the Hall of Fame for 80s movies. I gave it a try because "Lucas" (also from the 80s) is an excellent movie that no one ever talks about.
But this was a far cry from being an unsung classic that's for sure. Too bad they couldn't figure out how to use Cusack for something better.
But when one bad desicion comes back to haunt him, he has to figure a way out of it and free himself from town for good or die.
Not a bad movie. I can see what people saw in it back in the day. But today, there are much better stories being told. There's nothing wrong with this movie. But I can see why it's been forgotten.
Have a good weekend folks!
It was written way back in 1846, so the pace is slow, but I didn't mind it. I read stuff like this all the time. It IS a little long and that's the only negative thing I can really say about it.
Is it worth reading? I don't think so, unless you want to know about the first vampire story ever written. For that matter, it would probably be worth it.
It's public domain, so finding a free or cheap copy is relatively easy.
Michael Douglas to a pay cut to star in it and I think it's the best thing he ever did. I remember watching this for the first time when renting it out and liking it.
Now? It's gotten even BETTER over time. Worth checking out!
I'm not sure if I'd always pick this above the regular, since it is new and that's the only reason I'm trying it now. But a cashew one would be great if they made it!
Just saying...
Fact is, it did huge numbers at the box office so I'm sure we'll see another sequel in the next 5 years.
I feel it was just many scenes strung together by a thin plot. Not Pixar's finest. Thast being said, I was never crazy about the first film either but think it's at least better than this one.
I'm not sure if or when Pixar can regain their magic. I'm not ready to write them off yet, but to me, it isn't looking good for the company at this point.
It's a perfect movie, that's entertaining and engaging the entire way through!
A few months ago I heard the 19th and final season came out this year.
I had no idea the series was still running 20 years after its creation! So I decided to try watching ALL of the seasons.
I only made it to season 5.
The show is hilarious and the first 4 seasons are virtually perfect. The humor is excellent and though season 5 let's the "storyline" get in the way of more silly moments of the two teams goofing off, it still finishes strong and overall is a great story arc.
I tried watching season 6 and it appears from this moment on, the series tries to take itself more serious and making a "cinematic" dramady out of the series which loses the main ingrediant of what made it so special in the first place. It never took itself serious.
Trying to build a story with little humor, buries the fun of watching. I felt like I was being forced to watch someone play a video game and make up their own story along the way. I was bored and didn't make it to the halfway point of season 6 to realize this series wasn't for me.
Again, I love the first 5 seasons. The story ends and you can walk away never having to wondeer what happened to your favorite goofballs in a world galaxies away.
But believe me...if you watch even further, you'll find out they became miserable attention-seeking characters that tried to take themselves serious when all fans wanted was something to laugh about.
Too bad.
It was at my local Family Dollar. $6 for 18 pack. Such a good deal that I almost bought 2 cases but decided to try it first. I'm glad I did.
It's good. But just cherry flavored RC, nothing more special than that. I'm happy to have tried it, but after this I'll go back to drinking the regular brand I think.
It's pretty tasty, comes in a tall can and sells for $1! I wish RC would make a bigger push mainstream and go up against these other sodas. I truly believe RC could increase its market share if an effort were made.
I don't know if it's still in stores but I can tell you I loved it when I bought a few last month.
Good stuff! Here's to hoping they have more exclusive flavors in the meantime!
Little sliders aren't much but tasty enough to grab a bag when I'm passing through. Any leftovers when I get home I like to spice up with extra pickles, mustard and a few different sauces I have around the kitchen. These puppies are delish!! Just wish we had a place closer to us I could ge them more often!
I tried it.
Couldn't help myself.
On sip of the coke and I was good. Taste like Oreos mixed with diabetes. Thankfully, my kids finished off the rest.
Although when it came to the cookies....after one bite they never finished them.
Yes. Disgusting. Taste like molasses mixed with peppermint. Really strange flavor.
"A" for effort "D" for delivery.
These will NEVER be coming back. So if you want to try them, get it now.
Or come by my house...I still have a few cookies left.
I love pop tarts even though my kids hate them. I tried it....meh. You can taste the flavor but after the first pack, I found myself wanting the actually pie instead.
I'm just happy to find something that's not "pumpkin spice" which is the most popular flavor this time of year.
