31 Posts Of Halloween: Childs Play

So, last night I watched the movie Childs Play on amazon. This was the first time I have ever watched the film. It wasn't bad, just not as good as I had expected.

I have heard much hype around Childs Play, and I have watched a little bit of the sequels. Yet I still haven't seen the original, and everyone was telling me to go and watch the original. So, I did.
The acting in this movie is alright. I'm not saying that it's bad, far from that, but to me, it just seems passible. The performances are not outstanding, but the actors to play there parts well enough that the story flows nicely. At some points though, their acting does seem a little stilted. Then again for the circumstances of the movie it was okay, I guess.
Now Chucky the doll himself, that dude was a fun villain. For a horror film, he wasn't really that scary, but he was for sure entertaining. I do enjoy the POV shots that they do in the film to show Chucky moving around before they actually show that he is alive.
Nothing stands out much in the was for the color scheme in this movie. I didn't notice much of a theme that they could have gone for, and I don't know if that was intentional or not. The music for the movie was pretty forgettable.
Overall though, this is a classic 80's horror movie and I appreciate it for what it is. I just think that this movie could have be made a little better. It is worth watching at least once if you are a fan of the horror genre. If you saw the movie, let me know in the comments what you thought of it, if you liked it or not, and why?

final score: 3/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold. I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
