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

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
