Welcome to my weird world!
Merry Christmas Everyone, Film Viewers and Filthy Animals Alike! Fun fact: A relative of mine is an elementary school teacher in Ajax, and last year it was the final day before Christmas break and her class voted on a movie, and this was the winner. Not because it was a favourite. Not one of those... Continue Reading →
The more horror movies you see, the more you get numbed to them and demand better. Actually, as I was typing that, I realized that's the same for all types of movies, but with horror it's especially true. You watch some classic terror productions to get creeped out, you watch some new ones to get... Continue Reading →
What a wave of surprise! Sponge on the Run is the best SpongeBob movie yet, even better than the timeless, daring and jubilant first one from 2004 that I grew up with. I can’t voice my dislike for Sponge Out of Water enough. It was misleading, misguided, and jarringly took zilch seriously. More info about... Continue Reading →
I liked the Scooby-Doo cartoon that was on when I was a little kid old enough not to get creeped out at the monstrous faces. I mean, monster costumes. That was the What's-New version. Looking back the actual mysteries of who-dun-it were fairly easy, but I guess I often enjoyed guessing correctly. Not only that,... Continue Reading →
Seeing this film was one of the better whims I've gone on this year. I wish I'd seen this on Halloween. One group that I hope sees this are this group of boys who bullied me in sixth grade for being a quiet weirdo. Or maybe I don't. I've been able to move on. I... Continue Reading →
I may not be an American (I'm Canadian) but I can't think of anyone I know not paying attention to the U.S. election right now. I've anticipated this day more than any other in my entire life. It's the final hours of votes being counted in some key battleground states, and earlier this afternoon I... Continue Reading →
One of the posters self-advertises this movie as "The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience." And actually, I think they earned the right to call itself that. This is a pure horror movie as relentless as a creature with no conscience, aka the monsters breaking down the safe havens of their targets for misery.... Continue Reading →
Even the eight-year-old within me cringed. The same eight-year-old who's loved so many movies aimed at kids and preteens even today, and loved so many Adam Sandler movies that have been critically panned. Hubie Halloween is a mixture of these, and here they go together like whatever those three soups Sandler orders in this film... Continue Reading →
There's such a humungous history of classic movies that established itself way before I was born, and that's why I often prefer watching what's new and take it a week at a time. But after seeing the 2018 Halloween when it was released, I thought, Why the heck not? You know the story, and even... Continue Reading →
Even if I give a movie an F or an A+, I'm willing to accept why someone else might love or hate that same feature. Even pictures I've found completely insufferable or life-changingly astonishing. I don't like peanut butter, but why should I be concerned about someone who does like it on their toast, right?... Continue Reading →
