Fred (860 KP) rated Hubie Halloween (2020) in Movies
Oct 10, 2020
A new Halloween classic?
First question: Is this a good movie? No
Second question: Is this movie funny? Yes
You can't go into this movie expecting it to be any more than it is. A comedy with Adam Sandler & his friends acting silly.
The story is silly, the characters are silly. It's typical Sandler. People are mean to him but he keeps on keeping on until he's the hero. At the end, I didn't feel his bullies got what they deserved, but Hubie, Sandler's character, gets what he deserves. And that's fine.
His movies are all about his character. The out-of-place loser that everyone hates or makes fun of. So, how does Hubie stack up? He's great. He's the Water Boy character but instead of water, he's into safety, especially during Halloween. But the thing that I really liked is that he was scared of everything, screaming at every little jump scare & some not even that. And every time he screamed, I laughed out loud. In fact, there were lots of things making me laugh at. Every shirt that Hubie's mother & her friend wore had me laugh like a kid. I think the part that made me laugh the loudest was the cat's reaction when Violet insults it. The secondary characters were all funny as well.
There were throw backs & Easter eggs to his other movies too, like the O'Doyles from Billy Madison or Ben Stiller from Happy Gillmore. But I don't want to give away any more of them, including the cameos from famous people.
So, in ending, yeah, it's not actually art, but it's damn funny. I was laughing throughout the whole thing. I could see myself watching this every Halloween. It's a new classic in my house.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Dirty Trick (Perfectly Matched, #1) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is the first book by this author that ive read and it definitely wont be the last. This book was humorous and sexy. This is a friends to lovers story that you wont want to put down. This is the perfect Halloween story. The story flowed really well and kept me reading till the very last page. The characters were well developed. This is a short story but well worth a read.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Andy K (10821 KP) rated Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) in Movies
Oct 2, 2018
And introducing Paul Rudd!
Wow what a low point in the Halloween series.
Michael is back to finish up murdering every surviving member of the Strode family in this nonsense entry in the series. Hard to believe 6 years after the last installment this is the best they could come up with.
Production problems plagues the film which I'm sure didn't help. It was painful to watch.
Too bad this had to be the last appearance of Dr. Loomis due to the death of Donald Pleasance.

Lee (2222 KP) rated Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018) in Movies
Oct 25, 2018
Despite having 90% less Jack Black (in physical form, he still provides the voice for ventriloquist dummy Slappy), and a complete change of cast, I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the first movie. Better paced, with a more fun cast, Goosebumps 2 takes its time relishing in the creepiness that is Slappy, the ventriloquists dummy. Having him create havoc within a family environment before he unleashes the rest of his Halloween gang on the town. Took my daughter and nephew to see this and they loved it. Great fun.
PyroTheDragon (6 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Resident Evil 7 biohazard in Video Games
Nov 14, 2018
This is not Resident Evil.
When I bought this, on a whim with no real research, I though I was getting a zombie game. What I got was not zombies, though it had somewhat of a resident evil feel the game is way off script. Without really giving details I can't explain it any better than this. You remember the Halloween series? Most of the movies followed Mike Meyers and his antics. Except for one somewhere in the middle that had nothing to do with him. That movie is this game.
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Hell Fest (2018) in Movies
Jul 2, 2019
Hell Fest was hella fun! Hell Fest is the perfect horror movie to kick off the Halloween season. While I was able to really get into it as I was only weeks away from meeting up with my friends in California for some hellish festivities of our own, I really think anyone that watches this movie will feel like it's your friends that you're hanging out and trying to survive with. Get your RIP front of line pass to Hell Fest and prepare for a killer good time.
