Almost Paradise: Rise of the Kalangay (2020)
This episode sucked!
Spoilers*****
First off, you could tell who the bad guy was within seconds of him showing up. Second, the episode was so out of character for people. All of a sudden people are acting opposite of who they did in the previous episodes. Just plain stupid. Could have been so much better with better writing.
How come all of a sudden Ki hates Alex and just shoved Ernesto to the side? Every previous episode built up to their relationship together and all of a sudden it was all torn apart. This was just stupid!
On the other hand, the way the frame up worked was pretty good. Honestly though, if the new guy who showed up from the past wasn't a bad guy - that would have been something that you wouldn't see coming.
Hell on the Border (2019)
So Much Potential, But Disappointing
I was really looking forward to this movie because I've seen some documentaries about Bass Reeves and his awesomeness. The man was awesome. This move is not. The acting is subpar, the use of modern music in this western style movie doesn't help it at all, it so hurts it. This really could have been a great movie in the vein of the old westerns of the 60's and 70's. But it wasn't. Please avoid this movie and just find a documentary about the great Bass Reeves.
Halloween (2007)
Rob Zombie go back to writing lyrics...or cooking recipes, NOT movies
***If my first paragraph is considered 'spiteful' please ignore or erase.***
"Hi, I'm Rob Zombie. I have no clue how to write a movie. If I ever participated in a Project Greenlight or any other movie making competition, I'd be voted off the island, booed off the stage, I would not be your American Idol, I would stop dancing with the stars, I just plain wouldn't win, and hopefully I would be duct taped up forever, and the U.S. government would pass a law forbidding me to ever make a movie again."
There was a time when horror movies were in some way a morality tale-good versus evil. But this movie was evil vs evil. There were perhaps 2 people that you might feel any amount of sympathy towards when they are killed. That is a huge problem for a horror movie. Also the issue that common sense does not exist for many of the characters, that too is a problem.
The movie itself was more so Halloween: The Michael Meyers story. Michael's sister, Laura, was hardly even developed, and what part her character was developed, it was done so poorly. I can't feel sympathy for a character I don't even know or feel an attachment for, and thus, you fail in what you're trying to do, which one would assume is get you to feel a connection to these people.The main person you feel a connection to is Michael, and that's not a good connection. Partly you feel sorry for him, the other part, you despise.
In short, just o rent the original, it's not so great either, (for it's time it was)but it's way better than this.
