Cobra Kai Season 4 review.

Best season yet?

  Season 4 had everything you can imagine, twists and turns, rivalries, great fights, pranks, revenge and great villains. I ended up binging the latest season and now i am just waiting impatiently for season 5. Is this the best season? I don’t know what the rest of the public thinks but for me this was the best season for me. It starts off amazing and ends amazing and that is the best way to do any TV show or movie. Let me first start off i watched the movies growing up as a kid, it wasn’t my favorite film franchise but i enjoyed them. But this series is just way too good and i can not stand teens or kids lol, they get on my nerves jk. But first and for most its great to see one of my favorite characters from the series

The return of Terry Silver

  This master manipulator is a villain we defiantly deserve for the series. I love “John Kreese”, he is great in his own rights but Terry Silver brings a whole different type of villainous energy that i can not get enough of. This is my guy and can not wait what to see what he does next in season 5. And but my boy Silver has another new challenger waiting for him and ill give you a hint, he is just as dangerous and deadly and he looms ready.

Eagle Fang/Miyagi-Doh

I can’t get enough of these two going back and forth. When they are not beefing and bickering each other, they do end up helping each other. Teaching their philosophies and beliefs when it comes to fighting and that was really cool to see. “Johnny Lawrence” with his strike first methods and “Daniel Larusso’s” defense strategy ends up working for them later in the series. Both believe their method is better then the others method, their beliefs gets in the way of the ultimate goal. Winning The “All Valley Karate Tourmanemt” But overall this rivalry ends up getting the best of the alliance causing the dojo to go their separate ways.

Fallen hero?

A lot of pressure falls on the kids on both sides but for me seeing Miguel as his positive self bummed me out. He’s always been my favorite character next to Johnny and too see his character come back from a devastating injury to once again question himself and then making a shocking decision at the end makes me wonder, is this the last we see Miguel fight? If it is well he had a great run but who are we kidding, my boy will be back. (I hope). A lot of growth from the kids, some have grown wiser while some have grown more dangerous, some have grown to do the right thing. New leaders and new cobra Kai’s has made this show grow as well and continue to get better and better.

Overall grade, i am going to give this season a solid A. It was fun, funny, intense, the tournament had me at the edge of my seat, literally and i can not wait for season 5. If you haven’t watched this show yet i recommend giving it a chance. You will not be disappointed unless you hate teens then this will not be for you. Tell me what you like or love about the show. Who is your favorite character, favorite fight or scene but. Hope you enjoy the review but most of all hope you enjoy the show. Until next time be safe and enjoy.

New Years, fresh start.

For the most part most of us we have the many questions going into the new years like “what is going to happen this year” and the answer is, well there isn’t just any answer to that question, its a matter of what you plan on doing about the new year. Are you looking at the new year as a fresh start, or a continuation of a path that you currently following, or is it a chance to find something new? We all have our reasons to for the way we look at new years. For me I consider it a fresh start. New goals, new tasks, new accomplishments and new beginnings. Me, personally I love new years and usually can not wait to see what the new year brings.

I do not make new years resolution, i make new goals and focus on them throughout the year. Do accomplish my goals, no but i still work on them, focus on them and do the best I can to achieve those new goals. Now I know there is a lot of people brining in the same problems they had the previous year as well and that is okay. Your fresh start can be focused on taking care of your previous goals or challenges and can help you move on to new and better things in life. What i am saying to you readers is take advantage of the fresh start. Bring some new fresh air to your life and go out there and achieve the goals that you have always wanted. It can be done if you want them done. But in the mean time i hope everyone of you had a great holiday season and new years and i will be bringing you more content for this blog and hope you continue reading and enjoy. Until then my friends, stay safe and enjoy the good times life will bring you.

Battle of the iconic rap groups. My review of Bone versuz 3 6 Mafia

The History

   These two historic rap groups goes all the way back 26 years. I remember being a little kid, i think around 8 or 9 years and discovering Bone thugs and Harmony. First time i heard them, my first thought was the way they rapped and harmonize was the first i have ever heard that type of rap and it was beautiful. When “Thuggish Ruggish Bone first drop, that song spread fast around the bay area and we loved it. Then to find out they were from cleveland Ohio.  Members “Krayzie Bone, “Wish Bone, “Layzie Bone”, “Bizzy Bone”and “Flesh-N Bone” came in on the scene with the dookie breads looking like they came from LA but to find out they came from Cleveland Ohio first we have ever heard any rappers from there while adopting had a very west coast sound to them due to the greatness of the late Eazy-E. They had hit after hit and we could not get enough of it.

Then maybe about 2 years later another group rises from “Nawf Memphis” was 3 6 mafia. “DJ Paul” “Juicy J”, Lord Infamous” (R.I.P”) “Cruncy Black” “Gangsta Boo” and “Koopsta” (R.I.P). Now before we heard 3 6, a lot of family and friends were already listening to “Brotha Lynch Hung” so the dark horror rap sound was heard around our parts but 3 6 had different sound to them. They had some buck, get crazy down south flow to them and of course we fell in love with them as well. A lot of parent were not letting their kids listen to 3 6 due to the belief that 3 6 was satanic worshippers but in my house hold anything goes lol. No i am not a satanic worshiper and i am not here to claim 3 6 mafia are worshippers themselves. Their music was to great and went hard to pass up.

    Now growing up we heard the diss track called “Live By yo Rep” aimed at bone which had a lot of people talking about the beef but Bone went on to focus on making even bigger hits and 3 6 was taking over the underground rap scene. Couldn’t hate on either direction.

THE VERZUZ BATTLE

Now to start off my biggest complaint to the battle was the crowd. No energy, no wild crowd, just basically have a large group just recording everything on their phones. Not really hating on the phones but damn come alive LA you have the two biggest rap groups in front of you going to war. We needed more energy out of you. Maybe one day they will announce a rematch. Now i knew going in this battle was going to be tough for both groups. Each one countered a hit of their own from “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” to “tear Da club Up”. I was hyped, bobbing my head while watching. Get some energy in me like was a teen getting ready for a football game again and i loved it. Watching my childhood rap groups go at it made me remember why i love rap so much.

Each group had their special guests appearances which made the show even better. From “Lil Flip”, “Chamillionaire” “Lil Eazy E” the spirit of the late great “2 pac and “biggie” along with Terrance Howard was amazing. There was a lot more guests but i will let you see them for yourselves if you have not watched the show yet.

Loved his energy

Now time address the elephant in the room and that was Bizzy scuffle with Juicy J and the little fight that broke out. I know a lot of people were upset about what happened and what “Gangsta Boo had to say about Bizzy but for me and honestly i didn’t take it serious. Some ish was said and Bizzy threw a water bottle and i think Flesh hit somebody with a mic but then both groups went backstage and hashed it out but came back and finished the show. Bizzy came back and finished the show and when they needed him he was ready and was pretty much ripping 3 6 apart in some of the battle but we all know Bizzy is one that many rappers do not want to battle.

OVERALL

This was a great show that i wish went longer and also there was a lot of hits that were not performed but i still loved the show and for me there was no winner. Both groups talked a lot.of s*** to each other but had a lot of for each other as well. Now coming in I thought Bone would edge them out but 3 6 proved that they are not second to Bone but Bone proved that even though they haven’t had a hit in years they proved that they are still Eternal and loved that about Bone. I know a lot of people were discrediting one group to make the other group look better but with these two, i don’t think you can do that. There was something else missing or i can someone and that was

Scarecrow

One of the most underrated but yet one of the most influential rappers to ever bless the mic who passed away almost 8 years ago to this day. He was my favorite member from 3 6 mafia and if you want to listen to a great display of his skill then listen to him on “Tear Da club up thugs” “CrazyNDalasDayz” album. His flow would have been a great counter to Bizzy bone. R.I.P to the Scarecrow.

I hope to see a rematch with a different crowd, more hits, more guests and no fight break outs and maybe we will get a clear winner. Let me know who you think won the battle and let me know what city should host the rematch if there will be one.

My overall grade i give the show a solid B but thats just me. Tell me what you thought of the show and tell me your favorite song from each group. Until then thank you for visiting this blog. Until then be safe and have a happy holiday. Peace

My top 5 Thanksgiving Movies.

We are now back to the magical time of the holiday season and pretty much everybody second favorite holiday around this time, Thanksgiving. (Well at least everybody i know). As thanksgiving approaches this week i have been seeing more and more christmas movie advertisements coming on more and more along with christmas songs on the radio and it got me thinking, where is the love for thanksgiving movies? Well look no further then this blog because today i am going to give you my top 5 thanksgiving movies. As i did my research for all the thanksgiving movies on Google and Imdb and to my surprise there was over a hundred movies and most of them i have never heard of them or watched but these timeless classics will put a smile on your face one way or the other and some of these movies will surprise you and to start off the list at number 5

5.

Boomerang

This is the one that will catch you by surprise but for me I watch it every year around this time of the year. The thanksgiving dinner scene in this movie is hilarious. The late great John Witherspoon steals the scene along with Bebe Drake. Just this scene alone is great and i promise you will laugh and maybe have some tears. So to me this is a classic Thanksgiving movie and one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. And next in the list

4.

Rocky

For a lot of us, Thanksgiving time is a time for family, happiness and great food but for Rocky “its just thursday” and time for him to take the very shy pretty woman that works at the local pet shop by the name of Adrian Pennino. This holiday classic has it all. A great underdog story, love, toughness, holiday season and Apollo Creed. This is another one i watch every year for this time of the year. And next on the list.

3.

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Growing up in a big neighborhood with a large group of kids, we kind of lived out like the Peanuts gang. And as the peanuts gang enjoys the Thanksgiving season, this movie always takes me back to those days and this one is to great to pass up. Sure its short but its long enough to last forever in the heart, no matter how old you get, this one always brings back great memories. And next on the list

2.

Scent of A Woman

This movie is great and Al Pacino is incredible as a blind drunk retired Military man who pretty much makes everybody feel like crap but I love it and the speech that he lays out to the school at the end of movie is oscar worthy in it’s own. Next to movies like “Carlito’s Way” and “Dog Day Afternoon” Pacino performance is up there with those classic roles he performed. Now finally number 1

1.

Trains, Planes and Automobiles

You can never go wrong with the late great John Candy and Steve Martin and when they shared the screen for this thanksgiving movie, they did not disappoint and this movie is just too funny and I love this movie. Makes you really think, why do they not make movies like this anymore. But overall if you want a great laugh for Thanksgiving. If eating to much at Thanksgiving doesn’t hurt well the comedy from this movie will get the job done. So enjoy and watch it with love ones. You will not regret it.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving season with family, friends and loved ones.and appreciate this time with them and have a great time and be sure to remember the most important thing and that is to save me a plate. Jk but please remember to not take this time for granted and make sure you stay safe. Thanks for taking the time and be sure to share your favorite thanksgiving movies. Until next time Happy Thanksgiving and have a happy Holiday season. See you next time.

My Halloween Kills Review. The Good, The bad, and the corny. Spoiler Free

  After the 1 year delay due to Covid 19 the man of the Halloween hour returns in very, very brutal fashion and boy this was one was off the scale. The kill count is at its highest, the suspense is there and to be honest they may even be the scariest Michael Myers i have ever seen. This was my second most anticipated movie of this year and i got tell you, i was very happy from what i saw.  First all i must say the 1978 mask they recreated was amazing, it maybe the best mask of them all. The blemishes they had on it while looking so clean was incredible. The movie starts off just super intense with great fan service but in a way the fan service starts to grow a little tiresome.

  Michael Myers is pissed and you can defiantly tell when he comes out of the burning house. He’s brutal as all hell and he is sparing nobody, not even your local firefighters. This maybe the best Michael Myers performance yet. As Michael carries on with bloody murderous path of the town of Haddonfield the news has broke out of the burning house he is still on the blood path. The news breaks out and the residents ban together with “Tommy Doyle” played by the  Anthony Michael Hall rallies the town to hunt down Michael Myers while Laurie Strode in the hospital. Returning character like “Lindsey Wallace” “Marion Chambers” and “Lonnie Elam” the classic characters from the original.

  The good’s

Overall i thought it was great. I know what the critics and rotten tomatoes scores have given this movie a negative score but i could care less. It was actually a very tense and scary movie. Michael is very cold blooded and its beautiful to watch. The music in this music is absolutely amazing to hear. Is this the best of the franchise, i am not sure yet but with time it could turn out that way or maybe not. But after watching it in theaters and at home, i was surely not disappointed and had a lot fun watching it while waiting for that next tense jump scare. Beautiful horror and bloody slashing action at its finest but of course no movie is perfect and now on to

The Bad

The bad for me was the Haddonfield mob, they just could not get their s**t right and they got on my last nerve. Not saying the actors were bad but they were just not likeable at least for me. Either somebody was just doing something stupid or making the worst decision possible. Some of the characters had no business trying to hunt for the boogeyman. By the end of this movie i was actually rooting for Michael because i was just done with the people by the end of the movie and now on to….

 CORNY!!!

There was so much corny line’s in this movie and it was getting annoying. From the “Evil dies tonight” chants to the over explaining of how Laurie Strode talking about how she needed to be the one to Kill Michael caused me to roll my eyes multiple times and chuckle a little bit. Even my wife who is scared these movies even rolled her eyes. Now earlier in this review i mentioned fan service and at the beginning of this movie its amazing but as the movie progresses and so does the service and it starts to grow old and there is one line at the end that was great in the original movie but to hear it again at a certain situation of the movie was just cringe for me but overall i still enjoyed it for the most part.

Overall score

I will give this movie a solid A and most likely will watch it for a 3rd time because i just loved this movie. It was a lot of fun, it was actually scary and very dark and sometimes very gritty in a positive way. So if you were looking for a negative score well you came to the wrong blog but if you hated this movie which there is a lot of people. Well i can respect that.

If you took the time to read this review i say thank you. And also leave a comment and tell me your thoughts of the movie but hopefully you stay safe and have a fun loving halloween season. Until then see you next time and be safe and remember always watch out for the boogeyman.

My Halloween Movies Ranking

Today is the day a lot of horror movie fans have been waiting for. Today “Halloween Kills” is coming to theaters and Peacock streaming service. And as a fan of this franchise since i was a kid. Over the years this crazed halloween serial killer has gone through 11 different movies in which one of them Michael only appears in a TV ad in a bar scene in the movie “Halloween 3. The season of the Witch”. But overall i am even adding that movie on the list. This movie franchise defiantly has its up’s and downs but i take all the bad with the good. Of course i am not happy with the bad ones but it still feels good to watch the bad ones on a cool fall night. Overall Michael Myers has survived everything you can throw at him, bullets, knives, fire, fists, kicks, bad writing, bad executive decisions, reboots, more bad writing, bad ideas and more reboots. Since the new movie comes out today i thought it would be a nice touch to give you My Halloween movie rankings. And to start off the list and probably at no surprise

11.



This franchise killer is dead last on the list and rightfully so. From a kung fu Busta Rhymes, the bad casting and a plot that was pretty much trying to copy the success of “The Osbournes” and other reality shows at the time, this movie falls flat and never gets up. Its D.O.A. I mean the editing is terrible, just watch the party scene and you will see what i am talking about. This movie was a mistake and too a lot of fans this movie does not exist and i can not blame them. This movie sucks….. not number 10

10.

I know some of this movie has some pretty cool moments and has a touch from John Carpenter but want to see Michael Myers but what i got was a Doctor who pretty much didn’t want to deal with his kids who enjoyed a nice scotch or 5 of them. Overall John Carpenter wanted to move on from Michael and well this is what we got. If you want a killer well Robots are your killers in this movie along along with masks that kills the kids on halloween night from watching a TV ad from “Silver Shamrock”. Now i have heard this movie a decent following and if you are a fan of this movie, more power to you. On to the next at number 9 is…….

9.

Ah Halloween 5 The revenge of Michael Myers. Another black eye on the franchise. The movie that wrote the franchise into a tough spot and pretty much nearly killed the franchise after having such a great comeback from the previous entry. From killing of hero in the last movie to the forced horrible comedy with the goofy cops with their goofy theme when they enter the scene. This movie is just plan bad and just hard to watch. The characters are are annoying and Dr Sam Loomis has lost his mind and kind of funny to watch but overall this movie usually gets passed and deserves it. Next on the list…..

8.

Now i am going to say this, i actually do not hate this movie, but this movie did not feel like a Halloween movie, this felt like something you let your friend borrow something and then two years you get it back and object is ruined and you have to throw it away and buy a new one. This is what that movie is and was another franchise killer. Rob Zombie had free range on this movie and it really shows. From the white horse, the ghost mom, horrible characters and the worse Dr Loomis i have ever watched but this movie does has some qualities that i enjoy. This one goes really dark and gritty and Michael Myers is more ruthless. But thats about really it. On to the next movie

7.

Now this one a has a great following but for me this one is very slow and kind if drags on. John Carpenter did not want to do this movie, everybody knows that story but for me i can really see he didn’t want to do this. The firs act of this movie is great but when it gets to the middle, it gets boring and at the point i just kind of want the movie to hurry up and get over with it has some pretty iconic scenes in this movie as well. Good suspense and Dr Loomis i feel is at his best. Next on the list.

6.

Okay this is one of my guilty pleasures in he franchise. I know its so bad but yet good. Now there is some very questionable writing in this movie but you know what, this is Michael Myers (to me) at his most powerful. Its Michael Myers on steroids with heavy metal playing in his ears as he walking towards his prey to kill them. I love this one because as a kid me and my friends would always watch after a full day of football in the fall. This movie has a great fall atmosphere. Sadly this would be the great Donald Plesance last performance for the series since he passed away before the movies theatrical release in september of 1995. Next in the list is……

5.

Before Rob Zombie lost the rest of his mind he made this 2007 remake and for me i really enjoyed. It does have a lot of issues like the fact almost every guy looked like Rib Zombie and almost everybody talked like Rob Zombie (problaby). This movie came out five years late after the god awful Halloween Resurrection and brought back life into the franchise. Michael Myers was a giant and scary again but one problem, they gave The Shape a back story and not a very good one. But its way better then the sequel next on the list.

4.

True story, this was the first Halloween movie i have ever scene. At only five years old, my dad let me watch it with him when he rented because my parents were more afraid of us walking down the Street in Oakland california in the late 80s then horror movies. But when i first watched it i really liked it and told my friends about the movie. From the god awful acting to it being a product of the times, this movie just sticks to me and its so fun to watch. Even with a terrible mask, Michael Myers is still scary very creative with his kills. You should see what he does with a shotgun. And with the great dark fall atmosphere and creepy soundtrack, this movie can never be passed up. Next on the list…..

3.

At the controversial number 3 slot comes the original. Now this was not first one i have seen in the series. I didn’t see this one until i was 10 years old so i was really late to the party. I love this movie but it was neve really scary and at ten years old listening to the dialogue always made me laugh but the stalking, the way he killed almost like a ninja. The escape scene from the institution was very creepy. This movie is very iconic and helped the slasher franchise breath and it can not be denied that this movie was a blueprint for classic horror to take notes from. Its a movie that can never be passed up during this time of the year. At number 2

2.

The first Halloween movie i ever seen in theaters and this movie did not disappoint. From the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, to stripping of Michael Myers of the Thorn Cult, psychic links with his niece (who does not exist in this time line) made Michael Myers cool again. But he wasn’t scary due to the horrible mask selections throughout the movie. Why they couldn’t have one mask and a good one is beyond me but overall this was my favorite one of the series for years. I also wish they had better music to this but thats really my only complaints about this entry. Now for the number 1 pick.

1.

I loved this one so much i actually watched it twice in theaters. To restarting the whole time-line, bringing back a much more rugged Laurie Strode and this time she is not playing. Michael Myers is now more ruthless then ever and to not make them brother and sister was a very good idea. I know a lot of people may have an issue with this being at number 1 but i just thought it was so great and Michael myers is at his scariest and i love the story is back down to basics and the music is so perfect. And it came out in October which made it even better.

This the my halloween movies ranking. If you have your ranking please do not be shy and share your ranking with this blog or share it to the world. Also let me know if you will be watching Halloween Kills. But thank you for reading this blog hope you guys enjoy the new movie. Have a good time and Happy Halloween.

Movie’s too watch for the Halloween season.

      My favorite time of the year is here, my halloween spirit is up along with the decorations covering up my house. Classic horror movies are on the TV. The weather is cooler and crock pot meals are cooking at rapid pace. And just like every september where I watch a marathon of Martial Arts movie for my birthday, October is no different. The halloween season marathon has begun. Now of  course I watched the classics like “Halloween movies” “Friday the 13th movies” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street movies” “A Nightmare Before Christmas” but there are others that I would recommend outside of those classic films. So today I bring you my top ten Halloween season movies.

1.

This late 70’s horror classic has everything you want, (well almost everything). If “Jaws” made you want to stay out of the water then this movie will make you want to stay out of funeral homes. This chilling old school horror keeps a creepy vibe with a eerie story to it and the music to this movie is really cool to listen to. Now for a lot of todays audience I think a lot of people forgot about this franchise but if you come across it, give it a chance. Its not the scariest movie in the world but it defiantly has a very creepy vibe to it. With blood thirsty dwarfs, flying metal sphere balls flying into peoples heads and causing them to bleed out like a standing hose, this movie fits well with the season.

2.

   Parents if you are looking for something to watch with the kiddos then look no further then “ParaNorman”. This 2012 animation is now on Netflix. The animation is cool, the story is funny and there is a lot of adult humor in it. Overall its a fun movie and I don’t think the kids will be disappointed from this one.

3.

“Some motherf***kers’ are always trying to ice-skate uphill”

    Who would of thought brutal action horror would be the one to save the superhero franchise. Well this is the grandaddy of them all. Blade 1 and 2 are classics and fit perfectly for the halloween season.  You got blood, gore, horror, vampires and Wesley Snipes as a bad ass the classic marvel vampire hunter character “Blade”. The first movie set the tone and the second movie steps it up with the horror and gore. The Reapers will give your kids nightmares. This is not the avengers. You have been warned.

4.

   This 1999 horror is perfect for the time of the year. The retelling story of The headless Horseman directed by Tim Burton is a very dark gothic tale opens up the world involving witchcraft, brutal murders and a very chilling atmosphere is a movie you can not pass up in the halloween season. Johnny Depp does a good job as “Ichabod Crane” and the “Headless Horseman” is cold blooded and brutal. I love this movie, I am surprised i don’t hear enough people talk about this movie when it comes to horror, maybe people don’t like this movie, i am not sure but this movie will always be on my list for Greatest horror  movie for me

5.

  Okay, this movie is my childhood. I remember always renting it from Hollywood video (remember that place). The Ernest movies were great but very dumb but its another guilty pleasure and this was my favorite one of the series. The wacky story along with the creepy trolls that they created for this movie was so good and the way the trolls turned kids into wooden dolls was kind of chilling. If you are a 90s kid like i am then this movie will bring back good memories. For some reason i can never find this movie on any streaming services but if you come across it, give this movie a chance.

6.

Here’s another one parents can watch with their kids. This 20006 animation has great voice work and great animation to go with it. This movie is very fun to watch with your kids. And every halloween season needs a haunted house.

7.

Another classic comedy that blends a little horror into it that the kids may enjoy. Lord knows I did at six years old. This 1991 comedy is just great overall movie in my opinion. I remember being so excited to watch this in theaters and always watch it for the halloween season. Now Raul Julio (it was a a tuesday) plays the perfect Gomez and Christopher Lloyd as uncle Fester is incredible. You barely can recognize him. This is another one that the family can enjoy together.

8.

Forget Rotten Tomatoes. This late 90s dark comedy horror was just way to funny to pass on. Not to mention the gore and horror is just perfect and its set around Halloween time. I loved this movie as a teen and Jessica Alba had a lot to do with that. Overall this movie is too good to pass up. I don’t see it in streaming services and i think overall people forgot about this one but if you come across it, give it a chance, you may like it.

9.

Another horror classic thats hard to pass up for this time of the year. I mean the same alone is perfect for the halloween season. This monster of vengeance is out for blood and it will get it one way or the other. Now along with Phantasm this horror classic has been forgotten about. Now if you are into 80s horror movies like i am, this one will not disappoint and if you are disappointed then Pumpkinhead will come at you for revenge

10.

And at number 10 is the great “Trick R Treat”. This horror mythology set on Halloween night is the perfect halloween movie and I hope, if the rumors are true we will get a sequel one day. Overall this movie blends it all perfectly, humor, gore, deaths, halloween atmosphere and a great well rounded cast and great stories that all end up joining up nicely. This one should never be passed up if you are looking for the perfect halloween horror movie.

Now i know we have our own movies we like to watch during this time of the year and if you have one you would like to share to this blog you are more then welcome too. Overall its a time for fun i hope you have watching these movies i recommended and if not then i apologize for your bad taste in movies (i am joking). But come back next week to this blog as i rank the halloween movie franchise before the much anticipated “Halloween Kills”. I hope you guys have a fun and safe halloween season and enjoy the horror that comes with this great season.

Milk Crate Challenge, My thoughts.

Why?

First people wanted to drink bleach, then it was licking donuts then it turned into licking ice cream and putting it back in the freezer so someone else can get sick. Just when you thought people couldn’t get anymore ridiclous, duh, duh duh “The Milk Crate Challenge” appears and I must tell you, its kind of funny to see. Not for the injuries but what people will do, the injuries and consequences people will do for internet clout. Now i have actually seen people go on this challenge and succeed without any injuries but I think there is a higher percantage of people who didnt make it.

The injuries

Busted ribs, cracked sternums, broken backs, dislocated joints and fingers and etc. I have seen the injuries, the drops, the painful screams and even the cheers with little reward for their efforts and why would they? Broken bones is not cool and having millions of people laughing at you from their computers and cell phones because of the injuries is just another additon of pain. All of your followers will laugh and then move on to the next trend while you are recovering in the hospital (if you are lucky to get to a hospital).

The reward

The reward to this challenge if you make it without falling. Well i am not sure what the reward is. Probably more followers, maybe cash if somebody bet you. It could be a variety of rewards but you have to ask yourself when you are all the way up on the milk crates, losing your balance, sweat beading from your head with eyes locked in on you. You must ask yourself, “Is the reward worth it”. But by the time you ask that question it might already be too late when you are falling and you land stomach first on to a crate and the next question you are asking your is “why did i do this dumb s**t?” The many questions that go on in my head about this challenge but the biggest question about this challenge is where are people getting all of these crates?

Well if you are one of these people who are doing this challenge, well I hope you make it without any severe injuries but if you do, well you know what they say “You knew thr dangers of the job when you took it”. But in a serious note, do not accept this challenge. Kids be safe and do not accept this challenge.

1992 Candyman Review….I dare you to say his name

Candyman….candyman…candyman…naw im good.

   I can remember growing up as a 80s baby and back then my parents did not care, horror movies were always on and even with “Freddy Krueger” scaring the living ish out of me but I kept going back to watch it. Loved watching the Halloween Movies, “Friday the 13th” movies, “Pumpkinhead”, “Child’s Play”, “Hellraiser”. You name it we were watching at a very early age. (No I do not let my 3 year old watch horror movies and never will). My love for horror movies goes deep and I still watch them to this day. My wife not so much and that makes it alot funner to watch them with her. But “Candyman” was the one that made me scared again. Around the early 90s when Freddy was losing his fear, Jason was ready for retirement for a period of time and chucky…well chucky you can just punt him across the room and be done with him. But Candyman had me shook. I remember my dad took us to the theaters in Oakland to watch Candyman at 7 years old and by the 3rd act of the movie we were out lol.

BE HIS VICTIM

The plot: Helen Lyle played by (Virgina Madsen) is a college student in chicago who is working on a research paper on Urban Legends and comes across the story the of Candyman. Murders happening in the Cabini Green Projects. Helen is not a believer so she drags her friend to the projects to get some information. And she hears the stories and you think that would be enough to say “okay, i got enough info” but nooooo she comes back and well lets just say she probably keep her ass home at this point but “she doesnt scare easy” until candyman actually shows up in a parking garage and then all hell breaks loose for Helen Lyle. And Candyman doesnt mind bringing the hell to her.

The history: the character Candyman is based off the short story created by the great horror writer Clive Barker called “The Forbidden”. The orginal story was set in Liverpool England but director Bernard Rose wanted the movie to be set in Chicago, Illinois.

Tony Todd’s performance

The man himself

Tony Todd is a horror icon and this is the role that put him on the map. I loved his performance of “Night of the Living Dead” but this role put him up there with the titans of horror. His alone should be in the horror Hall of Fame. But his presence when you first see him makes you think “oh s**t”. The way he used the bloody hook in the movie was devastating. The way he grunted when he caught a victim was so chilling. His performance was amazing and scary at the same time. He was even good in the two other sequels even though the sequels were not very good.

There will be blood…and lots of it

Now if you like blood and guts well you will not be dissapointed but be very cautious there is some disturbing stuff that happens in this movie and parents who love this movie and has kids please do not let them watch this because this movie will freak them out and you will have to deal with consequences (I know my dad did). And believe it or not some of this movie is based on grim stories that actually happened in the Cabrini Greeb Projects but you can read up on that. Overall its a very good, very scary movie that did its job when the other horror icons were not cutting it around the early 90s. This movie goes down in the top five horror movies of all time. Overall grade I give it a A+. And yes I am very excited to watch the new Sequel that comes out in friday. I guess its time to get scared again and if you plan on seeing the new one well I hope you have a good time.

The Suicide Squad review. Non spoilers

   I remember a couple of months ago when I first saw the first trailer for this movie I didn’t see too much to it except for the forced comedy and the over the top jokes and the blood and guts being shown off. It looked cool but I didn’t have much stock into the movie. To me it looked like a Rated R version to “Guardians of The Galaxy”. Also to ad i at this point from all the backstage news I read about Warner Bros and Zack snyders Justice league not continuing, I didn’t care anymore. As a long time dc fan and a fan of Dceu, for the first time I wasnt invested in watching a dc movie. My girlfriend on the other hand did have interest which suprised me because she doesn’t really care for the super hero genre.

THE SUICIDE SQUAD

To my suprise my girlfriend and I ended up loving. It was a lot of fun and not as much forced comedy like I thought there would be. There was a little but I think that is the style of James Gunn. I got hooked pretty quick into the movie and it starts off pretty fast. The style of it is pretty clever and the movie overall takes a lot of chances that pay off.

The team

The new team is led by newcomer “Bloodsport” played by (Idris Elba aka Stringer Bell) is great in this. He does a great job as a bitter and angry now I don’t know much about this character background but he does has a pretty impressive background with taking out the man of steel himself. He leads the team of “Peacemaker” played by (John Cena) who does a great job in the movie. Along side with “Rat Catcher 2″ played by (Daniela Melchior). King Shark” played by the great (Slyvester Stallone). And “Poka-dot man” played by (David Dastmalchian) who ended up being my favorite out of the team. Harley Quinn and Rick Flag also return along with Amanda Waller

A first team is sent out on a mission and well things do not go as well and a second team must go in and save the day but what they find during the course of the mission, lets just say this mission will be more of a suicide mission when they have to battle a large Star fish from outer space.

The classic Villian

In my opinion the trailers did not do this movie justice. I ended up liking this one alot nore then the orginal and I want to note I actually liked the first one but this one was much funner to watch and this one takes alot of risks that I like. The action was on point, in fact I even liked it so much that I watched it twice last weekend. The small easter eggs were all over the place and even though I am not the biggest fan of the director I do hope he continues the suicide squad.

So if you are looking for a great action packed, blood splattering comic book film then this is the one for you. Over two hours of all that you forget the movie is pretty long. So if you need something to watch then this is it and enjoyed. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and hope you safe and great. weekend
