Last night the 6th and final episode came on Hbo Max last and alot of it caught me off guard. Now if you have heard of this case that happened in the city of Baltimore a few years ago then you know the outcome of this grim story. Real life polic going rouge,, stealing, robbing and extorting the residents of the city. Men with badges that were no better then the crooks they were sworn to go after. Even the innocent were not safe from these group of officers. Now I am not going into full details of the story because it’s a lot to take in and honestly it’s a rabbit hole that I have seen too many times and read about.
Wayne Jenkins.
The man that lead a operation that got him 25 years. There is no secret that Jon Bernthal has become one of the most exciting actors from his roles on “Walking Dead” “The wolf of wall street” and of course “The Punisher” but this role of him playing disgraced Sgt Wayne Jenkins of the Gun Trace Task Force was more up my alley. The wire is my all time favorite show and with the show creators coming back for this mini 6 part series, I knew I was going to watch it. Jon Bernthal did a amazing job, even based off a scumbag person, he nails the role. He’s energetic, intense, and overall just evil in this role.
Overall grade, i give this show a solid A. If you are not use or didnt hear about this case, i suggest you watch this show. 6 1 hour episodes that reveals the truth about what was really going on in the city of Baltimore.
Growing up in the Bay Area, I was and still am Golden State Warriors fan. So my hate for the Lakers is very real. Alot of respect for the players, organization and history but will always hate them. So of course when the organization kept winning my Warrior’s were just scraping by and making it to the playoffs. But that’s all in the past and HBO max has done a great job in my opinion bringing up the Lakers past winning history in a very funny, sometimes deep kind of way. When I first seen the trailer and seeing one of my favorite actors John C Riley was portraying the late great Dr. Jerry Buss in a very John C. Riley way. It caught my interest. Then I kept seeing more. From the camera they used to put you back in 1979. The settings, seeing the old Forum that I use to go to whenever we traveled to Los Angeles area and see the Lakers stomp out my warrior in the regular season in the early 90s.
The Premise:
Dynasty
It’s the off-season for the Lakers and new regime is coming to take over. Dr Jerry Buss has landed on a gold mind. Has a chance for the number 1 overall pick, building a new light at the end of the tunnel for him and his family but there is one problem. Dr Jerry Buss is over his head when it comes to being a rookie owner of a historic franchise. The great Jerry West, the logo himself is stressed to the max and and causing stress in the front office. Also Jerry Buss is broke but he lands maybe one of the greatest if not the greatest point Guard to ever play
You know who he is.
Quincy Isaiah starring as Magic Johnson was incredible to watch. When I use to play basketball as a teen I use to play pg and my dad who hated magic and the Lakers made me watch old Magic Johnson highlights to help me become a better passer but obviously i didn’t pay much attention but to see this guy play Magic is pretty spot on. They way he talks, the way he runs the down the floor in scenes. Seeing him become the 6’9 floor general is amazing to see and I hope this actor gets some love in the Oscar season because I feel he did that great of a job as Magic.
My Favorite of the show
“The Logo”
Okay now I know there is a lot of controversy with the portrayal of Jerry West but too see Jerry so explosive, pissed off and losing his s**t almost everytime he is on screen really made me love this show. Now I have great respect of for Jerry West. Never seen him play but his mind for the game and building teams up is amazing to see and read about but to see how the pressures of the game and managing the team was pretty intense to see and hilarious most times but I can see that amount of pressure getting the best of somebody and it made for the show to get kind of dark sometimes. With that being said Jason Clarke did a amazing job as well. Also like to thank Jerry West for axing the possible trade of Klay Thompson for Kevin Love.
Overall Grade
Larry Legend
I give this Show a A+ I just love this show, and I hate the Lakers but the history is to great to not tune in. The acting was well done, the show was so fun, funny at times but had some serious dark times as well. It is a very well balanced show and if you are a sports fan or love the Lakers then I believe you will enjoy this show. Now once again there is alot of controversy moments that makes ask yourself “Did that really happen?” And to answer the question you have to ask a actual Laker. So let me know what you think about the show, tell me you story about your love or hate with the Lakers. Or if you want to talk ish about basketball just reply in the comment section. In the mean time thank you again for taking the time read this review and I will see you next time. Until next time be safe and enjoy life. ✌️
Its no secret that the moon knight show on Disney Plus has gain much popularity and the character is gaining his much needed popularity that was overlooked for many years but now the his time has come and in my opinon has given the Mcu a much needed and somewhat recharge. Now i havve had my issues with the Mcu over the past couple of years and to be honest i skipped a few of their movies. But when it was announced that Moon Knight was getting a series from Disney plus. I was a little worried that it would fall under the classic mcu formula. Never the less the kid inside me reminded me that this character is near dear to my heart but also this character is on my top 5 marvel superhero list next likes of “Ironman” Black Panther”, “Silver Surfer” and “Daredevil”. So I ignored my issues with the Mcu and dove in with excitement.
The story
Steven Grant with a “V”
Poor Steven Grant a innocent museum worker with great knowledge of ancient egyptain history has found himself dealing with some issues from Blacking out. Waking up in very different environments with blood on his hands and crazed soul sucking cult leader following him. So whats a man with that many issues do? You listen to your voice but in this situation you find out that your voice maybe the real version of you. Enter Marc Spector and what Marc Spector brings to the table is the “Fist of Konshou” The Moon Knight. And it’s up to Moon Knight to save the world from evil while he battles with himself and his identity and his past.
Author Harrow
Ethan Hawke does a great job playing the soul sucking villain in this series. He is very chilling as a cult leader. I have always been a fan of his work ever since “Dead Poets Society”. So when it was announced that he was playing the villain of the series I was sold. His presence in the show makes him feel like a villain from Mortal Kombat. Maybe it’s the way he sucks souls out of the innocent people in the show. But overall his performance was amazing.
Oscar Issac
Now for Oscar Issacs performance in the show. He really nailed it with this one. Playing a tortured soul who has to fight for a god who could care less about him while dealing with his inner battles with himself while going on sucide missions was incredible to watch. When he switches from Oscar Grant to Marc Spector was really fun to watch. From going from a nervous British museum worker to a bad ass mercenary who doesn’t hesitate kill was just too cool to pass up on.
Moon knight and Mr Knight
The coolest part for me was seeing the nice suits. Moon Knight in my opinion has always the best design when it comes to marvel character’s but when Mr Knight was first introduced I fell in love with that design and story. When you see them in combat in the show, I think you will fall in love with it as well.
Overall Grade
I give the show a B+. I would have given it a A but only 6 episodes is too short for me but overall I had a lot of fun. A great adventure superhero show that goes on a kind of Willy Wonka ride. But I think this is a great addition to the MCU. Now there is rumors going on that there may not be a season 2 and if that’s case then that is a great disappointment in my book. But overall it is what it is.
So to all my fellow Moon Knight fans. Tell me what you think about the show. Share your likes, dislikes and just tell me your experiences with the character Moon Knight and tell me what you think. But in the mean time thank you for taking the time to read this review. Until next time be safe and have a great mother’s day weekend and tell your mother how much you love her and appreciate her. Until next time, stay in peace my friends.
As the weekend has now passed, we sit with most likely over thousands of Batman reviews, and another review appears from the shadows. Just kidding, I write this review from the comfort of my living room. But when we saw this movie at our local theater it was a packed house. Full of fans and most likely youtuber movie critics covered in batman attire, it was a fun night to watch a new Batman rise, and I will tell you this. This movie was most definitely delivered. From the atmosphere, the music, the action, the suspense, the characters, the direction, the grimness, and, of course, The Batman.
The Batman
When it was first announced that Robert Pattinson was playing Batman, I didn’t really know much about his previous work. I never watched the Twilight movies, not that I was hating on them. I just didn’t have an interest in watching, but overall, from what everybody told me about his acting, he is a really great actor and his performance as a more menacing and reckless Batman he did a very great job and cant wait to see what has for the future.
Jim Gordan
The Premise. Gotham City on a cold halloween night is caught off guard by murder of a power official in Gotham city. A man leaves a calling card with a riddle inside for a two year veteran Batman. Jim Gordan needs his help to help solve these murders and riddles, but the rest of the police force does not trust Vigilante. While Batman struggles with the Riddler murders a young Bruce Wayne struggle stuggles with family secrets that come out. Now, Bruce Wayne must overcome the demons and face the challenges, but he also needs the aid of Selena Kyle, Aka Catwoman, while he faces other enemies like Oswald Cobbelpot and Carmine Falcone.
Catwoman
I got to say for me personally that this was my favorite catwoman that I have ever seen on the big screen. She was very strong, slick, and loved her look, and I must admit I have a big crush on Zoe Kravitz, so I was already sold when she announced to play Catwoman and I hope at some point she gets her own spinoff. She definitely deserves it, in my opinion. Then theres
The penguin
This was my favorite overall character in the movie, and it’s incredible how they turned Collin Farrell into the Penguin. I still can not reconize him when I look into the picture. He was brash, had some funny lines, and this was the penguin i always wanted to see. I know everybody loves Danny Devitos penguin, but for this, Penguin blows Batman Retuns penguin out of the water for me and can not wait to see Hbo max series.
The tone of this movie was incredible; it was very dark and grim. It almost gave me a feel.of the first Tim Burton movie while the music blended in with Nirvana gave me a Batman Returns vibe. Also, Matt Reeves direction gives this movie a slight horror tone the movie.
The Riddler
I loved this Riddler; he was scary, his voice, his riddles, and his presence was so creepy and fit perfectly to the movie. We all love Jim Carrey as the Riddler, but this character was in a desperate need of an upgrade, and we definitely got that for this character.
Overall Grade A+
This movie was a masterpiece for me and can not wait for a sequel. Now, am I going to say this was the best Batman movie? I am not ready to give it that crown, but with a test of time, more.views and may just become that. Now, even if you do not agree with this review, at least we can all agree on one thing. This movie is for sure better than Batman and Robin. But all jokes aside, I loved this movie, and I want to watch again, but I do not want to sit for that long again. Tell me what you thought about the movie. Your likes and dislikes. What do you want to see for a sequel, and what characters do you want to see join this new Batman universe? But thank you so much for taking your time to read this review and until next be safe and much love to my followers and readers. Have a great day.
Funnest superhero show out there since Invincible.
After watching John Cena performance in “The Suicide Squad” movie last year and after it was announced that a series was on the way I didnt take too much stock into it. Not that i have anything against John Cena or the character I just didnt make the time to get excited about it. But one day at the gym a couple of buddies of mine were telling me how great the first 3 episodes were and i got interested. I just finished the Show “Reacher” on amazon prime and after that show i decided to give Peacemaker a chance and I am very happy that I did. The action is on point, fight scenes are intense as hell, the humor is something straight from a college frat house and the easter eggs and Dc Lore is amzing to watch unfold.
The premise
Peacemaker is once again recruited for another mission with a lask luster Task Force X team to help stop a secret invasion and almost everybody knows what is going on…every one except Peacemaker himself. When he dives in more into the mission the more back story, bad history and bad blood rises out of Peacemaker in a very funny way.
The hero we deserve?
As a big time comic nerd i couldnt tell you anything about Peacemaker. All i know is when the job needs to get done, he will get it done one way or the other. When i see Peacemaker in action he reminds me alot of a more Jock like Punisher and John Cena does amazing job of bringing that aspect alive on this show. Even though John Cena is a mega star at this point in his career, i think this role is the one most people are going to really remember him as post wrestling career.
Team work at its finest
The overall supporting cast has great moments in the show and they carry their own weight and help elevate John Cena in the show. Each character brings a unique trait to the show and they deliever quite well. I honestly didnt have any issues with any of the characters and alaways excited to see what was going to happen next with each character. Also the cameos in the show are amazing.
The Humor
The show starts off hilarious with the intro. The dance scene in the intro is perfect and they did an amzing job. Even Robert Patrick gets in on the dance scene. James Gunn who is a hit or miss with me knows his dark and violent comedy and he never misses a beat. Say what you want about the guy but he does a great job of bringing not so very popular characters from the comics and bringing some life to them on the big or small screen and giving them alot of great humor material to work with.
Even this guy is hilarious in the show.
Overall Grade i actually give Peacemaker a Solid A and do not have any gripes with this show. I am really looking foward to seeing season 2 and I cant wait to see what James Gunn has in store for the DCU. If you haven’t seen the show yet I promise you, you will not be dissapointed. But if you have please leave a comment and let me what you liked or disliked about the show. Later this week I will leave my spoiler free review of “The Batman”. Until thank you for taking the time to read this review and trust me I already know there is a thousand reviews for thks but it means a great deal to me that you took the time to read mine. Until next time be safe and enjoy life. Peace
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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.
To all my my fellow nerds, fans of great animation and superhero content do I have a special gem for you to watch this weekend. If you are looking for something new to watch with great brutal action, something that you can somewhat enjoy a chuckle or two and get lost in a great story and listen to a great voice cast well your in luck. A comic book series that has been around since the early 2000s and is now getting its own show on Amazon Prime, I present to you
The premise: 17 year old Mark Greyson(voiced by the talented Steven Yeun) is not your average, sure to his friends he is your average teenager going to highschool and going through the issues that every teen would but behind closed doors he is the son to the most powerful superhero in the world “Omni-Man”. Voiced by the very talented (J. K. Simmons). As the world is full of turmoil, super villians and the epic loss of “Guardians of The Globe” the world is at a loss and now Mark Greyson who starts developing his powers knows that its time to step and become a superhero who is being trained by his father Onmi Man himself. He now becomes “Invincible”. As he trains he goes on adventures along with other superhero’s. As time as hero goes on it also casuses issues in his social life as a highschooler. Also something is very off about his father.
Overall I loves this show and I hope there will be a season 2. Now be warned to parents around my age with young kids. This defiantly not a show for the young ones but if you are a parent that allows young kids to watch content like this well you’re cool in my book. There is alot of blood and guts in this. The death toll is up there but if that is your thing then this show is for you. But there to this show then just action. The show and comic book honors the traditon of comic book storytelling. The chemistry between the characters is on point and the animation is just beautiful.
There is alot of great adult humor that is not forced. This isnt your Mcu formula show so dont expect a joke the end of every fight scene. The voicing talent is incredible. You got to love J.K. Simmons as Omni- Man, he knocks it out of the park in my opinion. The show has so much going on for it, I hope it continues for years and if you are a fan of this show, I say thank you and the reason why I say that is the more support it gets then we will get more seasons. Now I don’t know much about the history of this character or story but I am going to give it a shot and learn more.
The villians are amazing on this, but the main one, well if you havent watched it yet I am not going to be the one to spoil it but you find out real early.
Overall grade I give this show a 10/10. I have no complaints except for when I had to wait a week for the next episode but thats okay because now all 8 episodes are out for your enjoyment. So if you have no plans this upcoming weekend and need something to watch then give Invincible a shot. And if you are dissapointed then you have no pulse. I am just joking but please enjoy and have a great and safe weekend.
