My love for Halloween Ends

Yes, if you are reading this then you read it right. I loved this movie. Make no mistake about it, I’m a big Halloween fan and I do not care for the backlash this movie is receiving from critics and fans. If you are not a fan, great and if you are a fan like I am. Then you definitely have my support when it comes to this finale of this trilogy.

First and foremost the reason why I love this movie. Its the risks that it takes, goes with a different formula from most of the movies and the risks for me pay off. Introducing the new character Corey Cunningham and turning him into a crazed killer who starts off being terrified by Michael Myers but then later wants to become like him to serve out revenge on those who called him a monster, teased him for accidentally killing the young boy who was babysitting on Halloween night. Too me that was amazing.

I loved the character, and the idea was something fresh and alot of fun to see in the screen. It was cool for me to see something different. I mean if I was too see Michael chase Laurie Strode for another 90 plus minutes, I might have checked out because I have seen it so many times. But to bring in this character and the way his story arc started was incredible. It was brutal and very disturbing and quite frankly, it was pretty sad and very, very scary if you really think about it.

Too see this character dive in to a very deep abyss of Evil and to want to become like Michael Myers didn’t turn me away, it caused my interest and my excitement to grow even more. The more I looked into this movie and from reading different articles and listening to interviews from directors and the actors told me, “this was going to be very different”. And that’s what I wanted to see. To see Corey spend time with Allyson one minute and next killing a person that did him wrong as he was a some evil Vigilante at night with Michael or without him was so cool to see. I also want to point out Allyson has weird a weird taste in men lol.

This movie brought in a new element of fun. In Halloween 2018 it was fun to see them restart the time line and bring back JLC. Halloween Kills it was fun to see Michael take the body count crown from Jason Voorhees. Halloween ends was fun for the new ideas to make the movie scary with the lack of Michael Myers screen time. To show you that even with Michael not being on screen very much, his evil presence was still there. Even in a weakened condition he was in showed you he was more then just brutal slasher, he was pure evil at its purest form.

The man, the myth and the boogeyman legend

Now to see Michael in the condition that he was in in this movie made perfect sense to me. Back in 2017 David Gordon Green and Danny Mcbride confirmed Michael Myers was not immortal, so too see him hiding in the sewers, body damaged from being burned, shot, stabbed, fingers blown off, hit with bats, chains, and etc and being very old as well. Yeah I can say Myers was on some borrowed time at this point. So yeah Ole Mike is going to need some backup. Now the controversial part of Corey fighting Michael and getting the best of him and taking the mask did not bother me at all. I looked at Micahel in this movie like he was Logan, old, beat down and Corey being X23 so he had the advantage of the blood rush and youth getting the best of Michael.

I enjoyed JLC in this one, last movie she got on my last nerve with with the annoying dialouge, the way she talked about Michael. But what can you do. It was good to see the classic Laurie, enjoying her life, moving on from Michael, being a normal baking grandmother who was actually enjoying the Halloween season and longer being afraid of the boogeyman. It was cool to see but then when she had to get down and fight with Michael she had to whoop on the boogeyman and for me I wasn’t even mad about that. You killed her off in a dumb way in resurrection, I say let this iconic character get her win so she can live a peaceful life.

And of course the major spoiler. Michael dies, his number 31 jersey is sent to the raftors with his killing buddies Freddy and Jason and to be honest I felt it was time. The character has been stalking the creens now for 40 plus years and it was time to move on and the way it was handled, I thought it was amazing to see. To see his body grinded up like, turned into a thousand pieces of flesh was amazing and very brave of the writers to actually do it. Of course this ending still in some ways has us left in mystery. Did Michael really kill Corey. Some people don’t believe he is dead and could set up for maybe a Corey Cunningham spin off and if that is the case. I’m for it.

Now on to the backlash. My dad use to tell me, “spoil a kid too much, that kid will turn into a brat and turn on you” and I see what he was talking about. Now if you don’t like the movie, fine, you have that right but I have seen multiple youtubers get attacked by multiple people for liking this movie. Halloween “Gatekeepers” leading the charge on attacks and my response to that is thanks for making this fanbase toxic. But it was only a matter of time. Stars wars has turned toxic, marvel has turned toxic and etc. And its a shame.

Also want to point out this will be my last movie review I post on this blog. I have decided to get back on the horse and try to pursue my own career in Hollywood and write my own movie scripts and didn’t want to Carry on with critiquing other people’s movies. It is now time for me to write my own. Whether I fail or succeed, it is time to give it another shot. Until next time my friends. Be well, enjoy the Halloween season with your love ones and be safe.

Moon Knight spoiler free review

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Batman: Spoiler Free Review.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

MORTAL KOMBAT REVIEW spoiler free

Orginally i wasnt going to do a review of this movie but i remembered that this was orginally going to be a geek culture blog before i seen all the toxicness that comes with it. Since i have always been a die hard fan of mortal kombat since i was 6 years old. Too me this movie did not dissapoint me at all. Ive heard the negative reviews and from youtubers and other social media sites and thats okay. Me personsally i loved it. I had some issues with it but i am not much of a nitpicker when it comes to movies. This one was really fun, loved the bloodshed and the action. I loved the easter eggs and i love the set up to the next movies (i got my fingers crossed). I know i will catch some flack for this review but whatever.

It was great to watch it from the comfort of my own since theaters are still not open in my town. Overall the action was great, the story was kind of short but i can understand why even though i wish it was longer. The story had some changes from the original lore like the way the fighters were chosen for the tournament and the addition of “Cole Young” (which i was a fan of).

The characters were cool to see come alive again especially my boy Kung Lao. “Sub Zero” reminded me alot of “Michae Myers” in some scenes which i thought was incredible. I enjoyed seeing another one of my favorites Kabal get some screen time. “Kano” who i was never really a fan of may have actually been my favorite in the movie. I enjoyed the new “Shang Tsung” and Raiden as well. “Jax” did the damn thing and sonya was spot on. For the dissapointment in some of the characters like General Reiko who i have been a huge fan of since his debut in MK4, well he was kind of just there lol but what can you do? Now for the new character “Cole Young”. I enjoyed him alot and also i was happy the continued the traditon of adding a new character like they have always done in every game that has came out. Also always been a huge fan of Lewis Tan since seeing him in “Iron Fist” and “Into The Bad Lands”. He brought some heart into the film and i hope to see more of him in the future sequel films. No johnny cage was not a issue for ne since i have never really been a fan of him but im sure we may see him in future films as well. I enjoyed the performances overall and it was great to see Joe Taslim as sub zero go up against Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion (my all time favorite mk character). Ludi Lin was amazing as “Liu Kang”as well.

We also should remember that this is pre tourmaent time so dont expect the much honor among the villans in this film even though they dont really have honor in the video games either. The story goes really fast kind of how the first games were especially when there was no pause button in the first two games.

Overall i had alot of fun, so much fun i watched it twice. I hope for alot of success for this movie where maybe another movie studio will take chance with another great fighting games series that i have loved since i was 3 years old. “Street Fighter”. One can only hope. Overall for a MK movie i give it a 9/10 just wish it was longer and the editing could use some work imo. For a overall movie i give it a 8.5/10. Keep in my mind i am not a vert strict critic, i dont really watch movies to really critique them for a youtube page but i do plan on starting to give viewers some movie suggestions in future and focus more on the geek culture again just for fun. As for theories well i have a few but i dont want to spoil much for the readers just in case you if people not watched it yet.

I can understand people’s complaints about the movie but at the end the issues dont bother me that much as long it doesnt take away my fun from the movie. Im not going to compare it to the 95 film since times have changed so much and both have their differences and both are great in their own rights. Now if you dissagree i am totally fine with but lets remember to keep it respectful. I have seen the toxic and over the top debats that go online about this topic.
