Fear the Walking Dead: 5x09 Channel 4

As a big ‘Walking Dead’ supporter, I hate to admit it... but, this was - hands down - one of the worst episodes EVER in this universe.

I am OVER Al and her :pound_symbol:%$&ing stories. Nobody cares anymore. Toss the camera aside. Storytime is over. I could barely stay awake.

With a decline in viewership, it’s time to reinvigorate your audience. This is not how that’s done.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘John Wick’:

  1. After so much hype and excitement to finally see this film, I was ultimately disappointed.
  2. I was not a fan of the music, at all. I felt it was relentlessly distracting, taking away from the movie more than contributing to it.
  3. I think the pacing and nonstop action is what did it for me. Everything just happened so quick. (i.e. I had a difficult time believing John was upset enough to avenge the dog when he barely had time to connect/bond with the dog.)

The Boys: 1x07 The Self-Preservation Society

One of my biggest television pet peeves is when a character can explain a situation a trillion times better than they actually do - and they don’t. When they can very easily defend their actions, successfully and succinctly - and they don’t.

That was Hughie here. Frustrating to no end. Starlight doesn’t deserve you.

Rant over.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘El Camino’:

  1. Yeah, it was kinda unnecessary. But it was nice to follow Jesse Pinkman and see him get a much-deserved happy ending.
  2. It was also cool to see Cranston as Walter White once more.
  3. Everyone needs a friend like Skinny Pete.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Eyes of My Mother’:

  1. This is a stark reminder that I’m never letting any strangers into my home or car.
  2. I thought the ending was maybe a little too abrupt, but satisfying enough.
  3. Overall a good film (7/10). Effective in B&W. Bleak, sad, and all kinds of messed up.

Doctor Sleep

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Doctor Sleep’:

Creep 2

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Creep 2’:

  1. Like the first one, it’s difficult to tell where the story is gonna go.
  2. I was surprised at how this felt completely different from its predecessor, while successfully continuing the same story. Less creepy, more psychological.
  3. I agree that these are some of the best, more original “found footage” films.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

My Review of ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’ in 3 Sentences:

  1. I wasn’t fully satisfied, but I wasn’t bored - thanks to some solid spooky visuals.

  2. The Bellows family story - the source of the action - felt rushed and incomplete.

  3. One major downside is that several character fates will never be revealed by a sequel that’ll never happen.

Eraserhead

I can appreciate the cinematography, the score, and a big ball of weird being left up for a whole lotta interpretation. But I found this film to be more frustrating than entertaining.

I finally decided to check Eraserhead out after seeing it at the tippy top of a bunch of lists and receiving recommendations from friends. In the end, I just wasn’t as satisfied as so many other viewers were.

It: Chapter Two is a perfect example why horror films should rarely use CGI. Their overuse of it took me out of the moment on way too many occasions. The original television movie used practical effects that were more creepily-effective than what was used here. The Chinese restaurant / fortune cookie scene serves as an appropriate comparison.

I enjoyed the film overall. Skarsgård is a super talented actor, and I enjoyed what he brought to Pennywise more this time around. The Losers’ Club ensemble was fantastic as well (Chastain is queen). It’s difficult not to compare everything to the original (which I still believe is superior). Skarsgård is no Curry, but - then again - nobody is.

I will admit, however, that this modern day venture into Derry wins out with its ending. As opposed to the 1990 film, :asterisk_symbol:this:asterisk_symbol: one is properly climactic in every way. And kudos for the addition of Richie’s true love. :rainbow_flag: (Hader was perfection.)
