Witches


I want to write about The Craft but I have nothing to say about it.  I watched it.  It had Neve Campbell, Faruza Balk, Robin Tunney and Skeet Ulrich among other people.  It didn’t do anything for me.  It was there.  It wasn’t bad.  It wasn’t something that changed my life.  It was just there and I watched it.  That’s about all I have to say about it.

So...what do I do for the rest of the space?  I don’t like giving really short things.  It needs to be longer.  I need to give you something longer.  Hm...I could talk about Halloween candy.  Anybody want to know about my dislike for candy corn?  I don’t like it.  That’s all the talk I can give you about Halloween candy.  Maybe I should talk about witch movies?

The Witches of Eastwick.  I have never seen it.  I’ve never had interest in seeing it unless I just want to watch it for the sake of being able to say I’ve watched it.  That’s all I have to say about The Witches of Eastwick.

The Wizard of Oz.  I love this movie.  The transition to colour was one of the best directorial choices ever.  It might actually be the best directorial decision ever.  The story keeps me engaged, and the music isn’t bad.  The Wizard of Oz gets a “definitely watch” from me. That’s all I have to say about The Wizard of Oz.

The Wiz.  Never seen it but when JD sang one of the songs from it in Scrubs, I got a little excited.  Nipsy Russell?  Sign me up. That’s all I have to say about The Wiz.

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.  Wait...this shouldn’t be here.  There are no witches! That’s all I have to say about Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.

Halloweentown.  If I remember correctly, there are witches in this.  If I also remember correctly, it was alright when I saw it as a child.  If I am thinking correctly, watching it now I would think it blows.  That’s all I have to say about Halloweentown.

Harry Potter.  Watch the third, and the final four.  Trust me, they’re the only ones that matter.  Er...maybe the last half hour of the fourth.  It’s kind of important to the story.  That’s all I have to say about Harry Potter.

I think this is long enough.  The Craft is probably a great movie if you are into that kind of thing.  I think I’m nowhere near the target demographic, which is why I’m not even going to write too much about it.  Hence all of the above stuff.  That’s all I have to say.

First Time Watches: March 2019

Image
I’ve been writing these first-time watch posts for a long time. They are a chronicle, month by month, of the movies that are new to me. They could be theatrical releases or they could be older movies that I’m finally getting around to. Either way, they’re fresh to my eyes, never having gone through them before. With that comes pleasant surprise, a great experience, disappointment, or frustration. There could be many more emotions as well. These posts share my emotions from having watched the movies with whoever decides to read them. I fell behind on these posts a long time ago and have been trying to work my way through them to eventually catch up. This post will cover March 2019 and the movies I saw for the first time over the course of that month. Any rewatches will not be a part of this post. If they aren’t first time watches, they don’t count. March was a month full of all kinds of movies. There were good and bad, like usual, and a variety of genres, also like usual. Th...

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   ...
