The only movie he's done that I like is The wedding singer.

...I loved WaterBoy actually...and 50 First Dates was very watchable...oh, Big Daddy as well...and Little Nicky and Happy Gilmore......his movies were okay for what they were ...but because they didn’t become anything different, anything more..?..they stopped being as okay, I guess...just same-ish and not funny anymore...like if you compared Adam Sandler to Jim Carrey for instance...?...Jim Carrey grew and matured and Adam Sandler didn’t so much so he had an expiry on his shelf life more than Jim...

Yeah - Hubie Halloween could easily have been made in the 90's . That might be what makes it watchable though? It has a sort of borderline-offensive simplicity about it, it doesn't try to be anything that it isn't. Most films these days try a little too hard to be uniqur/quirky/clever. This just embraces being really dumb. Really, really dumb.

...you know that you’ve made it so that I’m going to HAVE to watch Hubie, don’t you...

The Babysitter 2017

very enjoyable movie, very funny death scenes

almost a ''horror take on home alone''

8.5

[LeatherTrumpet]

The Greatest SHowman

0/10

after 5 mins i left the TL to it and started reading my Book on the Nazis and did not stop till this utter guff had ended

pish

...Disappearance at Clifton Hill......I’m not sure if it was classed as a ‘horror’ or mystery thriller, I didn’t get any thriller from it but lots of mystery..it was a complete unknown cast to me and felt quite ‘low budget’ but that just added to it and to the depth of the story...it gave just the right ominous feel throughout, I thought..it really did give that fairground feel of ‘smoke and mirrors’...7/10...

[Ammi]

...Ready Player One......This was a second watch but a lovely palate cleanser after Clifton Hill...just great family fun etc...7/10...

[Mystic Mock]

Your Name - Not really my favourite type of Film but this Film is a lot better than I was expecting considering the west's versions of this type of story are things like Twilight. Unlike the west's efforts at this type of story Your Name actually has a plot that is a big component of the Film that also brings the Romance component into the main story and not invading what should be the main story of the Film (like what happens in things like The Hunger Games imo) the characters are likeable and interesting.

Overall it's quite a well made Film, the only thing that I'd knock personally is the ending but I won't spoil that for anyone that's interested in watching the Film. 8/10

Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020)

great sequel, also luv the sugarhill gang song ''jump on it'' in this too

overall very enjoyable 8.5

His House - 8/10

Spoiler:

I was expecting a horror which it kind of was but I think the witch and the ghosts weren't really real and it was a manifestation of the couples PTSD and guilt and trying to let go of that or learn to live with it and try to get on with their lives. I thought it was a very hard hitting and interesting way to approach the subject of refugees, what they dealt with in the past and the new challenges they face in a "safe" country. I also thought how they dealt with English people and how they interacted was probably quite accurate and captured the uncomfortable-ness very well

[Ammi]

...His House, also....I won’t say much about it, there were quite a few jumps....and it was very, very thought provoking ...I’ll say 9/10...not a film that I would say I enjoyed as such but one that was totally worth the watch...

[Niamh.]

I was thinking you would like it Ammi

I watched the double bill of Halloween I & II last night (the originals).

Always a treat, especially the first one. Still remains a horror classic. One of my faves!

8/10 for the pair. I is far, far better than II though - I feel like in II they focused too much on violence and “shock” whereas there was something more intriguing and somewhat “innocent” about the first.

It's great, isn't it?

Have you seen the new sequel from a couple of years ago? Also called "Halloween" - the beginning of a new, "ending" trilogy with Jamie Lee Curtis. It was very good.

The second instalment "Halloween Kills" should have been out this year but got pushed back due to the pandemic, so will be out next October.

The third and final movie will be called "Halloween Ends", out October 2022.

I like them all, but the first own is my favourite. Because the atmosphere is amazing. Watch it alone in the dark and its terrifying.

...Justine...Netflix really do have some wonderful gem movies and this is definitely one...it’s incredibly sad but incredibly touching as well../...the relationship between Justine and her carer, Lisa...and how they’re isolated within themselves for very different reasons but how they connect to breathe life into each other...Stephanie Turner and Daisy Prescott are perfectly cast as Lisa and Justine ....as is Glynn Turman as Papa Don......

....a really beautiful and touching 8.5/10...

...I had to think more in reflection as well before giving my thoughts.../...because it is such a complexity of layers, I think...

Spoiler:

...yeah I do think PTSD as well and guilt but I do think the spirits/ghosts seemed to be a cultural belief as well...’the spirits/ghosts follow us everywhere../...something similar, he said...and maybe those spirits/ghosts wouldn’t have been ‘threatening’, had there have been no guilt of it not being their daughter ...of that pretence to save themselves...And I just think that, that shows the complexities of ‘human’ as well...of how it can be complicated to define as ‘good and bad’ or good and evil, type thing...they obviously chose life over death because they knew they would have been killed and they were terrified...and obviously with asylum seekers, we think about that so much.../...things we could never imagine and the risks taken with their own lives, with the lives of others ...they were ‘the good ones’...that was being said because they were, they were good people ...but the spirits/ghosts were haunting them with a ‘bad’ that was obviously tearing them up...and we talk about that so much as well...’how could ‘good parents’ take these risks’, does that not make them ‘bad‘ in some way...I don’t think so because good and bad/good and evil, type thing can’t always apply in such a simplifies way as our own lifestyles would understand...it obviously had elements of horror as well with the jumps...probably one of the most layered stories I’ve seen...and something that’s difficult to shake off from thoughts...

Spoiler:

Above all else what I liked about this film is how it humanised a topic that often seems very dehumanised. I hope a lot of people will watch it

[Ammi]

...Elvis And Anabelle....I guess, an alternate Sleeping Beauty that felt a little dark and even a little whimsical in places...the two lead actors lifted it into something quite lovely and such a touching watch...7.5/10.......
