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.

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 it entirely fit its surroundings and didn’t

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.   The story needs to move forward.   Will this episode d

A Short Description of how Baby's Day Out (1994) is a Live Action Cartoon

Animated movies have been a large fixture throughout cinematic history.   There is currently an Academy Award category devoted entirely to animated features.   They are an important part of the cinematic landscape.   Movies would be completely different if not for the animated films that have been popular throughout the past century. Children have always been a large part of the popularity of cartoons.   This has not been solely a movie based genre.   Television also thrives on animated shows.   As a child, I can remember watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.   In the children’s cartoons, characters could be forced into dangerous predicaments, get injured or nearly killed, and continue on with their lives as if nothing ever happened to them.   This was the way of cartoons such as Looney Toons , where Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam would always suffer great physical trauma, then return to their normal selves in the next scene. This is probably
