Hubie Halloween (2020)
Enjoyable and Entertaining, but Adam Sandler's stupid voice/face ruined it.
A great cast of characters, funny moments, and an overall entertaining Halloween movie, but Adam Sandler's forced dumb-guy act/voice basically took a dump on the entire thing. He made an otherwise good movie really hard to watch.
Bad Girl (2016)
All over the place, with an unlikable main character
Since I liked a lot of Samara Weaving's other stuff, I rented "Bad Girl".
The movie was kinda so-so, but the thing that killed it for me was Sara West's character, Amy, was genuinely unlikable. I really didn't feel any empathy or sympathy for her.
Part of the problem was there was no context to why anyone was the way they were. Worse, there was little explanation of the family unit, and you're trying to piece it together on top of figuring out the motives.
Why did they move? Because of a crazy house party? WHAT?!?!
Why is mom so dead set on making this work?
Why is dad so suspicious of Chloe's motives?
Other than "rebel teen", what is the reason the main character is such a horrible person?
Then there was the attraction component that was all over the place. They could have made a real connection between the two, which would have made for a great realization/rejection moment, but again... nothing with meat to it.
Samara plays a good nutcase (well, she's adorable, too) so that kept me watching, but lack of depth to the story and the unlikable Amy killed it for me.
Was going to give it a 4 out of 10 but after typing this, I dropped it to 3.
If you're looking for Samara Weaving stuff, there's much better movies out there.
If you're looking for an LGBTQ story, "Kiss me, Guido" is infinitely better than this.
If you were looking for something barely mediocre that could have been decent, this is your movie.
The Outpost (2018)
Exactly what I want from a fantasy TV show
Campy, trope-y, fantasy adventure with a strong female protagonist and a fun chunk of adventure in each episode. There are good guys to empathize with, bad folks to loathe,Captain "Prince Charming" Spears", the loyal guardsman, the opportunist Elinor, and every other expected character.
It's a fun escape for when I just want to get away from the politics, pandemics, and problems that make up the rest of the day.
