it's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

     It's that time of year again! I do believe that October thru December, is the time of year for Charlie Brown. This half-hour long TV special is about the character, Linus. Every year he goes to the local pumpkin patch, because he believes that The Great Pumpkin will come, and leave things like presents for the Children. Meanwhile, Everyone else (Including Charlie Brown) thinks he's just crazy, And they go ahead and celebrate Halloween like any other person. Do you guys remember watching this special on TV when you were younger? 'Cause I do. I remember watching it every Halloween on ABC when I was growing up. Parents, I think you should show this Classic TV special to your little ones! I think they'll love it!

Ghostbusters 2016

Release Date: July 15. 2016
Director: Paul Feig
Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon

    Following a ghost invasion of Manhattan, Two paranormal enthusiasts, a nuclear engineer, and a subway worker band together to stop the apocalypse. This film, is not a bad film. Parents, I think it'll be okay for kids over the age of say, ten. You may want to check the Parents Guide on IMDB, before showing it to your kids.

The Ring

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 55 minutes
Release Date: October 18, 2002

Starring: Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson


     This intense PG-13 horror flick, is about a mysterious VHS tape that kills it's viewers after one week of viewing it. A reporter (Watts) watches it, and unravels the mystery behind it before her time is up. Parents, I wouldn't recommend this film to younger kids because it has some disturbing, and frightening images. Although I do like the film, but like I said: do not show this film, to your young ones.

The Addams Family 1991

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 39 minutes

Starring: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia

      This 1991 Live-Action Adaptation of the Charles Addams Cartoon series, is about a group of con artists who send an accomplice to live with the eccentric Addams family, who claims to be their long-lost uncle fester. Parents, I think it's an ok movie but, if your want to introduce your little ones to the Addams family, I recommend that you take them to see the new animated Addams family film. It's probably better than this one.


Final Grade:

     This horror flick is about a teen girl named Claire (King), who discovers a magical box capable of granting seven wishes. What she doesn't know is that, everytime a wish is granted, there are evil consequences.

    I don't know if I enjoyed this film or not, but it does have some intense moments. So parents, this is another film that you probably don't want your little ones to be exposed to. So please, keep them away from it at all costs! Ban it (and any other scary movie) from your home if you have to!

The Intruder

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: May 3, 2019
Runtime: 1 hour 42 minutes
Director: Deon Taylor
Starring: Michael Ealy, Meagan Good, Dennis Quaid

     This suspenseful horror flick is about a young couple who buys a beautiful house, only to find it's previous owner refuses to let go of the property. This has got to be the most lamest, most HORRORible horror movie I've ever seen. Only the ending is scary, the rest is not, and it is a film that you should definitely skip! Trust me, movies like Poltergeist, The Ring, and A Quiet Place are better.

Final Grade:
F

Flatliners

Slender Man

Rated: PG-13

Release Date: August 10, 2018

Runtime: 1 hour 33 minutes

Director: Sylvain White

Starring: Joey King, Julia Goldani Teiles, Jaz Sinclair

     I reviewed this movie over a year ago, when it was in theaters. It's about the popular creepy online meme, Slender Man. And In this cinematic thriller, Four friends in a small town in Massachusetts, summon him in order to try to prove that he doesn't exist. Until, one of those friends mysteriously disappears.

    I can remember back when this movie first came out, People were trashing it like crazy! People said it was boring, not scary, etc. I disagree. Like I said in my first review, this is a very intense flick! Especially toward the ending! Parents, I still recommend that you keep your little ones away from this movie! It'll probably give them nightmares.

Final Grade:
C
