Reviews
Dealt (2017)
Wow. Amazing doc about an amazing life and human potential
The trailer was good and I enjoy magic, but the full documentary really impressed me. It shows an inspirational life of ups and downs that anyone can learn from. Great at showing how a person's life and talent is built by dedication, love, and the support of those people they're connected to. I work in making documentaries and this definitely deserves to be seen by more people, which is why I'm writing this review when I normally never do. My mom really liked it too. Watch this movie and help get it in front of people who may be struggling in life or facing setbacks. Everyone faces the definite possibility that a health problem or accident might seriously impact their lives - just a matter of luck & time. Turner's life story and the moments and messages captured in this doc are one's I will not forget.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Why did I pay money to see that?
Don't bother watching it. Just imagine some cool things you'd like to see in a big finale of The Shape on Halloween night. Think of the spooky cinematography of the first movie. It'll be better than this. I enjoyed the first two in Green's trilogy, but this is a stretch to say it was okay. 4/10 is generous. I was on board for the first 30 min, then it was all about this new character, Corey. It's Corey's story, The Shape and Strode take the backseat. The Shape went from invincible against a group of people in H Kills to easily overpowered in Ends. Minor spoiler early on that Strode (Curtis) has given up having a house with traps and weapons where she can easily defend herself, now living a mostly normal life in an average home in Haddonfield. The fact that she was so skilled and equipped was awesome, and this movie just dropped it for an underwhelming end. The best way to fix this movie is if The Shape killed Corey the second he came face to face with him, then hunted down the strong Strodes on Halloween night but kept eluding capture. The fact that Corey was spared by The Shape doesn't make sense and didn't lead to an interesting other story. Maybe 10 min of the action was fun. Characters made odd choices. There was maybe 50 people in the 250 seat theatre, and at maybe a few points in the movie was there a reaction. Very few scenes with Halloween vibes in making the action feel like it was happening on the holiday. Weak end to the trilogy. Why did they greenlight this weak story into production when there are so many fun, creepy, halloween-y slasher ways the Strodes and neighbours could have come together to trap and end The Shape for good? In horror movies, I'm usually giving out 6+, 5 and 4 rarely, and I'm struggling not to knock my rating of Ends to 3. Missed opportunity for the series.
