MS's Top Ten Halloween Movies

These are not in any kind of order.

1. Teen Witch - 80's montages don't get any better then this!

2. Harry Potter (all) - You can't have Halloween without the most famous young wizard of all time.

3. The Exorcist - Split pea soup anyone?

4. Hocus Pocus - Disney did Halloween right with this movie!!

5. The Omen - Nothing is creepier then demonic children!

6. The Shining - All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. This movie also has the creepiest score of all time!!

7. Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte - Black and white. Sometimes it is funny to see what was scary to people a long time ago. (other totally old black, white and scary movies that rock: Freaks, Psycho, The Birds)

8. The Worst Witch (198something) - An awesome movie I remember being on every Halloween growing up. No one seems to remember it but me, but it was awesome!!

9. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Don't worry if you have never seen the show. This movie is so weird and creepy, you won't understand anything that's going on anyway (except that you are going to have nightmares after watching it!)

10. The Ring - "Seven Days!!" ....of nightmares and unplugging your tv before you go to sleep!!!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Poem Monday: A Boring Poem from a Girl from GB

Boring, Boring
I am so bored
Boring, Boring
If I was milk, I would be curds

Why, oh why isn’t there anything to do
My tooth kinda hurts,
So gum I can’t even chew

Boring, Boring
You know that it is harsh
When I am actually looking forward
To doing a load of “warsh”!!

Movie Review: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist starring Michael Cera (Nick) and Kat Dennings (Norah) is a hilarious blend of funny and cute that has a little something for everyone.

The Good Stuff:
1. The Cast - The movie was composed of mostly new faces with the exception of Michael Cera (Juno, Superbad), who, even though he is not a teen pretty-boy, seems to manage to get his "groove" on hardcore in every movie he’s in! It is nice to finally see the nice guy getting the girl (or girls in his case). You go Nick!!

2. The Story - The story was fun and the plot had a nice flow. I found myself constantly laughing throughout the movie and didn't seem to ever get bored. Even though the movie was an obvious teen love story, it didn't have that movie-of-the-week sappy feeling that often makes me want to heave massive chucks. The movie used parallel plots that seemed to meet up in all the right places (i) Nick and Norah (funny and cute) and (ii) Norah's lost, drunken friend Carolina (raunchy and entertaining).

The Bad Stuff:
1. The Creepy Dance - There is a scene where the movie's mean girl, Tris (Alexis Dziena) does a "sexy" dance. This totally creeped me out. She looked like a Bratz doll in dire need of sandwich (preferably something really fattening like the Wendy's Baconator). A girl with looks like hers is on the fast track towards becoming a regular cast member of the new 90210. EAT SOMETHING!!

2. Where's Fluffy - Throughout most of the movie the group of kids are in search of a band who is rumored to be performing called "Where's Fluffy"...so Where the eff was Fluffy!!!

Max Payne Review

Max Payne, starring Mark Walberg and Mila Kunis was nothing more then a predictable, mindless action movie.

The Good Stuff:
1. The acting. Mila Kunis did an unexpectedly great job playing a Russian mob boss. Little Jackie from That 70's Show was the only character in the movie that did not get on my nerves hard core. Also, it was good to see Chris O'Donnell in a movie again, even though his character was a weepy lame-ass.

The Bad Stuff:
1. The Plot. The plot was.....MISSING. I don't know. Maybe it's because I never played the game or something, but, Wow. It seemed like the movie was made and then someone went through and cut out all the scenes that would help to make sense of what the hell was going on. I mean were the angel things flying around killing people a hallucination because of the drug or what? In the end though, I just really didn't care. The only plot line that did make any sense (Who killed his wife?), I had figured out within the first 20 minutes of the movie. Lame much!!

2. Special Effects - The action sequences and special effects were "okay". It was sort of The Punisher meets Constantine, though I would say both of those movies were WAY better then this one.

Weird Stuff from today's DC Trip













I went to DC today with my friends. We had a great time. Touring DC is always fun, especially since I almost never go there (because it's sort of scary). Here are some pictures of some of the many super creepy things I saw during the day.

CREEPTASTIC ALERT!!!

Renn Fest Living Gargoyle!
Wow - This is the creepiest thing I have ever seen at the Renn Fest!! EVER!!

Fall 2008 New TV Shows

Thoughts on this Falls TV Pilots:

1. True Blood (HBO) - Totally RULES!! Hot vampire action!! Need I say more! My favorite of the season!!

2. The Mentalist - Very Good. Suspenseful and interesting. Lacking hotties but worth watching.

3. Valentine - Good. Think Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Clash of the Titans. It is cute but I doubt it will be able to hold its own. I doubt it will be granted a full season.

4. The Eleventh Hour - Sucks...HARD. This show was the worst piece of crap I have seen so far this year. The plot = unbelievable (and if I can get onto the plots of shows like Angel and Fringe, this is saying something!). The acting = horrible!! The writers of this show should have stayed on strike!!! Two words: UMMM....WOW....

5. Fringe - Good. I love JJ Abrams. He is a genius. Plus, Joshua Jackson...YUM. This show got off to a rocky start. The pilot episode was hard to follow. I was watching it and thinking, "Wow, am I smart enough to watch this show." But as the episodes progress it seems to be getting into a groove.

Welcome to my Blog!!

MS here!! First I want to say thanks to my friends Will and Ano for getting me started with this blog.

My main purpose here is to review things like TV shows, movies, games, and whatnot. I will also be talking about the many things that I find creepy (like bugs, birds and various creatures) and writing some short stories and poems.

Enjoy!
