I was not a big fan of the original Beetlejuice, although it did have the charm that was expected from Tim Burton movies at the time, like Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, both of which are movies I've rated very highly.

The thing is, Chucky landing and rolling on the floor seemed completely believable if it were a puppet, so it was surprising to see him smoothly stand up, so much so that I had to pause the movie to make sure they hadn't made a cut in the middle of the shot to switch the puppet with the actor.

The beginning of the movie is frontloaded with a corny movie trailer voiceover guy narrating the events of Jack's life before the start of the show.

I obviously give zero shits about the religious angles of this movie and that probably doesn't help my opinion, especially knowing that the director has gone on to make a clown of himself, asserting that exorcisms are real, but even setting that aside, there's a lot of little issues with this movie,...

The story mostly works on it's own, but at least in the first third of the movie it does like to dwell on the characters and events of the previous movie just enough that you'd be missing some details if you hadn't seen it the first time.

*SPOILERS* It's been several years since I've seen Spirited Away, I remember it being a solid movie, but I've always been of the opinion that Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was my favorite Studio Ghibli movie, despite the fact that it is often excluded from Ghibli's catalog of movies since it wa...

I seriously thought this was going to be the sort of movie that actually hid Godzilla for much of it, that sort of horror principle that was actually honored in the TriStar Godzilla movie that everyone hates, but no, we pretty much immediately get derpy awful practical effects right out of the gate ...

The last movie I saw in theaters was a Toho Godzilla movie, and now there's a Legendary Godzilla in theaters.

Yet somehow this movie gets some of the most ungodly ****ing praise, just like The Big Lebowski, and I'm just here have spent over 2 hours on something I'd have had a better time spending on literally anything else on my movie shelf.
