So, I have to agree with many others by mentioning that it started off much better than it ended. For starters, the fact that everyone slept on the ground one night with not even a chill and the next night Jackie just froze to death? Or the fact that a leg amputation with no antibiotics or surgery just magically healed properly with no infection? Or the stranded plane just coincidently had no big trees in front of it for it to gain speed. And what exactly caught on fire, the teddy bear? And why the hell is Tai eating dirt when she sleep walks? Does she even remember killing the dog? The whole spirit or wtv it's suppose to be was overly vague, like I understand suspense but this was just annoying. How about Shauna's husband that does not seem bothered one bit by her journals or that she murdered someone and disposed of a body. Misty, obviously is a total sociopath and I still don't get why the coach or everyone else take it so lightly that she keeps poisoning people. Or the reporter that can clearly see that she's crazy, injecting chocolates with drugs that could kill her father and is still stupid enough to smoke cigarettes or even drive a car that were in the hands of the nut job keeping her hostage.

Anyhow, all in all it's got me hooked, interesting story, I just hope it won't drag along for too many seasons like LOST.

So I recently watched "the movie that made us", "Halloween" episode. Reminded me of when I watched the Halloween movies with my friends at sleepovers and with my big brother. So I decided to watch the 2018 movie the other night and thought it was pretty good, so I went and saw this movie tonight with my bother, and oh my was it terrible. I don't like horror film but enjoy the thrill of the classic Halloween films. This had no thrill whatsoever, just complete stupidity to the point of being ridiculously and awkwardly funny. All the characters make the most idiotic decisions as if they've gone brain dead. It was just overly gory and felt it did not respect the character or basis of the "Halloween" 1978 idea, which is thrill, suspense, heart racing, holding your breath while you wonder where Michael Myers will come out from next. Don't waste your money or your time. Guess what, everyone dies except for Lori and the cop, the end.

I've been binge watching this all week, 15 years after I've last watched this show and it is exactly as I remember it. Intellectually over the top dialogue for a bunch of teens, but I think it's what makes it still interesting to watch now in my thirties. Many of the subjects are well approached and ahead of their time. However, I do think they overly tortured some relationships and the whole Joey Dawson thing was absolutely annoying. Thankfully they had Joey and Pacey end up together even if they split them up in such a horrendous manner. But, the show became a whole lot less interesting when they went off to college and from beginning to end, Dawson was always intolerable.

I remember all the shows lined up on the WB when I was a teen all being quite mature and blurring my reality of what I should expect from high school, considering all the actors were at least in there 20's, thus creating unrealistic expectations.

I admit that I have binged watch the entire show at least 2 or 3 times, however, it should have ended a good 3 seasons ago at least. I feel like they don't know what to do with the show anymore, besides killing people off or having them move away. Since Mc Dreamy died, Meredith lost her flavour. Alex's exit was the last straw, especially the way he hurt Jo so terribly after renewing their vows (even if it was to be with his kids and fist love). Everything in between had some good but also too much drama just butchering everyone's relationships, like Arizona and Callie, how could you destroy a couple so many different ways?! Seriously! Teddy was good the first time around, but is now unbearable and Owen is as always intolerable. A good show needs to know when to call it quits, not leaving people hoping for it to end.

So, I have to agree with many that it could have been much shorter. It was stretched out over 8 episodes with all of these flashbacks and the mysterious woman in white that was never really dealt with. Clearly, Amma was a psychopath from the beginning, at no moment do we believe it's the brother or father of the victims. She was jealous of the attention her mom was giving to the other girls. Camille's parents are also messed up, and even if they did not kill the other girls, they clearly poisoned their daughters and ended up killing one. The suggest a man would have had to pull the teeth out, yet they never arrest Camille and Amma's dad when the mom is obviously not strong enough. Would have been nice to understand the blood under the bed as well. The acting was good, the soundtrack and the visuals.

Ok, so I am only half way through but how is it no one discovered the vehicle after 20 days? In such a high tech facility, no cameras seeing 2 dudes carry around dead bodies? Family and friends will just magically forget about Zoe? Missing so many details to make this a credible film. Yes it's sci-fi, but I would expect good writers to think of the small details to make it believable.

The film as a whole was interesting, even if it was somewhat predictable. However, the plot makes no sense. Why would he leave his daughter's biological father and wife's captured rapist to his daughter as inheritance without any explanation?

I remembered this movie being much funnier, however, it did not age well. I want to say It's because of the stupid immature male humour, yet I still enjoy the classic American pie films. There is no chemistry at all between the leader characters to pass as a couple. Would have worked if they stayed friends.
