Movie Guru Corey

    Happy Halloween to you all! Today we have been privileged with the second episode.  With the deaths of the children at the end of the premiere, where do you go? Obviously, the town wants answers. With Lilly being the only real witness all eyes are on her. The town thinks its the owner of the theater, Hank . How do they get there man? Squeeze the witness. While all of is going on, we get introduced to the the rest of the Hanlon family . Leroy came into series on the previous episode as our eyes into the Derry military base . The unit of Leroy, Charlotte , and Will .  I was unsure how this would go after the first episode. I was not sure i could get past what seemed like another Losers Club ... than they all die.  There is another ending that changes everything that you think about when it comes to it. I won't spoil but very interesting. It will get me to come back 

  Being 36 years old I never had the pleasure of seeing this film in the theater. That all changed tonight.  I think that the point of this post will be to appreciate this movie.  Michael J fox was becoming more, and more of a household name thanks to Family Ties. This got him the movie "Teen Wolf". Down the street from  "Teen Wolf" they were shooting the film "Back to Future". Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty, but they felt like he was not hitting the comedic bits. After five weeks of filming, he was fired. Who do they get to replace him? The thought was Michael J Fox. The problem was NBC was unwilling to share. There was a lot of back and forth, until it was agreed upon that he would shoot Family Ties during the day and back to the future all night. There is much to love about this movie. This is a movie that runs on so much charm. For the movie to work you needed a strong chemistry between Marty and Doc Brown. Chris Lloyd and Fox having such a c...

The long awaited return of Sydney Prescott is around the corner! Today we got a trailer gor the highly anticipated SCREAM 7.  Where will it go is anyone's guess. The film drops February 27th! Who's ready?

     Here is your warning this will spoil the end of episode 1. The end of the episode has the gangback at the theater looking for answers to their friend's dissaperance. They believe there are clues to it in the film "Music Man".  Lone behold, Matty, the missing kid was there. Or what they thought was. The bat from the beginning comes out of the screen. Susie,Terry and Phil are killed.    This is a huge example of "the rug pull". I will argue something like this was needed for this episode. From the begging it felt like this was going to be more of the same with a different "Losers Club", not the case. With their deaths, it shows where this show is willing to go. This is why my grade for the show was what it was.

      Time to dust of the old critic hat. A flash back to 2017 here for a few. I had not read the book or seen the miniseries. Needless to say, what we got was top quality horror. 2019 came around, the adult version came out, it wasn't as good. When it was all done Warner Brothers ended up with 1.023 billion. for those that do not know, that is a hell of a lot for two horror films. So.... how do you maximize your profits?     There is a lot that goes on in this first episode, so well see how this goes. in typical "It" fashion we do start out with the disappearance of a kid.  When Lilly hears him in the drains one night, her and a group of schoolmates decide it is time to find out what happened.     Like the movie, the characters  are mostly kids. The film found a way for the Losers club to be likeable. Thinking logically, this is a tv show, there is a lot of room for change, but the kids are very unlikeable. The bullying in this episode is ta...

A little late in the week, but here we go. Weapons tells the story of a town that loses 17 children at the same time, 2:17 am. Where did they go? Who took them? The film is written and directed by Zach Cregger, the man behind "Barbarian".  "Weapons" hits theaters August 8.
