The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It (2007)

My rating: 7/10

I mean, it's pretty much what you'd expect from something with R.L. Stine's name on it - there's kids having kid drama, there's some creepy dude with a magical store, there's an Evil Thing that needs defeating - with the advantage of actually featuring some pretty solid child actors, which is not a given. I quite enjoyed this.

Fair warning though: There's bugs, and the Mean Girl (TM) says the R slur at one point because 2007.

You can easily tell that everybody is trying their hardest to portray these characters. Some of them came across as real-life people while others just felt like characters in a movie. This could mainly be pointed to the writing in this film. Some of the lines in this film were just hilariously bad and cringy and I would give examples but I already forgot them. But I do have to say the scenery was stunning and the production on this was well done. Each set and costume looked perfect for each scene. The costumes fit each character and showed a bit more into their personality. For example, Richard’s outfits made him look like royalty but at the same time, a normal guy because that’s what he wants to be. This film had lots of pacing issues. From beginning to end it didn’t feel like that was the speed it should be going at. The beginning felt slow while the ending felt to fast. The creators of the film might have thought they had a longer film and then realized they only had a one hour and thirty-two-minute film so they had to quickly resolve the film. The last thing I want to talk about is the relationship in this film. It’s not believable or relatable. I know it shouldn’t be relatable seeing how it is about a journalist falling in love with a prince but the writers still should make it so some people can relate to at least one of them. And it isn’t believable because it seems too rushed. Throughout the entire film, they are hardly around each other and then all of a sudden he just loves her. There is no explanation why just little subtle hints. In the end, A Christmas Prince is perfect for people who like RomComs but for others not so much. I give A Christmas Prince a 6/10. Kamurai: Decent watch, probably won’t watch again, but can recommend. While it isn’t anything truly special, it’s a decent version of a “journalist in disguise falls in love” trope. Though the object of affection being a prince allows for resources that almost anyone wouldn’t turn down. There certainly is a lot of production put into the movie to maintain the grand perception of royals, but the best part of the movie is the heart felt Christmas vibe of it. Unfortunately, this is mostly achieved through the secondary characters and them influencing the royal family.

The Haunting Hour: Don’t Think About It

“The Haunting Hour: Don’t Think About It” is a movie I haven’t thought about in a long time and probably still won’t after rewatching it.

Cassie Keller is the new girl at school and she loves pranking her little brother, Max. While Cassie embraces all things horror due to her goth attitude, Max rejects them due to his scaredy-cat nature. One day, Cassie finds a Halloween store and buys a mysterious book. Ignoring the ‘Do Not Read Aloud’ warning on the first page, Cassie reads it to Max in an attempt to scare him. Without realizing it, Cassie has just unleashed a beast called, The Evil Thing.

I’ll admit it. I thought this was the scariest movie when I was in elementary school. It would play every Halloween on Cartoon Network and I would watch it due to morbid curiosity. Now that I’ve rewatched it, I have a couple of things to say about it. First, I didn’t realize it wasn’t a Goosebumps movie until today. It has the same feel and author as Goosebumps, but I guess “The Haunting Hour” is a series by R.L. Stine aimed at a pre-teen audience. Second, this movie is obviously bad. It’s literally a made-for-television movie. I wasn’t expecting much going into this film. I just wanted a nostalgia trip. However, this film actually surprised me. It’s so bad that it’s good. Sure, Max’s heart is probably going to give out due to shock after this movie. Sure, Priscilla is borderline psychotic. Sure, Sean is a living, breathing himbo. Sure, Cassie shops at Hot Topic a little too much. The point is, this film is ironically funny. They crack jokes and none of them land, but when it’s not trying to be funny, it’s hilarious. Every song is some early 2000′s pseudo alternative song made safe for kids and it’s so bad that it had me rolling. There’s even a montage of Cassie walking with way too many cuts and fades trying to give the scene an ‘edgy’ look. There’s like one token black kid in this entire movie and he’s only in it for the first half of the movie. His only purpose was to give a shock pen to Sean and then he promptly exited from the movie, but hey, at least he was the best friend to Sean which means he had an important role, right? I will give credit to this film for its practical effects. The monster looked great and you could tell that’s where all the money for this movie went. I haven’t looked into it, but I genuinely think Emily Osment only did this movie so she could promote a song that she sang and try to break into the music scene. Unfortunately, I think she ended with a net loss. I think I could recommend this movie ironically. I’m sure some of my friends saw this when they were younger as well and I’m thinking about watching this again with them so we could crack jokes and laugh at how bad this film was. That’s the only entertainment value I could get from this movie.

Woody Woodpecker (2017) — I went through this entire movie wanting to smash Woody with a hammer. at first, I thought it was just because I wanted to be on Lance’s side (he’s played by Timothy Omundson after all), but then I realised: Woody is incredibly fucking obnoxious and I want to hit him. it’s not funny, it has none of the characters from the original except Woody, and he’s easily the worst part of this entire movie. maybe I’m being too harsh on this, considering it’s a kids movie, but Woody really isn’t likeable throughout this entire movie. the editing sucks, the acting is even worse. don’t even get me started on the fact that the budget given to this shithole was way too high. if you’re looking for a movie to watch with the kids, avoid this one. you and the kids deserve much better.

plot — the hyperactive red-headed bird enters a turf war with a big city lawyer wanting to tear down his home in an effort to build a house to flip.

main cast — Timothy Omundson, Eric Bauza, Thaila Ayala, Graham Verchere, Jordana Largy.
