10/19/2020 0 Comments The Haunted Mansion Do you want to find a fun and different Halloween movie for kids or even adults?!! Well, we all know that halloween is coming up and one good halloween movie is The Haunted Mansion. It is a PG Disney family friendly movie directed by Rob Minkoff in 2003 starring Eddie Murphy. The film is based on the attraction/ride that also came out in 2003, the movie is about a workaholic named Jim Evers, who is a real estate agent that has barely any time for his wife, teenage daughter, and his son who has arachnophobia (an intense and irrational fear of spiders.). After missing his own anniversary because of a business deal, he promises to take the family for a weekend at the lake. Of course, with Jim it never goes that way. For business they went inside the haunted mansion castle and met Master Edward Gracey, and his stern, all business, butler Ramsley and more characters on their adventure throughout the mansion. It rained throughout the night and Master Gracey invited them to stay for the night. When Jim gets trapped in a secret passageway in the library, Jim’s two kids encounter a “Ghost Ball” . On top of all that Master Gracey is feeling emotions for Sara (Jim’s wife), who he thinks is his true love “Elizabeth” from long ago. This movie has a good meaning to it, has fear involved, and laughable moments. The movie has won awards such as, Young Artists Award. Using the popular ride as inspiration really creates a ‘horror-comedy’ in the movie and shows what can happen when people and ghosts collide. I rate this movie a 5 out of 5, it’s awesome!

10/19/2020 0 Comments Avatar: The Last AirbenderThis is a review on Avatar: The Last Airbender and why I think it's an amazing show. It came out in the year 2005 on Nickelodeon and aired until 2008. I first found out about it from my friend who was watching this year and he said it was a really good show so I decided to try it one night. During quarantine I binge watched the entire series. Now I am enjoying re-watching the series with my mom, who also finds the show fun to watch. The show is based in an asiatic (Asian related) world where there are four elements: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Some people who are gifted can bend these elements. There is a leader of the world, the “Avatar”, who can bend all of the elements. The Avatar is supposed to keep the world in peace and is a bridge from the physical world and the spiritual world. The protagonist Aang, the current Avatar, is a 12 year old boy and the last airbender in the world. Aang and his friends, Sokka and Katara and others strive to end the Fire Nation’s war against the other nations of the world. My favorite character is General Iroh. He is a really amazing, wise, smart and tea loving guy. I would rate this show a 5 out of 5! You can still watch this show on Netflix. |
