Seed of Chucky, a review by Rich

Title: Seed of Chucky

Movie Count:27 
TV Ep. Count:16 

Runtime:87
Certificate:NR
Year:2004
Genres:Horror, Action, Comedy

Plot:In this outrageous, unrated and fully extended version of Seed of Chucky, everyone's favorite killer doll returns – and he's bringing the entire family!  This time around, Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) and his homicidal honey, Tiffany, are brought back to life by their orphan offspring, Glen.  Then, the horror goes Hollywood as Chucky unleashes his own brand of murderous mayhem!  Featuring Academy Award® nominee* Jennifer Tilly (as herself and the voice of Tiffany) and hip-hop star Redman, it's more gore, more gags, and much more Chucky doing his dirtiest deeds yet!

My Review:
Hilarious horror parody, Tilly is great value as nutty Thunderbirds go mad. It is a ridiculous farce, but it knows it, and plays on it, so the franchise has been driven from weak horror to fairly good comedy.
The introduction of the asexual 'seed' opens up new plot routes, and several scenes were truly gut-wretchingly funny and would make you think twice for a variety of bizarre reasons about having a wooden doll in your bedroom.
Buy this for a laugh, not for a scare.

Wunderland, a review by Antares

Wunderland (2018) 5/100, Hurricane (2018) 60/100 - YouTube tossed a pair of war films at me last night from 2018. I'm not going to say much about them, but I would like to say this...Films about World War II are no longer necessary! Everything that has needed to be put on film concerning that war has already been done and directors and screenwriters who are the grandchildren of those who fought in it are not qualified to give those events an honest rendering. The former film is so poorly written, acted & directed, it boggles the mind that someone put up the amount of money necessary to make it. Historical inaccuracies at every turn and some mind numbing wokeness thrown in to make it a complete shit sandwich. The latter film really makes me long for the hallowed war film days of Tora! Tora! Tora! or The Battle of Britain. You know, when they used ACTUAL airplanes from the era to create the flight sequences. CGI air battles are comical and defy all the laws of physics. A better story for this film and Stefanie Martini doing her best imitation of a fully clothed Kate Winslet.

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom

5.05 No Place Like Home
Writer: Douglas Petrie (Writer)
Director: David Solomon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Marc Blucas (Riley Finn), Emma Caulfield (Anya Jenkins), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn Summers), James Marsters (Spike), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Clare Kramer (Glory), Charlie Weber (Ben), Ravil Isyanov (Monk), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), James Wellington (Nightwatchman), Paul Hayes (Older Nightwatchman), Staci Lawrence (Customer), John Sarkisian (Old Monk)

In this episode Buffy learns about Dawn's true nature. I enjoyed this episode. I also like that Giles and Buffy are growing closer again and he is a confidante for Buffy. I never really liked his storyline in season four where he is pushed out of the group and he felt useless.

Rating:



5.06 Family
Writer: Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: Joss Whedon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Marc Blucas (Riley Finn), Emma Caulfield (Anya Jenkins), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn Summers), James Marsters (Spike), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Mercedes McNab (Harmony Kendall), Clare Kramer (Glory), Charlie Weber (Ben), Amy Adams (Beth Maclay), Steve Rankin (Mr. Maclay), Amber Benson (Tara), Ezra Buzzington (Bartender), Peggy Goss (Crazy Person), Torry Pendergrass (Damon), Megan Gray (Sandy), Brian Tee (Intern), Kevin Rankin (Donny)

A nice Tara episode. Amy Adams has a small role as Tara's cousin. I love how they welcome Tara in their little Scooby family at the end.

Rating:



5.07 Fool For Love

A great episode. I always love flashback episodes. It's funny to see Spike before he was turned into a vampire.
And also the end is one of the most touching scenes in the series.
