My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live TV Series

The Walking Dead is the franchise that just will never ever die despite the main series having ended a few short years ago. Every so often the franchise comes back either with a new video game or in this case a new spin off as the latest attempt to cash in and build upon the world of The Walking Dead has finally premiered and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that started life as a series of Walking Dead Rick Grimes movies with the show in question being called simply just "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is nine years after rescued by an army helicopter Rick Grimes tries to escape from the organisation that saved enslaved him and others like him in order to reunite with his family. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this episodes plot wasn't all that good either as it doesn't give you a good idea of what the plot of the show will be about with this episodes plot not really being helped by the fact that best way to describe this episodes plot is really thin at best as that's exactly what it is with it being so thin infact that it's hard too tell what the plot of the episode even is with this episodes plot not really being all that entertaining and not really being all that engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is the shows co-creator and executive producer Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes and the shows co-creator and executive producer Danai Gurira as Michonne Grimes. Also starring in this episodes is Lost star Terry O'Quinn as Beale , Craig Tate as Donald Okafor , Lesley-Ann Brandt as Pearl Thorne , Frankie Quinones as Esteban Garcia , Alexis Rae Forlenza as Little Girl , Karma Jenkins as Hannah and Les Trent as Anchor.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With both Andrew and Danai turning in some really solid performances in this episode which really isn't all that new as they both a pair of really talented actors who both know how to turn in a good performance and given that both of them have been playing there respective characters for years at this point they would of course would know what kind of performance to give there respective characters in any given scene but what really does let the overall quality of the acting down is the episodes script which is just so bad as it gives none of the episodes much to work interms of what it is that there respective characters personality is even meant to be in the first place and that is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting.

For once it's actually hard to tell who did this episodes CGI as there's no effects company listed anywhere on IMDB. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about rhe actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this episodes CGI wasn't all that good either as it looked incredibly dated and incredibly cheap looking as well with it being painfully obvious when there using a CGI effect which is inline with the rest of the The Walking Dead but it's still a huge issue as CGI should be hard to pick out and yet when it's being made painfully obvious that what your looking as  CGI effect that it's a bad sign for the rest of not only this episodes CGI but the series CGI as well as a hole.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Even tho the whole point of this show is to show Rick and Michonne trying to meet each other again after almost ten years apart. This episode has them meet up at the end of the first episode as such there's no reason to watch the rest of the show as the whole reason for the show existing is resolved by the end of the first episodes while the whole point of this show is tell a love story set in the world of The Walking Dead the makers of this show failed to realise that you could still do that without having both of the lovers in question meeting up again as the two have spent years together thanks to being on The Walking Dead as such having them meet up at the end of this episode makes no sense as well as robbing us the audience of a reason to watch the rest of the show as the show now gives us no reason to watch the rest of the show.

For those of you who don't know this show was originally meant to be a series of three movies all of which were going to be released theatrically. This show in all honesty would have worked best as a trilogy of movies as it would have allowed for more character development that you just wouldn't be able to get in a six episode series and heck with a trilogy of movies the whole world of The Walking Dead could be opened up to include things that couldn't be included in the show due to whatever reasons and yet by making it into a TV show the franchise remains where it's most comfortable telling the same kinds of stories from the same writer all of which do more harm not only to this episode but to the show as a whole as the show is only six episodes long and yet just based of off this one episode there's no hint of what the plot of the show could have been where as Rick trying to meet up with Michonne again could have been the plot of the show if it wasn't ruined by having them meet up again at the end of the first episode.

The new characters in this show do have some potential to be fun characters but none of them are really given a chance to shine. Which is understandable as this is only the first episode but when your show is six episodes long you have to give them a chance to shine pretty much in episode one and while these new characters do seem like there likable with one of them even willing to try and help Rick escape at one point it ends up being for nothing as were not being given a reason to care for the new characters which again is something that does make sense as this is only episode one of the show again due to the episodes shorter episode order this is something that is going to hurt the show in the long run as now we the audience have no reason to care for these characters and no reason to want to see any more of there new characters which is made even more worse when the far more interesting returning characters are on screen.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty eight seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show but as this episode has not alot of plot to cover that large amount of running time as alot of the time were just seeing Rick going about his day to day life and there's only so long that you can see that before it starts to get boring which in this episode happens quite quickly and yet the whole general idea of the show could have been more interesting then what it ended up being as this episode really isn't the strongest episode to start this new show of on and when you start something on faulty foundations it doesn't matter how good the rest of the show because the start of the show was built of on faulty foundations with none of this being helped by the fact that this episode has some pretty bad pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a zombie show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really cool. With alot of the zombie kills in this episode being the most entertaining part of the episode as we get to see alot of the more gruesome kills that we all know that this show can give us and yet even with the all of the shows kills none of those mean anything as the plot of the show episode just isn't that good with the awesome kills in this first episode pretty much being there just to remind us that yes this is a zombie show and really nothing all the more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this is fairly bad first episode and as such it's hard to see this show catching on much like the first episode of either Fear The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead did as this episode just isn't that good or even all that interesting for that matter in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as we as all of the bad things in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episode airs or even is released online and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official The Walking Dead fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because the official The Walking Dead fandom wiki page actually has images from this episode up on the official The Walking Dead fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official The Walking Dead fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

The Lost Boys Film Review

When it comes to horrifying creatures of the night there are none that are really so iconic as that of vampires. With vampires having been a huge staple of horror for decades at this point and yet with them having featured in thousands of films over the decades there's only a select few that people will say are the best of the best with the film that i'm about to review for you all today being one such a film and so then join me as I review that is quite literally named after a group of Peter Pan characters with the film in question being called simply just "The Lost Boys" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when his brother gets turned in vampire it's up to Sam Emerson to find out who the head vampire is and kill them in order to save his brother once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then n all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being really fresh and different as it's a plot that really hasn't been all that much in vampire media before now as alot of vampire just deals with the same kind of plot and yet this film gives us a new plot for these truly iconic characters that feels well and truly timeless with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jason Patric as Michael Emerson , Corey Haim as Sam Emerson and Dianne Wiest as Lucy Emerson. Also starring in this film is Barnard Hughes as Grandpa , Edward Herrmann as Max , Kiefer Sutherland as David , Jami Gertz as Star , Corey Feldman as Edgar Frog , Jamison Newlander as Alan Frog , Brooke McCarter as Paul , Billy Wirth as Dwayne , Alex Winter as Marko , Chance Michael Corbitt as Laddie , Alexander Bacan Chapman as Greg , Nori Morgan as Shelly , Kelly Jo Minter as Maria and Tim Cappello as The Beach Concert Star.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films cast turning in some truly decent performances. However when you think of this films cast you usually think of better acting then what they deliver in this film as this films cast just don't deliver the kind of performance that we all know that they can deliver thanks to all of the other films an TV shows that this films cast have been apart off but what really does help the acting in this film is the fact that the films script is just so good that all the films cast simply have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

To give this film some credit it does have alot of really likable characters with the same thing also being true for the films main villain David Powers who as mentioned before is payed by the great Kiefer Sutherland. As that is something that does make sense as his character is meant to seduce and make you want to become a vampire even when you really don't want to and with alot of this films characters being extremely likable it makes it easier to form a connection with them and want to see them succeed as the films characters really are just that likable with it being hard to find a single character in this film who is really unlikable as it would have been very easy for the makers of this film to make David or Michael the most unlikable characters in the film and yet due to Michael's character arc and due to how good the films script is both of them come across as being really likable characters which makes them both standout when compared to other horror characters.

Weirdly enough when this film was first being developed with it's eventual executive producer Richard Donner set to direct the film was going to be almost exactly like The Goonies. With all of the vampire characters being around fourteen years old and Sam , Edgar and Alan being around eight years old however this was changed once Donner stepped down as he then brought out writer Jeffrey Boam with his instruction being to make the film more adult and to age up all of the characters and with that Donner left the project as it's director and was replaced by director Joel Schumacher so while Joel Schumacher does rather rightfully deserve alot of the praise that he got for the film as he did create an atmosphere on set that allowed for the cast to have input in there characters and improvise lines of dialog to better fit there characters Richard Donner and Jeffrey Boam also deserve praise for seeing that original script might not be working and taking active steps to make it work at an early stage of the films pre-production.

As was stated at the start of this review this film is titled after a bunch of characters from Peter Pan those of course being The Lost Boys. This wasn't a coincidence either as the films co-writer James Jeremias openly admitted to being inspired by Peter Pan as he was quoted as saying "I had read Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, and in that there was a 200-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 12-year-old girl. Since Peter Pan had been one of my all-time favourite stories, I thought, What if the reason Peter Pan came out at night and never grew up and could fly was because he was a vampire?" Taking inspiration from the tale of Peter Pan is a good idea however the film does nothing with this idea like what if instead of being just random kids what if the titular Lost Boys where all named after characters from Peter Pan with David himself being called Peter this is something that the film does try to do with Sam's brother being called Michael but that's really it yet they could have done so much more as if your going to be inspired by Peter Pan then go all the way with it and have some fun with it.

This film from what I can gather is fairly well loved and is frequently voted as one of the best vampire movies of all time. While I can't say if that's true or not just because of the fact that i've not seen all of the other vampire movies out there I can say that this film isn't as fun as it really should have been as this is film that should have been campy and over the top the fun not to the point where all of the characters are acting over the top but to the degree where the film is a blast to watch and where us the audience are having a really great time watching as it is tho the film is a bit boring to watch as there's large portions of the film where nothing is happening to advance to the overall plot of the film and is there just for the sake of being there on paper tho this film should have been fun as the very idea for the film allows it to be a fun but the makers of the film instead chose to strip all of the fun aspects out of the film ad while yes there are indeed elements of this film that are fun to watch the film as a whole just wasn't that fun to watch.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty seven minuets and twenty six seconds. Which is a really rather solid running time for this film to have as the film really doesn't have alot there interms of plot to really cover anything longer then that but at the same time tho it would have been nice if this film did have a slightly longer running time as it would have allowed the film to fully develop it's main plot alot more then what it already does do and it would have allowed the film to fully develop it's characters as well and while yes this would mean stretching the films plot even thinner given that it would mean improving key aspects of the film that would help make it even better then what it is having a plot that's slightly thinner would be worth it but to this films credit this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

 

So now then as this is a vampire film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films kills being the most entertaining aspect of the film as it's where the film gets to be the most fun ad when you add in the fact that the kills in this film are also some fairly creative kills as well with there being alot of kills that we really haven't seen done in any other horror film which only makes this film stand out as this is the film where we get to see vampires and none vampires alike killed off in some really creative and in some really cool ways as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is quite easily the best film that director Joel Schumacher ever made but at the same time tho it's also a film that's not as good as it really could have or perhaps even should have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the mages that I personally used in this very review from the official Batman fandom wiki page , Tenor . Com  , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this episode up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey Film Review

Disney really does seem to be having alot of bad luck when it comes to copyright as they did loose the copyright to Steamboat Willie just over a month ago now. However people seem to be forgetting that that wasn't the first time that Disney have had to deal with copyrighted characters going into the public domain as a character that while they didn't create him or friends took on a life of his own due to the Disney version and well with the sequel due out soon it was really only about right that I took a look back at the first film and so then join me as I review that really took the internet by storm for all of the wrong reasons with the film in question being called simply just "Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey" enjoy.

The plot of this film is five years after he left to go college Christopher Robin returns to the hundred acre wood and finds that Pooh and Piglet have become silent slasher movie killers and must stop them before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as this films plot really isn't all that good either with the plot of the film being as bad as you'd think it would be but also not as a fun as a title like this really should be with the films plot being a really dark plot when it really should have been more of a horror comedy with the plot of the film being really entertaining and also really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Nikolai Leon as Christopher Robin , Maria Taylor as Maria and Natasha Rose Mills as Jessica. Also starring in this film is Amber Doig-Thorne as Alice , Danielle Ronald as Zoe , Natasha Tosini as Lara , Paula Coiz as Mary , May Kelly as Tina , Danielle Scott as Charlene , Marcus Massey as Colt , Richard D. Myers as Logan , Simon Ellis as Tucker , Jase Rivers as John , Mark Haldor as Darrel , Toby Wynn-Davies as The Narrator , Chris Cordell as Piglet and Craig David Dowsett as Winnie-The-Pooh.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. With none of this films cast members turning in that good of a performance there are a few that are quite clearly trying to turn in a good performance but due to the films incredibly small budget it comes across as them only doing one take of each scene as they didn't have enough money to do a second take with this not really being helped by the fact that the films script is just so bad that it gives none of the films cast anything to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place.

For those of you that don't know this film was only able to get made because of the fact that all of the characters that appeared in the very first Winnie The Pooh book fell into the public domain. Which means that while people can now use those characters it has to be the book versions of the characters as the Disney versions of the characters are still under copyright and it means that we can now expect more out there takes on these characters just like we can and are indeed getting more weird versions of the Steamboat Willie storyline this is something that can work in favor of the makers of those films as it means that people who grew up with the Disney version s are going to be interested in seeing these more mature takes on these characters but at the same time tho if those films or whatever aren't good then your going to risk making the fans of those characters alot more angry then what they really would have been as the film makers would run the risk of letting those characters and there respective legacies down.

This film had a really small budget not only for it's film but also for it's main villains costume as the budget for the film was one hundred thousand American dollars. Where as the whole costume for Winnie The Pooh was seven hundred and seventy American dollars that is nothing and you can really tell that this film was shot on a really small budget as the whole film didn't take that long to film , it doesn't have a big cast or lots of locations and the film has really cheap looking villain costumes with Pooh's mask even being something that you can buy online for very cheap but to this films credit while the costume looks cheap the film does it's best to hide the costume for the most part and it's when you can't see the costume in it's entirety that it looks good but in a laughable way where as it's when you see the costume fully that it looks bad but Pooh got the better costume and mask when compared to that of Piglet as the Piglet mask doesn't look finished and his costume looks like a burlap sack only stretched over his entire body.

One of the things that really does let this film is the fact that they keep on flip flopping between having Christopher Robin be the main hero or just be a coward. As alot of the time that we see him he's fighting for Pooh to let some of the of the other victims live and yet when things don't go that way he runs away all this does is make him seem like a rather unlikable character as he doesn't do anything to project the other victims and yet he's meant to the main hero of the film yet if the film makers wanted him to be the main hero then they should have written him alot more better then what they do in this film as in this film they just flip flop between the two that all it does is leave us without someone to route for as the main girl really isn't all that likable of a character either and this results in us not really having a character to really route for and get behind when this really should the easiest film to have a likable character as the book and Disney version of Christopher Robin is a likable character and yet this film somehow made him a really unlikable character.

Unlike "The Mean One" which knew what it was but still didn't take full advantage of what it was this film plays everything straight. When just like "The Mean One" this is a film that really shouldn't have taken itself seriously as that would allow the film to be alot more goofier as the films premise and the very idea of the film itself really does allow itself to be a goofy film and yet by playing everything straight and not making any jokes all your doing is robbing us of what could have been a hugely entertaining film when it would have actually made the film alot more better then what it actually was if it was more goofier and didn't play everything so straight this is something that "The Mean One" did manage to do as it knew that it was a rip off of The Grinch and yet it still played around with the idea and concept and had fun with it here tho the film doesn't play around with it's idea when it really should have done as that would have made the film more enjoyable tom watch.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty four minuets and fifteen seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time that you'd expect a film like this one to have but even tho the film has more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time the film really doesn't end it's plot with the film just coming to an end when the third act really gets going when the film had more then enough running time to tell a complete story and yet for some strange reason chose not to which just leaves us with a film that really feels like that they really didn't have enough time and money to really film a complete ending and as a result of that the makers of this film just really went with what little ending that they had instead of giving us an actual proper ending but I will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty the best part of this film. As that was when the film got to be creative and fun to watch as the idea of Winnie The Pooh and Piglet killing people and really creative will always be a really cool and creative idea and the fact that we have alot of creative kills that while they don't really take advantage of the fact that it's Winnie The Pooh and Piglet killing people and has a ton of CGI blood there still creative and fun kills to watch that make the movie fun to watch as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while the idea behind the film is a good idea that really does open itself up to a good , and goofy film the film itself takes itself so seriously that the idea just isn't allowed to be as fun and as good as it really should have been as on paper this film really should have been a good and a really goofy film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used used in this very review from the official Horror Film fandom wiki page , Tenor . Com , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this episode up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
