As you may be able to tell I am a little behind on my movie watching. But am quickly catching up. Hopefully, I will be all caught up by Tuesday, but that is only a hope. Below are my "reviews". I will have an updated list later this week.
Title: Hocus Pocus
Title: Hocus Pocus
This was the movie for October 4th
Starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy
Plot (according to the DVD box): "You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches return from 17th century Salem after they are accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth - but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat!"
Any Scenes During Halloween? Yes, the entire movie is set over one Halloween night.
Favorite Character or Scene: Sarah Jessica Parker's character Sarah. She plays a ditzy, completely idiotic but pretty sister who likes to play with boys and collects children for the sisters to eat. & of course, the favorite scene is Sarah Jessica Parker jumping up and down repeating words. Like saying, "A MUCK, A MUCK, A MUCK" until getting hit in the stomach. This happens variously during the movie.
Final Thoughts: Its one of my favorite Halloween movies. Something I grew up with. It's charming.
Title: It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
This was the movie for October 5th
The Back of the DVD reads: "Will this Halloween be the one when the Great Pumpkin come? Longtime believer Linus thinks so - and keeps watch all night in the pumpkin patch to welcome him. Charlie Brown gets into the spooky spirit too, dressing up as a ghost with more eyeholes than needed - but not scaring up the usual kinds of Halloween loot when trick-or-treating. Never fear, World War I fighting ace Snoopy is here to battle the Red Baron - and in doing so, crash Violet's Halloween party and Linus' vigil as well."
Final Thoughts: Another Halloween classic and childhood favorite.
Title: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
This was the movie for October 6th
Starring: Keanu Reeves & Alex Winter
Plot: Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted(Keanu Reeves) are two friends who have traveled back in time to do a history report. When the succeed they create a band, the Wild Stalyns, which creates peace among the universe in the future. (This is all better explained in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) Now in the future, an evil villain plans to send evil Bill & Ted robots to kill the good Bill & Ted to change history. The movie consist of Bill & Ted's journey through heaven and hell.
Any Scenes During Halloween? No, but there are scenes in hell.
Favorite Character or Scene: I think Keanu Reeves' character is the best way to imagine Keanu Reeves. He plays an airheaded teen very well.
Final Thoughts: It is a definite early 90's movie but I love it. It's funny (even though the first one is better - but isn't it always that way?) and it’s a great way to giggle at what was thought to be great special effects in the 90's.
