Frivolous Flicks 1

I be watching stuff but not all of it. Not like movies when I put a DNF/10 but an episode or two of a series and then I don't write about it. That changes now. I watched parts and episodes of some shows with L. a few weeks ago and will be writing about them. These are from American Horror Stories.

X 3/10

A security guard is at his post when he sees this spooky ass woman standing outside and he goes to investigate which proves this was not written by a Black person. She vanishes. This nurse named Claire is working at a hospital where it is obvious they use a lot of day for night shots. She turns and she and a coworker see her standing in the hallway just pointing and looking like she took every single drug that exists and some that don't anymore. She gets a bed and the other nurse is like “Please don't leave me alone with this bitch.” An orderly comes in and gets killed and the lady is gone.

The Review: Mr. Crocket

Mr Crocket 6/10

L and I watched this movie that we meant to watch a week ago called Mr. Crocket. I have a lot of random stuff to say about this and a lot of folks may not agree with me or the score I gave it since a lot of people are calling this terrifying and amazing. Its fine. A 6/10 means it is just fine. Do I want more? Not really. This starts off in 1993 with this mother named Rhonda and her son Darren who is watching Mr. Crocket on VHS. The show seems insane as hell. I can't really say that considering the stuff I watched growing up. The show Darren is watching will just stop and show Crocket starring at the scream saying nothing or one of his nutty characters. He also seems to be aware of what is happening in the home. Darren's stepfather wants him to finish eating his food and instead of stepping in Rhonda leaves the room to question her choices in men while Darren is being forced to eat his food.

The Review: Renfield

Renfield 5/10

This movie had the potential to be really good but a shoehorned love story/cop tale turned this into something that felt more like the pilot of a series on NBC that would get canceled halfway through the first season. This is about Renfield. He is the familiar for Dracula. Like, the for real ass Dracula. He eats bugs and gets powerful and knows martial arts. He begins to feel like he is in a codependent relationship with Dracula and goes to a support group to learn how to deal with it. Meanwhile a cop whose father was murdered and no one was ever caught crosses paths with him because he has to slaughter people for Dracula to survive. This movie has a great cast (except for one person who I struggle to listen to when they talk) and some creatively crazy fight scenes. But this just felt flat and I wish I liked it more.
