Happy October Eve month! As usual, the blog will be going into hibernation for most of September to prep for the 31 day Countdown to Halloween celebration. Also as usual, links below are Amazon Affiliate links where I may earn from qualifying purchases.
On with the show!
Series
Cobra Kai (S6 Part 1, Netflix)
Karate Fight Soap Opera is back! It's still fun but after last season I just
can't take the "serious" parts seriously. Sometimes it feels like a spoof of a
Mexican soap opera with the drama and the who's teaming up with who.
Unsolved Mysteries (S4, Netflix)
I don't know that I needed an episode about Jack the Ripper, it's been
unsolved for a little while now but the Mothman ep was kinda fun. Fun in the
"turn all the lights on your way to bed" way. The true crime eps are where
it's at and they've definitely got some interesting cases.
Files of the Unexplained (Netflix)
Hey, you got your Unsolved Mysteries in my In Search Of! It's like the Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown books in half hour format. If you were the kind of kid that always checked out books about Bigfoot, UFOs, etc, it's worth checking out. The last episode about a beach that's had way more than it's fair share of human severed feet wash up is a must watching because WTF?
Movies
I don't know marketing but if I were in charge for this movie, I would have
found a way to not reveal the vampire angle in the trailers. Talk about giving
too much away! Knowing that twist going in, this becomes an average "haunted
house" type movie with a couple of good scenes.
Rating: 5/10
I'm somewhat familiar with the Tarot and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work the
way it does in this movie. I can give them a pass on it because of the great
monster designs that come out of it. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is a little predictable as each character meets their
"foretold" death. It feels like Final Destination by way of Blumhouse which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Rating: 6/10
