Classic Cuts- Tales from the hood 1 and 2


 

The original starred Clarence William III, Corbin Bernsen, David Alan Grier (of in Living Color fame for back then anyway)

In this a funeral director tells four tales of horror with an African American focus to three drug dealers he traps in his place of business. The first

My favorite story from the original, was the one with the dolls

Not sure if the original’s soundtrack is still available but here’s the song list

I was surprised when I came across Tales from the hood 2 on Netflix . The main story of this one is Robo Hell which is a twist like the original was. In Good Golly a couple of besties Audrey and Zoe take a trip to the Museum of Negrosity housing an assortment of propaganda. Audrey is there to purchase a gollywog doll for her collection, the doll is named Golligee . Which I think was the most memorable. The Medium a fake so-called psychic medium preys on the grief stricken and those that didn’t have closure. He is forced to do a séance which can go one of 2 ways. It will reveal how much of a fake he is, or he will summon those beyond the veil. Date Night is basically the falls of using Tinder and other dating apps and their predators. makes me glad I didn’t sign up, though now wonder if I should. Lol The Sacrifice was another that was very memorable. Unlike when you get a reboot or remake and so on, I was surprised I liked this one. It felt like it had all the elements that made the original what it was. So if you liked the ’95 movie you likely (I think) will enjoy this one. Back to Robo Hell this ended up my favorite of this sequel. Robo patriot which is basically an upgraded Robo cop, with a shot of Captain America. A mascagonist, racist asshole politician calls it R.I. ‘Real Intelligence as it learns 1st and 2nd hand. It goes from Captain Robot to looking like another Marvel character or property. When it senses a threat to America !!! I had to pause it just to write some of this up and(it was almost over but I just got excited) and found it a little funny (the very end of it) reminded me of someone else. What did you think? Tale from the Hood 2 Wiki In the first story we get a bit of Nostalgia, a special ‘guest star’ from the original movie B overall and an A for the Robo Patriot

I think this was form the original movie

Tales from the Hood 3

this came on Syfy, i didn’t even know there was a 3rd movie. 

Tony Todd IS in this one though and No wonder… its from 2020

 

To get away from the bad things TT and a little girl (grand kid?) duck into some old building where she tells him some stories. 

The 1st story 

as always some     is trying to clear house, but one family with a sick boy remains In the building which is supposed to be turned into a medical building of some sort that the area so very much needs.  The suit that visited them earlier hires someone to get them out and he’s haunted.

 

2nd 

Some hillbilly racist living in a bunker to protect his water . NOt sure what happened but I think its all in his head. A new type of zoo! with an American Racist Exhibit … I like this twist!

Story 3

a backup singer gets fired and is hired to be a paid to pick up blood. The old woman gives the singer a music box which she has a nightmare about which the story was predictable 

4 Tale of the thief and I’m pretty sure that was some voodoo curse laid on him through the news. Walk a mile in his victims shoes and feel the pain of the families.

Chaperones  Angels and demons so  I  guess he’s trapped between life and death.

 

I’m definitely not impressed with this one and can see why no one seems to like it. It doesn’t have the tone style and such the previous 2 had.  No shocks and thrills plenty of cliché and no heart and no gory joy. Poor Candyman Tony Todd… WHY did you take this … He should have played the mortician!

Venom: let there be Carnage


2020/21. Pg-13 1;30

Tom hardy, woody Harrelson, Michelle williams, naomi Harris

Directed by Andy Serkis

tom hardy has a writing and producing cred

Writers

  • Kelly Marcel(screenplay by)
  • Tom Hardy (story by)
  • Todd McFarlane(Marvel’s Venom character created by)

So in trailer when Venom says that’s A red one ….what are the rules.to that? What makes a red one so special?

Cletus at St. Estes reform school and why does he not have the Ronald McDonald hair like he had in the Easter egg from prev. Movie.

Eddie goes to San Quinten to do an article. Ends up venom sees all the drawings in cell and venom helping Eddie with an article drawing everything he saw.’ I think I’m Pablo
piccaso. Maybe there’s some sort of A clue.

Eddie and venom get into a fight…honestly I was laughing more than being concerned. I think it was more comical and silly (in a good way) I guess because the 2 of them need couples counseling.

Eddie……’that was abusive “

Carnage makes a break and lol what he tastes like.

A glowing Masqurade party (rave? Do they still have those?)

Is there anything worse than carnage? cause I’d say he did more than that.

Oh Mrs c is kinda being weird…then it hits why

then there’s shriek and wait her eye looked blue before, now its purple

I have to say this one was more fun and funnier than the previous. (at least in my opinion, but then I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it.) Great time to release it cause if those faces aren’t scary and Great for Halloween, I don’t know what is. (I swear anyone who comes dressed as either is getting extra candy!) For those faces (teeth at least) they should consider this horror.

DEFINITELY one of if not THEE best movie of the year

Mid credit scene but no post scene

You should have Left


2020 R 1:33 Kevin Bacon via DVD

When a family vacations in a remote house (what the heck style is that?) in England (wales) the husband experiences weird hallucinations and abnormal reality as a menacing.spirit seems intent on making him pay for his past to sins

What beautiful views.

While the daughter, Ella is playing before bed making shadow puppets she sees a shadow figure not her own, nor her parents.

Let me guess this is going to be another movie where the house seems haunted but some former tenant is still living in the house?!?

The husband theo and wife have bad dreams The daughter asks why people don’t like daddy He was married b4 current wife… Prev. wife died but how she did is why they don’t like him

Omg the store guy…I have no patience MOVE YOUR ASS! “You never saw streller (whatever the name was) but he saw you”….

Oh man that’s creepy….Watch his reflection

Are the halls metaphor for his thoughts ?…is this a dream (nightmare) scape?

I don’t find they cast well, No idea why they have bacon with her… He looks creepy with her. And just as I finish…lol he figures something out about her.

When a glass breaks and water seems to disappear Ella says same thing I’m thinking….”FREAKY” Then he goes and does a little experiment or 2.

What the heck , that was a brain fart or Mind …..*&%^ He’s looking for Ella and she for him all of a sudden but where in the house is that dark hallway? (I would swear penny wise should be popping out of a door)

This was a psycho thriller. It may make you feel a bit dizzy or like you are getting the run around or better yet, if you experience anxiety or panic attacks…I’d chalk it up to something like that. What all the voices of the day attack when you are trying to fall asleep.

Hubie Halloween

2020 PG-13 1:43 Comedy mystery family Netflix

Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, George Wallace, Mikey Day, Keenan Thompson Ray Liota, Kevin James, Steve Buchemi

Despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem (and its Halloween celebration), Hubie Dubois (Sandler) is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something is going bump in the night, and it’s up to Hubie to save Halloween.

Hubie has an odd new neighbor ‘Walter’. And there’s someone stalking around like this is a slasher flick. For someone who loves halloween so much, he sure does scare easily.

OMG the Face behind the radio DJ voice!! LMAO

I will say this is a new fave, no its no Hocus Pocus, or worst witch, among others but its a nice one.
