Hotel Transylvania 2 Movie Review

-
 I admit that I have never seen Hotel Transylvania, but being the movie nut ball that I am, I knew more than enough about the film to be more than familiar with it. I knew it was an animated Adam
Sandler film, costarring all of his friends (i.e. Kevin James, David Spade and Steve Buscemi). I knew it was about classic horror movie monsters led by Sandler's Count Dracula, who ran a hotel for monsters. I knew that it was also about his his teenage daughter (voiced by Selena Gomez) who falls in love with a goofy human( voiced by Andy Samberg). And so, to prove to his daughter that he likes humans, he opens his hotel to humans. That was the first one. See? I did pretty good without seeing it,right?
  And since the first one was a box office hit, it's inevitable that we would have a sequel. And we do. Shock. Surprise.
  I have another admission. I was bored when I picked this movie selection. I figured at the very least that I could stop it if it was awful. To my surprise, Hotel Transylvania 2 is a lighthearted, sometimes funny film about Count Dracula finding a way to keep his daughter in the castle. I'm leaving out plot details on this one. I could give you all the plot details, but what would be the point of watching the movie if I were to do that? So, I'm not going to be that guy.
  Like I said, I found Hotel Transylvania 2 to be a sometimes funny and entertaining movie that is not ruined by Sandler's typical bathroom humor. It's watered down here to where the whole family can enjoy it. it is by no means a great animated movie. It no Ice Age movie either. Thank the Lord for that.
  I give Hotel Transylvania 2 a solid B.

Movie Review: DADDY'S HOME 2

   Movies like DADDY'S HOME 2 are made for two things- to entertain and to make people laugh. That is exactly what this sequel to the hit DADDY'S HOME succeeds in doing. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg return as Brad and Dusty, co-dad's to Sara's(Linda Cardellini) two children, as well as much of the original cast. To recap the first one, Brad (Ferrell) is the step-dad to Sara's(Cardellini) two children who finds himself competing with the real Dad, Dusty(Walhberg) for the title of Dad.   With DADDY's HOME 2, we get the Grandfathers added to the mix. Mel Gibson as Dusty's Dad, Kurt and John Lithgow as Brad's Dad, Don. Gibson is stunt casting while Lithgow's performance is indicative of his award-winning career. Lithgow plays a comedic role in dramatic fashion. It could be the other way around as well. One of the things had a problem with in this movie is Gibson's performance, which I found to be a lackluster performance. It as if Gibson is just

Movie Review: WINCHESTER (PG-13)

-

      WINCHESTER tells the tale of Sarah Winchester (playing convincingly by Helen Mirren) and the infamous mansion she built (with help from construction people, of course) for years on end. She claims that her mansion is haunted by the ghosts of people who died from the Winchester rifle and is determined to turn her vast estate into a prison for the ghouls. Enter Doctor Eric Price (played well by Jason Clarke of  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), who is hired to do a phycological evaluation on Mrs.Winchester to prove whether or not she is of sound mind.   The film unfolds at a steady pace, clocking in at 99 minutes and long enough not to wear out it's welcome. One can easily predict how the story will play out. It's your standard, run of the mill haunted house thriller that breaks no new ground in the genre.The Spierig Brothers(Michael and Peter)manage to create a watchable and somewhat entertaining film that is good for passing the time. This film doesn't come anywhere
