Ghost Stalkers (2014)
I wouldn't waste my time
I'm a fan of paranormal shows. This one is for me the worst of all the shows. It would be OK if not for Chad. His idiotic, over reactions to every little thing get on my nerves something awful. His monologues and trying to talk spooky and in a monotone is annoying to the nth degree.
It would be a good show if they got rid of him. There is a lot of information of the places they are investigating. That part is pretty interesting and enjoyable. Especially if you like visiting historic places. It just doesn't override for me, the irritation Chad brings on. He's just way too annoying. John is much easier to watch and listen to. He does a pretty good job. Save your time, watch a different show.
The Expendables (2010)
Action and comedy at it's best
My husband and I just saw this movie today and we loved it. It's got action galore but it's also got great comedy and unlike most movies of it's genre it wasn't loaded with one cuss word after another that add nothing at all to the plot. It wasn't something I'd want to take a young child to as there was some gory parts in it but older kids, who probably are desensitized by now to this type of thing, would probably love it. I really recommend this movie to anyone that likes action/adventure movies and add in the great camaraderie and comedy of the team and you have a winning movie. My only disappointment was not seeing more of Bruce Willis. He was only in there for about 5 minutes. Same for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
The worst movie of the series so far
I went to see the movie the day it opened. I wondered when it was over how in the world they could get it so wrong. The direction this movie took was beyond stupid and unsatisfying. Most of it was disjointed and even having read the book just before going to see the movie I couldn't for the life of me understand how much of it related to the book or story line. The scene at the borrow in the middle was completely unnecessary and made no sense to the storyline.
The love scenes were awful, especially the kiss between Ginny and Harry. Some of the Ron/Lavender stuff just about made me gag. I didn't see it as funny at all. What was the purpose of changing how the scene was done with Harry hiding the book? How is Harry supposed to know about the crown in the next movies or the hufflepuff cup as the cup isn't mentioned in this movie? They left most the memories out. Sorry, too much was changed in this movie from the book and story line and too much was left out. Harry wouldn't have sat below and not done something about the situation at the end with Dumbledore in the tower. Why not have just done it the way it was written in the book? Lastly why in the world would they leave out the funeral? To me it felt almost like the director and writer are just over the series and trying to get it over with and behind them. It appears as though they didn't put much thought into it at all but just threw it together as fast as possible. It was just too disjointed to make any sense at all.
I truly hope that the last 2 movies are done far better than this. Let's have it go out with a bang instead of fizzling after so many years of enjoyment.
