October Movies - Week 1

Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,

Man, things just seem to be getting busier & busier... but at least next week we'll be heading to Las Vegas for the weekend... so that should be nice... until then, catch us this weekend at the Ogden Farmers Market AND Dia de los Muertos Festival all day ON THE SAME BLOCK on 25th Street between Washington & Grant Avenues... and at the Ogden Amphitheatre!!! Oh yeah... movies from this past week...

October 3 – Furry Vengeance (2010)
 
OCTOBEAR is in full effect… and this was an often forgotten Disney flick about a family (Brendan Fraser is the dad) who go to the forest to head up a housing development… but then the local animals start using guerilla tactics to get them to leave… and hijinx ensue. Half of Comedy Central is in this movie & it was lowly rated by critics & audience alike.. but… did we like it?!?

October 5 – Boy Kills World (2024)
 
This might be the Year of the Vengeance… with Monkey Man, The Crow & now you combine them with Bill Skarsgaard in Boy Kills World. Basically a young boy’s family is killed & then a man takes him into the jungle to teach him to kill the family in charge! The boy grows up to be Bill Skarsgaard… but he’s deaf & mute so his inner monologue is voice by H Jon Benjamin… and this turns into a video game movie real quick with action, intrigue, deception, more action, swearing, violence & action… for nearly two full hours. What did I think?
 
Rating – 10/10 – I really liked it… but yeah, it seems a little long & the twist was predictable but… still, you know what you’re getting into
 
October 7 – The Watchers (2024)
 
M Night Shyamalan’s daughter directs this tale of a young (Irish?) woman (Dakota Fanning) who’s sent a few hundred miles into the Irish countryside to deliver a bird for a pet shop (what?) & once she reaches the deep forest, the car shuts down & she’s in some mysterious haunted woods or something… but then she stumbles upon a few other humans who stay in a structure called The Coop at night because… there’s horrible monsters in them woods… who watch them through a two-way mirror at night. Why? Well, that’s why you have to watch the movie to find out… place your bets on what the twist is going to be. Look… there are a few stretches & weird dialogue moments… but not NEARLY as horrible as with M Night movies, so I’m glad that his daughter either realizes how people actually talk or has a few people around her to help. The atmosphere is eerie & all that… but there are a few plot holes once the twists happen that’re never really answered… so what do I think?
 
Rating – 8/10 – I really liked it… not great… but not bad… worth a watch if it’s your thing
 
October 9 – The Country Bears (2002)
 
OctoBEAR is upon us… so we watched the Disney movie that’s basically Blues Brothers getting the band back together… but with bears by Jim Henson productions! I had seen this back when it first came out & thought it was okay… really only remembered Christopher Walken’s bit part but… how has it aged?!?
 
Rating - ???/10 – That’s right… check out EVERYTHING I LEARNED FROM MOVIES AGAIN!!! SMASH & SUBSCRIBE!!!

​See you on Saturday!!!
