A ★★★★ review of John Candy: I Like Me (2025)

This is a nice, touching tribute documentary to one of the most beloved comedians and actors of all time. I grew up with some of John Candy's movies like Uncle Buck, Blues Brothers, Splash (the scene ...

#day18 - #thanksgiving

Was originally a fake exploitation trailer director #eliroth made for Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse movie in the early 2000's. The faux trailer was awesome & by far the best thing Roth had made as a director & for years afterwards I was hoping for it to become a real full length movie.

And when we did finally get a real full length movie, I was kinda disappointed.
I say kinda cause it's still a rated-R movie with gore & the movie overall is okay, but this was no longer a 70's-80's esque exploitation horror movie, it was now more like a modern day Scream movie! And the movie feels very tame in comparison to the fake trailer!

Sure you can argue that If Roth had made the movie like the fake trailer it would have been NC-17 & not being able to be shown in movie theaters, but I still want that exploitation version of Thanksgiving movie god dammit!
A sequel is in the making, but I don't have any high hopes for it.

#day30✔️ : Game that you're the #mostexcited to play - #thepunisher💀 #arcadegame

There's A LOT of games, especially arcade games, that I really wanna play, but the one I really would LOVE to play is #thepunisherarcade game from #capcom

I know the easiest way to do that is either to find it at MAME (which apparently require ROMs & I don't think
my laptop can handle that) or find the special arcade cabinet that has three Marvel arcade games in it, such as this one, Konami's X-Men and Captain America & The Avengers from Data East.
Someday though, someday... Who knows, when it's safe to travel to the U.S. again, hopefully finding an arcade place there that happens to have an arcade cabinet of Capcom's The Punisher 🙂

I know there's a Sega Genesis port of this game, but that one had a few changes & was kinda toned down. Nah, I rather play the arcade version instead!

A Freddy vs. Jason idea was already suggested when they where gonna make Friday the 13th part 7, but at the time Jason was owned by Paramount Pictures & Freddy was owned by New Line Cinema.
So instead we got "Jason vs. Carrie-knockoff" & when New Line bought the rights to Jason Voorhees (but couldn't buy "Friday the 13th" name for some reason), they planted the seed for a Freddy vs. Jason movie at the end of Friday the 13th part 9...

And the screenplay for it was in development hell for 9-10 years & when they finally released it, the movie was overall average, it was okay.
Some kills where pretty good & the best parts & the highlights of the movie is when Freddy fights Jason!

The movie had different endings, one of them would have included Pinhead from Hellraiser stopping a fight between Freddy & Jason asking them "What seems to be the problem?" That ending I would have loved, but they didn't do it because Pinhead & Hellraiser was owned by a different company...
A sequel was planned, but it got cancelled & instead got turned into a comicbook miniseries - Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash (as in Ash Williams from Evil Dead!)
And guess what, the comic was SO MUCH BETTER than the 1st Freddy vs. Jason movie!

Me & a friend where into #tmnt like many other kids our age & generation, especially the original 80's cartoon show.
I remember we were in an amusement park in Finland (I forgot the name) & what was so awesome & cool about it is that every ride there was free! You didn't have to pay for a ticket for any ride at all! 😲😃🤘
Though you did have to pay at the entry to get in to the amusement park itself, which is reasonable.

And not only that, but they had a few arcade cabinets & games, & those where free to play too! You didn't need any tokens or quarters! 😃
And of course the one we played was the #tmntarcade game, it was the only arcade game we had the time to play while we were there.

I don't know If this amusement park still exist today or If everything there is still free, but it was an awesome time & an awesome memory! 😊

#day16 - #coloroutofspace

Based on the short story of the same name by #hplovecraft
From what I read on Wikipedia on this story, this adaptation is more close to it than The Curse with Wil Wheaton in comparison.
Sure they both have the same premise, but The Curse felt like a different movie, was worse in comparison, felt unnecessary mean spirited to Wil Wheaton's character & from what I've read both he & his sister (who was also in that movie) were abused on that set & that's just horrible & wrong! Fuck those assholes responsible!

Apparently this movie was part of a planned Lovecraft trilogy with Dunwhich Horror as the next movie adaptation, but it got cancelled when director #richardstanley was accused of domestic abuse & the production company Spectre Vision cut all ties with him.
I've no idea If those accusations where true or not and it seems that Stanley is still gonna make that Dunwhich Horror movie after all, according to imdb at least, and it's gonna be a two parts movie.

Stanley did a pretty good job with this one (despite some obvious CGI effects here & there) & I would like to see his version of Dunwhich Horror. I also hope that accussation on him wasn't true...

I'm not really a cosplayer, but I do like dress up for Halloween, which is the closest to "cosplaying" I've done. That & Zombie Walks.
And when it comes to video game characters, Tommy Vercetti I feel I could pull off - What I would need is a lightblue Hawaiian shirt with palmtrees, an Elvis pompadour wig, jeans, white sneakers, a watch & a necklace.

The 2nd title is originally "Your Sister Is A Werewolf", but I prefer the alternative UK name #stirbawerewolfbitch , which is a much, MUCH BETTER 2nd title! "Your Sister.." sounds like a Goosebumps book for crying out loud! 😂😜

The 1st Howling movie is a good movie & one of the best movies in the #werewolf genre, while the sequels (and a reboot?) where not, especially this one.
But this is a so bad it's good type of movie you would watch with friends on a Bad Movie Night, and the gore effects wasn't that bad.

The Howling is based on a book & it also got sequels as well, yet this movie is not based on the 2nd book & the author did actually do the screenplay on this movie at first, but then quit & it was rewritten by another person, using a different script that took out vampires & replaced with werewolves instead (which you can obviously tell!)
Christopher Lee meet Joe Dante, the director of the 1st movie, & apologised to him for being in this movie & said that he would gladly be in a movie directed by Dante as a favour - And that movie was Gremlins 2, a much better movie than this one! 😉

This may sound like a really weird choice, but it really relaxes me & I barely feel any frustration at any level except for the almost last stage, The Takagi Building, there it can be a little frustrating, but it's not horrible & it's still fun.

The 90's was not a good year for director #johnlandis .
Every movie he made in that decade flopped, such as the Sly Stallone comedy Oscar (haven't seen it, but it definitely looks like a flop), Beverly Hills Cop 3 (which is the worst one in the franchise), The Stupids (which was okay to me, but I can understand why this movie isn't well liked), Blues Brothers 2000 (which was not a good sequel at all, the whole movie felt so pointless!) & Susan's Plan (which I have never heard of & I doubt anybody else did, so it's no wonder why that one flopped!)

I guess the only successful project Landis directed in the 90's was the Michael Jackson music video Black & White (though I don't think that video got the same acclaim as when Landis directed the Thriller music video)

Even this movie became a flop, but this is honestly the only good movie Landis made in that decade! Sure it tries to be in the same style as An American Werewolf in London, but doesn't quite succeed, but it still has an interesting plot, great gore effects, a colorful almost over the top bad guy played by Robert Loggia & some nudity plus boobies! 😏😉
Maybe the story would have worked better as an episode of Tales From The Crypt since it was around the same decade & the movie would have definitely fitted as an episode of that show.

It's an underrated, forgotten John Landis movie that is worth seeing, at least once.

It's common that back in the day, in the 90's & the early 2000's, the video game movie genre was never a great genre. Either they did it wrong or they never understood the source material!

Nowadays that genre is getting slightly better, but not always great - Doom: Annihilation was bad despite having well known easter eggs from the games, the 1st Sonic the Hedgehog movie was ok, but I wasn't really a fan of it (I tried to watch the 2nd movie, but I need another try on that one) & despite the reboot Mortal Kombat movie being rated-R I still didn't like it! The upcoming 2nd movie however does look promising & I really hope it will be a great movie! 🙏
If you want a really great Mortal Kombat movie, watch Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, even MKL: Battle of the Realms & Cage Match where good movies as well!

This movie & The Super Mario Bros. Movie I really love because they understood each of their source material, they captured the feel & the look of the franchise, and there's so many easter eggs that it makes you nostalgic!

#day13 - #thetownthatdreadedsundown

Based on the true story of the #texarkanamoonlightmurders where a masked #serialkiller known as #thephantomkiller spread fear & killed innocent people in Texarkana, Texas 1946.
He was never caught or apprehended, his identity & motivation is still unknown today.

Despite having a slapsticky comedic scene that does not fit the tone of this movie at all & a kill scene with a trombone that I highly doubt happend, it's still a good movie. Not a masterpiece, but it's definitely one of director #charlesbpierce 's good movies (he also made The Legend of Boggy Creek & The Evictors, both good movies as well)
And yes, this movie inspired Jason Voorhees to wear a #burlapsack in Friday the 13th part 2.

In 2014 they made another movie of the same name that is suppose to be a mix of a sequel & a remake. It's like they couldn't decide what it's suppose to be so they made this mix & they think they're being clever by making it like Scream & I Know What You Did Last Summer, but it just looks bad & I don't understand why they wanted it to look like a 90's Kevin Williamson movie!
So that movie sucks, but I give it cred for being one of the first slasher movies to have a gay couple as horror movie victims, they did it first before Halloween Kills.

#day25 : A video game #moment that totally #suprised you - #conkersbadfurday

This whole game is full of suprising moments!
A literal pile of poo that sings as a video game boss, seeing Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie as a head taxidermy, that Nintendo was actually okay with releasing a raunchy, adult themed game which they normally would never do, & that they where actually able to fill a whole dialogue in a Nintendo 64 cartridge!

To my knowledge, Conker & Resident Evil 2 are the only two N64 games to have a whole dialogue, which was a technical miracle to be able to do that on a cartridge at the time, you could only do that on CD like the PlayStation & Sega Saturn.

A sequel was planned but it got cancelled because at the time Rare was purchased by Microsoft & they wheren't interested, and that shows one of the reasons why Rare fell down when they where purchased by Microsoft!
There's a remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded, it did sort of got a sequel as a campaign on Project Spark called Conker's Big Reunion, but it died of pretty quickly, and it got a re-release with the Rare Replay compilation.

An #ova #oldschoolanime based on the manga series #theguyverbioboosterarmor

The Guyver later got a 12 episode anime miniseries, which was good but it wasn't as gory as this one, it got a cheesy, corny American live action movie adaptation with an interesting cast such as Mark Hamill, Michael Berryman, David Gale, Jimmy Walker, Jeffrey Combs & a cameo from Linnea Quigley.
It did get a more serious toned, rated-R sequel with Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter in the role.

And in the early 2000's it got another anime series, this time with 26 episodes, but I haven't seen that one.
When it comes to The Guyver this is by far my favorite adaptation & If the early 2000's series is as gory & more adult themed like this one I might actually give that one a watch!

A ★★★★ review of John Candy: I Like Me (2025)

This is a nice, touching tribute documentary to one of the most beloved comedians and actors of all time. I grew up with some of John Candy's movies like Uncle Buck, Blues Brothers, Splash (the scene ...
