HallowScream - Donald Duck: Trick or Treat (1952)

         Hey guys, Chuck here. And for today's HallowScream review, we're going to be looking at a 1952 Disney cartoon starring Donald Duck called Trick or Treat. 

        The short sees Donald Duck trying to enjoy a quiet evening on Halloween night, when his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie show up for trick-or-treating. Donald decides to mess with the boys by giving them firecrackers, which blows up their bags of candy. However, that night also sees a witch named Hazel show up, and what follows is a battle of pranks between Donald and Hazel, with Hazel using her magic to scare the daylights out of Donald. And, this includes using ghosts and a talking, flying Jack-o'-lantern to scare him. And, eventually using magic to make Donald's feet move with a will of their own. At the end of it all, Donald learns his lesson, gives the boys their trick-or-treat candy, and Hazel flies off to parts unknown. 

       So, Trick or Treat is a fun little short, and it's funny seeing Donald Duck go through so much insanity on Halloween just for messing with his nephews and also a witch. Speaking of which, the use of the character of Witch Hazel was pretty neat, ahd she was the perfect Halloween foil for Donald. And, seeing Donald's nephews in their Halloween costumes was pretty fun. Definitely a fun watch for the Halloween season, I'm giving the Donald Duck short Trick or Treat a rating of 5/5. 

      Okay guys, this is Chuck signing off, and HallowScream will continue next time with the new movie Venom: The Last Dance.

Review - The Thundermans Return (2024)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Last night, I watched the new movie The Thundermans Return on Nickelodeon, and I have a few thoughts on it. For those who don't know what The Thundermans was, it was a Nickelodeon sitcom that ran from 2013 through 2018, and focused on a family of superheroes known as, well, the Thundermans. The show was okay, at least the episodes I happened to catch when it was on, but after seeing a lot of the advertising for this movie, I was genuinely tempted to check it out. So, here's my review of the new Nickelodeon movie The Thundermans Return.           So, the movie starts off with the Thunderman family, who since the end of the series have moved to the city of Metroburg, and are fighting crime as the superhero team the T-Force. And, something worth noting is that the family has aged in real time, so we see that Phoebe and Max are now adults, Nora and Billy are high schoolers, and Chloe is a middle schooler. Unfortunately, after a mission gone awry due to

Review - Ocean's Eleven (2001)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Back in the 1960's, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the rest of the Rat Pack teamed up and made a movie called Ocean's 11 , which told the story of a military veteran named Danny Ocean, who teams up with his fellow squad members to rob a number of casinos in Las Vegas. It was definitely a product of the time, and is actually a really fun movie. Seeing Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the Rat Pack on screen together is just genuinely fun.        In 2001, producer Jerry Weintraub and director Steven Soderbergh would bring together a fantastic cast to tell a more modern version of the Rat Pack classic, and that's the movie we're talking about today. This is my review of the 2001 Steven Soderbergh film Ocean's Eleven starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, and Julia Roberts, along with the likes of Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, Eddie Jemison, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, and

Review - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

         Hey guys, Chuck here. The other day, I took a look at Rian Johnson's murder mystery Knives Out , which was a financial and critical success for Lionsgate Films. However, even though Lionsgate greenlit a sequel, Netflix wound up buying the rights for a two-film deal for sequels to Knives Out . Today, we'll be taking a look at the first of these sequels: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery , written and directed by Rian Johnson, and starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, along with a cast of newcomers that includes Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick, Leslie Odom Jr., Madelyn Cline, and Janelle Monáe.          So, this movie involves a tech billionaire named Miles Bron, who has sent puzzle boxes to his circle of friends, including politician Claire Debella, fashion designer Birdie Jay, scientist Lionel Toussaint, and Twitch streamer/men's rights activist Duke Cody. Within the puzzle boxes are invitations to Miles' private island
