This week I have decided to watch a movie that I have been wanting to watch for a while now and it is called The House, a Netflix original anthology movie about the stories of three different houses and their inhabitants. 

    This movie Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Goth as two voice actresses in the movie. Any movie that I have seen with these two incredible actresses are going to be creepy, yet whimsical which is what The House is giving. 

    I will say conceptually this movie is beautiful. Felt and stop motion? Sign me up! However, this movie is split into three parts, and I really only gasped at part one. Part one made me squirm a bit, but the other two parts were very mid.

    Visually this movie is quite stunning, but other than part one of the movie it felt long. I wish the other two parts had the umph like part one did, but overall I give it a 7/10.

    I am a huge Helena Bonham Carter fan and you are totally correct she does a great job of playing creepy yet whimsical characters. If I have some extra time this week maybe I will give The House a watch

       There will be three options for me to watch, if people comment and take a vote on which one I should watch. I will tally up the comments and choose the one with the most votes. If there are no votes, then I will roll a three-sided dice and let fate decide! I will be doing different ratings; if the movie is horror, I will have an extra rating on how good the kills were if there are any, and if it is a mystery, I will rate on how good the plot twist is if there is any! The three movies that are in selection will be: 1. Raw: A horror movie about a college student who is adapting to life as a veterinary student. 2. Spellbound: A thriller about a psychiatrist who is trying to unravel the memories of her patient who is being framed for murder. 3. The Blob: A classic monster movie of a gelatinous being that consumes everything in sight!  I have not seen any of these movies but are a few that I would like to see! The decision of which I should watch wil...

      This week's movie is Spellbound, a murder mystery from 1945. Spellbound takes place in a mental hospital in Vermont and stars Gregory Peck as John Ballantyne a man with amnesia who begins to blur past memories involving a murder and his childhood. Then there is Ingrid Bergman who plays as Dr. Constance Petersen, a new psychiatrist who just started a new job at the mental hospital who tries to help John disconnect and remember two past memories that are colliding.  I was never interested in old movies before. When I tried to watch them when I was younger I had hard time because I thought they were boring. I mean it's in black and white, and I am a lover of bright vivid colors. However, I was wrong. The story is alright, but just because a story is alright does not make it a "not so bad" film. I feel they are over dramatic, and I believe that is what made these films so exciting, and for me quite comical.  There is a scene that I feel should have won an...
