Wow this show stinks! What can I say the show feels totally scripted. The contestants don't know basic tic-tac-toe and I can't believe the amount of answers they get wrong. The ones that are tough are seemingly guessed correctly by the celebrity. Nobody would know and should know some of this useless drivel. The banter is very lackluster and it's sad because they actually casted some talented comedians. Great comics such as Chelsea Peratti are on a leash having to have their jokes beeped out by the network. I'd suggest avoiding this show at all cost and I hope it gets cancellled after one season.

As a Halloween fanatic, its bitter-sweet to have a sequel that doesn't follow the original franchise. However, it's easier to come to terms that this is a strikingly new era for horror movies and that the last movie in the series was the poorly executed Halloween: Resurrection came out in 2002. The ability to sign on Jamie Lee Curtis was the pivotal move that would make the new film reputable and have the ability to continue a new story and future films. The major plus was the collaboration with John Carpenter to help pitch in with the film's score and soundtrack. The music was absolutely amazing from start to finish and mixed in with the scenes perfectly, especially when Michael meets the new heroine Allison at the gate for the first time. What also stuck out with David Gordon Green's adaptation of Halloween II is the amount of homage he plays back for the entire franchise with certain scenes, dialogue and props. It was quite remarkable and borderline ridiculous how many call backs, it seemed like it was almost every other scene. Similarly, to most of the Halloween films there is a clear separation between the first half of movie and the second half. The first half of the film was kind of choppy in places but it did provide with a great intro and some decent supporting role characters to move the story in the right place. The second half is exquisite excellency all the way around that includes, script, acting, dialogue and the full force of Michael Myers's brutality. Any fan of the franchise will likely enjoy this film, although it does bring up some saddening nostalgia about how great Carpenter's original Halloween films are.

A Quiet Place is an astonishing accomplishment from a first-time director, John Krasinski, who is most known for a role in a comedy tv show. This kind of versatility in Hollywood is rare and more people like Krasinski are needed to really resurrect the film franchise. A Quiet Place proves that original content can still crush in the box office, not just the standard, shallow Superhero films that get pumped out. In fact, A Quiet Place is continuing this trend of horror films achieving immense success in the 2017-2018 era, a prospect that remains extremely exciting. The film itself does a fantastic job in setting a bleak mood and feeling of isolation for the world we know today. This feeling of isolation is felt in one way by the great cinematography, which include an abandoned town, forest and farm, all incredible sights on the big screen. The pace of the film is skillfully worked, having a decent amount of quicker cuts and edits to start and then prolonging scenes during the intense ending. Very well done film, a must watch!
