The Mini-Munsters Film Review

 


For those of you that don't know i've been busy reviewing every single live action film that's come from The Munsters franchise. Well with this very review I now conclude my journey into The Munsters since this film was also the franchises only animated TV film and so then join me as I review the film that attempted to bring The Munsters into the realm of animation with the film in question being called simply just "The Mini-Munsters" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Eddie and his cousins Igor and Lucretia discover that Eddie's new car can run on music and so an evil gangster attempts to stop them by any means necessary. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty passable at best which very sadly for a Munsters film seems to be the norm in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.   



Starring in this film is Richard Long as Herman Munster , Cynthia Adler as Lily Munster and Al Lewis as Grandpa Dracula. Also starring in this film is Bobby Diamond as Eddie Munster and Henry Gibson as Mr. Grundy there are more voice actors in this film but for the life of me I cannot who they played however I will say that the guy playing Herman does a very good Fred Gwynne impression in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With alot of this films main cast giving an OK performance heck the only truly bad performer in this film is Cynthia Adler who not only sounds nothing like Yvonne De Carlo but she also turns in a rather wooden performance as Lily Munster as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then I really cannot find out who did the animation for this special which given what I thought about the animation in this film is good thing. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad like how anybody thought that this films animation was OK is well and truly beyond me since it's some of the worst animation that i've seen this year in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then incase some of you don't know this film is a adaptation of the 1960's live action sitcom The Munsters. While the sitcom was very fondly remembered by alot of it's fans this animated version only got aired twice which is shocking because this animated film was fully intended to be the pilot episode for a potential animated version of The Munsters and well thank god it didn't get picked up because this film is just dreadful in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

There's one key main character whom you'll notice is missing from this special and that's the character of Marilyn Munster. Whom for some strange reason wasn't included in this special which is weird because even the bad live action Munsters films always found a way to include her character and they always found something for her character to do in the films in question and so to not have her appear in this film heck this film doesn't even mention her at all it just feels weird and very freaking odd in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This film does get alot of the family members right altho it does age Eddie up to be about fifteen going on sixteen years old which just rubbed me the wrong way. Since when I picture Eddie I picture the sweet and innocent little kid from the TV show and to top things of this film really doesn't give Eddie much of a personality which is a shame because the TV show also didn't give Eddie much of a personality either and so then this film could have fixed that issue but openly chose not to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and nineteen seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for a story like this since it means that all of this films key plot points happen in a rather inorganic way instead of having these plot points build up in a way that feels naturel it's all just done in a rather fast paced way because of the fact that the film has to hit the next plot point which does ultimately hurt this freaking film quite alot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then this film is meant to be a comedy film and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which for this film is freaking OSCAR worthy thing to say but with all of that being said tho alot of this films jokes jus fall flat but when this film does indeed tell a good joke you really freaking do notice it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really bad film and I can quite easily see why this animated series didn't get picked up for a full series since it has most of the iconography there but it doesn't understand what made those things work in the first place and is just a bad film in general in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of a 3 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Munsters fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Visitation Review

 


Doctor Who fans after taking a few weeks of of reviewing all of Doctor Who season 19 i'm now finally back with my review of the very next season 19 episode. This episode is actually quite famous for being the last ever episode in the classic Doctor Who canon to feature the Sonic Screwdriver since the device would be destroyed in this episode and it wouldn't be seen again until the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie and so then join me as I review the episode that saw the death of the Sonic Screwdriver with the episode in question being called simply just "The Visitation" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor and his companions find themselves near London in the 17th century and have to stop an evil race of Aliens from whipping out all of humanity by using a very deadly plague. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes main plotline being genuinely quite engaging as well as being very entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa. Also starring in this episode is Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka , Michael Robbins as Richard Mace , Michael Melia as Terileptil Leader , Peter Van Dissel as Android , James Charlton as The Miller , Neil West as The Poacher , Eric Dodson as The Headman , John Savident as The Squire , Anthony Calf as Charles , John Baker as Ralph , Valerie Fyfer as Elizabeth and Richard Hampton as A Villager.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this episode cast including this shows main cast turning in some truly wonderful performances which only goes to make this episode all the more memorable for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then this episode features one of the very rare occasions where a villain from the episode actually enters the TARDIS and this got me thinking why haven't we seen the Daleks enter the TARDIS before. Since seeing any villain enter the TARDIS is creepy enough already and yet to my knowledge at least we've never seen the Daleks enter the tardis which is such a shame because that would be such a freaking cool moment in the show and it would be a pretty creepy visual as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


As I mentioned at the very start of this review this episode was the last episode to feature the Sonic Screwdriver. This was done because both the writer of this episode Eric Saward and producer John Nathan-Turner hated the fact that the writers would often use the Sonic Screwdriver would often use the device to get the characters out of situations and so by removing the device the idea was that it would force the writers to get creative and in my opinion it worked really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Oddly enough this episode doesn't continue on with this seasons tradition of having one companion to absent for the episode. With all three of this seasons companions playing a fairly substantial role in the plot of this episode which in all honesty makes me wonder why they had to get rid of a companion in the previous episodes when it's clear as day that they had the ability to give all three companions a substantial role in any given episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode is also a historical episode which are always fun to watch and if i'm being honest this episode was a really good historical episode. With my one major issue being that this episodes main villains just weren't that threatening with this episodes monsters looking more like giant fish rather then instead of some kind of threatening alien race which for a classic Doctor Who episode is never ever going to be a good thing whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I cannot remember whatever this episodes grand total running time was but I do know that for a fact that this episode has /had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty six minuets. Which was a bit on the short side for a story like this one since you very easily could have gotten at the least five episodes worth of storyline just out of this one story alone and by adding in that extra episode it would then allow you the chance to develop your characters and your villains which is something that very sadly cannot be done with a four episode limit in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then instead of talking about this episodes action which was clunky at best I instead want to talk about the fact that this episode features a very key British historical event. That being the great fire of London now I don't pretend to know alot about this event but either way it was great to see this episode tackle this event in a way that didn't feel like it was talking down to me since if anything it felt like that this episode was just having some fun with this event whilst also telling us just how important this event was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun episode to watch and it's one that I can very easily see myself coming back to after i've finished watching then thus reviewing every single episode of this season because this episode is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . CO .UK , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost Film Review

 


Scooby-Doo fans it's been at the very least two months since I last reviewed anything that's to do with Scooby-Doo and since my last Scooby-Doo review was based off of Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island it only makes sense to me at the very least that this review be based off of the very next direct to video Scooby-Doo film. So then join me as a review the film that introduced the world to a now famous rock band with the freaking film in question being called simply just "Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Scooby and the rest of the Mystery Inc gang go to the small town of Oakheaven as the guest of famed horror book writer Ben Ravencroft and while there they discover anther mystery that needs to be solved. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that freaking bad bur that's also the issue because of the fact that the previous films plot was so good it's shocking and disheartening to see that the second films plot just isn't as god in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Scott Innes as Scooby-Doo and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and Frank Welker as Fred Jones. Also starring in this film is Mary Kay Bergman as Daphne Blake , B.J. Ward as Velma Dinkley , The great and perfectly cast Tim Curry as Ben Ravencroft , Jennifer Hale as Sally "Thorn" McKnight , Neil Ross as Mayor Corey and Exhibit Voice , Jane Wiedlin as Dusk , Bob Joles as Jack and The Constable , Kimberly Brooks as Luna , Tress MacNeille as Sarah Ravencroft and Peter Renaday as Mr. McKnight.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking good. With Tim Curry of course turning in a truly wonderful performance in this film and heck even B>J> Ward's more youthful voice for Velma oddly works well for this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this film is of course Mook DLE whom also did the animation for previous Scooby Doo film and did the animation for the next two animated direct to video Scooby Doo films. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking good which considering that the previous film had some truly fantastic animation it only makes sense that this film would also have to good animation as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I really do think that this film inspired the ending to Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed simply because the two endings are very similar to one another. With the endings to both films revolving around the gang throwing something to each other other in order to defeat that films main villain and so it really wouldn't surprise me at all if James Gunn became inspired by this film because it's so freaking blatant in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This film instead of having one sole mystery technically has to none of which im going to spoil but I will say that having two mysteries in the same film is pretty bold and daring move. It's just a shame then that only the second mystery gets alot of actual effort thrown into it with the first mystery getting nothing that would help us the audience solve that actual mystery ourselves in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


If there's ne thing that this film is famous for it's for introducing the world to The Hex Girls and yeah I really did like them in this film. That being said however the girl group do act needlessly scary in key parts of the film which is just something that rubbed me the wrong way simply because we get to find out the truth about these girls and if they didn't act needlessly scary then they wouldn't have been key suspects in the first mystery of this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and six minuets and thirty five seconds. Which is such a short amount of running time in order to probably tell this story and to give both of this films mysteries any kind of justice as such I really do think that this film should have at the very least have been one hour and thirty minuets long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then since this film is a comedy film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty just OK at best. Since alot of this films jokes didn't really all that hard for me personally but on the flip side of that tho is when the film does indeed tell a very funny joke it is a genuinely funny joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film is a pretty decent follow up film to Zombie Island but at the exact same time tho Zombie Island is very clearly the better of the two freaking films in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because the official Scooby Doo fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition.

Blood Drive: The F...ing Cop TV Series Review

 


There are alot of TV shows out there and sadly quite alot of them get cancelled and thus fall into TV obscurity. As such I thought that i'd take a look at one of those very shows today which despite getting both god ratings and good reviews was sadly cancelled after it's first and only and season and so then join me as I review the season premiere of Blood Drive with the episode in question being called simply just "The F...ing Cop" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is a cop is forced to embark upon a deadly race across a America where the winner receives ten million American dollars. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was genuinely really engaging and was also genuinely quite entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this episode is former Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star Alan Ritchson as Arthur Bailey , Christina Ochoa as Grace d'Argento and Thomas Dominique as Christoper Carpenter. Also starring in this episode is Marama Corlett as Aki , Colin Cunningham as Julian Slink , Andrew Hall as The Gentleman , Darren Kent as The Scholar , Craig Jackson as Cliff , Jenny Stead as Domi , Brandon Auret as Rib Bone , Altovise Lawrence as Sergeant Gower , Carel Nel as Rasher , Nathan Lynn as Junkie , Adam Pelkowitz as Fat Elvis , Paul Pieterse as Clown Dick , Bjorn Steinbach as Barry and Jesse Suntele as Todd.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best. Which given that this show aired on the SYFY network is something that I kind of expecting to be the case even more so when you take into account that all of this episodes main cast actors and actresses aren't that very well known in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



So now then I personally saw bot this show and of course this episode as a lot more of a demented version of the classic Wacky Races TV series. I mean both shows have a vast diverse amount of characters all of whom have there own wacky personalities with cars that help sell you on those personalities all of which convinced me that this show is a more demented version of Wacky Races in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Look to be really honest here I really do feel that this show aired on the wrong network since this show is basically a horror show that for strange reason chose to air on the SYFY Channel. Which just doesn't make that much sense to me since there were places like Netflix around back in 2016 which would have been a more perfect home for this show and we would have gotten a few more seasons out of this show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I say this because everything about this show and about this episode just doesn't look like that it would do well enough on the SYFY. With my point being proven with the fact that this great show that had loads of potential was cancelled after it's first and only season and so why the makers of this show and of this episode chose to go to the SYFY Channel with this show is well and truly beyond since both Netflix and Shudder would have been a much better home for a show like this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I will very much admit that this episode does something which I didn't like and that's the fact that this episode didn't set up any plotlines for the rest of this season. Which is something that all good first episodes of any TV show should be able to do no problem but yet for some strange reason this first episode only sets up the main plotline and nothing more then that which just leaves us with a bunch of characters that we don't know and that were not quite sure that we even like yet in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode had / has an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and eight seconds. Which is the bog standard length for any TV show that claims to be an hour long even tho it airs on a network that airs adverts but even so this is perfect running time for an episode like this one to last since once you've set up the main plotline of the show there's not really that much left to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then I have absolutely no idea if this show is classed as a horror show or not since there are plenty of horror elements in it but at the same time the show isn't even listed as being a horror show since it's instead listed as being a science fiction action television series. This is despite the fact that this episode has a the best death scene that i've ever seen in any kind of horror TV show which i'm not going to spoil here but it will make you look at car engines differently in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode was a really solid opening first episode to a really solid and a really underrated TV show with this episode being a really good example of how good and how crazy this TV show can get in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Wikipedia , IMP Awards . Com an Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Kinda Review

 


Doctor Who fans it's that time of the week of the again and well then I have to admit that I wasn't even sure that I even wanted to do a Doctor Who review this week. However tho I started something and i'm determined to get it finished and to see it through to the very end which means that I am indeed back with yet another Doctor Who review and so then join me as I review the episode that started out hated by the Doctor Who fandom but had steadily been getting alot more love and respect with the episode in question being called simply just "Kinda" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Nyssa , Tegan and Adric land on a planet so that Nyssa can relax however while there the group happen upon a dangerous religious figure that will scare Teagan for quite some time. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty confusing and very freaking hard to follow at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric , Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka. Also starring in this episode is Richard Todd as Sanders , Nerys Hughes as Todd , Simon Rouse as Hindle , Mary Morris as Panna , Sarah Prince as Karuna , Adrian Mills as Aris , Lee Cornes as Trickster , Jeff Stewart as Dukkha , Anna Wing as Anatta and Roger Milner as Annica.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty. Really good alot of this comes down to things the first of which is the that cast are genuinely good actors and actresses and the second of which is that director Peter Grimwade really does know how to direct his cast in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



So now then if there's one thing that this episode is famous for and it's the fact that the main snake villain is made up of one terribly made bad puppet. Which yeah does look really bad even by the standards of the early nineteen eighties and what makes things even worse is the fact that they could have done this snake alot better if they just had more time to build a better puppet in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then as with the past two episodes of this particular series this episode also gets rid of one companion. However instead of just having that companion just straight up disappear from the main storyline of the episode this episode actually writes out the companion and gives them an actual reason for not appearing in this episode which is something that I wished the previous two episodes in this series did as it shows that the writer actually knows what the heck they are doing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This episode was directed by writer and director Peter Grimwade with this episode actually being his second to last episode that he directed for Doctor Who. I have to say that the man really was a talented director and by all accounts he was a pleasure to work with as a director but his friendship with producer John Nathan Turner went downhill all because he wouldn't invite John Nathan Turner out to lunch even tho he was going to take him out do dinner anyways which is just a stupid reason to not keep him on board as a director in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode is very much a Tegan episode but even so she doesn't really get alot of the focus in this episode. Which is a shame because when we do get to see her she's usually doing something that is key to moving along the plot of the episode and alot of her scenes really do offer up something that is at the very least very visually interesting which is something that cannot be said for alot of this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode is actually four episodes long with each episode lasting no more then twenty five minuets in length which means that this episode had an overall grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty eight minuets in total running time length. Which was a great amount of time for this episode to last however I really do feel that this episode could have been at the vert least five or even six episodes long since then you could have made the story alot stronger amongst over things all of which would have made this episode alot better then what it already is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since there is an action packed finale to this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which considering that Classic Doctor Who very rarely if ever did any kind of action scenes whatsoever that is a freaking good thing in my freaking anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is the worst episode of series nineteen thus far which I have a feeling that that will change once we reach Time Flight but for now at least this episode is the worst one of this entire series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very rev8ew and well then that means that this very review and that means that this very episode erns itself a a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , Amazon . Co . Uk the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
