Monster High: The Movie (2022 TV Movie)
7/10
Spooky and fang-tastic! Review from an OG fan
12 October 2022
I'm an OG fan and have an extensive Monster High collection, so I am FULLY invested with this fandom.

I adored this movie, full stop. So many little references to past Monster High movies and dolls - so you can tell the writers did their homework. The sets, atmosphere and overall asthetic are creepy cool. Football with an actual foot? Loved it!

All the songs are bops. End of discussion.

Were some characters altered? Yes. But not a full overhaul like some reviews want you to believe. The characters still have their distinctive traits, but with a more modernized/updated feel. They are all portrayed as actual teenagers in the real world, with relatable insecurities and fears.

All the actors/actresses did such an amazing job with their characters, but Frankie was my absolute favourite in the film. I loved their comedic timing and they are just overall so enjoyable to watch.

My one criticism is that there wasn't enough Ghoulia! Maybe in the sequel she'll have more screen time.

Just give this a chance. It's a wonderful movie with TONS of monster heart and doesn't deserve the hate it's getting. Really hope we get a sequel!

The Wind (2001)
2/10
the wind stinks!
8 April 2004
The beginning voice over sounds like 'The Wind' could be quite an intriguing movie, but as the story unfolded I knew it was downhill from there. The major things about this movie that blew were the terribly bad acting jobs all the main characters did, (except for a few scenes involving the inner turmoil of Mic), there was a total lack of character development and absolutely no point to the plot - What were the writers thinking?

Michael Mongillo won 2 'horror/sci fi' awards for 'The Wind'. HUH? What was so scary about this movie? NOTHING! Except for the resident evil 2 video shots, the rest was more of a 'made for t.v thriller' - it wouldn't even have to be edited. If you want a far better movie about 'murder among friends' rent "Shallow Grave" instead.

'The Wind' */*****
