Goosebumps
The best part about meeting your favorite
author is finally getting to tell them how to improve their books.
Unfortunately, the teen in this
family-comedy is only interested in the writer’s daughter.
When Zach (Dylan Minnette) and his mom (Amy
Ryan) move in next-door to Mr. Shivers (Jack Black) and his daughter Hanna
(Odeya Rush), Zach is instantly smitten with her.
But when Zach and his friend (Ryan Lee)
break into Hanna’s house to free her from her father, they not only discover
that Shivers is actually kid lit author R.L. Stine, but accidentally bring
every monster he created for his horror series to life.
A wholly original tale featuring elements
from every Goosebumps book and TV episode, this awesome adaptation benefits
greatly from Black’s maniacal performance, as well as its spunky script and
first-rate effects.
However, if everything they wrote materialized than authors would just write about licensed theme parks. Green Light

The Haunted Mask
The real reason that teenagers love wearing
Halloween masks is because they cover-up all of their acne.
Unfortunately, once on, the macabre masque
in this horror movie cannot be removed.
Teased by her friends for her
faint-heartedness, Carly Beth (Kathryn Long) ditches her duck Halloween costume
for a more menacing mask that she stole from a costume shop.
Unbeknownst to her, the mask has strange
properties that manipulate her behavior. And when she goes to remove it, she’s
shocked to find it’s permanently affixed to her face.
Adapted from one of R.L. Stein’s most
infamous Goosebumps tale, The Haunted Mask also marked the genesis of the
long-running television series.
Although the narrative is frightful and
mindful, especially for the prepubescent market, it’s the outdated special
effects that really do this parable an injustice.
Besides, nowadays, instead of a haunted
mask it would have to be a haunted sexy pirate costume.
