The Goonies and Candyman

Even though movie night was filled with interruptions (dinner didn't go as planned, the fire needed refreshed, the cats kept playing with loud toys, the DVD was skipping....) it was still great. We watched The Goonies and Candyman - from one extreme to the next! What's funny is that we all gave the same ratings! Here's the reviews...

The Goonies
Picked by: Brooke
Why Picked: "A great movie from childhood. I watch it now and I can't believe my parents allowed us to watch a movie with so much cussing!"

Brooke: Two thumbs up!
This movie is probably the reason I fell in love with all things pirate. A great adventure with a great cast.

Chuck: Two thumbs up!
A great movie about family and coming together.

Steph: Two thumbs up!
Hey...you...guyyyyss! Great movie! How in the world did I get this far in life without seeing it?

Dave: Two thumbs up!
I am glad that I finally saw this movie. I now know where the Truffle Shuffle came from. And other catch phrases like "Hey you guys"

Stacy: Two thumbs up!
I've seen this movie about six times, but I have never before noticed how loud the kids are the entire time! Still, it's a good movie with lots of funny parts. Stacy love Chunk!


Candyman
Picked by: Dave
Why Picked: "Because it is a true scary movie"

Brooke: One thumb up, one thumb down.
I am not a big fan of scary movies. This one was not as scary as I thought it was going to be.

Chuck: One thumb up, one thumb down.
In my mind this movie was very scary, but in reality not so much. The other thing is the amount of nudity that is not needed at all.

Steph: One thumb up, one thumb down.
Ummm...I remember this move as incredibly scary, but I suppose that in the last 17 years psychological thrillers have come a long way! The fact that we watched this on VHS didn't help with the "convincibility" of the plot. Is convincibility a word?

Dave: One thumb up, one thumb down.
Not as good as I remember, but worth seeing again. Did not have the same effect as 15 years ago in Alex's apartment...Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie... St________!

Stacy: One thumb up, one thumb down.
I didn't really care for this movie. It wasn't very scary and, well, I didn't get it.

Okay, so it's all in her head, right? She's the killer. She's so consumed with the urban myth that it begins to control her? Whatever. I gotta say though, for 1992, she's kinda hot. Even with her tapered ankle-length leggings and constant smoking. I know I saw parts of this movie when it was released because I'm pretty sure it caused my intense fear of bees. Unfortunately, it did not give me an intense fear of candy in any way...
