The Last Of Us Trailer Shows How It Can Appeal To Casual Audiences Too



 As a kid, Cindy You-Know-Who’s mother was murdered by a monster dressed as Santa Claus. All grown up now, her therapist recommends she goes back to her childhood home in Newville to face her past trauma. Not long after her return, The Mean One once again begins to terrorize the town and its residents as any sign of Christmas appears. This movie is a horror parody of the beloved children’s classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.


THE GOOD


David Howard Thornton plays the self-titled character. Horror fans will be familiar with Thornton’s portrayal of Art the Clown in the Terrifier movies. He does a great job of combining the evil and playful sides of the character. I would place this in the horror comedy category for sure. The Mean One incorporated a lot of the characteristics of the original cartoon such as the narration in rhyme and changed the names of characters and locations, i.e., Cindy You-Know-Who and Newville. I also thought they did well with blending together the new storyline with some cartoony aspects. I feel like they did a good job paying homage to the original cartoon.


THE BAD


The acting was not the best, but not terrible. In the first half of the movie, I was impressed with the acting but about halfway through it all went to shit. The storyline that made Cindy this badass and hellbent on killing the monster was lame. They spent a lot of time explaining what this monster was, but I would have liked to see him on screen more. Also, the killings were not very creative. I was expecting a lot more gore and this just left my horror-loving heart disappointed.




OVERALL


The Mean One had its moments of fun but ultimately fell flat. I would not pay to see this but if you are so inclined, The Mean One will be opening exclusively at Regal Cinemas nationwide on December 9th.


The Grinch steals a lot more than Christmas in this forthcoming horror parody/sequel to the classic Dr. Seuss yuletide tale. Terrifer 2’s David Howard Thornton plays the titular green meanie while Krystle Martin plays an adult Cindy You-Know-Who out for revenge twenty years later. Director Steven LaMorte’s The Mean One opens in theaters on December 9th.

 It has eight times more vitamin C than an orange, twice the antioxidant power of acai berry, and around 17 times that of a pomegranate. The humble Indian gooseberry, commonly known as amla, truly deserves its superfood status.

What are the Iron Rich Drinks to Boost Your Hemoglobin?

 Pomegranates, also known as Anaar, are famous for their ruby-red tiny edible arils (seeds) and sweet-tart flavour. The fruit’s natural juice and seeds are rich in nutrients that offer multiple benefits. From controlling blood sugar levels to improving memory, pomegranates are a wonder fruit that can be an excellent addition to your diet. Pomegranate juice has a higher concentration of antioxidants, specifically polyphenols, than other fruit juices. It has approximately three times as many antioxidants as green tea or red wine. Because of this, pomegranate juice has the potential to lower low-density lipoprotein, or bad cholesterol, and help safeguard the heart.

Disenchanted (2022) Review

 DON’T LOOK DOWN! (AND DON’T WATCH THIS MOVIE) Survival movies have been around for quite some time and have had mixed results with viewers. Tales of death-defying moments of surviving the unbridled wrath of natural elements, surreal circumstances, and unlucky situations have always been fixed point of fascination with storytelling, leading to one suspense after another and finding thrills within those “fight for flight” moments. Yet, sometimes these films struggle to find a proper balance within its own context, with an unbalanced presentation of trying to focus more on the actual survival sequences (scares, suspense, and thrills) and not much on its characters and story progression. Sometimes narrative can be well-founded within true life events (i.e., based on a true story), while other times some survival accounts were created from fiction. Such prime examples of lates includes 2015’s The Martian, 2015’s Everest, 2016’s The Revenant, 2017’s 47 Meters Down, 2018’s Adrift, 2019’s...
