All Girls Weekend (2016)
One of the best indie horror movies I've seen in a while.
I watch a lot of indie movies, and a lot of them horror. I saw some reviews on here, and I realize that these "critics" obviously do not so I had to chime in. One guy is comparing it to "Twilight" Really? Twilight was made for hundreds of millions of dollars, so how can you possibly compare it to that? This is an indie movie, and if you watch more than just a couple you know how painful sometimes they are to watch. This was not painful at all. Acting is pretty good and the story is strong and deliberate. It has a couple of twists I wasn't expecting. The setting is beautiful and, hey, it even has a bear! My only pet peeve is that I wouldn't call this horror. I would say it's more of a thriller, but I know that film distributors these days do marketing campaigns that are very deceptive. Don't be fooled by the poster, because nothing like that remotely happens.
Grimm (2011)
Watch only the first couple of seasons
I watched this series from beginning to end, but mostly because I wanted to know where it was going to end. The first couple of seasons were very entertaining, and you were very much rooting for our hero the entire time. I'm not really sure where it happened, but somewhere along the line, they ran out of ideas and the show became a bit of a Melrose Place situation. Our hero loses his love when she is transformed into one of the creatures he is fighting, but then falls in love with one of his mortal enemies who killed his mother????? What???? And only because she got pregnant while posing as his girlfriend. I had no idea that men could be that forgiving the moment that a woman gets pregnant. The whole thing was sort of ridiculous but to top it off, now you're supposed to root for a character that you hated for the previous seasons. It's not that bad characters cannot become good, but it should take something more than just getting pregnant for them to redeem themselves. I watched the rest of the series just out of curiosity and because there's not a lot on Friday nights, but seriously it was painful to watch at times.
