at a friends house yesterday, and for the sake of their kid, got in some more kid friendly fare
10. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown - something i haven't seen in years, and upon rewatching yesterday, i realized, a lot of the things these kids say and do is awful mature for the age they're supposed to be lol
11. Goosebumps - based (very loosely) on R.L. Stines series of books, this movie finds the author living under an assumed name in a small town, it turns out that he writes everything on a magic typewriter that somehow brings all his monsters to life, which are then locked up in special books to contain them. due to a series of circumstances, said creatures get loose, and havoc is wreaked. this is a comedy, which was an interesting way to take it, but it wasn't too bad. jack black is Stine, and i can't say i recognized too many others, except the new kids aunt, played by the woman from Workaholics and other comedy fare, who is an interesting choice to stick in a kids movie, considering her usual style, which was somewhat toned down, but still present. there was a funny joke or two about Stephen King, and at one point the author rails on about how he's definitely a better writer than King. i can only hope that was a screenwriter being silly and not what the real Stine thinks. there was also what i'm assuming was a cameo by Stine at the end (i don't know what he looks like off hand, and it was very quick), in the form of newly minted temp english teacher Stine greeting drama teacher Mr. Black (black plays stine, stine plays black). it's not cinematic brilliance, but it's a good time, and one of the more bearable things the young ones in your life can make you sit through.
