  Barbie as The Princess & the Pauper 2004

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Feb 2024

  People be saying Barbie 2023 got snubbed at the Oscars but WHERE WERE PEOPLE BACK DURING THE OSCAR RUN FOR THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER???!!!

  The Evil Dead 1981

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Feb 2024

  The Spiderwick Chronicles 2008

  ★★★½ Rewatched 29 Aug 2021 3

  The weird thing is that Nick Nolite transforms into a lot of things in this film (he's a shapeshifter!). Yet his most terrifying form is when he's just his human version of himself (it's those eyes!!!)

  I watched this film a lot when I was younger. I had it on DVD and I also read the books too.

  On rewatch years later, I really enjoyed it. It has its faults but this is a forgotten gem that deserves more recognition.…
