The Little Mermaid

I watched The Little Mermaid. This one was made in 2016. This movie is available on Tubi and the Roku Channel. It has Rosie Mac, Amber Borzotra, Erin Marie Garrett, Matt Martin, Lee Hudson, Trisha Zarate, and Roxie Blum in it.

Big Warning: bad acting and sad ending. Spoiler Below.

This movie is sorta like the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The little mermaid shows up a guy’s party. She can’t speak. Her voice was taken by the sea witch. The guy is not a good guy. He is drunk and they have sex. Then he leaves her at a diner. The waitress takes her to her boyfriend’s apartment. She finds work at a strip club and befriends a woman there. She later falls in love with the waitress’s boyfriend. The waitress gets jealous. Then the sea witch appears and gives a poison that makes the boyfriend go blind. Then the stripper friend becomes jealous of the little mermaid because she is more successful at the strip club. She ends up sleeping with the boyfriend. The little mermaid sees this and goes to the sea witch who tells her to kill the boyfriend and she will be free. But she doesn’t and she ends up jumping off the balcony and becomes one of the daughters in the air doing good deeds.

Even though there was bad acting, it was a pretty good movie. Next week I’m watching Sleeping Beauty. Not the Disney movie. This one was made in 2017.

Watchers (book)

I finally finished reading Watchers by Dean Koontz. My mother wanted me to read this book. He has written many books. My mother is a fan of his books.

Big Warning: there is lots of violence. Spoiler Below.

In this book, a man named Travis is very depressed and he goes into the woods. (My mother thinks he is going there to commit suicide.) But before he does it, he meets a dog in the woods. The dog was trying to tell him to leave the woods. He hears something in the woods that make them both very scared. The dog goes with Travis. Travis takes care of the dog. He learns that the dog is really smart. Later on they meet a woman named Nora. Nora was emotional abused by her aunt. Her handyman tries to rape her, but the smart dog stops him. Nora and Travis become good friends and later a couple. They teach the dog how to read. Travis and Nora eventually get married. Meanwhile the thing that was in woods is tracking the dog and is killing people and animals. The government is also tracking it. In the end, Travis kills the monster and the dog eventually has puppies with a female dog.

I really liked this book. Now I’m reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins.

The Little Mermaid 2018

I watched The Little Mermaid. This one was made in 2018. It wasn’t made by Disney and it fits closer to the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen. It has William Moseley, Poppy Drayton, Loreto Peralta, Armando Gutierrez, Shirley MacLaine, Lexy Kolker, and Claire Crosby in it.

Big Warning: there is a little bit of violence.

This movie reminds me of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. The storyteller is a grandmother telling her granddaughters a story of a mermaid. The mermaid was part of a freak travelling show. A man named Cam is a journalist and he was sent to do a story about some magic healing water. Plus he wanted to see if the healing water would help his niece. The healing water turns out to be bad. He ends up helping the mermaid escape the freak show.

I loved this movie. Next week I’m watching another The Little Mermaid movie. This one was made in 2016.

The Little Mermaid

I watched the remake of The Little Mermaid. It has Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy, Javier Bardem, Noma Dumezweni, Daveed Diggs, Jacob Tremblay, and Awkwafina in it.

Big Warning: there is a tiny bit of violence.

I had heard many people say how they didn’t like this movie. I wanted to see how bad it is. Yes, I agree with everyone. It is bad. The music was mostly horrible. I found another YMS video of this remake (shared below). I agree with everything he says.

Next week I’m watching another The Little Mermaid movie that was made in 2018.

Lady and the Tramp

I watched the remake of Lady and the Tramp. It was made in 2019. It has Tessa Thompson, Justin Theroux, Sam Elliott, Ashley Jensen, Benedict Wong, Janelle Monáe, Thomas Mann, Kiersey Clemons, Yvette Nicole Brown, Adrian Martinez, and F. Murray Abraham in it.

Even though I’m not a dog person, I always loved the original. They did make a few changes. Darling, the aunt and the baby are black. But it actually was a really good remake. The music wasn’t bad.

Next week I’m watching the remake of The Little Mermaid.

Watchers Reborn

I watched Watchers Reborn. It is loosely, loosely, loosely based on the book by Dean Koontz. Yes, I’m still reading the book. The movie has Mark Hamill, Lisa Wilcox, Stephen Macht, Gary Collins, Lou Rawls, and Bob Clendenin in it.

Big Warning: Some violence. Spoiler Below.

There is no Travis in this movie. There is a Lem Johnson, but he is white in the movie. In the book, Lem is a black man. Einstein first meets a zoo worker in the movie. Then the Outsider kills him. (In the book, The Outsider does kill zoo animals.) Then the dog meets a cop who doesn’t really want to keep him. His partner though keeps Einstein for a short while until the Outsider kills him. Murphy, the cop who didn’t want the dog, ends up keeping Einstein. Einstein is hurt and Murphy calls a woman who was a scientist at the lab that Einstein was at. It is discover later on The Outsider can talk. The creature takes Grace (the scientist) hostage. The Outsider ends up sacrificing to save them from getting killed by Lem.
(I don’t think The Outsider can talk in the book.)

I am on chapter seven and there are 11 chapters in the book. The book is much more better than these movies.

Next week I’m watching Lady and the Tramp. It’s a remake that was made in 2019.

Damsel

My mother was wanting us to watch movie over the weekend. I decided to watch Damsel on Netflix. It has Millie Bobby Brown, Ray Winstone, Angela Bassett, Brooke Carter, Nick Robinson, Robin Wright, Milo Twomey, and Nicole Joseph in it.

Big Warning: there is some violence. Spoiler Below.

In this movie, a kingdom was having some hardships. Lord Baylord gets a letter from Queen Isabelle that his oldest daughter can marry her son. So they leave and Elodie is set to marry Prince Henry. But the marriage comes with a price of being a pawn for a dragon. Elodie learns the truth from the dead princesses and she shows kindness to the dragon. The dragon gets revenge and Elodie and the dragon sets off to her old kingdom.

My mother and I loved this movie.

Watchers III

I watched Watchers III. It is loosely, loosely, loosely based on the book by Dean Koontz. It has Wings Hauser, Gregory Scott Cummins, Daryl Keith Roach, John Linton, Lolita Ronalds, Ider Cifuentes Martin, Frank Novak, Carlos Gonzales, and
Alex the Dog in it.

Big Warning: there is lots of violence.

This movie is a sequel to the sequel Watchers II. In this sequel, Paul (not Travis as in the book) is sent to prison for his crimes in the military. While he is in prison, the government lets out Einstein (the dog) and The Outsider in the jungle. The Outsider kills some people and the dog finds a boy. Einstein protects the boy. A man who Paul worked for asks him to go to the jungle with some other ex-military inmates to find out some documents that was left there. Paul is reunited with Einstein and they end up killing the new Outsider. This one is not a monkey. It’s looks more like the monster from Predator (which I never seen, but heard about).

I didn’t really like the movie since it wasn’t like the book. Next week I’m watching Watchers: Reborn. It’s a fourth movie. No, it’s not like the book.

Watchers II

I watched Watchers II. It is loosely, loosely, loosely, loosely based on the book by Dean Koontz. I am currently reading the book. It has Marc Singer, Tracy Scoggins,
Jonathan Farwell, Irene Miracle, Tom Poster, Joseph Hardin, Don Pugsley, and
Tommy Hinkley in it.

Big Warning: there is some violence.

This movie wasn’t really not like the book. The only correct thing was the dog’s name. In this movie, the man’s name is Paul not Travis as in the book. He wasn’t married in the book. The Outsider (monster) looked like an anteater. It was gross looking and fake looking. There was no woman in the lab taking care of the dog.

I didn’t really liked this movie. Next week I’m watching Watchers III.
