      The whole process is to see through the shoes and bags

      Is there anyone like me who has been watching the male protagonist's outfits throughout the whole process, corduroy coat, Harris coat, sweater and shirt with a small bow tie, coveting the same style of pajamas, and did not miss the bedding and furniture, staring at the school boy's plaid Converse shoes under the shirt and jeans are eye-catching. The mechanical doll is very hilarious. The chair and the lion are not the cats and dogs in the house. The furniture scene arrangement is so rich and...

      A disappointing movie

      Listed the November film list early and planned to watch it one by one.

      Watching "The Tick House", I should be regarded as a relatively "pure" audience. I have basically never seen the works of the Great Demon King, nor the works of Jack Black. Except for the dubbed "Kung Fu Panda", it is only for fantasy with children. , interested in magical works. After watching it, I felt very disappointed.

      In terms of acting skills, none of the child actors are up to the standard. I feel...

      What are the terrifying details of "The Tick House"?

      Last night, the circle of friends was swiped by various COS costumes for Halloween. Except for the various COS photos of "female friends" (boys didn't seem to see much), the most amazing is probably the costumes of White Snake and Green Snake. Well, this is Chinese style.

      And today is the real Halloween. There's also a new movie, "The Tick House," in theaters, apparently...

      What are the terrifying details of "The Tick House"?

      The most thoughtful thing is to invite such a big-name actor to come out with such a **** movie.

      The scary thing about this movie is that you walk out of the theater with an indifferent face after watching it and go home at night before going to bed, trying to recall the details of this movie that are worth aftertaste, but you find that there is nothing, it's really scary

      Seriously, let’s talk about it: the plot is poor, the logic is on the same level as the new Predator, the...

      Check in Kripke~ Mom's feelings and orphans/brothers' blackening feelings are all alive XD It's really the feeling of putting a single episode into a movie with special effects. There are some loopholes, the climax is too perfunctory, and some places are too disgusting and scary for children to watch . (Children's acting is so...

      I might be surprised to see Kate paired with Mr. Black in another movie. But please, this is a Halloween movie... It's not that Xiao Zhengtai is not cute, it's just that her acting is not...

    Evaluation action

    "The House with a Clock in its Walls" is not a big bad movie, but it certainly won't be the audience's top ten choice of the year. In the face of mediocre quality, exquisite acting skills, mashup attempts, and sensational strength are inevitably compromised   . In addition to so many interesting Halloween elements, the film is also a very heart-warming magical story. The film is packed with gorgeous magic visual effects and exquisite...
