Clayton vs. A Haunted House

Hey guys, Clayton here, and it's time for a recent movie review. This time we're taking a look at the spoof comedy known as "A Haunted House" starring comedian Marlon Wayans who co-created the Scary Movie series. Ok, well, according to Marlon, "it's not exactly a parody" and that it's funny characters doing the opposite of what typical white people will do. Does that sound somewhat racist? Never mind, let's go to the plot. The plot is that a young couple Keisha and Malcolm move into a nice looking house when it turns out there is a paranormal entity haunting the facility, and now they must find a way to get rid of it. Now, what are my thoughts? Well, I will admit, this movie is funny, better than the Seltzerberg comedies, but at times the jokes are hit and miss. Let me explain...

What I like about the movie:
What I liked about this movie were some of the jokes. Yes, some of them are hit and miss but manage to get a laugh out of you. In some way it reminds me of the first two Scary Movie films in some way due to the very dirty and raunchy humor. I especially love the parody of the scene from "the Devil Inside", making fun of that piece of crap put a smile on my face.

What I didn't like about the movie:
The problem I had with the movie is that some of the jokes can be too offensive. If MSkull01 can point out the Hardcore Kid making gay jokes, then this movie makes HK's gay jokes look like an act of kindness, because this movie does take it a bit too far. Plus, there's also some racist jokes in the mix so if you get offended easily, I wouldn't recommend it to any one.

Final verdict:
"A Haunted House" may be hit and miss at some points, but the movie as a whole is a pretty funny parody that brings back the days of Keenan Ivory Wayans' Scary Movie 1 and 2. But I will admit, it's not for everyone, if you like parodies, you might like this movie, if not, then you won't like it.

Rating: A medium recommendation: See it if you want to.

Well, that was my review of "A Haunted House", stay tuned for Superfail Month where I take a look at Ang Lee's gamma-bomb, "Hulk". I'm Clayton and prepare for Hollywood to pay the price we HAD to pay.

the Top 13 Films I Forgot to Put in the "Top 13 Most Anticipated Films of 2013"

Hey, guys, Clayton here. And today, I'm here to talk about the movies I forgot to put on the Top 13 Most Anticipated Films of 2013. These are the movies that slipped my mind that I forgot to put them on the list. Now, the movies won't be in any particular order there just in there. So anyway, let's begin.

The Hangover: Part III


Good Lord, why did I forget to mention this? And now for those who don't know, I really love the first Hangover movie and I think it's one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The sequel....was a mixed bag. I will admit, it's not as good as the first movie but I will also admit it has some funny moments. Let's hope that Part III will fix the mistakes of Part II and give the series a good conclusion. Wolfpack unite!

Despicable Me 2


Get ready for a lot of sequels on this list, folks, there's some in this list. Now, Despicable Me was a big surprise for me in 2010. At first, I thought it was going to be a stupid family film, but now, I really enjoy the movie. Now, there is no detail on the plot but we could be expecting more laughs and more Minion mayhem.

Star Trek Into Darkness


I'm not really a big Star Trek fan, but I did enjoy J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek franchise. And from the look of the trailer, this one ought to be bigger and possibly more epic than the first.

the Great Gatsby


Based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald book of the same name, the movie was expected to be released last year on Christmas, but now it will be released in May. Considering the ouvere of Baz Luhrmann, let's hope he does the book justice.

Fast and the Furious 6


For some who saw my Best Films of 2011, I really loved "Fast Five", now with Fast and the Furious 6 now on its way, we will hope for more cars, more action and more races.

Much Ado About Nothing


Based on the William Shakespheare's story, not only am I excited because it is based on Shakespheare's work, and features great actors such as Nathan Fillion, the director and writer of this movie is Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the director/writer of one of my best of last year and one of my favorite movies, "The Avengers" and soon "the Avengers 2". Let's hope this will be another good adaptation Joss can do.

World War Z


Boy, not only are there sequels on this list, but also movies based on works of literature, this particular movie is based on the Max Brooks book and is expected to be an epic battle with the undead.

Pacific Rim


"Hellboy" creator Guillermo del Toro comes back with a movie featuring giant robots battling monsters and looks to be a battle for the ages.

the Wolverine

After the dull mediocraty that was "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", Marvel is attempting to make a new and awesome origin to one of the best X-Men characters of all time. Let's just pray this movie will be better than "X-Men Origins".

This Is the End


The directing debut of Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen looks to be a very funny and very apocolyptic comedy. Also, the movie might possibly have a big assemble of celebrities that could probably be a funny cameo or a big role.

Insidious Chapter 2


For those who didn't know, I personally thought the first "Insidious" was...actually one of the scariest movies I have ever seen in my life. I have been seeing casting calls on YouTube for the movie and who knows who will make it there. Who knows if this will scarier than the first or not.

Anchorman: the Legend Continues


Will Ferrell's most famous role is coming back for another news report. And so far what we got is a really funny teaser trailer and if you're a fan of Ron Burgandy and his crew, we might hope for the best.

and finally...

Saving Mr. Banks


A movie about the life of P.L. Travers and about the making of "Mary Poppins" plus, also featuring the first ever portrayl of one of my inspirations, Walter Elias Disney, played by none other than one of my favorite actors, Tom Hanks. We'll see how the movie will be when it hits theaters near Christmas.

And that's my top 13 films I forgot to put in my last list. I hope ya'll enjoyed it, and if I missed out one movie, I apologize. Anyway, stay tuned for the start of Superfail month, where I take a look at superhero movies that have been claimed to be bad. And also, important announcement, stay tuned for the upcoming blog called "Clayton vs. YouTube" where I take on either bad YouTubers and bad videos. Anyway, this is Clayton saying prepare for Hollywood to pay the price we HAD to pay.
