Day Shift

“Day Shift” is 2022 Netflix original Action/Comedy starring Jamie Foxx (The Soloist), Dave Franco (Unfinished Business), Meagan Good (The Intruder), Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder), Steve Howey (Shameless), and Snoop Dogg.

A down on his luck L.A. vampire hunter (Foxx) has a week to come up with some fast cash to pay for his daughters braces and tuition. When he kills and defangs an older vampire, he unknowingly causes a chain of events that results in a much more powerful vampire coming after him. Not only that but he is stuck with a union worker (Franco) assigned to watch his every move.

This movie is star studded. Jamie Foxx is a brilliant actor and Dave Franco is one of the funniest guys in Hollywood. So, them teaming up together to hunt vampires, you know it’s going to be good. Plus, you get to see the Dogg father himself hunt vampires, where else are you going to see that? “Day Shift” has the perfect blend of action and comedy to make it a great watch. Don’t get me wrong it is plenty violent with them killing and defanging vampires, but with the comedic relief it makes it a pretty lighthearted action film that will appeal to most. I give it a 7/10.

Addams Family (2019)

To say I was apprehensive about this film is an understatement. I was a kid when the 1991, and 1993 ones came out, so I saw them quite a bit over the years. I was worried this cartoon version wouldn’t capture the essence of ‘The Addams Family’, and was just more of a marketing and money making ploy than anything. It has a great cast with Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, IT), Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, Carrie), Charlize Theron, and even Snoop Dogg as cousin it.

The movie was better than I thought it would be, and I was pleasantly surprised. They give several nods to the previous films. There’s jokes that only the adults understand, that will keep them from getting bored, while the kids still love it. It’s a great family film, if you’re looking for a good Halloween film to take the kids to, this one is for you.
