I’m getting a kick out of the people who are trying to provide Rob Zombie professional criticism regarding The Munsters, and likewise for the writers and vloggers who want to take digs at it and make fun of it – it’s all very cute. I don’t hold myself in higher regard to my peers, but I know a lark when I see one. And, Rob Zombie’s family-friendly seasonal comedy The Munsters is a big, fat,…
The Bad Guys is a big screen adaptation of a popular book series for kids, perhaps to tide over the Diary of a Wimpy Kid crowd.
