Rocket Science (2007)
This was an okay quirky drama about a boy with a stutter who was convinced by their high school's leading debater to be her partner in an upcoming tournament.
Well it seems after years of no updates blogger has updated their interface a little and does anyone else find that their homepage only shows one blog post? Anyway this week's TMP comes a little late and I'm simply picking 3 of my most recent watches.
Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
College girl finds out why she has been repeating her days in this sequel. Not as good as the first one but still a fun college horror comedy.
Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018)
Monsters coming out of a sinkhole on a boarding school's ground. I thought this was going to be fun...unfortunately it wasn't really good. Pegg and Frost have been in better horror comedies.

I didn't care for the Happy Death Day sequel after the first one was such a gem. Of your other picks, I've only seen Rocket Science once and I barely remember it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Death Day 2U is decent but I would say missable.
DeleteI haven’t seen my of these but I would like to see the first Happy Death Day and only because it is a comedy
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of these but Rocket Science sounds interesting. Horror movies aren't my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteIn order to narrow down the choices I went with three set at boarding schools.
Mädchen in Uniform (1931)-Still reeling from the death of her mother teenage Manuela (Hertha Thiele) is sent to a German boarding school run by the autocratic Fräulein von Nordeck (Emilia Unda). Grieving and angry Manuela at first keeps to herself but is slowly drawn out of her shell by sympathetic young teacher Elizabeth von Bernburg (Dorothea Wieck). But when Manuela's fondness for her teacher turns into a romantic attachment, it becomes a school-wide scandal. The film caused an uproar upon its release due to its compassionate view towards lesbianism.
The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950)-During World War II St. Swithins all-girls school is evacuated from London to avoid the Blitz. Due to a clerical error the female students and staff are relocated to the Nutborne Boys School. When the headmaster, Wetherby Pond (Alastair Sim) finds out he hits the ceiling but when he realizes there is nothing to be done about it he and St. Swithins headmistress Muriel Whitchurch (Margaret Rutherford) agree to keep their mixed-sex campus a secret to avoid disturbing the parents. However they find it hard to deceive visiting inspectors and hilarity ensues.
A Little Princess (1939)-When the wealthy Captain Crewe (Ian Hunter) is called to serve in the Boer War he places his young daughter Sara (Shirley Temple) in the exclusive Miss Minchin's School for Girls. Everything is rosy for a time but when word arrives that the captain has been killed in action and his property seized Sara, reduced to penury, is forced to become a servant at the school living in a tiny attic room. Belittled and tormented by several of the girls especially the cruel Lavinia (Marcia Mae Jones) Sara believes her father to be alive and haunts the hospitals looking for him.
Well they're horror comedies...so they aren't scary.
DeleteI haven't seen any of these but the last one seems like something thatg I might like.
