The 'Not-So-Critical' Critic:
The Quick of It -
Jack is back, and it’s one you might not want to miss. He stars as R. L. Stine in director’s Rob
Letterman’s GOOSEBUMPS. This clever
tale has all the monsters of Stine’s past stories sealed in the books in his
library, just waiting for someone to come along and ‘accidentally’ release them
on the world. Letterman has worked with
Black twice before, SHARK TALE and GULLIVER’S TRAVELS, and the pairing still
works. Black plays the neurotic writer
with flare and fun, cementing this kids tale as one of the best feel-good
movies in a while. Dylan Minnette (of
PRISONERS, LET ME IN, and ALEXANDER AND THE BLAH.. BLAH… BLAH… (that damn long
title…)) is still pushing up in the rookie ranks of Hollywood with Odeya Rush
(of THE GIVER and THE OFF LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN) close on his heels. And if you still question my opinion, just
know that Black voices the sinister puppet ‘Slappy’, sounding just like Mark
Hamill’s Joker voicework. You can’t go
wrong.
