It all started with 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey'. That's where we saw the lovable characters from our childhood turn into murderous, wild animals. This apparently struck a chord with people. Because then we saw news about 'Bambi: The Reckoning'. The 'Bambi' adaptation is compared to the likes of 'Cujo' where the deer becomes a mutated killer. Because why not? Lastly, in this trio of flicks guaranteed to tarnish our childhood is 'Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare. This one features a drug addicted Tinkerbell. Buckle up. It's time for 'Caddy Hack'.
All three of these movies were created by the same guy.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield clearly has a knack for turning lovable childhood favorites into monstrous killers. We all know these movies are made to be campy and over the top, but the production quality actually seems to be decent. Well, sort of. We've only seen the trailer for Pooh but it's definitely better than some other horror movies we've seen go straight to DVD. Insert the horror movie 'Frozen' which is not a horror adaptation of the Disney movie.
Now, I'll be honest, horror movies are not my forte. I get scared easily and tend to dream about movies and TV shows I've watched. So I usually avoid them. Especially the realistic ones that are really well done. I'm always down though for a campy horror flick that is good for a few over-the-top deaths and bad jokes. Like 'Cocaine Bear'.
Insert 'Caddy Hack' the play on 'Caddyshack' the 1980's golf classic that saw Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase and more deal with a destructive gopher.
But what if that gopher was murderous? That's exactly what we get in 'Caddy Hack'. Unfortunately, 'Caddy Hack' is not directed by the same guy who did the others. Unfortunately you can tell in the production value. This movie is guaranteed to be even more campy than Pooh, Bambi & Peter Pan combined. And, as expected, it's going to be released straight to streaming and DVD.
I can't say I'd pay to see this film, although the trailer will give you a laugh.
Ranking Fort Myers Publix Stores From Best To Worst
Publix stores are everywhere in SWFL and if you're ever wondered which Publix in Fort Myers might be better than others, I've done the heavy lifting for you.
Much like everyone has the Pub Sub they like best, I'm sure everyone has a Publix they prefer over others. Where I live in Fort Myers, I have 4 of them within just a few miles. One I could walk to if I really wanted (no thank you, Florida sun). But I always go a little further to the "fancy" Publix. The one right at McGregor and Gladiolus. While I can't put my finger on exactly what it is that sets it apart, it has a feel of class to it that I enjoy.
In this day and age everyone has an opinion. Remember the chicken sandwich wars over Chick-fil-A vs Popeye's? And everyone likes to the share it. So here we are with the Publix wars of Fort Myers.
How I Created the Ranking of Publix stores in Fort Myers:
Looking at the Publix website, there are 15 Publix stores in Fort Myers. While I mentioned my favorite above, and I haven't been to every single one, I decided to expand out of my personal feelings. So Google reviews it is. Here they are ranked from best to worst, based on internet reviews. If you want to see the Cape Coral rankings, those are here.
