It's All Hallow's Eve, and that means its time for Vicky, Nolan and Jill to return to the spookiest scariest happiest ...well, a place on Earth, at least. Kinda, guess it's not really on Earth either. In any case, it's a place with a lot of sunshine and rubber masks, so it can only mean we watched HALLOWEENTOWN II: KALABAR'S REVENGE. Only this time, the rubber masks are put away and the sunshine is dulled by a grayscale palate. Look, these Halloweentown movies are contradictions in and of themselves, and our hosts have enough time parsing why some of us loathe them beyond measure and some of us enjoy them. Sigh. At least Debbie Reynolds is still in this one. 

Leaves are crunching underfoot and the smell of pumpkin spice is in the air, and you know what that means D-Lovers: time to watch some lousy Disney TV Movies because they haven't made enough theatrically released Halloween films! This year we're kicking things off with the House of Mouse's first attempt at turning a ride into a movie with TOWER OF TERROR. A story about a child murder plot (in that a child was both the victim and the murderer) anchored by a barely-there Steve Guttenberg and a very present Kristen Dunst, all set in a spooky Hollywood Hotel which for some reason was allowed to remain abandoned for sixty years rather than bought up and redeveloped. And that's just the beginning of this strange tale! 

This week's movie gets filed under both subgenre "horse movie" and subgenre "war movie" in the Disney canon. But despite those promising categories, MIRACLE OF THE WHITE STALLIONS is dry like a cracker...though still not altogether unpleasant. It's sort of like the dressage style tricks the titular White Stallions do (in multiple extended sequences) - we understand that there's supposed to be something cool and impressive about it, but it just isn't quite coming through. Just like how we understand the lead of this movie is meant to be Austrian, but he's just coming off as corn-fed Nebraskan. 

Sometimes, D-Lovers, you hope against hope that something that looks like a duck and quacks like a duck just isn't a duck. In this case, we looked at Disney's THE DEVIL AND MAX DEVLIN and hoped that just because it's a Ron Miller-led 80s movie pre-Touchstone, and just because it stars Elliott Gould (who we've already learned isn't really "on-brand" for Disney as a leading man), and just because *sigh* Bill Cosby is also in it, that somehow it might not be as bad as it looks on paper. Turns out, it might be worse. 

It's the end of an era here on We Want The D as we bid farewell to one of the brightest Disney stars who has faded all too quickly. CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN may not be Lindsay Lohan at her best (especially when Mean Girls came out the same year), but there's a charm to this movie that our hosts can't deny. Maybe it's Alison Pill putting in work as the plain best friend; maybe it's the stylized-if-inconsistent directorial vision; maybe it's the most insane wardrobe collection we've seen to date. Whatever it is, it made for quite the send-off for our dear LiLo (no, not the little Hawaiian girl).
