I shouldn’t because it’s not their fault but yeah if you’re going to make a blockbuster film then you should be nailing that shit Yeah exactly. They should have enough money to get a person to help them for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Destroyer. 6/10 It was okay. The movie had an interesting structure, the way the story changed and slowly seemed to transform into somethin else was intriguing and since I didn't read anything about the store before watching it, I genuinely wondered what was gonna happen. But it also dragged at times and I sort of felt nothing throughout the whole movie. For some reasing I also just couldn't stop thinking "oh look, they dressed up Nicole Kidman as a bad and ugly cop".

MSandt Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Labor Day. Kate Winslet looks erotic as always but holy shit was the movie melodramatic. And the constant "tense" interruptions as they're trying to leave town started to get really ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 a strange bunch but... Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964) This was recommended to me by a friend and I really did find it intriguing at first. It has a great set up, but really doesn't hold up its 2+ hour long running time. So Bette Davis plays a rich old maid gone crazy after the murder of her boyfriend who actually turned out to be married. Back in the 20s, he broke up with her during a big party in her mansion and was assumed to be the killer. Her estranged cousin, who was there the night of the murder, comes to visit her and tries to turn Charlotte's life around, as she's losing her sanity and yells at everybody. Basically cut out 25 minutes as it would work better as there's too much set up and not enough pay off. I could see this having a modern remake and being pretty good. B- Halloween 6: The Curse of Michal Myers (1995) I have the producer's cut (referred to the 666 cut) which I had never seen. Oh boy, this film is half a mess and actually pretty good in places. Paul Rudd's first starring role too .. well kind of. He's a main character but I'm not sure I'd actually say he's the main character. It would be rather difficult to explain the complex relationships in this film as everybody who wasn't killed in the first film is somehow here and then some. Also to explain Michael Myers and why he does what he does, a cult is basically at the helm of him and that's kind of it. It's pretty convoluted but could of worked if they had properly explained things and narrowed the points down a bit. Also some of the acting is just awful. Still I would recommend if your in the mood for this type of thing. C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 @_Kyle_ yeah H6 is my least favorite Halloween of all, but it's still halfway decent. The cult stuff was just a bit weird. It was a neat idea to have Tommy (Rudd) the original kid who was getting "babysat" have to face Michael again later in life. In order my faves are: H1 H5 H1Z H4 H2018 H2Z H20 H2 RESURRECTION H6 H3 I can dig on it's own, but being the "non-Michael Myers" one of the series, I don't really include it in this list. (And it would be at the bottom anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, 6 does have some bright spots and it's very interesting to compare the different versions. H3 is actually my 2nd favorite.. but I haven't seen 4 or 5. I also skipped all the Rob Zombie ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient #48273 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Devil's Rejects is enjoyable for what it is, but otherwise I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I honestly haven't seen anything beyond corpses and always felt like that he was making movies for bros who wanna watch people get killed. That's never been my bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I didn't mind the gore so much as the over acting and, again, I can't stress enough how much his wife and her stupid voice annoy the fuck out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 not exactly ingrid bergman huh? I don't mind gore, but if the best thing your film has is how people die, then yeah, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 His first Halloween is a brilliant take IMO, love how he actually tackled the backstory. Definitely worth watching. The second one got weird, but I still respect him for making it his own vision. (I actually had a brief convo with him about this, and he said John Carpenter told him “Make it your own!”) H20 is the one with Josh Hartnett or whatever his name is, it ignores H2-H6 and acts as a sequel to H1. (Similar to what the most recent Halloween 2018 just did.) It’s good. Resurrection has Busta Rhymes...nuff’ said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a Meet & Greet after his set at some rock festival I went to ~10 years ago and if you bought his CD you got to meet him and the band for a super quick chat/autograph. I was in film school at the time and being the huge Halloween fan I am, used the opportunity to talk to him about that. He was super cool and asked about my school and the program. John 5 was even nicer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSandt Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Watched the two Anchorman movies, mostly because of Applegate. The first one was decent, not really funny but at least semi-entertaining. Jack Black kicking the dog off a bridge was pretty funny; the movie should have had more violence toward these wicked little creatures. The sequel was just brutally bad and boring with some awful writing (the guy goes blind and movies into a lighthouse???). Applegate had barely any screen time while Will Ferrell is probably the least funny person alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
