Halloweenthon Day 4 Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers is directed by Dwight H. Little and stars Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Michael Pataki, and George P. Wilbur. Plot Ten years after his original massacre, the invalid Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur) awakens on Halloween Eve and returns to Haddonfield to kill his seven-year-old niece (Danielle Harris). Review A little history about this movie... After the disappointment of the fans after Halloween III , they brought Michael back for this one. So what if we saw him burn to death? Money has magical healing powers. This goes for Loomis too. And this is the last good Halloween movie until ten years later with H20 , but we'll talk about that later. This is a really good Halloween sequel in my opinion, it's not my favorite sequel, but it's really good. So the reason Michael is after Jamie is because she is the daughter of Laurie, we learned in Halloween II is Michael's sister. Bu...

Halloweenthon Day 3 Halloween III: Season of the Witch is directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and stars Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, and Dan O'Herlihy. Plot An apparent murder-suicide in a hospital emergency room leads to an investigation by the on-call doctor, which reveals a plot by an insane toymaker to kill as many people as possible during Halloween through an ancient Celtic ritual involving a stolen boulder from Stonehenge and Halloween masks. Review 8 more days until Halloween , Silver Shamrock! Well, technically we have 20 days until the holiday, but 8 until the new movie. When this came out in 1982, fans hated it because it didn't have Michael Myers in it, but the hate has died down and it is now a cult film among Halloween fans. When I first watch this a couple of years ago, I didn't think it would be that good since Michael wasn't in it, but after watching it, I actually did like it. I mean it's not as good as 1, 2, 4 and H20 , but those 4 and this ...

Halloweenthon Day 2 I love the "ALL NEW" on the poster. Halloween II is directed by Rick Rosenthal and stars Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Charles Cyphers, Pamela Susan Shoop, Lance Guest, Leo Rossi, and Dick Warlock. Plot After Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) shoots Michael Myers (Dick Warlock) six times and falls off a balcony. Michael escapes and continues his massacre in Haddonfield, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is also sent to a hospital and Dr. Loomis gathers a group of cops to hunt down Michael and put an end to his rampage. Review This is probably my favorite sequel in the Halloween franchise. You really have to watch the first one to understand this one, because in this one there's not much explanation to what happened that night, and it's best watched back-to-back with the original Halloween , but to me it does feel like a natural progression of what would happen on that night. It's got some weird stuff that's happened off-screen,...

Halloweenthon Day 1 Halloween is directed by John Carpenter and stars Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Loomis, P. J. Soles, Charles Cyphers, and Nick Castle. Plot Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers (Nick Castle) escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield to kill again. Review I don't know what to say about Halloween that hasn't already been said, it's a classic. It's one of the greatest horror films ever made. This may be my favorite horror film, I don't know, there are others I love, but this is definitely one of them. What I love about this movie is that it doesn't focus on the blood and the gore and the sex and just focuses on the suspense and the atmosphere, which Rob Zombie didn't get the memo about, but I'll get to that when I get to that. This movie's ending opened up the door for sequels, and just a few of them were good. One sequel was so g...

So, I just did my spoiler free review of Venom , and now I'm going to talk about spoilers for Venom . The plothole I mentioned in the main review is that in the beginning the evil Symbiote (sorry if I don't know it's name) is possessing this old woman and it's goal is to get to San Fransisco, and it arrives six months later. Um, what was it doing all that time? It could've just gone immediately. Also, that old woman gives the evil symbiote to a little girl, and I'll bring this up later. So Eddie is a reporter, and when he tries to take down Drake (the villain) by accusing him of killing test subjects after snooping on his fiance's (Michelle Williams) laptop, he gets fired for this, which also gets her fired, so she breaks up with him and Eddie starts living in a junk apartment in Chinatown. So one of Drake's workers brings Eddie into the laboratory where their testing the symbiotes on homeless people, and one of them happens to be a friend of Edd...

I'm back. Venom is directed by Ruben Fleischer and stars Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Reid Scott, and Jenny Slate. Plot Journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is trying to take down Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), the notorious and brilliant founder of the Life Foundation. While investigating one of Drake's experiments, Eddie's body merges with the alien Venom -- leaving him with superhuman strength and power. Review This movie isn't a turd in the wind like I thought it would've been, but it's not as good as it could've been. Let's start with the positives. The movie was entertaining, I'll give it that, like when Venom verbally abuses Eddie, but that does lead into a negative that I'll get into later. It's fun but not really great. Seeing Venom fighting that other Symbiote near the end was pretty cool. Seeing Venom fighting bad guys for the first time was pretty awesome. Tom Hardy is a better Venom than Topher Grace was...

Predatorthon Day 6 The Predator is directed by Shane Black and stars Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Jacob Tremblay, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Sterling K. Brown and Keegan-Michael Key. Plot When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe's most lethal hunters' return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race. Review I don't think Shane Black gets  Predator , which is sad because he was in Predator . Predator 's not all about jokes, I mean the original Predator had jokes, but they weren't all the time or anything. Shane was probably like "ok, so I'll take the traits from my character in Predator , and give it to every character" and it just doesn't work. MCU humor should only stay in the MCU. Also, Shane Black directed Iron Man 3 . There are more bad Predator movies than there are good Predator movies, unless you don't count the Alien vs. Pre...
