Halloween (2007)
The Only Good Thing About This
The Only Good Thing About This is seeing the earlier life of Michael how destructive and resentful he was, and his reasons for going into such a state that makes him slowly become a monster. Watching him slowly drift away from his mothers love to the point where she takes her life after he has proved his bloodthirst in front of her. after that its a overly violent remake of a less violent original.
I have seen the work print and the theatrical release. have to say rob should have stuck with the work print it was what i remember best, and had more a lasting impression than what was the final cut.
as everyone has said "rob stick to your own ideas, not remakes"
Pandorum (2009)
It could have been a video game.
As I recall most video game adaptations are worthless right? oddly this movie should have been a game or make a game similar to this premise.
Pandorum, which was nicely explained in the movie as a space madness, and hence giving the movie its title, the seemingly mutants of this story the first instance you see the shadow on the wall is a nice tip of a hat at Aliens.
in a nice pace between action and story telling which to me doesn't come around as much as it should. all unfolds in flashbacks and word of mouth thru other characters. which is nice combination when nothing but flash backs is tripe. also to note the flashbacks are not overwhelming.
Being the gamer that I am, it felt like a good story of a video game that has never seen the light of day.
I love that the clichés are kept minimal at best.
and the argument between Lt. Payton and Corp. Gallo comes out nice in the big secret payout. Granted it did seem abit obvious but the fluid motion to the finale was nice.
Bottom Line: It was surprisingly something I went into just to get out of the house and was expecting a let down turns out to be a good flick. worth watching definitely, and i hope i am not alone on think this somehow could have been a survival horror video game. or at least this could have been the script for one.
The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009)
Like Ren and Stimpy of rob zombies mind.
Surprisingly it was half way decent. Granted it was made to be corny, debauched, and overall offensive to people who just don't get the joke.
I enjoy the Carrie rip off scene and hearing the backing music to the scene singing "why did you have to rip off carrie". That to me shows that none of this was ever meant to be taken seriously. of course the 1st couple of mins gives away if you didn't get the point is that its all a joke then you wont get it at the end of this.
Granted somethings could have been left out like the direction they went with Velvet Von Black's style of voice (as done by rosario dawson)
I love how Dr. Satan is a joke, unlike the '1000 corpses' take on the character.
And I have to admit as much as i cant stand sherri moon zombie's voice most of the time, for once it seemed to fit in with the character.
bottom line:
Its a beyond slap stick comedy, if your serious about this, you wont get it, if you have a big sense of humor you might just enjoy this.
