Halloween (2007)
A good slasher, but a bad Halloween movie
If you don't look at this as a Halloween movie it's pretty good, but since it is, it's pretty bad. I don't think it was necessary with so much back story, but it was OK i guess. I liked it better when Michael was like a demon or something, now he has a reason for killing his family and that kinda ruins some of the the things that made him scary. I did like however that they didn't make it exactly like the original like how Dr. Loomis actually died in this movie and some other minor things.
Now for the actors... Oh boy, there's a little mix in this movie, but let's start with Mr. Myers. I think they did a terrible choice of him as a kid ( he looks like a girl for crying out loud!) he acted okay, but I would have chosen another one. As an adult... well you would almost think it's Jason and not Michael who's the killer in this one, I mean he's gigantic! Terrible choise. So there was not a good Michael here, but a good murderer. Then there's Dr. Loomis. YES! A great replacement for Donald Pleasence (may he rest in peace). Michael McDowell is the greatest actor in the film, he plays the part perfectly! They probably couldn't had found a better replacement. Finally we have the "main" character Laurie Strode. OK seriously, what the *cencored* kind of choice is this!? Scout Taylor-Compton is the worst actor in the whole movie, the only worse actress would have been Paris Hilton! OK I overexagurated there, but why did Rob Zombie choose her to replace Jaime Lee Curtis? It's painful to watch her scenes and I sat through the whole movie hoping she would die. Unfortunately she didn't as far as I can remember. There are of course a lot of other actors and actresses, but let's say there are some good some average and some more lousy ones.
So even though I dislike many of the actors, I do actually think it's an good movie, just a bad Halloween movie.
Rating: as a Halloween remake I give it 3 out of 10
As a slasher with no connection with the Halloweens I give it 7 out of 10 ( the 5/10 rating is just as a mix between the two above btw)
Go see it if you like slashers, just don't expect a Halloween movie.
The Angry Video Game Nerd (2004)
One of the funniest shows i've seen!
i may be easily amused, but this is awesome!
The acting is great, the humor is perfect!
and of course the special-effects in the later episodes are great for an amateur (although i find it a little wrong calling him an amateur).
It's also interesting to look at bad old games.
and you've got to love the theme song! great work by Kyle Justin.
the guest appearances are funny as s**t! most of them are by Mike Matei.
i recommend this to everyone with a sense of humor.
and i don't think i'm exaggerating when i'm giving it a 10/10. a must see.
