Halloween (2007) review

Today I am also reviewing less recent movies!  I am reviewing Rob Zombie's Halloween movies!  And here is the first one.  Say what you want about this movie, but I fucking love it!  It works for me as both a fun slasher movie and a hilarious comedy!  And honestly, I prefer this over the original 1978 version!  Why is that exactly?  It is a lot more fun than the original, and it is really not a carbon copy of the original during the first half!  The second half isn't a complete carbon copy either though!  Although it does show a few moments from the original film, it does have it's own twists in it!  I respect Rob Zombie for making this his own movie instead of copying the original scene from scene!  This movie is far more of a psychological horror film than the original film too, which is something I loved as well!  I also loved how this movie really dug deep into the character of Michael Myers!  This movie did a lot of things I absolutely loved!  Now let's get into my favourite thing about this movie, the kills!  The kills are raw, bloody, and brutal!  Every time Michael Myers kills a person, it was some intense stuff!  This is by far the most brutal film in the whole franchise!  I also really loved Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis, he gave the best performance in the whole movie besides Tyler Mane as Michael Myers.  If I have any negatives with the movie, it has to be the first 10 minutes or so.  The first 10 minutes of the movie had some of the most painfully awful dialogue I have ever heard!  But thankfully, the rest of the movie was so great (in my opinion) that it made up for it!  Rob Zombie's Halloween is a solid horror remake, it has awesome kills, awesome performances from Malcolm McDowell and Tyler Mane, and it has a very intriguing story involving Michael Myers! But the first 10 minutes or so was pretty bad!  Fun fact:  The little girl from Halloween 4 and 5 plays Laurie Strode's friend in this movie!

Grade: A
Run time: 122 min
MPAA:  Rated R for strong brutal bloody violence and terror throughout, sexual content, graphic nudity and language
Studio: Dimension Films

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice review

I honestly do not get the hate for this movie!  I think this movie really works as a superhero movie!  Seriously, I actually love this movie!  This movie had awesome action sequences, good performances (for the most part), and Ben Affleck kicks ass as Batman!  Let's get this straight, Rotten Tomatoes is sometimes very harsh with movies, sometimes even more so than Metacritic, and I think Metacritic is a terrible website!  This movie has a fucking 27% on Rotten Tomatoes!  This movie is not that bad!  This movie was quite excellent and it may end up on my honorable mentions for best movies of 2016!  Before you hate me for saying that, remember, this is my opinion!  Now I didn't care for this movie when I first saw it, but I ended up buying the blu-ray and watching it a few more times and I gotta say, yeah, this movie got better and better every time I watched it!  The special effects for this movie are fantastic, the action was top notch!  And people are complaining about Batman killing people in this movie, but I honestly didn't care, I just liked seeing Batman kicking some ass again!  And my problems with this movie, I have to say that Superman isn't as interesting in this movie as he was in Man of Steel, and Jesse Eisenberg is absolutely AWFUL as Lex Luthor!  So anyways, Batman V Superman was a solid superhero film, Batman was badass, Superman has his moments but didn't stand out, the action was amazing, but Jesse Eisenberg was terrible as Lex Luthor, and I forgot to mention that after Batman and Superman's fight, the conclusion was very forced and idiotic!  Overall, Batman V Superman is a good film!

Grade: A-
Run time: 151 min
MPAA:  Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
