Rob Zombie wasn't in the film.

I have a passionate hatred for the Halloween remake. Along with having been a great fan of Carpenter's movie for quite a while, every choice Zombie made, be it characterization (or lack thereof), dialogue, pacing, casting, directing, etc was in poor taste as a horror film, as a remake, and as a film in general. While I'm not opposed to a director leaving his own mark on a film, his style did not mix with the idea of the first one, where Myers isn't human. I could go on and on about how irritating Scout Taylor-Compton is as Laurie, how every character's written practically the same, how many declarative statements Rob Zombie makes which he just shits on and goes the other way, but it tires me after a while. Case in point: Right after this film came out, he said "no sequels" in interviews. Almost literally two years later Rob Zombie's Halloween II is coming out. You know what the saddest thing about it is? I'm probably still going to see it out of curiosity.

I actually think Michael unmasked looks kinda creepy, in all honesty. This beaten, absolutely stern look. I'm not too crazy about Sheri Moon taking a role that's essentially a reversal of Jason and Pamela Voorhees. I also don't like that there are scenes which resemble the original Halloween II (my favorite in the series) in that hospital. Rob Zombie can't help but cop someone else's stuff and claim to be doing something new.

I'm sure this movie will be uhh, interesting.

The Happening - 1/10

This was strike 3 for M. Night Shyamalan as far as I'm concerned. The Village? AWFUL. Lady in The Water? Atrocious. And now THIS piece of shit? Mother of God. I gave it a 1/10, the 1 being for Zooey Deschanel's adorableness. Not even Mark Wahlberg could save this movie. He was actually pretty bad in it.

The only reason people hated The Happening, was because it didnt have a twist. MNS cornered himself in with 6th Sense and Unreakable and now everyone expects him to do all of his movies the same.

The Happening represented a piece of characters life during an event. Its like a sheet out of a novel. Theres really no beginning, really no end, no character development. So the movie is vague in form.

And its then that people start jumping on the bandwagon. I easily rated it at at least 5/10, because it was a bold movie, and a watchable one aswell. Not because of "The day of the triffids" reference of evil-maniac plants, but because it was pretty much out of standard when it comes to 1.5 hour cinematograpgy rules.

I hated it because I thought it was extremely poorly acted and the whole 'WE ARE DESTROYING THIS PLANET' thing is kind of wearing thin. That point is gonna continue to get hammered home and even though we all know what's happening, the human race will never fully adjust to a 'green' world. There have been steps taken, yeah, but sooner or later the planet's gonna die. I just thought the plot as a whole was really lame. I'd rather watch 'An Inconvenient Truth' if I wanted to get preached to.

Dude I saw the village and the happening in theaters like the first or second day they came out...ONLY because I also saw Signs in theaters and it's one of my favorite movies. Little did I know...

Ingmar Bergman's The Hour of the Wolf. The first film I've seen by the late director, and from what I hear the camerawork in this one is similar to his other films. A lot of intimate close-ups, powerfully framed shots, and some surreal images here and there. What really shines though are the characters, especially the protagonist (or the subject, if you will) Johan Borg (played by Max von Sydow, who was apparently in a ton of other Bergman films. You may recognize him as Father Merrin in The Exorcist). The dialogue opens up all of this rich symbolism, through Johan's troubles, his past, how he sees all of these other characters.

Saw Formula 51 last night. Thought it would be a crappy movie but actually got into and couldn't stop watching, probably because I want to see what would happen. Sam Jackson was good in it like most movies he does and was disappointed with the ending.
