question:
the film starts out with a creepy opening sequence to which has the now classic and creepy score by writer / director / producer john carpenter who in my mind is a brilliant director , he really is .
he wrote this film , he directed this film , he produced this film and he made the excessively creepy score to this film .
i think he is and always will be famous for this classic which after 21 years has not lost it 's popularity
or it 's ability to scare the wits out of people .
i think i have seen ' halloween ' over 100 times and each time i find something new and brilliant , and each time i am scared even though i know what is going to happen
.
i own three different versions of the film : a vhs regular version that came with a limited edition 20th anniversary t - shirt , a boxed edition vhs in a hardcover case digitally re - mastered with the original theatrical widescreen presentation , in a nifty plastic picture decorated box with a numbered snow - globe .
in other words
i am completely and utterly obsessed with the film .
it has changed horror movies forever and spawned six sequels with only 2 , 4 , and 7 being truly good .
it also spawned several cheap imitations of the film that were offensive in some ways to a true halloween fan .
since i heard about halloween being released on dvd in a limited edition of 30 , 000 copies , i knew i had to buy one no matter what !
i did and man
to me
it 's the best dvd ever manufactured with the brilliance of the film
.
no words can describe the dvd .
in ' halloween ' michael myers is a evil person whom killed his sister in cold blood 16 years ago in 1963 .
now in 1978 grown up and in a mental hospital michael myers escapes to go back to his hometown of haddonfield , illinois , followed by his past doctor sam loomis .
the person michael is targeting is laurie strode who is played by jamie lee curtis in her film debut .
why is he stalking her ? check out halloween
ii
it explains it all .
on this unholy night on october 31 , 1978 laurie strode and her two friends are going to have the time of their lives , which is trying to stay alive .
the whole film is filled with terrifying moments most coming from just seeing michael myers walk .
nick castle who played the shape in the first movie did an incredible job , and no other person in any other halloween flick can do what he did .
what john carpenter did in 1978 is made a ground - breaking new film , with scares , wit , and style .
the movie is flawless if not perfect .
no other movie or sequel has lived up to this one , and in my opinion never will .
'
halloween ' will be like ' psycho ' and
still be extremely popular even almost 40 years later
.
i just hope someday ' halloween ' will be released in a new dolby soundtrack with the 4 extra scenes on the dvd edition .
' halloween ' is n't just another slice - and - dice horror flick ,
it 's an intelligent , horrifying and best film experience ever made .
see ' halloween ' and be scared . . . .
then watch it again ! reviewed by brandon herring october 7 , 1999 .

question:
this is the worst movie i 've viewed so far in 98 .
the avengers = silly = man dressed in a bowler hat + woman wearing tight leathers
> evil scientists dressed in teddy bear suits + greater evil , sir august de wynter wearing kilt .
the question is what could have gone wrong with a potentially great idea with big name cast ?
the same question was probably asked of last year 's stinker batman and robin .
i feel the production got a little too smug ,
the script a little to smart and direction was somehow lost in the chaos of random events that collided together to form a movie .
my greatest criticism rests on the fact that there was no chemistry between emma peel and john steed ( thurman and fiennes ) ?
something that was a vital element of the 60 's tv serial of the same name .
the dialogue goes on and on about tea and other finer british perks , but does not allow much room for character development and interaction , except to perhaps grate on the viewer 's nerves .
one wonders why the dynamic pair bother kissing in the end except for pure english formality .
connery as sir august , does not fair better than thurman or fiennes .
his dialogue is as erratic as stormy weather , mostly embarrassing and poor quality .
if there is a movie you would prefer never to see , i believe the avengers would be a good choice .
for one thing , you will not have to witness a product that is far inferior to the three high profile names that is associated with the title .
i can not understand how something
so poorly produced could have been released , but i put it down to one of those freak happenings in nature , like lightning you ca n't see it coming until it hits you .

question:
you 'd think it would be easy to spoof star trek , but try spoofing it without cruelly mocking it .
that 's a bit more difficult .
the farfetched sci - fi series is , after all , enormously popular , what with its gigantic fan base and ongoing installments both on television and in movies .
if you 're not nice to it , you lose .
galaxy quest is to star trek what mel brooks 's spaceballs was to star wars ,
an affectionate , riotously funny parody that freely takes jabs at various elements of its subject but never seems mean - spirited or malintentioned .
"
the show 's been cancelled , but the journey is far from over .
"
that is the current tagline of " galaxy quest , " a star trek - type show that 's no longer produced but lives on forever in reruns .
it also lives on in conventions , gatherings of the show 's obsessive fans who never fail to dress in " galaxy quest " costumes and ask absurdly logical questions about its delirious technobabble .
jason nesmith
( tim allen ) played " commander peter quincy taggart " on the show and is the only one of the cast who still gets excited about the gigs they have to do .
the attitudes of the rest -- tommy webber ( daryl mitchell , gwen demarco ( sigourney weaver ) , fred kwan ( tony shalhoub ) and alexander dane ( alan rickman ) -- range from indifference to utter contempt .
dane , who played a spock - like alien , is especially disgusted , considering himself above his demeaning job and stubbornly refusing to recite his character 's cheesy trademark line " by grabthar 's hammer , you shall be avenged " ( or something like that ) for his die - hard fans .
one day , nesmith is greeted by an especially fanatical group of " galaxy quest " followers .
they are actually aliens from a planet known as thermia .
they have mistaken the " galaxy quest " episodes for historical documentation of actual heroic space travel .
the next day , the thermians whisk nesmith away to a spaceship to help them defeat the evil sarris ( named , in one of the film 's only mean - spirited gags , after village voice film critic andrew sarris ) .
nesmith thinks it is only an elaborate gig , and sort of blows it off , but when he is transported -- or i should say shot -- back to earth in a rather celestial manner , he believes .
next thing the cast knows , they are being dragged by nesmith to this spaceship .
of course , they all think he is out of his mind
and once he does convince them that there really is a spaceship , what they want to do is get out of there as fast as the transporters will take them .
but after some persuading , they stay on to fight the icky sarris and find a way to provide a peaceful existance for the flailing thermians .
i was quite surprised how well this comedy , which came off as utterly brainless from its marketing campaign , worked .
taking shots at both the obvious and not - so - obvious elements of star trek and its fandom , galaxy quest never goes for cheap laughs , opting instead for broad but smart parody .
nothing is safe -- not the cliches , not the fans , not the absurd taglines -- but on the other hand , everything is safe , since galaxy quest treats its subject with utter respect and sometimes even subtle admiration .
the highlight of the movie is tony shalhoub 's fred a .
k .
a . tech sergeant chen who , when in character , is the complete opposite of scotty from the original star trek .
while scotty , who was the technician for the enterprise would constantly yell " i need more power down here captain ! " ,
chen 's cry for help is more to the tune of " the core , like , wo n't take it or something .
" it 's a hoot , but it does n't stop there :
weaver , whose character has the menial task of repeating everything the computer says and rickman , with his relentlessly holier - than - thou attitude are n't far behind .
galaxy quest succeeds as a funny parody of star trek and while it 's not a masterpiece -- it tends to falter in its more serious moments --
it is immensely entertaining fluff and excellent counterprogramming to all the sober oscar contenders being released this holiday season .
by grabthar 's hammer , this is a hell of a movie .
