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: it was only a matter of time before a dilbert - esque office comedy hit the screens .
however , rather than coming from dilbert creator scott adams , office space is instead based on the work of another animator , mike judge , creator of beavis and butthead and king of the hill .
in his live - action directoral debut , judge
aptly spoofs corporate culture .
the story is certainly not very involved , but there is plenty of truth and humor to fill the gaps .
peter ( ron livingston ) is a programmer working at the initech corporation .
every day in his mundane life is worse than the one before .
. . in other words , every day is the worst day in his entire life .
he 's stuck in a boring job with eight different supervisors , all obsessed with administrative trivialities .
he 's smitten with joanna ( jennifer aniston ) , a local waitress , but has n't the guts to even introduce himself .
everything has simply made him a complete , nervous wreck .
but all of that changes when , after an unintentionally over - effective visit to a hypnotherapist , peter loses all of his inhibitions .
he realizes his lifelong dream : to do absolutely nothing .
he begins to blatantly disregard the nonsensical instructions of his boss , bill lumbergh ( gary cole ) , doing whatever he feels like .
peter 's friends and co - workers , samir ( ajay naidu ) and michael bolton ( david herman ) . . .
no , not that michael bolton , are perplexed by their friend 's sudden change in attitude .
but , they have larger things to worry about : rumors about that initech is about to begin downsizing . . . as bleak as much of this sounds , let me assure you that office space is a comedy , and quite a funny one .
although it shares the same absurdist office humor of the dilbert comic strip , office space is actually based loosely on the series of milton cartoons which aired on saturday night life .
each mundane detail , taken by itself , seems completely , regrettably , plausible .
yet , when combined into a whole , the picture which results is absolutely surreal .
ron livingston tackles his role straight - faced , and becomes much funnier because of it .
his character is n't simply being a clown lampooning around the office , but rather seems possessed by a zen - like clarity .
he is operating on a higher plane , where everything suddenly makes sense , and from this vantage point , he allows the audience to smirk at the absurdities of life .
anyone who has had to deal with the inefficiencies of corporate bureaucracy , or who has ever been frustrated with the technology of modern life , will recognize many of the characters and situations in the film .
in fact , in addition to being wildly humorous , the film may actually prove to be cathartic .
the animated roots of office space show in the film 's lack of complexity .
most of the characters in the film can be quickly summarized by a particular personality quirk .
one employee , milton ( stephen root ) , is practically a flesh - and - blood cartoon .
however , despite their simple nature , the characters still manage to be surprisingly funny .
it 's not required to have a corporate background to enjoy this film ( though the situations may seem exceedingly far - fetched if you are unfamiliar with just how close to reality they really are ) .
the film is flimsy and absurd , but also very funny .

Question: i should have known , damn it , i should have known .
ewan mcgregor - codename :
" eye " - is pointing a high - tech rifle - ly gadget at a fat , bald business - oriented american engaging in illicit sexual activities in a window across the street .
we get the requisite electro - green through - the - sight view .
we the audience , seeing a high tech rifle - ly gadget , of course think that eye is going to assassinate the target , but instead , he pulls the trigger and the rifle takes twenty or so hazy , low - quality photographs , which eye then proceeds to fax and e - mail to everyone in his target 's office .
all right , so thirty seconds in , i was slightly befuddled by this seemingly pointless rifle / camera , but i was still open minded .
. .
maybe there 's a really good reason for it .
i 've got reason to believe , you see - i admire a lot of ewan mcgregor 's previous work . . .
and he 's obi
wan ke- friggin - nobi for god 's sake .
and director stephan elliot 's last movie priscilla ,
queen of the desert was a quirky little delight .
there 's some genuine talent involved here .
i think at the twenty minute mark , there was still a spark of hope in my heart .
eye has been assigned to investigate the leader of his organization 's son
( i still have no idea what this organization was - british intelligence ?
national spy ring ?
private investigation ? )
, who is apparently stealing from his trust fund .
he has received his assignment from k .
d .
lang , through an elaborate and expensive teleconferencing briefcase .
when eye tracks his target to an expensive- looking secluded house , he witnesses a mysterious and beautiful woman ( ashley judd ) take a knife out and proceed to stab the poor bastard .
ok , that 's odd , i think to myself , this could be interesting .
then she starts to cry , and through her tears exclaims " merry christmas , dad ! " for the first time .
so begins our tale of obsession .
. .
or . . . something .
the rest of the movie involves ewan mcgregor 's eye character following ashley judd around to every corner of the united states , totally and completely obsessed by this woman from afar .
throughout his entire professional life , he has been a voyeur ; so when he falls for someone , the only way he can handle it is to watch and drool through telescopes and cameras .
fine , that 's a lovely premise , i suppose .
but gosh darn it ,
if you 're going to go there , you better have some sort of explanation .
and that 's precisely where this film fails .
this is the kind of movie that pisses me off .
it 's an abortion , a collection of half - formed and wasted ideas that amounts to absolutely nothing in the end .
it pretends it is something that it is not - a surreal and deep psychological character study wrapped in a high - tech thriller .
here , the filmmakers have confused " surreal " and " deep " with " vaguely unclear " and " crammed full of insultingly obvious metaphors .
"
i never , even for an instant , had the foggiest idea why eye would fall so in " love " with this woman who changes wigs and kills people .
the movie offers only two explanations , neither of which make a lick of sense .
explanation number one : the obnoxious presence of eye 's imaginary daughter , who was taken away from him by his wife some time ago , tells him he should n't leave ms .
judd .
explanation two , which by the end of the film has been beaten into our heads through imagery and dialog and even the title of the movie :
" beauty is in the eye of the beholder .
" whoo hoo , that helps ,
thanks a bunch , case closed .
that 's as deep as it gets , folks .
there is an attempt at an explanation in the final minutes , which , instead of tying everything together , ends up being as profound as a clever sixth - grade mad lib .
there are secondary characters that move in and out of the picture and
serve little or no purpose except to make the audience wonder what the hell the point was .
my personal favorites include : the prison - matron modeled after austin powers ' frau farbissina , who apparently taught ms .
judd everything she knows about wearing wigs
; jason priestley 's awfully played dirty desert vagrant # 1 , who tries to emulate dennis hopper a la blue velvet , but fails miserably ; and the cop - who - sees - ashley - fleeing - an - accident - scene - and- then - wants - to - pay - for - sex-
but - is - shot .
each one in this sad little parade is a little more pointless than the last .
the script pays no attention to the laws of time and space .
any time one of the frequent location changes occurs , the camera zooms in on a souvenir snow globe , and minutes , weeks , or years could have passed .
bewilderingly inane stylistic decisions plague the whole affair - one character passes a glass of cognac to another in a slow - motion close - up awash in a lot of bass .
ewan mcgregor at one point takes up residence in a bell tower just so he could be repeatedly awakened and deafened by the giant bell .
jason priestly starts philosophizing about sharks , then laughs maniacally . . .
cut to random guy with eye patch . . .
iguana out of focus .
. .
iguana comes into focus .
wow , man .
when i found out afterward that this film was based on a novel , it came as no surprise to me .
there are plenty of elements here
that , if extended and fleshed out more , would have made for a decent story .
and i would n't be surprised if i found out there was an hour and a half of footage cut from this movie lying in a landfill somewhere , or waiting in the wings for the dvd special director 's cut . . .
not that anything would ever possess me to purchase such a thing to find out what i was missing .
the last ten or so minutes featured a conversation between the eye and the judd that was supposed to be some sort of revealing exposition .
some guy in the back of the theater was talking on his cell phone , and this time i did n't particularly care all that much because what was happening on the screen was a steaming pile of unholy crap
; the audience around me chuckled and whispered sentiments similar to what i was thinking .
someone near cell - phone - guy did eventually yell , " shut the hell up ! " , but it was a lot funnier when we thought he was talking to the screen .
