“Decent story & characters, but it fails to deliver the laughs.”


Ruben Fleischer's zombie flick may have been cheap at a mere $23,600,000 but its $59,936,321 profits are ludicrous in comparison to how poor the movie was. And no, it's not because the reason why the zombies exist isn't heavily focused on, or the too short cameo by BM, or even the pathetic 81 minute...

“They should've destroyed the Kaaba at Mecca.”


Roland Emmerich has always loved disaster movies, as is evident from "ID-4" (1996), "Godzilla" (1998), "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004), and now "2012" (2009). Critics both professional and amateur continuously blast him for relying too much on digital effects to make his movies with typical dialogue...

“Stop acting like a f#$k%&g queer!!!”


Inspired by the John Ronson book about the real life attempt by the CIA to initiate a military program to train psychic soldiers called MK-ULTRA, which aimed to accomplish the following list of goals: 1) Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the rec...

“A fun popcorn flick which follows an interesting prologue. ”


Three years after the monumental success of "H20" (1998) by horror sequel standards, Moustapha Akkad returned to the Halloween franchise for what would be the final time. His son for whatever reason had the idea in his head that the 'kids of today' liked Busta Rhymes, so I take it this wasn't th...

“Take a walk down memory lane...twenty years later.”


As the story goes, in 1997 someone mentioned to Jamie Lee Curtis that the following year would mark the twentieth anniversary of Jamie being in the movie business, and Jamie interpreted this as being a good time to return to the Halloween franchise. She commissioned Kevin Williamson to write it afte...

The Feature:

“The climax of the 'Halloween Trilogy' puts a mix of the supernatural & satanic to Michael's madness, and it was the worst idea concievable for the franchise.”


So after Moustapha Akkad & company acknowledged the cinematic failure that was "The Revenge of Michael Myers" (1989) they revealed two things: 1) BOR doesn't matter to them as much as fans do, and 2) They're willing to take time away from something that's not working to rethink it before retackling ...

“Moustapha Akkad luckily didn't have to roll over in his grave for this one.”


After the unexpected success of "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" (1988), the producers got box office happy and ordered up a sequel for Halloween 1989. While this can easily be done, as we've seen with countless franchise flicks, Moustapha Akkad made the unforgiveable mistake of recruiting...

“The only sequel in the franchise to capture the same Midwestern feel to the originals that maintained a genuine sense of macabre, eeriness, and proper humor throughout.”


Since the third installment in the 'Halloween' franchise was a flop, John Carpenter & Debra Hill (RIP) officially severed ties with the series, selling the rights to producer Moustapha Akkad (RIP) who went on to be called Mr. Halloween as he produced 5 more sequels on his own including this one. Mad...
