If you could ignore the fact that it was a film called "Halloween" and that the character was Michael, then the first 1/2 had some decent moments. But the second it turns into a Readers Digest version of the original, excluding all the suspense and character development, it just becomes beyond pathetic. Plus, Zombie proves he has NEVER heard people speak to each other before, as the dialogue is just terrible.

Watched Gangs of New York on IFC last night. I think I enjoyed it more the 2nd time around. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing.

 

He's amazing in everything. That year Adrien Brody won Best Actor for the Pianist. It could have gone either way (that year was actually fairly stacked for actors), but I'm sure the fact that the Pianist was about a Jewish man surviving the Holocaust put Brody over the top.

 

And that Boondock Saints trailer leaves a lot to be desired.

I've read on most horror movie websites that Halloween 2 remake is god awful.

 

I'm just sick of dumb remakes of horror movies. Whoever remade "The Fog" should be banned from making movies. Forever.

I fell asleep within 10 minutes of that movie starting when I watched it with a girl I was dating at the time. Same goes for Skeleton Key. Man, some real bad movies around that period.

Speaking of bad horror remakes, I just saw an ad for "Fame" :unsure:

Who plans on seeing Extract this weekend?

 

I want to but Ben Affleck is literally the worst actor I have ever seen...and I mean he is worse than when porn stars try to act out a plot in their movies.

He is ok in some roles. I loved him as the bully/douchebag/5th year senior in Dazed and Confused, and I also liked his small part in Good Will Hunting. I dont think his role in extract is going to be huge, he just looks like a stoner best friend who shows up for comedic relief here and there. Plus, how can you go wrong with JK Simmons, Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis

Have anything to input on the previous discussions in this thread about the movie?

I'd rank it a notch just below Pulp Fiction. Was thoroughly entertained throughout. I'd agree with whoever mentioned that the dialogue felt a bit more natural this time around which was a plus. Loved the various scenes with the ever-increasing tension. I will most definitely see this again at the theater although I wish I could switch

the bar scene climax to slow motion in order to see all the craziness that ensues in the blink of an eye

. Waltz delivered an Oscar-worthy performance.

I think the pace of the scene is what makes it great. It's just pure chaos and you are kind of surprised anyone survives at all.
