It's absolutely leaps and bounds better than the theatrical cut. That being said, as you mentioned it still isn't a great movie. It just made an awful movie into a watchable mediocre one. I kind of wish they would put out a blu with this version included so the quality doesn't keep dipping.
The new 15 disc set includes the ten movies, a TV version of II, the Producer's Cut of 6, the 2007 disc of the original, a 4 hour documentary disc on Zombie's remake, and a bonus disc with a ton of extra features on it, with new making of documentaries for 4 and 5, episodes from a show called Horror's Hallowed Grounds (featuring the locations for I, 4, 5, and 6), interviews, commercials, the original movie with the TV footage inserted into it, etc. Also, the Producer's Cut disc includes a ton of new bonus features as well including an interview with Danielle Harris on why she wasn't in it, some of the crew talking about Donald Pleasance, the original teaser trailer, an interview with Malek Akkad, and several other things.

Oh I had no idea those were released and included. That sounds like a killer set though. Thanks for the info, man.

So I finally got to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier (About 19 billion years after everyone who wanted to see it watched it).
It was enjoyable. Kind of long, but it only felt dulled at specific points, and unlike the Iron Man sequels, Cap actually stayed in focus, instead of spending half the fucking movie in the background like Stark ended up doing. I wonder if Crossbones will actually show up as Crossbones, or if they decided that his costume was too silly...

I think Winter Soldier is Marvel's The Dark Knight. It goes beyond the realms of just being a goofy comic book movie and also deals with social issues.

It even made characters like Falcon and Zola interesting (Something I was doubting was possible, especially with Zola's weird ass camera-head and TV design he rocked in the comics). So, yeah, it was quite enjoyable and I had some fun with it. I'm glad it dealt with Cap's issues with current times not through some kind of inability to use current technology, but through trust and just how people acted decades earlier vs today. Though, I guess if the movies are gonna play things a little more seriously, then I doubt Crossbones will appear in costume.

Halloween 6 - Theatrical version - I kind of regret watching this version after doing the Producer's Cut as this is just so inferior. The lighting looks bad in some of the new scenes (especially when Jaime is in the barn), they completely dropped the Cult of Thorn plot halfway through the movie, Dr Wynn does not die on screen, the music sometimes sounds like it belongs in an extreme sports video, but worst of all, they cut out nearly every piece of character development for Loomis. Loomis is one of the main staples of this franchise and to cut him out so we can have more of a focus on the poorly acted Tommy and Kara is just ridiculous. Plus, things do not make sense. Why does Loomis no longer have a scar? Why is he in the hospital when Tommy is there? Why was the old lady holding a knife to the baby? Why did Michael just leave his mask on the floor? What was with the screaming sounds of Loomis at the end? None of if makes sense. I give this version of the movie a 3/10 stars.
Halloween H20 - After going into the realm of total ridiculousness, the series finally gets back on track by completely removing the last three movies from continuity. This is not only the smartest thing ever, but it also helps bring a new sense of smell to the franchise. Getting to see Laurie on screen again and learning what her life was like over the last twenty years is far more interesting than her dying off screen in a car accident. The movie itself is nicely done with some great moments of suspense, it keeps the death count down to a minimum, and harkens back to the night Michael originally attacked Laurie. The music is moody, but the movie's biggest faults are the lack of character development for anyone outside of Laurie and Michael's constant altering masks. Nevertheless, it is far better than the last several sequels and has a truly kick ass, conclusive ending. How do you come back from that? :-D I give this movie a 6.5/10 stars. It isn't as good as II or III, but it is better than the entire Cult of Thorn trilogy. It is just a shame that Pleasance passed on otherwise he would have been truly phenomenal in this one.

Halloween Resurrection - Oh god, why, why, WHY?! What were they thinking when they made this piece of crap? Okay, to be fair, there are some great moments to the movie. Despite how much bull**** it was to retcon the ending to H20, the opening bit of the movie is pretty good. Also, there are a few good lines of dialog to be found and some of the deaths are cool. In concept, it had an interesting idea by taking advantage of the hype of reality TV at the time it was made. Unfortunately, the movie is just bad ideas mixed with lazy writing all around. Michael's knife can chop a person's head off but not slice someone's leg off? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. The acting is bad, with some of the worst being from the blonde headed girl from Occulus (which explains a lot of why she was bad there) and most of all, Busta Rhymes. There are some moments I do think he had that were funny, but then I remember this is supposed to be a Halloween movie and not a parody one. In fact, they should have just went with making this a parody movie that featured Michael Myers in it, it would have been way better. Anyway, I've wasted enough text on this dump so I am going to give it a 2/10 stars. I am curious to watch it again with the commentary track though so I can learn what these people were thinking.

Day 13:
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014): No... The placement of this review in regard to the day number is unintentional. It just HAPPENED to fall on Day 13. So, as with any recent Disney movie, I will refrain from spoiling it. This movie was hilarious. Yes, in the end, it is really about spending time with family, but just watching all this s*** happen to these people is actually kind of hilarious. i'm a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad person. *gets booed off stage* I give this movie 8 Kangaroos kicking Steve Carell out of 10. |
