Sleepy Hollow (2013)
Fun Interesting Start to a new series
Just watched this because I saw it on a torrent list (along with 23,000 others in the past two hours). So I downloaded to check it out. I was unaware of this series otherwise.
So far, from this first episode, it was fun. I think it will be a good series to watch this Fall, but I'm not sure how long if it will go to a second season, due to the storyline. It was quite enjoyable nonetheless, and this is a series I will watch, the acting wasn't bad, and the story hopefully wont get too divergent and crazy like past fantasy series.
My Recommendation: Watch this show, it's great fun so far.
-quick spoilers- In the first 5-10 minutes I was excited to see Clancy Brown, but alas, he won't be in the second episode. John Cho (Harold from Harold and Kumar) won't make it to the second episode either, so now i'm wondering how long Tim Russ (Tuvok from ST: Voyager) will last in this series. It's like the nabbed a few "big-name" actors for the first few episodes, enough to get people interested in the series. -end of spoilers-
Halloween (2007)
Would be fine if wasn't dubbed a remake...
Everyone is already up in arms about this movie spoiling the original and ruining the franchise. Speaking of which, did anyone enjoy H20 or Resurrection? I already know that most remakes do not do the originals justice, it's just a fact already proved by Hollywood over and over again. So I went into this sneak peak without the expectation that it will bring the franchise to new heights. If anything, I liked this movie unto itself, not as a homage to Halloween. It showed a boy growing up in a dysfunctional family, bullied a bit at school, overall screwed up already. Yes, it humanizes "Michael Myers", but so what, it's just a gore film, not terrifying, no pop-up slasher ah! situations, just gruesome. The movie starts out showing his childhood, bad home, bullies at school, likes to torture small animals. Killed his white trash(stepdad?) then his WT sister and her WT boyfriend. Takes place in the 70's. Second part of the film is him in the asylum, making creepy masks, killing a few people who disrespect him. Then finally the third part when he's grown up a bit (25?) he escapes and goes back to his hometown to kill some more people. Overall it's just a violent movie about a killer, not a serial killer, cause he doesn't stick to a certain type of victim (ie: babysitters), just a regular old "kill everything that makes me mad" guy. It's not a complicated movie, it's just as bloody as any of the other robzombie flicks. I like it on its own merit, not as a remake to the old Halloween. - Yes we all know you are connoisseurs when it comes to franchise movies, so please defend the Halloween collection with all your typing skills.
