Unlike most believed, this film is by far one of the best sequels to date. Like the film before it (Halloween H20) it ignores the storylines from parts 3-6 (which in this case is a good thing), but still manages to bring fresh things to the series. We finally are told Michael's whereabouts throughout the last 20 some years, and we also get a stuntman worthy of playing Michael. Not only did the producers finally give us a good looking mask, Brad Loree's potrayal of Myers is the best to date, even better than Nick Castle in the first film. The walk and pace is right, as is the head tilt (finally returned from the first film). This film may lack some qualities, but it is nice to see Rick Rosenthal return and give us a worthy sequel. I give it 8/10 stars because (after watching it a few times) I was able to notice a whole lot of goofs! Other than that, good film, especially some of the shots in the opening sequence. Danny Lux's score is AWESOME!

The Wonderful World of Disney: Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House
(2002)
Just doesn't make the steal
Season Unknown, Episode Unknown
3 November 2002
Home Alone 4, a made for TV sequel to Home Alone 1 and 2 (part 3 had a different story line) just doesn't make the cut. The casting for Kevin and his brother and sister were terrible. The kids look younger and even in the film Kevin states he is 9 years old, where in the first two he was older, however he remembers one of the burgulars from before. Marv, played by French Stuart this time around, has a new partner, Vera, who isn't any brighter than Marv. They decided to cancel the Harry character, originally played by Joe Pesci, even though they do reference him a few times. Now, Kevin's parents are about to finalize their divorce. His father lives in a huge smart house mansion with his girlfriend Natalie and Kevin stays over for Christmas. But Marv and Vera show up with a new plan - kidnapping. Home Alone 4 makes a failed attempt of returning to the Kevin McCallister storyline, but they were better off using new characters.

Halloween: Resurrection
(2002)
One of the Best Sequels!
4 July 2002
Warning: Spoilers
CONTAINS SPOILERS
The film starts off at Grace Anderson Sanitarium where two nurses tell stories of Laurie Strode. They say she decapitated a man. Laurie is all beat up, dirty, and basically in bad shape knowing her brother, THE SHAPE, is coming for her again. We find out that the man whose head was chopped off was really a paramedic who had his larynx crushed by Michael before they got to Laurie. Back at the sanitarium, she sets a trap for him in her room. She puts a fake her inside her bed and when Michael gets to the dummy, Laurie hits him with a lamp and shocks him a little bit. She hides and sends him up to the roof, her following. She says some strong dialog (rewritten since the internet draft) about how he has failed (although not said, she gives you the idea). He is lifted by his ankle upside down with this crane thing. He drops his knife. Laurie picks up the knife and goes to unmask her, to make sure it really is Michael. He grabs her and brings her off the side of the building. Michael's knife goes into her gut in the process. She does something really sweet before Michael pulls the knife out and she falls into some trees below (really cool shot) and then Michael does a really shameful thing. Now we're at the Haddonfield University where we meet our six main characters, Bill, Jim, Rudy, Jen, Donna, and Sara, who are six teens who are going to go into the Myer's house for a internet thing with Dangertainment, entrepeneur Freddie Harris' company, along with his "assistant", Nora Winston. Halloween arrives as they explore the house. They all have mixed opinions about the house, but they can't leave till the next morning, and they get scholarships for doing this. That night, after we get to know more about our characters, Freddie plans some Michael Myers fun, with his own costume and mask. When the real Michael Myers shows up and everyone sees both of them, something really funny happens. The real Myers begins to kill most of them, and only a few get out alive. When Sara escapes to a shed outside, she cuts some electrical wires and cases a big fire around the Myer's house. Myer's gets tangled up in some electrical wires. I'm not going to spoil the ending, so go see the move. It's one of the best Halloween films ever (although there are some points they could have worked on a little stronger), and anyone, even those who haven't seen any other Halloween movies should see this (they explain most things in the opening monologue over the credits).
