"Ratatouille" 5/10

Like many other cartoon movies, this one didn't manage to keep my attention.

It was well made, but the story just wasn't very exciting, wasn't very funny, and the young garbage boy annoyed the hell out of me.

Freak Out ~ mostly terrible, and so often misses the mark, but some of it of it was actually pretty funny.

Evil Bong ~ this movie could have been so much stupid fun, but alas.....no....though Bill Moseley showing up for like two seconds was an amusing surprise.

Little Miss Sunshine ~ I really enjoyed this one, very good cast, and at times it was very funny.

Some spoilers...

PS. I'm one of the few who don't hold the original Halloween on as high of a pedestal as most. It's a (very) good film, yeah, but I don't think it's the be-all-and-end-all. I much prefer Black Christmas. Yes, I said it. It hurts when people give Halloween the credit for being the "first slasher" when Black Christmas actually deserves that title.

Halloween (2007). I really, really, really wanted to like this film. I am one of the few who like Rob Zombie's directorial style. However, this film was a mess. It was as if they crammed an original movie into a remake of the first film.

It would have been far superior if they made an original movie from the backstory, to the time he escapes. And then a second film, a retelling of the first. Even at 2 hours, the film seemed short. Too much trying to be told, in too short of a time period.

I'd really like to see a full-blown backstory film, much like Zombie did here, only tightened up. I really dug how Myers created all of those masks, and hung them on the walls of his cell. I liked his family situation, although the father was a tad overdone. I was really pissed when Myers killed the janitor who has looked after him.

In the "second" part of the film, the retelling of the original, I found myself really liking the new Laurie. Not in connection with the old Laurie, of course, they aren't anything alike. If they were to be compared, it's a complete bastardization. But as a new, separate, character I enjoyed her. The addition of the two kids who were being babysat was possibly the best change Zombie made. I don't know why, but I loved them.

I can also admit that I really, really, really liked the ending. That russian roulette scene. Excellent way to end it.

I kind of hated the new Loomis, as well. And I think Laurie's friends should have been fleshed out a little more. They were just introduced, and then killed off. It was lame.

So... in the end... it was worth watching, in my opinion. It's just... not even close to being as high-quality as I had hoped. It's an uneven, messy re-imagining that should have had another year or two in the reworking-stages. I think the problem people have with it is: they either hate Zombie's work (white trash, brutal, dirty, sexually raw... gritty...) or they compare this with the original Halloween. I don't think the two should be connected. Yes, this version is a complete bastardization if you consider it a remake of the first. It changes everything, and completely disregards John Carpenter's characters and series of events. It's sort of a spit in the face. But I didn't really see it as "Oh, they remade Halloween." I just picked it up and said "Oh, a new Rob Zombie flick..." And I enjoyed it, to a certain degree.

Revenge of the Nerds III: Most hate it. It was made for TV. I thought it was better then the second film.

American Gangster - 8/10

Great Film...Ridley Rocks!!!! A fine vision into the life of Frank Lucas. Scott gives us a relevant and real-life look into the narcotics business top-to-bottom and across the board. Denzel, Crowe, and Brolin were brillant. Definitely lived up to the hype.
