I watched Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers WAS I ENTERTAINED?Yes. WHAT WORKED FOR ME?Max the Dog! The way they showed Jamie’s face through a transparent wall as she was drawing Max the Dog was quite nice. I don’t know that it was ground-breaking at the time, but it’s a fun tool for visual… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

Mitch’s Review: Sweet Revenge
I watched Sweet Revenge(This is the Jason Universe/Angry Orchard short) WAS I ENTERTAINED?Far less than I wanted to be. WHAT WORKED FOR ME?The first song was getting so close to catching me and I very much wish it did. When Old Man and Main Girl chat (I think her name is Eve so I’m calling… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: Sweet Revenge
Mitch’s Review: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
I watched Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. WAS I ENTERTAINED?Hell, yes! WHAT WORKED FOR ME?I love the quiet opening sequence for its plain mid-west feeling. When Carpenter’s theme kicks in it plays well with what is going on in the movie and I like that it wasn’t relied upon too early in the… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Mitch’s Review: The Blumhouse/David Gordon Green Halloween Anthology
NOTE: This is not a criticism of those who like these films. Every entry in the franchise after the original Halloween in 1978 has been an exercise in watching a red-headed stepchild get abused. While there are plenty of good and even great elements and ideas presented throughout the franchise, those elements and ideas are… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: The Blumhouse/David Gordon Green Halloween Anthology
Mitch’s Review: Halloween Ends
I watched Halloween Ends WAS I ENTERTAINED? No. I was annoyed. WHAT WORKED FOR ME? Once again the score is incredible! Nick Castle for the win! There are short bursts of cinematography that echo Dean Cundy’s work. WHAT DIDN’T WORK FOR ME? The radio intro is Try Hard and the song selection is bad for… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: Halloween Ends
Mitch’s Review: Halloween Kills
I watched Halloween Kills WAS I ENTERTAINED? Yes, but only if I turn off the more rational parts of my brain and let the film simply wash over me. WHAT WORKED FOR ME? The flashback to 1978 looks Great! Once again the score is excellent! Michael going full Terminator really is an awesome thing to… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: Halloween Kills
Mitch’s Review: Halloween 2018
I watched David Gordon Green’s Halloween 2018 WAS I ENTERTAINED? For the most part. WHAT WORKED FOR ME? Going into this film ignoring everything from Halloween II forward was a good idea for a starting point as it’s the correct way to bypass all the bad ideas this franchise has had to endure. James Jude… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: Halloween 2018
Mitch’s Review: The Naked Gun 2025
I watched The Naked Gun 2025. WAS I ENTERTAINED? Vaguely. WHAT WORKED FOR ME? It looks and acts like a movie and it’s competently made for something that looks and acts like a movie. WHAT DIDN’T WORK FOR ME? The story was uninteresting. I sat and watched it all the way through and I was… Continue reading Mitch’s Review: The Naked Gun 2025
