Halloween 2 (2009): Tyler Mane was an excellent raging killer. He was the best thing about this movie. With that sad, the movie itself was a disappointment. The sister's whiney delivery made her annoying and unlikeable, along with the rest of the cast whom you either did not care for or wanted to see Michael butcher them as they had no redeaming qualities. Dr. Loomis' character was retooling was disasterous, and I loathed him.
Rob Zombie's visuals were creepy and equally enchanting. He gets better as a director with each film (The Devil's Rejects still being his best), but someone else needs to tackle his scripts.
The Haunting of El Superbeasto: Sticking with Rob Zombie, this was his first animated feature film, and as expected it was a wicked acid trip with some good and bad hallucinations. He pokes fun at himself with cameos by some characters from his previous films with Paul Giamatti providing the voice of Dr. Satan who is nothing like the Dr. Satan from House of 1000 Corpses.
The elevator scenes were the best parts of the film.
The Hurt Locker: A good movie that didn't feel like a movie. It was shot as if they were filming a cable mini-series, but that did not stop the film from being intense, suspenseful, and a bastard of a good time; though it does lose steam towards the end, but it was nice getting inside the minds of the military bomb squad members.
Extract: Mike Judge delivers another good film, although this one is quieter than his previous two live-action efforts, and Mila Kunis' character was almost irrelevant.
Jason Bateman is knocking every role out of the park.
