Halloween Ends (2022)
Glad it's over. Maybe??
I asked Google what's the best way to watch Halloween, as there are 13 of them. Long story short it advised 4 will do - Halloween (1978 original), Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.
Have now seen all four and have enjoyed them. As some people have said this is more a pop corn movie than a true "slasher" - I find a true sentiment of a good horror movie is one that makes you jump in the first 5 mins, and that sets the tone of the entire film going on. THIS wasn't that. The only horror movies that have REALLY made me JUMP were IT (original, and in certain parts the "remake"), Nightmare on elm street (but I was very young - teens- when I saw that {maybe now I won't find it so much, but just can't get myself to see it!!}. Maybe if they remade it (aka IT) that would make me??).
Anyway, don't want to give too much away on this one. The one thing I did take (more my view than maybe movies intention) was that anyone could be Michael Myers ( thinking Batman) if the cards/events fall in the right order. As someone stated in their review, this should have been called "Corey's Halloween". This guy sees/meets the monster, looks into his eyes, and, as he says to Laurie in the film, if you had just lost yourself in him, how things could have been different.
Very clever take on the whole franchise, if a bit convoluted.
Arthur & Merlin: Knights of Camelot (2020)
A lot better than "the reviews" said
To all you naysayers out there, this adaptation of the classic Arthurian legend was well worth the watch. Yes some of the camera shots were suspect, the acting so so, but it kept to the basis of the legend, and played out well. Some reviewers stated that Merlin was only in it for 5 minutes. Yes in human form he was but as the Falcon he normally portrays in legend, and books, he was in it the whole film long. I enjoyed it!!
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Not as bad as IMDB reviews have said
Clever reimagination of a film series now 30+ years old. Strong storyline held true all way through. Brilliant seeing some of the old favourites back, film better for it. Some very funny moments, some cringeworthy stuff too. All in all a good film, much as James Cameron said, worth seeing just for the spectacle.
