Halloween (2007), a review by snowcat

Halloween - 2007
Director - Rob Zombie
Running Time - 109 minutes
Stars - Malcolm McDowell, Sheri Moon Zombie, Tyler Mane

Halloween, the perfect name for a horror film why? because Halloween is when a lot of people watch horror. The original Halloween is a great film, it holds up well against a lot in the slasher genre. Rob Zombies Halloween is what I prefer to call a re imagining, a film that takes a story but plays it in a different way.

Halloween starts off with a young Michael Myers who after a run in with his Sister, his mothers boyfriend and some bullies at school. The schools principle takes Michael to his office where he calls his mother. The principal horrifies Michaels mother with some graphic photos and tells her he has psychopathic tendencies. An angry Michael goes on to kill the bully, his mothers boyfriend, his sister and sisters boyfriend. After this horrific event Michael is sent to a sanatorium  where his only visitors are his mother and Doctor.

Although some scenes seem fairly violent, I think they were in context, I've watched horror films and felt the gore was out of place but this film had a good ratio of gore to story.

I really enjoyed this re imaging of Halloween, I felt Michael Myers needed more of an explanation on why he was so "messed up". By going back further then the original to the home and School life of the character it made you empathise with him. it felt as though Myers was human, psychotic yes, but he had also been picked on and anyone who experienced that knows how horrible it makes you feel. I felt sympathy for Myers all the way through this film, I did not feel this way during the original, needless to say the original is still a brilliant film. This version of the film is definitely worthy of a watch, nothing like some of the terrible horror remakes out there.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 13: SUSPECT
So many suspects, so little time. More than one person had the opportunity and motive to shoot Lionel Luthor, but the prime suspect is Clark's dad.

My Thoughts:
This is the "Who Shot Lionel Luthar?" (Who Shot J.R.?) Episode. I really enjoyed this episode... especially since it has been so long since I seen this episode... I didn't remember it at all! So it was like watching it for the first time again.

EPISODE 14: RUSH
Chloe goes wild. Pete goes bad. Clark goes along with the whole, nonstop party when Pete slips a certain red k ring into his pal's pocket.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode.I really enjoyed the "hot" Chloe and the daredevil Pete scenes.This is one where Clark is slipped Red Kryptonite and he and Pete tell Chloe the secret... both Pete and Chloe being effected by a parasite... so of course once the parasite was removed Chloe forgets about Clark's secret.

EPISODE 15: PRODIGAL
Lex locates half-brother Lucas in order to get enough votes to oust Lionel from the corporation. Lionel feigns blindness to his advantage. And Lucas may have an agenda entirely his own.

My Thoughts:
This one... to me... is not that great of an episode... it is ok at best. The big thing happening in this episode is the realization that Lionel Luthor is no longer blind.

EPISODE 16: FEVER
Martha is pregnant, but there's no joy when that news comes with the realization that she may be dying of exposure to meteor dust. Lana and Chloe examine their feelings for Clark after he is similarly stricken.

My Thoughts:
This is one of those episodes that even after watching it I don't know just how much  It goes up and down on how much I like it. The meteor dust makes both Martha and Clark sick... I think the scene where Chloe tells the sick Clark her feelings is my favorite... though sad...  scene of the episode.
