Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
Halloween H20 Allows Michael To Come Out His Shell
I thought that Halloween H20 was certainly one of the best Halloween films out of the whole lot. The reason everyone watches these movies are because of the character Michael Myers. And in the first film, while it remains a horror classic to this day, Michael really didn't go on the killing spree audiences now crave to see. But in this film, Michael Myers is in the movie for a much longer time giving the audience more of a chance to really see this character on his own hunting ground. Plus, the death scenes are great! I love that this film not only brings out the best of Michael Myers but it also is great at building up the suspense. If you want a gory slasher like Saw or Hostel, then this is not the movie for you. This is a great Halloween film tying in a lot of aspects from the original classic and amplifying the horror to meet the expectations of a modern audience. Two thumbs up!
The Last Days of Chez Nous (1992)
An Australian writer's husband cheats on her with her sister. It is a story of what drives people and how they cope with fitting in to society as well as their own family.
This film is more mature than others but still evokes a great story. The cinematography is incredible. Each camera movement and frame was thought out carefully to the very last detail making every shot artistic. I recommend this movie for any film students! The actors in this film are not A list celebrities which I think is great because while their acting is superb, their popularity status does not detract from the film's story and delivery. As far as independent films go, this one is very well done and an excellent example of what film making is all about. This is clearly some of Geoffrey Simpson's best work as a cinematographer.
