Jesters_folly (230 KP) rated Snowpiercer in TV
Jul 14, 2020
Snowpiercer is based on a french comic series. There are three comics set before the series which is set 7 years after the extinction event (When the world froze) then another comic, then a movie (15 years after the EE) then two more comics, this means that if, like me, you have seen the film first you will know that there are some limits to what can happen in the series.
Like the film the series is foremost a commentary on class with the train having three official classes, 1st, 2nd and 3rd, the unofficial 'Night Car' and the tailys, a large group of stowaways who live in the tail of the train.
Snowpiercer also focus on the impact of living in a very closed and contained environment and the effect that even the slightest change could make.
Be warned there are a few violent scenes, a bit of nudity, and sex references so if you don't like that sort of thing you may want to avoid this
KyleQ (267 KP) rated Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) in Movies
Jul 19, 2020
H20's plot is less weird than the last couple of outings in the franchise, but it still feels a bit silly. The movie opens up showing Michael Myers doing some investigation to find out where Laurie disappeared to, which it just so happens that the nurse from the original movie had in her house. It was kind of a dumb start, and it never fully recovers from it.
There were 3 different masks used, resulting in obvious differences from shot to shot. One mask was particularly terrible, it looked like a clown mask.
The movie does benefit from a decent supporting cast including the likes of Michelle Williams, LL Cool J, Adam Arkin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and even Janet Leigh.
Tonally, H20 is somewhat cheesy, it shouldn't be taken too seriously, though who would at this point in the series?
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later will entertain fans of the series and horror fans alike. But don't expect it to be anything especially good.
