Jul 18, 2020
With this sequel John Carpenter served only as a producer, Rick Rosenthal stepped in to direct.
Halloween II still has good to it. The score is good, the acting is mostly good (especially Curtis and Pleasence), and Michael has plenty of screen time which is definitely a pro.
Unfortunately, Halloween II fails to recapture its predecessors suspenseful tone, there are some pointless deaths, and some death scenes are straight up cheesy, ruining what suspense what the film had.
Overall it's still an entertaining slasher, just not anything more then that.

Miles Teller recommended Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) in Movies (curated)

Aug 17, 2019
The plot: The Rev. Moore (Tom Wilkinson) is prosecuted for the wrongful death of a girl thought to be demonically possessed, because he administered the church-sanctioned exorcism that ultimately killed her. Prosecuting attorney Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott) contends that the young woman, Emily (Jennifer Carpenter), suffered from schizophrenia and should have been medically diagnosed. Meanwhile, defense lawyer Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) argues that Emily's condition cannot be explained by science alone.
Its thrilling, chilling, spooky, and alot more.
I would highly recorddmend this movie.
Sorry this review is a day late.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Christmas Eve in Books
Apr 3, 2022
I was unaware that, apparently, this had also been released previously, on Jim Butcher's own website, back even before Peace Talks (or book #16) was released.
it is set after Battle Ground - thankfully giving no spoilers but only dropping hints to what will transpire - with Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, attempting to put together a bicycle for his daughter on Christmas Eve, while staying with Michael and Charity Carpenter.
A bit like Scrooge, he receives numerous supernatural visitors on that night (although for very different reasons than Scrooge did!), with the final visitor and the final portion of the story bringing a tear to the eyes.
