I think MM's heart is in the right place but he never tells more than one side to any story which leaves his words/idea a bit hallow in my book. But if people feel motivated by his work then more power to him.

Halloween 2   7/10

I liked it ,, but not for the gore factor.
It showed more of what was going on in Michaels head.
It answered a few questions that I had about what was going on in the first.
It was pretty well written,, and Im a fan of Rob Zombie anyway.
 It would have still been a good one even without all the blood and gore.
 Michael Myers wasnt the imortal boogy man that the original vision made him out to be. He was just a madman .
 I like how they made it out to be that his sister wasnt too sane either.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

^ Plus, PR departments, and lobbyists do a pretty good job of covering the other side.. I don't think it's being unrepresented :P

MM shows sides of things that arent told by the pr departments and the lobyists.
I think thats why they put him down so much, he tels whats NOT meant to be told.
I remember watching the one he did about 911. He was standing on a street corner in Washington DC and was asking the senatores and congressmen if they voted for the war. When they said yes he then asked if they had children going over to the war.
They got evasive and finaly had him removed.
 What he had to say about insurance comanies in one movie got alot of people asking thier companies things that the insurance people couldnt or WOULDNT answer.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

Halloween 2   7/10
I agree! Both films were SO much better than the originals. I dont think I have EVER said that in my life. Now, the originals were precident setting films in the horror genres but the remakes do them justice plus!!

Oh yeah,, normaly I go into  a remake with five strikes against it.
 The Halloween movies struck back at me lmao.
I remember the remake of The Fog,, the original was so much better written and scarier.
 I love Romero,, but the only remake of his movies that was good was Dawn Of the Dead,, the Day Of The Dead remake sucked hard.
So did ( And I hate to say this about Tom Savini) The Night remake back in 1989.
 Too bad the original Night is public domain, every hack is remaking it now .
Night 3D was so bad I used it for target practice.
 
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

Michael Moore's films can't rightly be called "documentaries".  He takes a lot of stuff out of context when he "presents" his side.  I think he does more harm than good.

I think he raises some good points too.
He gets a bad rap for doing the same thing CNN and the ilk do. So why trash him?
Everyone reporting something has thier own agenda. Hes doing nothing diferent than CNN, Fox News, or any of the other syndicated news companies.
 I do believe that he DOES show the flipside to what we are force fed by the media at large.
 And of course,, the media and others toss him into the Crank files.

They think they're doing it more subtlety. (Stress in "think") ::)
