  Halloween 1978

  ★★★★ Rewatched by musicmoviesme 19 Oct 2020 15

  Michael Myers doesn’t require a character. It’s the absence of his character that makes him petrifying.

  Michael Myers doesn’t need a Freudian defense to justify his actions. He’s plain evil.

  Michael Myers is one blood-curdling, spine-chilling stalker.

  I dig the long shots of Haddonfield community with its gorgeous fall leaves while Carpenter’s SUPERB synth score is playing in the background. 

  Halloween is simply a John Carpenter masterpiece!

  I’d say this is perhaps the most conflict-ridden and certainly the most chaotic political trial in US history. The timing and relevance couldn’t be more extremely relevant than today.

  I see Nina constantly balancing on the verge of madness. I can feel her internal demons, and she didn’t need to force drill into her role for me to feel it’s there. Mila Kunis also gave a superb performance here.…

  In the Name of the Father 1993

  ★★★★ Watched by musicmoviesme 25 Jul 2020 10

  How could 4 people be declared guilty of a despicable crime in the absence of testimonial or physical evidence of their guilt, and with the prosecution's dependence on contradictory and insufficient admissions?

  Watching this movie was like reading a book that’s a spellbinding page-turner. The last 15 minutes were a pure adrenaline rush. That courtroom scene was riveting. My blood was boiling.

  This movie delivers a hammering rock soundtrack by Hendrix, Dylan, Bono and Gavin Friday, setting a high-speed pace…
