OK I know I've messed with the date of DVD picks before, and a swear this will be the last time. Having it on Thursday morning will give folks a chance to Netlik it and get it by Friday or Saturday, so for picks will go up on Thursday now and that will be the last time I mess with the date.
This week's pick: Halloween by Rob Zombie.
There's a big horror movie remake coming out tomorrow (Friday the 13th) from the team that brought you the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, and it's sure to be bad. Rob Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's original isn't all that bad. It's actually quite good and entertaining. Rob is a fan of the old 70's style horror movies which he really showed us in The Devil's Rejects which put a lot of people off, but was ultimately a brilliant return to form of the way horror/slasher films used to be made. Halloween stays true to the old days. Mike Myers is evil because he's just evil. The acting is better in this movie than any movie of the genre in the last 10+ years, and there are really only two stupid deaths that could have been avoided. Zombie does a good job of building tension when Myers is on screen and you will find yourself leaning in and bracing for impact with what will happen next. I'd actually recommend you take a gander at both this movie and Rejects if you have time to be both frightened and freaked out this weekend.
