“Michael made his debut in John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween, possibly the best scare movie to come along in the last twenty-five years. With the release of the sixth (and hopefully final) movie to bear the Halloween moniker, we see how far the mighty have fallen. In the final analysis, The Curse of Michael Myers is a horrific motion picture just not in the way the film makers intended.” WayYearsMadeLastsFilmFiveBearsHorrorTwentiesFinalsReleaseHopefullyAnalysisCurseFallenClassicFive YearsMakersScareHalloweenTwenty FiveHorrificCarpenterMotion PicturesDebutMichael Myers Author:James Berardinelli
“Although The Terminator is arguably the more visionary of the first two films, [Terminator 2] is the more visually and viscerally satisfying. It's an exhausting experience and, even 18 years after its release (as I write this review), few films have matched it within the science fiction genre for sheer white-knuckle exhilaration.” WritingYearsFirstsTwoFilmWhiteFictionScience FictionReleaseGenreReviewsSatisfyingSheerVisionariesExhaustingMatchedExhilarationKnucklesTerminator 2 Author:James Berardinelli
“Seventeen years after its intial release, The Empire Strikes Back is still as thrilling and involving as ever. Because of the high quality of the original product, it doesn't show a hint of dating. Neither [Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope nor Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi] were able to match the narrative scope of Empire, which today remains one of the finest and most rousing science fiction tales ever committed to the screen.” YearsStillsWarShowsTodayAbleStarsFictionQualityProductsReturnDatingOriginalsRemainsScience FictionCommittedStrikesScreensTalesReleaseNarrativeEmpiresEpisodesFinestScopeThrillingHintsInvolvingSeventeenHigh QualityNew HopeStrike BackEmpire Strikes Back Author:James Berardinelli
