It’s been a while since I bothered with a film update here, so why not now? First, as I think I mentioned previously, I got on a horror film kick recently and rewatched Haloween (a classic). Then I decided it might be fun to try some of the sequels, so I tried II (which was good) and about the first twenty minutes of III, which was probably the worst film I’ve ever seen (and doesn’t even deserve to be called a sequel, since it has nothing to do with the two previous movies). Then I repeated the process with the Nightmare on Elmstreet movies. The first one is great (of course). The second one is not great but not awful. I personally like the third one quite a bit (though most people don’t). And I tried about fifteen minutes of the fourth one, which was bad and obviously not going to get any better.
After I got over my horror film jones, I caught Office Space, a very funny comedy about working jobs you don’t like, and Triumph of the Will, a Nazi propaganda movie from 1934 (quite an eye opener, though with some amazingly good shots).
