Yeah, Danielle was on fire, aside for the unfortunate "cookie woman" scene in this one (another I don't think anyone could've sold those lines moment). One of my favorite child performances there.

Cracking open my Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers Producer's Cut blu ray.

Now I've technically seen the producer's cut, but the shitty choppy bootleg version from a long time ago, so hopefully this is much cleaner.

There's a lot more insert/alternate bits that I do not recall at all with the version I saw.

This is living up to the cleaner/smoother thing too. I actually like all the additional/alternate stuff.

Yeah, I do like this cut much more, but I still am not fond of the "Thorn" stuff, even though it's much better explained here.

Oh, and this cut does not have the cool Brother Cane song.

Just got done forcing my way through The Swarm (so to speak)..I got varying runtimes though. The video I watched ran for almost 2 and a half hours, so I have to go with that even though IMDB has it at just under two hours. I watched this movie on Xmovies8. I would rather have had a shorter version, but oh well.

Had Vampires on.

I find it interesting that the cinematographer was on the short list for the Oscars for that year, for Vampires. Not that I think the movie's poorly shot, there's a lot of beautiful shots in the movie, I just find it odd that it would be this guy who comes close, and not Cundy for iconic work in The Fog, Halloween, or The Thing.

Clear winner today was Castle Freak - all around a fun movie. Shame it took me this long to see it.

Los cronocrímenes (2007) was pretty good, though lacked a certain ompf that I was expecting, especially given the very high rating on IMDb (7.2/10 with almost 47,000 votes).

Headless (2015) was decent, and loved the special effects (they really went for the gross-out factor), but it doesn't compete to the other two.
