The New Halloween Hit List

For this season, there are a few new entries I thought worth viewing:

Dark Shadows

Another Halloween selection featuring our fav Johnny Dep.  The setting in the 70's, complete with music and costumes, was a surprise and Alice Cooper looks the same 40 years later.  Hilarious.

Snow White and the Huntsman

I know, I know, Kristen Stewart, Kristen Stewart.  While she is supposed to be the star vehicle in this dark little take on the Grimms Fairy Tale, Charlize Theron is the stealer as her costumes get more elaborate and darker with every scene.  After our second viewing, Grace said to me, "sort of Halloweenee, isn't it?"  (I suppose at some point I will succumb to the Twilight series, but not yet."  And let's not forget Chris Hemsworth, pre-Thor!

Edward Scissorhands

Tim Burton and Johnny Dep's first project together is worth a revisit, at least at this time of year.

Ghostbusters 2

I'm not usually a fan of sequels, but I happened across this one on cable, and laughed out loud.  Our boys have been reduced to party entertainment as the scene opens five years later.  Rick Moranis (Little Shop of Horrors), never disappoints, nor do any of our heros and all of their little toys.
