Beware of the MAGA Republican Gestation Police!

The overturning of Roe v. Wade by the GOP US Supreme Court made reproductive freedom a state responsibility – for now.

Pay more attention to your state government and especially the state legislature.

Find out exactly who is representing you in your state capital.

Find Your Legislators Look your legislators up by address or use your current location.

If you're represented by Republicans, work to defeat them by supporting the Democratic candidates for your districts. Contact your county or state Democratic Party to find out how. Involvement in legislative races is an excellent way to get your feet wet in political activity. It's very grass roots.

If you're represented in the legislature by pro-choice Dems – then cool! You can still support a group dedicated to electing more Democrats to state legislatures.

📽 Bride Wars (2009)

I usually like Anne Hathaway, but this one was a miss for me. It’s so contrived. Almost every single thing that happens could be avoided. I really thought I would like this one, but it’s just too bad. It’s not funny, and the pranks they pull on each other are just stupid. I feel like this could’ve worked if it was like high school girls fighting over prom or something like that, but adults fighting over their wedding? Not it.

Sex/nudity: 4/10 (kissing, references to sex, women dressing/dancing/ speaking provocatively)

Language: 2/10 (really not bad, once they said exactly “mother f”, some other mild words)

Violence: 2/10 (slapping, tackling, cat fighting)

Overall rating: 4/10

Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998)

Making your way through a franchise compels you to rank the installments from best to worst. Having reached Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, I’d put it third on the list after the original and the first sequel. That sounds promising but actually, it’s more of a testimony to the weakness of the follow-ups than to this one’s success.

Set after Halloween II and ignoring all subsequent chapters, it’s October 29th, 1998. Michael Myers (Chris Durand) has acquired Laurie Strode’s address from Dr. Loomis’ personal files. Meanwhile, in Summer Glen, California, Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) has faked her death and is living under the name “Keri Tate”, raising her son John (Josh Hartnett) while remaining haunted by the tragic events of 1978. She has no idea Myers is once again on her trail.

In some ways, this is a “good” sequel to Halloween II in that it maintains the continuity established and progresses the story further. This Michael Myers was described as “pure evil” by the late Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance having passed away in 1995) but really, he’s a deranged “normal” human being who is obsessively stalking his sister. Nothing supernatural going on. It’s not the way I like my Halloween but your mileage may vary. Regardless of your preferences, credit is due to Jamie Lee Curtis for her portrayal of Laurie Strode and to the filmmakers for the conclusion. Laurie isn’t like the characters we usually see in horror movies. She knows that knocking Myers down isn’t enough so she grabs an axe; she knows the killer is after her and uses it as a way to protect her son from harm. As for the finale, I don't want to give away too much, but it doesn’t get much more definitive than this. It would be impossible for another confrontation between Strode and Myers to happen.

I said “good” earlier because this film consistently makes some major mistakes. First of all, this Michael Myers isn’t frightening at all. His mask looks cheap and trashy. You’d think the people in charge would’ve taken the time and effort to make it look 1) like the original 2) appropriately weathered considering it’s been 20 years since Myers last wore it, and 3) intimidating. They didn’t. Throughtout the whole film you can clearly see Myers’ eyes, which makes him look human and therefore vulnerable. You believed he could take several gunshots and disappear into the night 20 years ago. Now? It seems ridiculous.

The best parts of this film have Strode pitted against Myers either in person, or psychologically when she “sees” him in reflections or in the distance. Everything else is generic and a waste of time. John and his friends are only there to give us a body count and they play no part in the film’s conclusion. We get one decent kill that involves a service elevator. The rest lean toward the unintentionally funny. Some of the humorous tone is clearly deliberate. LL Cool J’s portrayal of a security guard is played for laughs all the way through but this is less of an attempt to bring new life in the franchise and merely someone trying and failing to emulate the success of Scream, released 2 years earlier. That film was lampooning slashers while also being one. The humor was subversive. The protagonists being able to knock the killer over with conventional weapons didn’t take away the tension because their identity was still a secret. Here? It deflates the potential for terror completely. There isn’t a scene in this film that’s tense or scary.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later shows just enough potential for you to stick with it, but this just makes it more disappointing. Even if you like the path this installment chooses, I doubt you’ll be pleased by its lack of scares and lackluster killer. Ironically, that awkward title is just about perfect. This is a clunky, uneven film with ambition. (On Blu-ray, October 29, 2021)
