Halloween: H20 (1998)


In tribute to the series I will continue reviewing the rest of the films in the series as the tenth installment was released today. When they decided to do H20, they had a problem and that problem was we know that Laurie strode is dead and Jamie as well so what do we do about it? Well, we just erase the slate and start over as if Jamie never existed and we will welcome back Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween '78, The Fog) to the series. We also say that Jamie is a the head mistress of a private school and that she had a son instead of a daughter. The role of her son John is played by Josh Hartnett (30 Days Of Night, Lucky Number Slevin) and his girlfriend is played by Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, Dick). LL Cool J also stars in this movie as a security guard and moonlights as a cheesy romance author. The movie was a great comeback for the series from the disaster that preceded it. The story is Michael has been gone for over 20 years and no one knows if he is dead or alive. They presume that he is dead, but in all actuality he is alive and more pissed off then before. Jamie's character is having a tough time of letting go of the past and takes it out on her son as she is naturally overprotective and is waitng for the day that Michael shows up. Well, her worst nightmare that she could ever imagine is about to come true as Michael stalks her and her son. So, go out and rent it and find out if Michael can accomplish what he started 20 years ago. The movie also stars Adam Arkin (Hitch, Full Moon High) as a teacher and Laurie's secret lover, Jodi Lynn O'Keefe (She's All That, The Crow: Salvation), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days Of Summer, Angels In The Outfield), Chris Durand (Uncle Sam, Miss March) as Michael Myers, and Jamie Lee Curtis's mom Janet Leigh (Psycho, The Manchurian Candidate) as her secretary. Three and the Half stars Out of five
