Halloween II
(1981)

More of the Night he Came home.
Decent sequel: Picks up right after the original ( Although the original was 1978 and the sequel was 1981 a 3 year gap) But that doesn't matter anyways on with the review. Halloween II takes place where the original ends: This time around Laurie is taken to the hospital, Dr. Loomis is still on the hunt for Michael, We find out Laurie is Michael's sister, Michael kills some of the locals, then Michael shows up at the hospital kills some of the hospital staff, Dr. Loomis shows up gets Michael in a room full gas containers, tells Laurie to leave the room, Blows the room up, Laurie ends up in an ambulance end of movie. I am not going too in-depth. It's Halloween II either you have seen it or you haven't. If you haven't? Then i suggest you go and watch it.

Pros:

1. Great opening with Dr. Loomis saying " You don't know what death is!" Then the iconic theme start playing and epic way to open the movie in my opinion.

2. Creepier theme, the this time around is a little creepier than the first one.

3. Cool ending you have a chase at the end with Laurie and Loomis were Laurie Shoots Michel in the eyes with a gun, they release the gas, she runs out and Loomis says " It's time Michael." The room full of gas blows up. Michael's body is set on fire he walks out the room falls to the ground, Laurie is in the ambulance end of movie.

4. The kills are more graphic in this one compared to the original

5. Great acting from Donald Pleasence & Jamie Lee Curtis once again.

Cons: Not many mainly 3

1. Hospital was empty it could have had a bigger body count if the hospital was fuller.

2. The pacing felt slow times due to not much happening.

3. Some of the cast members were forgettable.

Overall Halloween II is a Decent sequel and i will give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Thanks for reading this.

Dennis the Menace
(1996)

Classic cartoon!
Easily the best version of the cartoon in my opinion.

Fun and full of entertainment for all ages

The Mummy Returns
(2001)

Great Sequel
Better than the first? Sorry but I respectful disagree.

Cons

1. The kid was annoying

2. The CGI was worse. I know there was bad CGI in the first one which is dated but I can forgive it for that since it was 1999 CGI was still kind of new. Here though? It has been 3 years since the first movie the CGI should have gotten better but it didn't I got worse in my opinion

3. I don't buy guy with the aircraft saving them at the end because they crash in the jungle, there is no way he could have fixed that huge aircraft there is no repair shop or anything and I don't think he would have the tools with him to fix it either.

4. The rock was under used. It is why have him at the start then never see him again until the last 5 or 7 minutes of the movie? It is kinda false advertising since he is on the poster but hardly in the movie that itself

5. I don't think the score for the film was better than the score in the first one

Pros?

Great action scene/fight scenes

Locations were nice

The bus scene in London where the mummies are going after them was well done. One of my favorite scenes of the movie

The jungle scenes with the little mummy monsters going after them were intense and thrilling to watch

Great acting from all the cast once again

Overall a decent sequel

B+ For me

Jeopardy
(2002)

8 students and their teacher go to Australia to look for UFOs activity
Jeopardy is about a group of eight secondary-school students and their teacher Gerry from Falkirk academy, who travel to the Australian bush to look for UFO activity. They are given camcorders to record any sightings, and the series (much like the Blair Witch Project) makes extensive use jerky footage supposedly from the hand-held cameras.
