HALLOWEEN KILLS MOVIE REVIEW

Wait, didn’t Michael Myers unquestionably die, get all burnt up, in the end of the last film? Of course not. OF COURSE he escapes and I guess he felt bad for not killing enough people in the previous entry because he is on a real tear in “Halloween Kills”, cutting through giant swathes of Haddonfield townsfolk with glee. With Jamie Lee Curtis and Will Patton seriously injured, they sit out the bulk of the film in a hospital, waxing eloquently to each other about the past and the nature of evil. But the townsfolk, now joined by several of the survivors of the original 1978 film, are led into a mob frenzy to kill ‘The Shape’ by Tommy Doyle, portrayed in this incarnation by a very sweaty Anthony Michael Hall. Can they do it? Can they finally kill evil? I wouldn’t bet on it (especially since they filmed the next movie “Halloween Ends” back to back with this one). Chris, Frank, Madelynne, and Wright have much fun talking the highs and lows of this new entry.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.
