Rob Zombie's "Halloween" Remake
Plot Summary: After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, escapes from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger. (IMDb)
Mark Dujsik of Mark Reviews Movies said, “So bad it aspires to the height of utter pointlessness that was Gus Van Sant's remake of “Psycho;” however, Kyle Smith of the New York Post said of “Halloween,” "The Batman Begins of slasher movies, and one of the more frightening stabathons of recent years."
"Mr. Bean's Holiday"
Plot Summary: Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he unwittingly separates a young boy from his father and must help the two come back together. On the way he discovers France, bicycling, and true love, among other things. (IMDb)
Richard Roeper of Ebert & Roeper said, “I hate Mr. Bean, I hated this movie. He’s an annoying, creepy, leering, sweaty, unfunny character, and ten seconds would be too much and this movie’s like 90 minutes; however, Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times said, “For younger audiences, Mr. Bean's Holiday will be a pleasure, and of course, Bean addicts will, as always, be happy to see Atkinson's alter ego return to the big screen.”

Molly of Popsugar posted, “There will be so much Olsen teeth. And presumably she will be dressed in normal teenage clothing! Obvie, this is amazing news. I'm so proud of little M-K. All growed up (and playing a 17-year-old)!”
