    RANT 3

    LOTS of horror fans will get into heated arguements about certian movies, how great they are
    and how they are near perfect. These movie are sometimes not very good bu a lot of the
    time wer jsut the first in a genre. Take JAWS for example, a great movie, but no movie
    with a shark in it can't be even be made without being compared to JAWS, even good ones
    like DEEP BLUE SEA.

    Alot of these movies I really don't like very much because i don't think they stand the test of
    time. I'm really here to now discuss what I find happens to some movies, first I'm going to
    randomley change the subject to double feature UBER MOVIES. These are movie that I find
   when paired directly with their sequals are better.

    Take Halloween for example, I really don't like it much, but when you watch it in conjunction
    directly with the second it creates a longer more satisfying movie. One that feels better to watch.
    This only works though if you completely forget about Halloween 3 through 8.

   Some other movies that I feel are improved by watching with their sequals are:

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1+2: I don't really like the first that much, but The second movie
    being almost a partial spoof, is easier to watch, and it's got Denis Hopper. As they closely
    relate to eachother it makes it a saga like thing. Once again skip the subsequent sequals.

    The Alien Series: The first 2 sequals begin right where the previous entry lets off, so they
    should be watched one right after the other. I recommend the 9 disc QUADRILOGY DVD
     box set, as it is awsome, it has two versions of each movie. and crazy special features. As
    for ALIEN RESSURECTION, I feel that one must watch it to see how much better the first 3
    are.

    The Terminator Series: Take a night and watch them all, They're all great. #2 is the best though
    LIQUID METAL, who'd a thunk it.

    The Evil Dead Series: If the viewer ignores the contiunity errors one sees the films as a
    character piece about one man's (ASH) struggle against evil. Who the hell do I think I'm kiddin
    They're about Demons slaying and the such just watch them for horror and zaniness rolled up
    into a nice ball of DEATH.

    BUT MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER, MOST SEQUALS SUCK

    Take the CHILDS PLAY series for example, The Original is great, Chucky was cool, All the               sequals really suck and hurt to watch.

    The Leprechaun movies a different story. The First is good on a so bad that it's funny level
    but the next a horrendous and the fourth is the worst movie I have ever seen. LEPRECHAUN
    IN THE HOOD is funny though, as it has ICE-T and he stil can't act.

    HERES A GENERAL SEQUAL RULE, IF THE FIRST IS GOOD THE QUALITY OF THE
    SEQUALS WILL GO DOWN EXPONENTIONALY BY 2, FOR EACH OTHER VOLUME.

    PERSONALLY I JUST READ A REVIEW BEFORE I SEE A MOVIE SO I DON"T HAVE TO             WORRY.
