Halloween II had a direction of a narrative that I was a fan
of. I enjoyed the immediate continuation of THAT story but wasn't a
fan of what THIS story had to offer. The direction of Myers, both in
character and performance, I wasn't a fan of since he was a robot-like
figure with a human motivation. Going against the interesting features
from the prior film. The characters the audience follow, although had
some entertaining and well executed deaths, were hollow and
unmemorable figures that were in tune with the mediocre characters
of the subgenre. Halloween II is an entertaining movie, if you watch it
directing after the '78 film. But on its own, it's quite unremarkable.
Joker was epic. It's a fantastic character study centred around the most popular comic book villain of all-time but crafts a story that makes this incarnation of the character stand on its own. It's a beautifully crafted piece with stunning cinematography and art direction. I'm a fan of this changed appearance of the Joker. And Todd Phillips does a fantastic job in the director and writer's chair. Phillips' tackling of certain political and social issues will spark conversations in groups full of people smarter than myself, but I understood the messages that were coming across. But Joaquin Phoenix is one of the biggest draws of the film with such a praiseworthy performance. I don't really care for the Oscars and award shows anymore, but Phoenix deserves the accolades coming his way for such a masterful and haunting performance.
One thing that I must point out, is that it's unfair to compare Phoenix to Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. They may play the character with the same name, but these are two drastically different portrayals in both performance and script and it's unjust to compare. Just worship the fact that we were given two immense performances from two different actors.

Friday the 13th was an interesting movie because it was an open rip-off of Halloween that sparked one of the biggest and most recognizable horror franchises ever. It has commendable features, mainly the template that inspired a generation of horror filmmakers and fans, but the most interesting aspect is that this isn't the most renowned entry. It's defiantly one of the instalments that I throw on the least because of its script and character, but is better than a lot of the lesser sequels.
