6 Degress of.... Christian Bale to Malcolm McDowell

6 Degrees of…
Lets play a game… how you play is that you take an actor and you connect them with another actor using an actor in a movie they are in. For example Drew Barrymore to Jim Carrey: Drew Barrymore in Charlies Angles with Tom Green, Tom Green in Freddy Got Fingered with Harland Williams, Harland Williams in Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey. It is very simple. So I am going to start to do this and review each movie. And if you have another way it could be done please let me know in a comment .

So for round one:

Christian Bale to Malcolm McDowell

Step 1) Terminator Salvation (Christian Bale, Sam Worthington)
This movie was released onto DVD and Blu Ray just recently. It stars Christian Bale as John Connor and he is, to be honest, the best yet.
This movie is set 15 years after the third one and it is missing our original Terminator. Judgment day has happened and The Resistance is fighting the machines. Sam Worthington plays an ex murderer who, before he was executed before judgment day, signs off his body to be used for science by Skynet. And from there you learn the rest.
This is a very good movie and is a great addition to the series. While it isn’t the best it is much better then the third one much, much better then the first, but not as good as the second.

2) Avatar (Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver)
I still can’t express how much this movie rocks. It has now made over $800 million worldwide so go see it if you haven’t.

3) Alien Resurrection (Sigourney Weaver and Brad Dourif)
This is the fourth movie in the Alien series starring Sigourney Weaver. It is not the best one of the four but it is still pretty good. If you like the other three you will like this, but if you only like the original two, then just skip movie all together.

4)Halloween II (Brad Dourif and Malcolm McDowell)
This is the 10th Halloween movie made and maybe one of the worst. Now, I loved the remake Rob Zombie did and I was excited about this one, but as soon as I finished watching it, I was very upset.
It takes a route that makes it very confusing and seems illiterate almost. They way that the character of Loomis is changed is almost absurd, and Laurie being this party girl who is rebellious makes people not like her.
But, after viewing the director’s cut, I am rather impressed now. But, for it to make sense, you must watch the director’s cut of the first and this one for it to all flow.
