(HORROR) Halloween 3: Season of the Witch - 1982 *

I'm not sure why this movie had nothing whatsoever to do with the characters from Halloween. It completely threw me and probably other viewers off the trail and was a waste of time.
The acting was awful, and I really don't understand what the point was in having this extra film stuffed in between the second film and the forth (both of which are  to do with Michael Myers). You don't even need to see it really, because I barely took any of it in and I'm pretty sure that I didn't miss any of the 'Halloween' plot.

Class of 1984 - 1982 *

Dear God what a ridiculous and hideous movie. How could something like this be made?? I thought sequels of horror films were bad, but this was on a whole new level of dire. I'm hoping against hope that the Mark Lester who directed this isn't the same one who played Oliver Twist in the musical?!
Pupil/teacher revolution is always a difficult subject to cross, and I'm sorry to say that this failed miserably. Too 'punk era' for me. Look out for a very young Michael J Fox.

Tootsie - 1982 ****

What a hilarious film.

Dustin Hoffman plays an unemployed actor who has a bad reputation in the business and realises that the only way he is going to get on television is if he disguises himself... as a woman!

Dustin Hoffman is almost unrecognisable as 'Dorothy' the wise-cracking and sharp talking character from the hospital soap opera who won't take any nonsense from anyone.

Jessica Lange plays his love interest who is blissfully unaware of the mixed-gender issue and sees 'Dorothy' as an amazing friend.

Brilliant movie, I was in stitches many times!
