Jamie Lee Curtis’s acting really drives the story past just the mundane slasher and into reality. She keeps the character of Laurie realistic the entire way throughout the first movie, from paranoid to cool headed to terrified. She is also great in the first sequel, although her performance doesn’t shine through as well. She quickly made up for this in ‘Halloween H20’ though, and gave the character a depth and true meaning that anyone going through the characters tragedies would be suffering from. A true ‘scream queen,’ it was just a shame she starred in the terrible ‘Halloween Resurrection,’ but at least it wasn’t Rob Zombies re-make.
4. Virginia Madsen – Helen Lyle – ‘Candyman’ – 1992
Virginia Madsen really brings the short story, ‘The Forbidden.’ Madsen plays the role realistically and really envelopes the audience into the characters nightmarish world; going from everyday graduate student into murder suspect, while facing off against the hook-handed Candyman. Her understated role is played strongly and reflects the characters persona perfectly, causing the audience to ask what is real and what isn’t?

hundred; he's an enthusiastic Leek Greener." Sejanus looked significantly at Tiberius, who had heard the whole exchange and was astonished at Silius's boldness. He took it as a good omen when the leader of the Leek Green chariot fell in rounding the mark on the last lap but one, and Scarlet came in an easy winner.
Ten days later Silius was impeached before the Senate. The charge was high treason. He was accused of having connived in the French revolt during its earlier stages and having taken a third part of the plunder as payment for non-intervention, of making his victory the excuse for further plunder of loyal provincials, and of afterwards imposing excessive emergency taxes on the province for the expenses of the campaign. Sosia was accused of complicity in the same offences. Silius had been unpopular at the Palace ever since the French rebellion. Tiberius had come in for a good deal of criticism for not having taken the field against the rebels, and for having shown more interest

Three days later Pollio died. He left me in his will a collection of early Latin histories, but they were withheld from me. My uncle Tiberius said that it was a mistake: that they were intended for him, our names being so similar. His stipulation about my having the authority to make corrections everyone treated as a joke; but I of Cicero's which I was able to prove a forgery by Clodius Pulcher. Cicero had incurred Clodius's enmity by witnessing against him when he was accused of attending the sacrifice of the Good Goddess disguised as a woman-musician. This Clodius was another of the bad Claudians.kept my promise to Pollio some twenty years later. I found that he had written very severely on the character of Cicero-a vain, vacillating, timorous fellow-and while not disagreeing with this verdict I felt it necessary to point out that he was not a traitor too, as Pollio had made him out. Pollio was relying on some correspondence

took her problem to Farm Street and propounded it in general terms, not in the confessional, but in a dark little parlour kept for such interviews. ‘Surely, Father, it can’t be wrong to commit a small sin myself in order to keep him from a much worse one?’
But the gentle old Jesuit was unyielding. She barely listened to him; he was refusing her what she wanted, that was all she needed to know.
When he had finished he said, ‘Now you had better make your confession.’ ‘No, thank you,’ she said, as though refusing the offer of something in a shop. ‘I don’t think I want to today,’ and walked angrily Home.
From that moment she shut her mind against her religion. And
