The newHalloweencleaned houseat the box office this weekend.
All involved can toast to their success this week.
But you know who else is toasting?
Thefive-time returningHalloweenheroine,Jamie Lee Curtis.
OK. Im going for one BOAST post.
Movies breaking the bank that star women over 55, on the other hand?
And this wasnt a movie that buried Shaye after the lead, either.
We must of course acknowledge the appeal of awell-designed Shape, butthisHalloweenwas not advertised as merely a body-count movie.

They can be fierce.
They can be fighters.
Curtis deserves to gloat all the way to the bank.
