Halloween series

Posted by moviegeek916 on October 31, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

So Halloween is upon us and this year it occurred to me that I had only seen half of the Halloween films. I decided to rectify that this year. Halloween (1978) You know I kind of go back and forth on Halloween. I last saw it in 2009 and thought that while good it was … Continue reading →

Hatchet II (2010)

Posted by moviegeek916 on October 3, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

Hatchet II (2010) – Usually the phrase “more of the same” is a bad thing… usually. Not always. Not this time. The first Hatchet was an awesome throwback to 1980s-style slasher movies. The gore is all old-school practical effects and none of that cartoony CGI shit. The lead actress of the original film, Tamara Feldman, … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

Posted by moviegeek916 on September 19, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) — So Jason doesn’t actually “take” Manhattan until just over an hour into the movie.  Once there does he wreaks havoc on terrified New Yorkers?  For the most part, no.  Instead of his usual “kill anyone, kill everyone” philosophy he ignores the hundreds of New Yorkers … Continue reading →

Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)

Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) — At what point does a series descend into self-parody?  It’s not as if the Friday the 13th films ever held to a very standard of excellence but they are what they are and what they are is fucking fun.  From the very moment Jason does a … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

Posted by moviegeek916 on September 19, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) — It is worth noting that subsequent to this “final” chapter they made EIGHT MORE MOVIES!  This movie is sort of a mixed bag, Friday the 13th-wise.  As far as before-they-were-“famous” roles go, add points for Crispin Glover, detract points for Corey Feldman.  Feldman is irritating as all … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Posted by moviegeek916 on September 19, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) — So there are many things about this movie that make absolutely no fucking sense.  For starters [spoiler alert] in the first film the killer was the seemingly kind Mrs. Voorhees who was avenging the death of her “special needs” son Jason due to camp counselor negligence.  In the … Continue reading →

Saw IV (2007)

Posted by moviegeek916 on September 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

Saw IV (2007) — So Saw was a good movie that seemed to come out of nowhere and Saw II was better than anyone expected a horror sequel to be.  After that the series got progressively more and more idiotic (although the hilariously half-assed attempts by Saw VI at cultural relevance added a level of … Continue reading →
