Friday the 13th

02-13-2009, 07:35 PM

The new Friday the 13th came out today. Is anyone seeing it? Apparently it's all 3 of the first movies tied into one. It was produced by Michael Bay, which isn't really that good, LOL. I am going to catch a Matinee tomorrow, but overall don't have very high expectations.

Discuss?

Isn't that the starting goalie for the San Jose Sharks?

I think I'm going to wait for this to come out on cable.

I will not be seeing it. I really hate these MTV movie remakes and will run far and fast from it. I learned me lesson from Rob Zombies Crapoween.

I made it through the 13th, now the real hell is today

I liked the remake...didn't have the suspense factor that the original held, but it was bloody enough to unsettle me, which is what I like in horror flicks.

Here's what I'm going by
In that review is all the things I try to avoid in a movie.

Some people love that kind of stuff, But I love the old school style camera work and effects. Seems all the soul and heart has been killed in remakes and in the directors. It seems that art in film is dead when it comes down to making/releasing a Hollywood movie. Maybe writers and directors just gave up and must obey the masters before they get wiped again for free thinking.

Whatever! I'll stick with what I like.

Patrick and I went to see this today while Danielle took Abby to see Coraline.

I am a huge fan of horror from the 1960’s through the 1970’s. I barely give modern “horror” a chance. I loved the Friday the 13th flicks as a child and decided after much hesitation to give the latest installment a chance.

I will say, I was amazed that it did not totally suck.

I liked it quite a bit more than I could have imagined. It was your classic campy slasher flick starring your favorite guy in the hockey mask.

It was less than inventive and offered absolutely nothing for the series or horror genre.

However, it was entertaining.

Is it the best F13 flick? No.

Is it worth a matinee to see titties and terror on Camp Crystal Lake? Sure why not.
