wherefore art thou?
The new Friday the Thirteenth movie is a touching, comedic story about two star crossed lovers trying to reconcile their different lifestyles with one another. Marcus Dispel aptly directs this tale with a light hand-It’s almost as though he was fearing a backlash for introducing the slightest touch of originality.
Let’s drop the sarcasm. It only works as a literary device for a couple minutes. The movie was good, true. It almost worth the ten dollars and fifty cents I paid to see it. My only gripe is that I COULD HAVE STAYED HOME AND SEEN THE SAME THING ON DVD, MADE BACK IN 1980. They don’t give us an operational budget here at Brick Is Red, theoretical readers. Jean, I’m sending you my recepits!
The only thing that stood out were the wonderful scenes of violence, and with that, came the only instances of real creativity in the whole film. Our Lothario, Jason, is remarkably agile in his efforts to systematically exterminate car driving, sex having, douchebag twentysomethings. When I saw him literally bound torward his prey, I felt a sense of pride, much like how a parent loves watching a child develop.
A little light on story, but 100% in the senseless violence catorgory, which even the meager backstory couldn’t justify, Friday the 13th would have been better suited as a summer film, and not the remake that those of us who grew up with the slasher films of the 80’s.
What is worth an excited mention is the trailer for the new Tarentino film due out in August of this year.
which is ALSO a remake. But it’s a lock for Frobot ‘09-No Douchebags Allowed award. Better than Transformers, as imagined by Michael Bay?
…yeah.
Enjoy Transformers the way they were meant to.
