Jason X: Jason in space. Instead of using this new locale to mix things up, we get more of the same. At least it has a sense of humor. 5/10
Tweet-Size Horror: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Jason Goes to Hell: Rewrites the mythos of the series by turning Jason into a body-jumping demon. Redeeming factor: Great gore effects. 3/10
Tweet-Size Horror: Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Instead of taking Manhattan, Jason stays on a boat for an hour of the movie. The worst of the series. 1/10
Tweet-Size Horror: Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)
Friday the 13th Part VII: This solid installment features Jason fighting a telekinetic girl. Unfortunately, the MPAA cut it to shreds. 8/10
Film Review – Hank and Mike
This Canadian indie comedy opens with a guy in a pink bunny suit sitting on the couch watching scrambled porn on TV. Best opening ever. It’s Easter Sunday and Hank and Mike are Easter Bunnies. I don’t mean dressed as Easter Bunnies, I mean the ARE Easter Bunnies. They sneak into people’s houses and put eggs in people’s stuff on Easter. Seriously.
Episode 20 – The Fantastic Mr. Anderson
Spencer is joined by John Portanova of Adler & Zenith. They open with a discussion about Paranormal Activity, share some of their scariest films, and conclude with a look back on the career of Wes Anderson in anticipation of his new film The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Film Review – Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day
Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day – I had really high hopes for this movie, despite the whole “sequel is never as good as the original” curse. I thought, same people, same sort of story line, what could go wrong? The answer? Everything.
Tweet-Size Horror: Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)
Friday the 13th Part VI: The series at its most fun. Jason becomes a zombie, fights some great kids, and does it with a sense of humor. 9/10
Tweet-Size Horror: Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985)
Friday the 13th Part V: Terrible follow up to Final Chapter features annoying characters, bad acting, and Jason isn’t even in it! 2/10
