F R I D A Y T H E 1 3 T H 2 0 0 9


Ok so Friday night, February 13th, yes I know original huh!, myself and the Bear visited our local cinemaplex to view the new Friday the 13th.
We was excited as a couple of fat kids who have just been given the key to willy wonkas chocolate factory and who had been told that they had just made giant chocolate boobs filled with beer.
We had seen the trailers, read the articles shuffled through picture after picture and now it was here! We took our seats in the darkened cinema screen and held our breaths...
... okay... sooo, what did i think... it was good... thats all i can say, it wasn't the best Friday 13th and it by far wasn't the worst, I think I built this up far too much in my mind, and the movie i designed in my head, was going to be without doubt THE best Friday 13th ever! What did i get, a mish-mash of Friday and Texas Chainsaw... note to the screenwriters and Marcus Nispel, when teens go somewhere, we don't always go for a massive batch of drugs... just a thought... and we don't need to be shown that Jason was there when Pamela Voorhees was beheaded... we all know he was, why the fuck do films feel the need to hand us fucking plot lines on a plate, its quite depressing, are some people actually that stupid that they need that? LEAVE SOMETHING TO OUR IMAGINATION!
Okay so it seems like i am hammering this movie... Forgive me, i am not! I did enjoy it, I liked the kills, all bar one, if your gonna make someone the cock of the film, kill them with some vengence, we want that fuck to suffer! I loved all the homages to the first 4 films that appeared, i fucking loved Derek Mears as Jason, He brought something new and fresh to him but also kept true to the slasher we all know and love! Jared Padalecki was great in this movie as well, played the loving brother cool guy really well, the two stoner kids made me laugh, i thought the cast didn't do a too bad job, i don't get when people shitcan these guys for wooden performances, they did a good job, no one was ever going to win an oscar from this movie and they stay true to the kids / victims of previous movies! Like i said i enjoyed this movie, when i first came out the movie, i was a little disapointed, due to my high hopes, but shortly after, and a sleep later, i realised how much i enjoyed this movie, and the more i chat about it with people, mainly the Bear, I am realising how much i enjoyed this movie!
So overall... Great Jason, Good boobs, ok Score (one chh chh kaa kaa... shame on you), Solid kills, very very good Friday the 13th!
