[...] “Ocean’s Twelve”, came along. I don’t think I’ve seen a worse sequel in theaters since “Jason X”. So naturally, once the trailers for “Ocean’s Thirteen” began invading the preview reels my [...]

[...] Personally, I love the direction Part VI takes Jason’s character. He was always ugly and unstoppable in the past, but now he’s all those things to a whole new extreme. The whole “zombie”-thing may sound stupid, but the zombie-era of Jason actually has many of the best films in the franchise and the majority of the best kills. The only real downside about the zombie-era is that the Friday the 13th franchise eventually becomes a series relying solely on movie-to-movie gimmicks (having Jason fight a telekinetic, Jason visiting Manhattan, Jason going to Hell, Jason in Space, Jason fighting Freddy, etc).

[...] There are a few things Part VII is notable for. It’s the first appearance of Kane Hodder as Jason, a role he would reprise for Part VIII, Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X. Many fans prefer Kane’s interpretation of the character, which I do find impressive, though honestly, there hasn’t been a single actor to play Jason who has disappointed me. The role doesn’t require much acting talent, hence the reason they always cast stuntmen. It’s also recognized for having a popular montage opening which I actually prefer over the montage for Part IV. The selection of clips is great and the whole thing is amplified by a voice over from a creepy old man (“There’s a legend ‘round here…”). Then there’s the make-up effects which were top-notch. Jason’s face at the film’s climax remains one of his most memorable appearances ever. The make-up artist made it a point to work in all the damage Jason took over the previous movies, from machetes to the face or motorboat propellers to the jaw (his broken mask is very cool-looking).

[...] “It’s time to play the music! Doot doot doot doot dooooo something…” Yeah, sorry, I just felt obligated to make the mandatory Muppets Take Manhattan joke. So, anyway, Jason Takes Manhattan: “Worst Friday the 13th movie” or “Best Worst Friday the 13th movie”? Personally, I lean toward the latter, mostly because I’ve seen Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X and those are actually worse than an hour and a half of Jason killing teenagers on the Love Boat. [...]
