Movie Review: Jason X (2002)

After the 1993 failure of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, the Friday the 13th got kind of put back on the back burner. The movie did not do all that well and was not exactly well received by the fan base. It is right up (down?) there with Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. It seems that if you stray too far from the established path you will be rejected. Well, that is neither here nor there. In the years following Jason's journey south, attentions were turned to creating a Freddy vs. Jason movie, following a failed attempt in 1988. Sadly, creative wheels continued to spin with many stabs at a script and numerous director interviews. So, while that was going on, New Line was approached about doing another Jason film. Jason X was born.

Blu-ray Review: Queen of the Damned

In 1994 the cinematic adaptation of Anne Rice's best-selling novel, Interview with the Vampire arrived. Directed by Neil Jordan, coming off the success of The Crying Game, the movie gave us an intriguing look at vampires. It is a movie played seriously and not without a touch of profound sadness. It introduced us to Lestat, a lonely and cruel vampire, albeit in more of a supporting role. Eight years later Lestat returned to the big screen in the leading role of a vastly inferior movie.
