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.

Movie Review: Cosmopolis

David Cronenberg has crafted some amazing films per the years. Just look at the likes of Videodrome and Naked Lunch, or even Scanners, The Fly, and The Brood, and don't forget recent critical favorites like A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. He has even appeared in some fan favorites over the years like Nightbreed and Jason X. However, for as fascinating a filmmaker as he is, there is the occasional film that I cannot crack. It is not that I am all that smart, but the movie in question is an egg I cannot crack.
