Friday the 13th, the remake

As I've mentioned in PM to another poster, I'm livid that my ex allowed my 13-year-old stepdaughter to watch his movie with her friend. Unsupervised at that. (I would have still been unhappy had she watched it with her...)

She bought the tickets and sent them on their way while heading off to see "Shopaholic"...

 

Thought the first 10 minutes were creative.

Formula city, but not awful.

 

That is pretty awful, and I actually agree with Dooley re: Some of these movies should be NC-17. Saw III was the most degenerate thing I've ever seen, yet it skated by with an R b/c it didn't show stoop so low as to show two people making sweet love.

 

This kind of movie is the way to make money in Hollywood. A cast of nobodies, a low budget and a $40 million opening...

 

Slasher films, for the most part, have always enjoyed that luxury.

 

Saw this at 10 a.m. on Friday. 10 a.m. is way too early for Jason Voorhees. For some reason I've always liked this series and I can say the same thing about this movie.

 

Yeah, he really does his best killing after lunch.
You know, wake up, fire up the coffee pot in his underground lair, spend an hour on the treadmill and another 30 minutes sharpening the old machete, then watch a Sportscenter rerun before heading out to see if any teenagers around.
Hey! He's kind of like a sports writer!

 

Can't be a remake of Friday the 13th if Jason is in it. They can call it a remake of Friday the 13th: Part 90234875234 if they want.
