Friday the 13th
Who Could Axe For More? Everyone!

Jason Voorhees is back and he's
badder than ever just about the same/lame as you remember him! Producer
Michael Bay and director
Marcus Nispel (not to be confused with
Nipsey Russell) have reteamed to remake/not improve upon another horror classic, like they pointlessly did with
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (although we still stand by the claim that
the TCM prequel was > than the
Star Wars prequels). This is the 11th
Friday the 13th movie (or 12th, if you count
Freddy vs Jason) and you know they aint gonna stop making these until you stop paying to see em, or at least until they hit #13. Called a 'reboot' (still officially one of the wurstest/most annoying terms used in print,
since at least 2006), this new and not at all scary
FT13 is about as necessary as owning a
They Are Who We Thought They Were™ hat (come to think of it, owning that hat is kinda necessary). At least the moviemakers (we wouldn't dare call them 'filmmakers') had the common indecency to include some solid T&A and have their refarted characters (including
this dude who totally wishes he was
Matt McCoughney circa Dazed & Confused and
Aaron Yoo, who is also known as annoying Asian guy, but is not as annoying as
this annoying Asian guy) spew dialog that was kinda sorta high-lariously written, such as '
Your tits are stupendous!'. Next up for Bay (and Nipsey Nispel) is
a repooping of A Nigthmare on Elm Street, followed by
a repoop of The Birds with Naomi Watts. What's with all the repoops Bay? If you love these classics so much and want to introduce them to a whole new generation of moviegoers why don't you juss re-release the originals in theaters (juss like the successful run of
The Exorcist in 2000) instead of repooping all over them? Repoop!
Damsels In Dis-Dress:
gawd bless the bodies
of work of
Julianna Guill,
Danielle Panabaker &
Willa Ford... although cutie-pie mcgee/young
Jeanne Tripplehorn look-alike Panabaker sadly keeps her clothes on the entire time
Verdictgo: with all this repoop talk, you'd think that this would be a no doubt repoopulous affair, but it's not entirely unwatchable, so

Push looks 100% awesome, but makes -348386 sense and is about .001% entertaining. It's kinda like
Heroes or
X-Men, where everyone and yer nana has a special power and everyone else is out to get them, yet it's more confusing and doesn't star
Greg Grunberg or is directed by Brett Ratner. It hactually stars a sorta growns up
Dakota Fanning (
who draws the future like that drawer of the future from
Heroes) and
that dude from Amistad and
that guy who's the flaming gay brother of Jessica Alba and
Camilla belle's eyebrows, which are so hot, but for most of the movie they make her too sweaty and beat-up looking, which totally is not her steez, but later on in the movie she cleans up and looks like good old Camilla Belle and she's the bestest belle since
Albert Belle was on the O's, justin case you plumb forgot. We can't remember what the premise of the movie was or what anyone's powers were (besides
the power of Asians screaming) or why any of it mattered, but wethinks it inolved some sorta ongoing battle between the Movers, Pushers, Wacthers, Bleeders, Sniffs, Shifters, Wipers, Shadows and Stitchers (
thanks Wikipedia!). Wonder if the Movers are also Shakers and if any Quakers are also Shakers and if any of them live in
Shaker Heights, Ohio? Are you as lost as Hurley? So are we, so we'll stop now and forever hold our peace pipe about a movie so hard to watch that it makes the new
Friday The 13th look like the old

Slit Yer Eyes Out RepoopulousFriday and
Push are currently playing at a theater new Jews
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed...
