New Release last Tuesday

I apologize for the lateness for this. College football, Ranger baseball, soccer games, Friday the 13th movies and sleep have been affecting me.  Here it goes, enjoy:

Paramount and New Line bring us what they are calling the complete collection but this still leaves a Jason fan wanting more.  It includes all the movies including Freddy vs. Jason and the 2009 reboot.  Extras seem a little slim for this set and we are offered the uncut of the original but what about the uncut editions of parts 2 and 7?  I watched part 5 the other night and they could go back and remove some of the cropping on that too.  Any way it is cool to have all of these movies in one set finally.


This is a good looking documentary that covers every one of the Friday the 13th movies.  Narrated by Corey Feldmen(Parts 4 and 5) and it is over 400 minutes long so it should be quite comprehensive.

I have only seen the original Scanners with Michael Ironside and all his greatness but since this is from Scream Factory this will be a look see in the near future.  Exploding heads are always cool.

J.J. Abrams took his time with getting this sequel out and that is ok since they actually turned out a good story here.  What does tick me off about this was the blatant lies from the Abrams camp about this being a new story and villain.  I always try to be spoiler free here but everyone's favorite old Star Trek movie sequel is borrowed from quite a bit here.  Rant over, still a good flick and Peter Weller sure was great in this.

A descent Brian De Palma movie starring Nick Cage playing a great dirt bag in this.  The opening shot 22 minute continuous shot in this is really awesome.  This movie also introduced us to the greatness of Carla Gugino who is always easy on the eyes:
