A Look Back - Jason X

-
*photo from imdb.com*
   Today I go the distinct pleasure of sitting down to watch the heavily shit on movie. I would like to take my crack at it. This is the last Jason film before the reboot in 2009. This film made 17 million at the box office, so its no surprise the  series died.
 The year is 2455.  Earth is now a planet abandoned for centuries. Humans now return, not to live, but to research the artifacts of the ancient civilizations that caused the end. Guess who is waiting.
 It is hard to even decide where to start with this movie. We can start with the script. The whole premise that gets them to the future  is so stupid and pointless,  spoiler, Jason gets frozen alive for four hundred and fifty- five years, just cause. It than is revealed that once Jason is aboard, it is revealed he is just there to be sold on this new earth. Now throughout the film, you get atrociously terrible dialogue. To go off a bit this film has some of the worst acting I have ever seen in a film.
 People are inherently stupid and make dumb decisions that get them killed in stupid ways. Personally the kills in this were eye rolling a lot of the times. 
  To wrap up the negatives, this movie looks like it was shot for ten dollars. Every scene that uses effects look so bad. Even for the year 2000, it just looks so bad.
 In the end, this movie is really bad, but there is some scenes that were so bad it was hilarious, but not as often as you would hope.

Unfriended: Dark Web

    I would be the first to admit, when the original "Unfriended" dropped in 2014, I was not expecting to enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. I always thought though, there is no need to make a sequel. Alas.. we fast forward to 2018, and there is a sequel.     The story revolves around Matias, who finds a great laptop, in his local internet cafe's lost and found. Since it has been there for weeks, he takes it. Later that night, while playing a game night over Skype, he begins to discover some terrible things.    One of the problems that plagued both of the films was the acting. In most of these cases, the actors from these films, do not have a lot of experience. It unfortunately, caries over to this film. When the story got to the climax, the line delivery got a little rough.    What really worked for the first one, was essentially, everyone was a terrible person. As the story progresses, you find out the terrible things t...

Triple 9

     When it comes to cop films, for the most part, I tend to be a huge fan. When this came out, I was not very sure what to expect from it because there was such little press for it.     A professional group of thieves lead by Michael Atwood (Chiwetel Ejiofor) does the biding of Irina Vlaslov ( Kate Winslet). The guys want out of her buiding, but her being a big player in the Russian mafia, she gets what she wants. She drags the crew into a final heist with a huge payoff, what could possibly go wrong?        The biggest thing that hurt this film was the scope was so huge for this film with how many characters it has. It is hard to care or, for that matter get to know any Of the characters when the time spent with them is so short. On top of that, this film does not go in any new directions for the crime thrillers. I feel like if they may have added twenty to thirty minutes to get to know all the characters it may have added an edge it do...

The Ridiculous Six

   The Ridiculous Six is the start of the long contract that Adam Sandler signed with Netflix. It comes in the form of the spoof of the classic Magnificent 7.      In the story it surrounds White Knife (Adam Sandler) and his seemingly perfect life with the apache tribe. Things get a little messy when his long absent father (Nick Nolte) shows up and is subsequently kidnapped. Fifty thousand dollars is needed to set him free, so White Knife takes it upon himself to rob the terrible people of the West to get his father back. Along the way he finds out that he has many other brothers in the shape of Taylor Lautner, Terry Crews, Rob Schneider, Jorge Garcia, and Luke Wilson.      Through most of the later of Sandler's Carter you could at least count on his movies being entertaining. This film seemed choppy in places when it came to the story. None of the jokes seemed to really work. It's hard to say but Sandler has done so much better even in recent...
