3, 4, better get out there and see it!

Jason Vs. Freddy? Fucking awesome. As usual, the reviewers who hate it are going in thinking it's a real movie, and are disappointed there aren't deep characters and intricate plotlines. Let me make this Crystal Lake clear, these movies have always been about creative body count and clever one-liners. Boy does FvsJ deliver.

Blood, blood, blood, and more blood, blood, blood. I actually laughed near the end because there was so much blood squirting, spraying, and being vomited up that it forced me to imagine the barrels they must have kept the stuff in. This was not your normal slasher flick - it was a slasher, chopper, stabber, souffle, smasher, etc movie. If you go into it wanting bloody action horror, you'll get it. Big time.

I won't say who wins this battle royale, but I will say that I didn't think they wussed out at the end. The end was just as good as the rest of it - and that is tough to do.

GO SEE IT!

dude, Freddy vs Jason doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is. IF it had tried to be serious, I would have laughed at how preposterous that notion was.

If 28 Days Later was supposed to be a ridiculous farce, then my critique was way off and I take it all back.

Yes, this movie is much better and more logical than 28 Days Later! Oh, wait, no it isn't.

The easy answer is that I was going with ROSE. The slightly less easy answer is that I rarely go to movies at all anymore just because the ROI sucks. The harder answer is that I hate you too much to invite you.

LOL!

Fuck you. Why don't I get invited to movies anymore? I want to see that but I hate going to the movies alone. It makes me feel like a total loser instead of just a loser.
