video review : Friday The 13th : Part 2

The prologue, which recaps Part 1, is tacky and superfluous, but it gets better from there. This Friday The 13th is slightly superior, in fact, and the girls at Camp Crystal Lake’s Counselor Training Center show enough ass and tits to keep us perverts delighted. It’s five years later, according to the story, and “Jason’s a legend.”

He’s also a bit of a goofball; a fact that doesn’t reveal itself until near the end when the deformed killer goes after what becomes the protagonist, gets toppled by an opening car door and falls off a chair. Ginny is just as inept in her escapes; tropes a slasher flick like this needs to build suspense and keep the plot moving forward.

video review : Christine

video review : Christine

Christine is an antique 1958 Plymouth Fury and, like most old cars, she has issues. “She’s real sensitive,” owner Arnie Cunningham warns. What he means is that if you offend his car, she might try to kill you.

Those scenes are the best parts in this love story of man and machine. It’s Arnie who fixes Christine up from trash to treasure. His transformation from class nerd to psycho enthusiast is less convincing.
