ahh
 
Just barely got to see the remake of Friday The 13th..it was actually not AS BAD as some of the other recent remakes (i.e..the hideous prom night remake)...sure the storyline was shifty and it seemed non-sensical the way everyone was just running back and forth for kills but it seemed to stay true to the Friday The 13th franchise.

That would be Don't Look In The Basement...it was actually pretty good!

Yep, that was the one.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)

Haven't seen it in a good few years, not a great film, but decent enough. Some solid acting peformances, particulalry from the supporting cast. The peformance of Richard Briers, playing the blind old man from the family De Niro befriends,stands out in particular. In fact, those scenes alone are enough to make this film worth watching.

Disaster Movie

I really hope it was an ironic title. Although I think I enjoyed it more than Meet the Spartans. The parody of Juno was amusing at times and the song at the end was a laugh, but other than that. Oi vey...

Jennifer's Body (2009)

Easily and without a doubt the worst movie I've seen in ages.

I was one of the few (around here at least) that really enjoyed Juno, so I was kind of looking forward to seeing what else Diablo Cody could pull off. It might be too early to file her as a one hit wonder, but she sure as hell missed the mark on this one. They tried way too hard...it wanted so desperately to be Evil Dead meets the hipster culture, but it failed miserably. The dialogue is nothing short of painful - while it worked to an extent in Juno, here it just made everyone sound like either a complete idiot or a pompous asshole. There wasn't really even any gore to save it...pretty much all the deaths were offscreen.

I can't think of anything redeeming at all about this movie. Megan Fox is utterly talentless, and hearing her spew Cody's horrendous dialogue has to be one of the most despicable cinematic combos of all time. I will admit that she's somewhat attractive, but it takes a lot more than that to make a movie watchable.

If I wasn't with a group of friends, I would have left about 20 minutes in. I'd suggest staying away from this garbage no matter what. It's banking on all the Hot Topic hipsters and Megan Fox worshipers to drool all over it. The sad part is...they probably will.

Edit: _V_ - Just noticed that you checked it out as well. Thoughts?

I wouldnt call it the worst movie in ages. In the past few years I have seen far, FAR worse than this.

I thought Amanda gave it her best shot. Megan did what she could with her limited talents at acting and extremely wonderful talents at looking gorgeous. The scripting and dialogues disappointed (I was left wondering if this was a horror film or a satire), and the direction by Kusama was really horrendous. Cody tried to inject Juno with horror but it rang all the wrong bells.

Except for Megan (and Amanda to an extent), there's absolutely nothing else to see. Skip it if you are not a fan of either of those mentioned above.

The only thing I'm curious about, are the commercials misleading or does EVERY guy in the movie wear eyeliner?
