Friday the 13th (remake) - 2/10
Pretty much pure garbage. I'm not against some remakes either. I actually liked the TCM and Halloween remakes. (Blasphemy around here I know, but whatever.) But this? Terrible. Abercrombie douchebags who I couldn't care less about getting killed? *yawn* Cardboard cutouts could act better than these people. Boring and uninspiring deaths abound. See that electric bug zapper that is featured predominantly in two shots? Yeah we're not going to kill anyone with that. Let's just use a machete. Again. Jason becomes a human-sized gopher building tunnels under the camp which he then fills with odd bits of junk? Yeah. Ok. Sure. I'm right with ya on that. Not.
Star Trek (remake) - 10/10
I'm not a huge Star Trek fan. I used to be into it a little bit as a kid. I used to like Next Gen for a season or two, but it just go boring and predictable. But the reboot is pretty amazing. I could have done without the whole time travel plot mechanic, but otherwise, awesome movie. I especially loved the look of the movie. I had my reservations about the light flares from what I had read online. They in fact make the movie what it is. I think that without the light flares, the movie would have looked like any other sci-fi movie out there.
