Friday the 13th - Part VI: Jason Lives, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

As a child, Tommy Jarvis did what many other died trying to do. He killed Jason Vorhees, the mass murderer who terrorized the residents of Crystal Lake. But now, years later, Tommy is tormented by the fear that maybe Jason isn't really dead. So Tommy and a friend go to the cemetery to dig up Jason's grave. Unfortunately for Tommy, (and very unfortunately for his friend), instead of finding a rotting corpse, they discover a well rested Jason who comes back from the dead for another bloody rampage in Friday The 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives.

MY THOUGHTS

Now that's the Jason I know and heard so much about! Jason in full, supernatural, bad ass mode! I also like the self referential inside jokes. For some reason, I like this new, more powerful Jason. He's got a more menacing presence. They also show him more, with helps build tension. I found this installment pretty good.

Veronica Mars Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. Plan B
Weevil enlists Veronica's help to finally prove who killed Felix and bring that person to justice.

My Thoughts:
Decent episode... but nothing here really impressive.

18. I Am God
A restless Veronica is plagued by dreams in which the students killed in the bus crash confront her.

My Thoughts:
This episode was enjoyable... although a little on the weird side what with all the dream sequences throughout the episode.

19. Nevermind the Buttocks
When Veronica decides to take on what seems to be an easy case of helping Harry, a Neptune senior, find the person who maliciously ran over his dog, she is taken aback by the startling facts she uncovers.

My Thoughts:
Good episode... brought the season long mystery much further... the single episode mystery was just mildly entertaining... but entertaining all the same.

20. Look Who's Stalking
When Gia is convinced she's being stalked, Veronica takes the case despite her dad's orders not to get involved because he believes Woody (guest star Steve Guttenberg) might be up to something, but what she discovers not only shocks both girls, but leads to further questions.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. Being the last 3 episodes of the season... they are concentrating more and more on the season long mystery... and even with that they still put out a decent single episode mystery as well. I really enjoyed this one!


21. Happy Go Lucky
As Aaron Echolls' trial is about to conclude, tensions rise as Veronica, Keith and Logan take the witness stand to testify against him.

My Thoughts:
good episode.... this episode starts to pretty much tie up some of  the loose ends of the season... as well as tells you the outcome of Aaron Echolls' trial.

22. Not Pictured
After learning the identity of the perpetrator responsible for the bus crash, Veronica hurries to warn others, but ends up putting herself in an extremely perilous situation.

My Thoughts:
Excellent Episode!... this is the one that all comes together for the season long mystery. Once again they did a really good job putting everything together.
