The cover almost put me off buying this movie. But the synopsis sounded like I might enjoy it. And I am glad that I have bought it. I liked this movie.
It is about a guy, who broke two girls their hearts in the past. Now that he gets his heart broken, he feels bad and visits these two girls years later to ask for forgiveness.
I especially enjoyed the first romance. Mahi is a very sweet and cute character (second to right on the cover). She dreams about meeting her true love like in her favorite movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (a movie I also have reviewed). A fact which Raj exploits.

Friday the 13th - Part V: A New Beginning, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

MY THOUGHTS

Well the series is starting to feel a bit redundant here. It also reeks of studio involvement/director sellout. I mean, it's worse than an Agatha Christie novel! Always the same plot, just a different setting! They did try to mix things up a bit, but boy did it fall flat on its face and I can't even think of a single reasoning how they thought, even for a mere second, that it would work and that fans would still like it! (well, I guess fans did like it enough.. after all, there's still 5 movies (6 if you count the Freddy crossover, 7 with the remake) to go! (click to show/hide) I'm talking about the fact that "Jason" here is a mere copycat! With a different mask to boot! I can pretty much sum up my feeling for this installment with a single onomatopoeia: meh! Is it me who is different? I mean, you could do a "Friday the 13th" in 60 seconds very easily. Line up 10 teenagers, have them each say their name, then have random sex, because we all know you need boobs to sell a horror movie. Then have Jason kill each of them from behind, one after another, in rapid succession. Have the last person finally notice what's going on, pull a knife and drive it into Jason's head. Cut to mental institute, add quick dream sequence of imaginary Jason attacking. Voila! Friday the 13th in 60 seconds! (click to show/hide) Ok, it's not actually for a Friday the 13th, but it's close enough: http://www.angryalien.com/0605/freddyjasonbuns.asp But then, that's me being a bit harsh. It did keep me entertained. It's just gotten to a point where the movie is just too predictable. But I give it points for having an actress who actually bears the name Voorhees: Debi Sue Voorhees who plays Tina. And she's incredibly beautiful! And we get to see her naked!

And we hear Angel's connection to Drusilla.
