May 17, 2024, 11:57:45 AMFriday the 13th - Part VII: The New Blood |
| WHAT THEY SAY |
Ever since homicidal maniac Jason Voorhees got trapped in chains at the bottom of Crystal Lake, the nearby summer camp has operated without a hitch... without a murder. But one of this season's happy campers has brought along a deadly secret. Tina Shepherd can see the future and levitate objects. Her doctor knows just how dangerous telekinesis can be, but he's out to exploit her, not help her. And now it's too late. Tina has accidentally unchained Jason from his watery grave and the bloodbath is underway. Tina's special powers are her only hope for survival. But what chance does a teenage girl have against an axe-wielding maniac? |
MY THOUGHTS |
| This is probably my favorite entry in the Friday the 13th saga. Finally, to a certain extent, Jason meets his match! Sure, a girl with telekinesis is a bit over the top, but, I found it made good a good story. The showdown between Tina and Jason is very interesting, because Jason has a worthy adversary, someone who can actually hurt him. Ultimately, she can't obliterate him, but she still gives him a fight. This also marks the beginning of Kane Hodder's tenure has Jason, and I found he did a very good job at giving Jason the imposing stature, presence and even show his relentless anger towards everything. I also really like Jason's look in this movie. He looks battered, ribs poking out, flesh rotting away revealing his bones here and there. He looks nasty, but it fits with the timeline of the movies, and I liked that! (click to show/hide) |

Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, a review by addicted2dvd
Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning
In the 19th century the Fitzgerald sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, take refuge at Fort Bailey, home of the Northern Legion Trading Company. But the ground is cursed, and no one leaves for fear of the monstrous beasts lurking in the area. Now, Ginger and Brigitte's vow to stay "together, forever" gets tested as one of the sisters slowly slips into a darkening fate.
My Thoughts:
Once again I prefer the first one. But this one is very good... I enjoyed it about as much as the second one. This one is of course a prequel. It shows how the Fritzgerald sisters has been cursed through-out time... in all their previous lives. I thought it was a quite original idea. At least I personally haven't seen it often at all. I do wish they would have changed the girls personalities at least some in this one since it wasn't meant to be within the same lifetime. You would think they would change some from one life time to another. But in this case they not only have the same names... but it is like they have the same personalities as well. At least that is how it seemed to me.
My Rating:

Twilight Zone, a review by addicted2dvd
Season 2: Disc 2
43. Nick of Time (11/18/60)
A superstitous newlywed (William Shatner) becomes obsessed by a penny fortune-telling machine. But are his pennies revealing his future - or determining it?
My Thoughts:
This is a good episode I have seen a few different times. It is one that was on one of the volume DVDs I owned. Surprisingly there was no extras attached to this episode.
44. The Lateness of the Hour (12/2/60)
Dr. Loren enjoys the faultless robot services he has invented. His daughter (Inger Stevens), however, feels imprisoned by them - and soon learns how right she is!
My Thoughts:
This is another one that I had on one of the volume DVDs. Is a good episode... but unfortunately the quality of this episode wasn't as good as any of the previous episodes. It wasn't really bad... but there was some interference. The extras that came with this episode are... Original Production Slate and Twilight Zone Radio Drama starring Jane Seymour and James Keach.
45. The Trouble with Templeton (12/9/60)
Booth Templeton (Brian Aherne) is an aging actor who longs for the old days when his wife was alive. Miraculously, he is given a sobering glimpse of the past he holds so dear.
My Thoughts:
And yet another one I watched on one of the volume discs I had. It is a good episode... I definitely enjoyed it... but it is far from a favorite for me. The transfer was right good on this one... I didn't see or hear a single problem. The extras attached to this one include an interview with Buzz Kulik and an Isolated Music track.
46. A Most Unusual Camera (12/16/60)
Two thieves (Fred Clark and Jean Carson) discover that a camera they have stolen takes pictures of the future - a gold mine in greedy hands. But not every photo develops as might be expected.
My Thoughts:
This one I have never seen before. And was a really good episode... I enjoyed every minute of it. The quality was great... no audio or video problems what so ever. Unfortunately there wasn't much at all for extras attached to this episode... only the Isolated Score.
47. Night of the Meek (12/23/60)
Christmas in the Twilight Zone. Art Carney is a forlorn department store Santa who takes to drinking - only to find himself experiencing the nicest Christmas ever!
My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. A Twilight Zone Christmas episode. I have seen this one a number of times and enjoyed it each time. I think Art Carney did a great job as the department store Santa. The only extra attached to this episode is the Original Production Slate... which is just showing them use the clapper board for the first time when making the episode... nothing special but nice that they added.
48. Dust (1/6/61)
A man is about to be hanged for drunkenly running over a little girl in a decaying town. But when the girl's anguished father (Vladimir Sokoloff) flings "magic dust" into the air, a change comes over the squalid village.
My Thoughts:
And another episode I have never seen. This was a very good episode... set back in the old west. I really enjoyed watching this one. I even liked the fact that it never did really explain what happen. You just had to take it for what it seemed. The only extras with this episode was an interview with Douglas Heyes... and the Isolated Score.
My Thoughts On Season 2: Disc 2:
This was a good disc... enjoyed the whole disc... even though I have seen most of the episodes on this one... there was still a couple new ones to me... and that is always a good thing.
