| WHAT THEY SAY |
| If you're looking for terror, here comes a perfect ten. In the year 2455, on a routine training mission, a team of students is about to learn a terrifying lesson. Through the years, Jason Vorhees has claimed over 200 victims. Now, the legendary killer from Crystal Lake is back, hurtling through space and hunting new prey. Jason X is a nerve-shredding thriller loaded with spectacular special effects, hi-tech weapons, and new ways to die. |
MY THOUGHTS |
| What a fun romp! Jason is back as his usual unrelenting killing machine self, and that's how I like it! The whole freeze and wake up in the future felt completely unnecessary, other then setting the stage for giving the movie an Alien-ish feel. Which isn't too bad, but it's clearly a weak attempt at it. Going to the future is probably also the only way they found to make "Uber-Jason".. Which I liked by the way, for some reason! It's still better than what they did in "Jason Goes to Hell"! In my opinion anyway.. Though I do find it quite convenient that the nano-machines would activate just like that, out of the blue. So yeah, I thought it was a fun movie. Totally over the top, not taking itself seriously at all, and I thought it worked. Just don't go into expecting horror. This an action comedy, at best, with some gore. Some of the deaths are actually very gruesome. Kane Hodder reprising the role of Jason is a good move. I like him in the role. Like I said before, he brings a presence. And for a character that doesn't talk, he manages to give Jason some sort of "personality", some purpose. But... Jason has hair now?? Seriously! They had the look of Jason down so well in parts 7 and 8.. Why did they have to break all that in Goes to Hell and X?? Oh well.. |

Heartbreakers, a review by Dragonfire
My ThoughtsI've seen this one a few times and I still enjoy it. Paige did annoy me at times with her attitude, but it wasn't so bad that it interfered with my enjoyment of the movie. Some of what was going on was extremely silly, but I still thought it worked and made an entertaining movie. I did think some things were very funny. This isn't a movie that will appeal to everyone, though I suppose some may enjoy seeing Jennifer Love Hewitt strut around in in the tight, skimpy outfits that she looked ready to pop out of.
I did post a review of this movie on Epinions a few years ago if anyone wants to take a look.

Plot:
In Miss Yukari's English class, every day is an adventure.
First off, there's the airhead teacher herself. She may have graduated from high school, but she sure hasn't left. And with the arrival of two transfer students - a ten-year-old prodigy and a space cadet - it's going to be an intersting class! Between handling enormous assignments, dodging murderous volleyballs, and eduring endless rivalries, summer vacation should serve as a welcome break for the weary student - unless your teachers come with you! Getting through three years alive with this motley crew is going to be an adventure!

One of my favorite anime series. The first episode is a good introduction to the characters. And this series gets better and better later on.
You can find my series review here. This review is a little outdated though. I mentioned having only read one manga so far. This is not true anymore. I have read a lot more now. I also mention that my current avatar is based on a character from this series. This is still true. I still use it to this day.
