Nadja, a review by goodguy

Nadja (1994)-

Cover blurb:

I know too little about the genre, but it seems that in the '90s, vampire movies entered the arthouse cinema, and some even in glorious black and white. The best known is probably Abel Ferrara's The Addiction, a philosophical meditation with then indie icon Lili Taylor as the lead.

Friday the 13th Part 2, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Friday the 13th Part 2
Movie Count: 91
TV Ep Count: 45
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 10am
Plot:
Five years after the horrible blood bath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At the nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling thriller.

My Thoughts:
The second movie in the series is a good one. This one Jason doesn't have his infamous hockey mask yet. Instead it is a burlap sack. I am enjoying this one just as much as the first... if not a hair better. These films seem to strike a good nostalgia cord for me. It seems  that no movies brings back the '80s for me more then the Friday the 13th movies for some reason.

Plot:
As they continue their studies into human society, our four fairies learn about the meaning behind holidays like New Year's and Valentine's Day. They're also schooled on the all-important subject of sports. With this much knowledge and perseverance they should definitely be able to become human! But with a strange education like this - reading, writing and 'rithmatic doesn't seem to be part of their curriculum - what sort of humans will they turn out to be?

The first twelve episodes was teaching the four bottle fairies about Japanese customs. One for each month. This last episode has the bottle fairies being transformed into a human girl with the character traits of all four. A nice episode, but they could have done more with the idea.
