Friday The 13Th Movie 2009
Posted by admin in New Movies on April 24th, 2009
Slasher flicks are time and time again a guilt-ridden enjoyment for numerous movie arers. Yes, they won’t gather critics’ votes. They won’t get A+ scores from the movie media. They won’t even get C scores from home-grown internet pundits. Slasher flicks will always be shriek-filled tales with meaningless outlines.
But throughout the years, these slasher movies have carved – excuse the clever remark – a place of their own.
A large part of the success of these slasher flicks can be credited to the Friday the 13th series and its 15 manifestations. Friday the 13th is a chain of movies that starred a hockey mask-wearing psycho killer named Jason Voorhees. So popular is this series that it has become a core of pop culture, being recommended in many news channels for a good part of the newly completed century.
In 2009, a rerun of the series will be presented for the movie going enthusiasts to live through. One more time, fans of slasher flicks and individuals who are new to the variety will have face the father of slasher-premised films, this time reinvented for the latest generation.
Right, Jason Voorhees is about to make a return!
This time, he won’t be battling another movie fiend icon. He won’t be in space, freed from years of cryogenic deam. He won’t be warding off the dare of a female telepath.
In its place, we will behold, or re-behold, the nativity of a serial predator. We will discover the tale that produced a mess such as Jason Voorhees. We will witness him frighten the unfortunate travelers experiencing the hot waters of Camp Crystal Lake.
It’s 2009 and it’s time for another Friday the 13th!
The restore is directed by Marcus Nispel, who also directed the restore of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie will present Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees, with Jared Padalecki and Amanda Righetti playing the male and female mains, respectively.
The movie will be shown on a Friday the 13th, particularly February 13, 2009.
The Haunting In Connecticut - The Un-Daunting Haunting In Connecticut
Posted by admin in New Movies on April 23rd, 2009
A few years ago, I watched a documentary on Discovery called “A Haunting In Connecticut” which is supposedly the story the movie is based on. The documentary gave me the creeps and left me intrigued and wanting to know more about the family it portrayed and the supernatural events they encountered. Sadly, the recent movie version of the true story was incredibly disappointing

“The Haunting In Connecticut” tells the story of a family forced to relocate to upstate Connecticut to be closer to the clinic where their son is being treated for cancer. Soon after moving, they realize that their charming house has a disturbing past as a funeral home in which horrendous acts of sorcery took place. Now, the ghost of Jonah, the clairvoyant son of the house’s former owner, is wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting family.
As appealing as the plot summary may sound, “The Haunting In Connecticut” left a lot to be desired. The majority of the “hauntings” were nothing more than hallucinations caused by the son’s (Matt’s) medications. He is undergoing experimental cancer therapy, and it’s the medications more than anything that are making him see things. In some parts of the movie, actual hauntings do occur, but they are underdone and badly acted.
“The Haunting In Connecticut” received an average of only 5 out of 10 stars by viewers nationwide, according to several popular movie review websites. It is a conventional haunting movie which leaves little to the imagination. I found it to be nothing more than an over-hyped waste of a ticket price that relied on cheap jump-scares to frighten the audience.“The Haunting In Connecticut” gave me every reason to hate it. It threw every groan-worthy horror cliché into the mix (i.e. following strange noises into a creepy basement), and though it gave some cheap thrills, such as ‘people’ randomly walking on scene that only the audience can see, and a cast of characters that are so unexpectedly brilliant as to unquestioningly understand the cause of the house’s ‘occurrences’. I found myself waiting, throughout the entire film, for the plot to pick up and the movie to get better, and was disappointed to find that it never happened. “The Haunting In Connecticut” is definitely not worth the ticket price to anyone who has even a vague idea of what good horror is.
All in all, “The Haunting In Connecticut” would have done much better had it stayed truer to the documentary many of us saw on Discovery.
