I
t was a warm morning when I once again arrived at Mouthful of Grandma�s house. I arrived just in time to see Adam Howard pull up in his slick caddy, and Son Pablo was already inside. Howard and I strolled up the steps and into MoG�s house and were relieved to feel the refreshing cool of air conditioning. Son Pablo was actively seeking to swallow a small pillow and MoG was on the floor looking for his hair piece. We greeted them and made our way to the refrigerator where we browsed the miniscule selection for breakfast. Just then Jungle Bunny showed up and Matt Perry mysteriously walked out of the nearest closet. It was time to go. The trip to Saginaw was uneventful but we made good time, we pulled up to the theatre around 11:00 o�clock in the AM. We all walked slowly up to the to the building.
We all came to a stop in front of the door at the same time, as if we had planned it that way. Several seconds went by� It was time to go see Freddy vs. Jason
Yeah that�s right, the silent bad ass stalker Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th flicks and the pedophile Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. We walked into the theater and each paid the price to get in, So unless your 17, your probably wont get in Now begins the review. Well, the truth is I was never a big fan of either of the franchises, but I favored Freddy a bit more for his witty humor. Anyway the movie manages to find a way to finally bring the 2 slasher film heavy weights together in a semi-believable way. The atmosphere of the movie is that of a 80�s horror flick, but don�t let that fool you, the film doesn�t take itself too seriously, if it did, it would not have worked as well. Besides that the main point is Freddy vs. Jason, and how they kill a bunch of people to get at each other. So push the story away and relax you under worked brain and prepare to be entertained. And entertaining it truly was! This movie has everything a typical teenage male could hope for, humor, over the top gore effects, gallons of blood, and action. Don�t go in expecting to get attached to the characters because 99% are slaughtered. Whenever you think this guy�s going to make it till the end, WHAM he�s cut in half by a machete. What really surprised me was how cool Jason was, his immense strength and bad ass-ness is off the charts. The movie goes on with Jason and Freddy racking up kills until they meet make a bloody mess of each other, then back off, then meet again and turn each other into a cut up mass of gore. By the end of the movie we were all rooting for the bad guys, I personally changed my vote to Jason. When it was over we stood up clapped and walked out satisfied with this extremely entertaining pop-corn flick. All in all I would give this movie 5 stars (of 5) because of its great entertainment value, not for its story or acting. We all went out to eat at The Golden China, where an odd man kept trying to start a conversation with us. But that�s a story for another time (to be ellaborated on by MoG).
