Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

by Leave a comment

It’s difficult to criticise someone for trying something new.

It’s even more difficult to criticise director Adam Marcus for Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. After all, this was a franchise that had far surpassed its sell-by-date, one that should have died with the 80s following 1989’s censorship debacle Jason Takes Manhattan, which was not only disfigured beyond recognition by the all censoring powers that be, but was even forced to renege on its gimmicky promise of New York City, most of the movie actually being shot in Vancouver, Canada […]

June 1993 was all about one movie: the long-anticipated adaptation of Michael Crichton’s prehistoric Techno-thriller Jurassic Park.

Not only was it the most expensive and impressive looking film in history, it was a breathtaking exercise in action as terrifying as it was ironic, taking an already winning formula and flipping it on its head. Not only would this ingenious turnabout wow audiences the world over, its influence would inspire a multitude of low-budget production companies looking to cash in on its popularity […]

Stalking in Seattle – the twisted reality of Hollywood’s most famous crush.

by 5 Comments

The other night I found myself channel surfing like I sometimes do in the wee small hours.

On this occasion, Sleepless in Seattle happened to be on, so I began watching, happy to revisit what is admittedly an old favorite of mine. I know it’s hard to believe, but I do love me some schmaltzy love stories, particularly those that have a hint of nostalgia to them. However, it wasn’t long before I began to realise something […]
