Here we go again! Jason is back at it, and the slashing is back in the new Friday The 13th new in theaters this week.
This is movie number twelve in this series and it attempts to introduce the whole concept to a new and younger generation of movie goers. It borrows some of the history from the first four movies, and then whips it up with a new, contemporary look. This may shock you, but in many ways, it still looks like the old movies. But, and this is important... there are some HUGE differences.
This is squarely targeted at young movie goers, teens and after teens. It is rated R, and deservedly so. The teen characters in this movie look and act nothing like the teens of movies past. The teens in the originals had their problems and reflected the era at the time. Let's hope that that's not true here. These teens here are rich, bratty kids, who have no respect for any one's property, or belongings. They spend every waking hour looking for drugs, or doing drugs, or hoping to start trafficking drugs. They are angry by nature, they can't say a sentence that's not laced with awful language, and they don't respect each other, themselves, or anyone else. They spend a life's savings on drugs, and drug paraphernalia, booze, and porn.
They drink non-stop all while smoking pot non-stop, drive Escalades, trash their parents million dollar beach house, have sex with whoever is available, and video tape themselves doing that, and every other thing you can imagine. They are so unlikeable you may actually have some empathy for Jason. The reason I bring this up is this. It's no secret that minors sneak into R rated movies all the time. I did see hastily made signs at the theater today stating that they will be patrolling the theaters and minors will not be tolerated in R rated movies. I think it's in relation to this movie. All of the mentioned behavior is completely glorified to the hilt, and you may not be keen on your kids witnessing this presented in this manner on screen. If you're fine with it, disregard the above.
To it's credit, there are some "jolty" moments, and there is a sense of suspense at times. There is also a feeble attempt at the "beauty and the beast" formula, that fails miserably. And the ending you'll see coming a mile away. But if it's slashing and blood you want, then Friday The 13th is the pick of the weekend for you. I don't mind a good slasher movie at all, I grew up with them too, but there is nothing new here at all in the slasher realm.
Friday The 13th. It's just what you remember at times. But was really scary here had nothing to do with the shash-er. The real scary part for me were the shash-ees!

MOVIE REVIEW - The Uninvited
A week or two ago the new scary flick The Uninvited hit the theaters, and the thud was ...well a thud. The Uninvited, should have been left off the guest list.
This is the story of a young girl, Anna, and her dealing with the death of her mother, who died under suspicious circumstances. Her incredibly rich author father has taken up residence with his new girlfriend, who appears to be 20 years his junior. Anna unable to cope with her loss and life's rapidly changing pace, is placed in a mental institution after a suicide attempt. At the movies start she is released and is sent home.
Anna cannot deal with all the changes in her young life. Her runaway imagination has her thinking her mother was killed by the new girlfriend, and we're supposed to believe it too. Trouble here is. we don't really care about any of these people, and that's TI's really big problem. There's just no real interest in the whole thing.
I was checking my watch plenty during this borefest wondering if I was going to stay awake long enough to witness the inevitable plot twist that was bound to come. You didn't know exactly what it was, but you know it's coming. Luckily for me I wasn't snoozing when it happened, but I should have been. (Good thing I napped beforehand) The performances are average, the plot has been done to death and there is no new ground broken here. They did film this movie though at one of the greatest houses you will ever see anywhere, that was cool.
There's nothing to this mess. Predictable, and formula driven, you're way ahead of this movie most of the time. Warning too....this movie is not scary! They want you to think it is, but it's not! It's just dark, and dim.
The Uninvited. Not inviting!

Why Should Anyone Be Surprised?
I was watching TV this week as were you more than likely and heard the news about Alex Rodriguez admitting to steroids use. And then Miguel Tejada being charged with lying to Congress in connection to the steroid thing. And the audio introduction was almost laughable. "And the sports world has been shocked at the A-Rod Story!"
Are you kidding me? Seriously, are you kidding me? Was anyone really shocked at the fact that yet two more of the sports biggest stars are mixed up in the whole steroid mess? What world are these TV people living in?
No one is a bigger baseball fan than me. I love the game, playing, going to the game, watching it on TV, following the game, box scores, going to Spring Training games. I love all that is baseball. The game itself is one of life's really great teachers in the game of life. You win, and you lose. No game mirrors real life better than baseball, in it's purest form. And now unfortunately in it's ugly side as well.
In Major League Baseball the climate has changed. Many of the players now seem to view the game more as entertainment rather than a game. And they've taken on many of the attributes that have been chasing Hollywood stars for decades. The "above it all" attitude." It's been that way since Babe Ruth for a certain few, but now it seems to be the prevailing theme. Lot's of these guys just think they can do what they want, when they want, whenever they want. And it's really tough to watch. Just as tough as many of the Hollywood "stars."
A-Rod this week just looks horrible. Lying, cheating, and spinning everything, bordering on trying to look like the victim. Are you kidding me? Pressure from the big contract? I'm totally insulted, and you should be too. A-Rod only had about a jillion dollars in the bank BEFORE the big contract with the Rangers, and Yankees, so the pressure was clearly off. He just thought he was above it all, and that rules, consequences and doing the honorable thing was for other people. I write this today confident that A-Rod doesn't realize how bad he looks here, nor does he care. He still has the money, and it keeps pouring in.
Tejada? How long has been a good idea to lie to the federal government about a legal and topical issue? Never. What world is he living in? Clearly, the same world A-Rod is. Another bonehead decision. But again, the cash has been coming in, and the money train will continue to stop frequently at his bank.
So why on earth should we be surprised or shocked at any of this stuff. Shocking would be one of these clowns who gets caught juicing actually getting in front of their problems, and taking real responsibility for it, and quit trying to make themselves look anything but what they are. - Wrong! Dead Wrong! I would like to hear the whole story from just one of these guys, how much, how long, how much money it cost them, and who else did it with them, and the real reason they did it. Because it's flat out the money. Remember, it's entertainment not a game to them.
For those down the road who will be exposed, quit insulting us for crying out loud, and be an example for young people to follow, and finally be a major leaguer.....in life. Because the guys considered to be the best Major Leaguer, just proved he's nothing more than bush-league!

MOVIE REVIEW - He's Just Not That Into You.
Every actor in Hollywood seemingly lined up behind each other to star in the new box office hit He's Just Not That Into You. The list of Hollywood B plus types is too long to list, and but you've seen the trailers and you know how they are.
This is a movie version of a big book of the same name written a few years ago, that looks at modern day young love and it's new hurdles. It also looks at some of the same old timeless rifts between men and women and the way they look at love, romance, dating, infidelity, being married, getting married, living together and just how we try to communicate.
It's a twisted, complicated formula, where all the characters seemingly detached at the movies outset, are actually all tied together at the movies end. There are some really funny moments here, and the look at love and relationships is honest, even brutal at times. There's a sense of realness here too that makes everyone in the audience totally relate to one, or maybe two of the characters. You may have been one, or two of them in your own life.
With all the star power here, I will tell you the movies gem is the lesser know of the bunch. Make NO mistake this movie belongs to Ginnifer Goodwin - period. She is the "lead" character, single and starving for love. She is attractive, smart, pleasant, and totally attention hungry. Her skills with boys or men is atrocious and she provides this movie with virtually all it's fun, laughs, heart and soul. She is a pathetically dating challenged young woman, who has all this drama surrounding her, as she attempts to carve out true love for herself out of granite using a spoon.
Goodwin is terrific! The rest are good, but all sit in the back seat with Goodwin clearly at the wheel. I'm not sure if this is a romantic comedy or a docudrama about love, probably both. BUT this is a good time at the movies to be sure. Plus it will stir up plenty of coffee shop fodder afterwards. Good for all who are in love, or want to be, this is a fun flick overall.
But be warned, there are problems. One is the length, 2 hours 10 minutes. Too long! And there are too many characters. Example- There is no reason for Drew Barrymore to be in this movie. Her character is basically written out, and that whole plot line was not needed. At times all seem to be battling for screen time, but you would expect as much from this many stars in on place at one time.
He's Just Not That Into You. Goodwin = Goodtime!

MOVIE REVIEW - The Wrestler
The Wrestler is out now in sort of wide release, has a few nominations to it's credit, and is has been touted as the comeback of Mickey Rourke. Huh? The comeback of Mickey Rourke? Have we been waiting for this?
The Wrestler is a chilling, raw, gritty piece starring Rourke as "Randy The Ram" a professional wrestler from the mid 1980's, when pro wrestling was really starting to become HUGE business. It's it now 20 plus years later, he's older, tired, broken down, and has problems a plenty, trying to survive in the wrestling world still. Randy has never grown up, and has blown every opportunity presented to him recently through self-destruction. He's a nice enough guy, he's just a broken down shell of a wrestler that he once was. He has wandered though life with no plan, or vision for life after wrestling. Randy has mistakenly believed the crowds would never turn on him and the money and fame would always be there for the taking - forever.
He befriends a stripper, "Cassidy" (Marissa Tomei) who herself passed her stripping prime 10 years ago. She too is surviving in a world that has grown up without her tagging along. Randy has a grown daughter that doesn't care much for him or his irresponsible way of life. The Wrestler walks us through Randy's journey to try to reclaim some of the "glory" from his life 2o years ago in the wrestling ring, that we learn in the long run has not been good to him. He is also desperate for someone in his life, thus the attempted reconnect with his daughter, and a love interest in Cassidy.
The Wrestler is certainly interesting film making. It's shot in sort of a docu-drama format. There's no narration, but sometimes it has that feel of a PBS special and a movie combined into one. To it's credit, it's a very honest look as a very dishonest "sport." It's raw, edgy, gritty, and very palpable at times, and those are all good things. Rourke is strong as our hero, and the fact that he's been out of the spotlight himself, makes him very believable in this role. Tomei, again is perfectly cast, and really takes huge risks with her lack of wardrobe for most of her moments on screen.
But after looking at all the positives and there are many, The Wrestler to me in a word? Overrated. There's nothing terribly wrong here, there's just nothing over the top right either. I like honest movies and The Wrestler is one. But this movie only possesses the elements of being good, not being great. It is a solid movie, not a great one as Hollywood would have you believe. Although, if you are of the age now that can walk back to the mid 80's when wrestling was a big part of your life, this movie will speak directly to you and you will connect.
The Wrestler. Good. Not Great.

MOVIE REVIEW - New In Town
New In Town, the new Renee Zellweger/Harry Connick Jr. romantic comedy hit the box office with a tremendous thud this weekend, and deservedly so. This movie has a few problems, the main one being, too much "Z" and not enough "C Jr."
NIT is the story of a powerful Miami business woman (Zellweger) who is trying to become a Vice President in this major food conglomerate. (Zellweger as a high power business woman? Boy, that's believable isn't it?) She volunteers to go to rural Minnesota to help spearhead one of their manufacturing plants as they convert over to automation and eliminate a bunch of jobs. She has to live there for a number of months, and learn the ways of the quirky Minnesotans. This is supposed to be the funny part.
She meets Ted (Connick Jr.) and of course he's on the opposite end. He's a blue collar, slob of sorts. He is also the head of the local union that represents all the people in the plant. He drives a truck, listens to country music, in other words, light years from her. And guess what? They fall in love. No need for Sominex tonight, this will make you snooze. The old and tired fancy girl and slobby guy routine. That's the romantic part.
NIT looks like a fun movie at first glance, but it's not. This movie is so awkward at times it borders on the uncomfortable. It's not written, or acted well, and is no where near original. Zellweger falls flat on her face. She was exceptionally funny in the Bridgette Jones movies, and should get kudos there. But here? Too much of her NOT being funny, or attractive, or likeable, endearing, or anything. "Open up the bomb bay doors....it's bombs away!." Connick Jr, is certainly likeable enough, but there's too little of him, and even his major league charm can't save NIT from first circling the drain, and then going down it at 500 mph.
Finally, the lampooning of the accents and quirkiness of the folks from Minnesota has been done to death since the terrific Fargo in the 1990's. And they did it great! We've seen it all before now, and even that's old and tired.
New In Town. Looks fun...by and large it's not. You can do better for your money in the theater next door, and I don't even know what's playing there.

I'm Not Buyin' It!
Sitting in my home office today, Superbowl Sunday I'm looking out at a beautiful, sunny,winter day. Temperatures around 45....aw yes...a thaw from winters icy grip. We're all crammed full of blissful glee, until we see the long term forecast for the next ten days or so. So today's a big tease.
This has been pretty tough winter so far, and we're just in first days of February. I don't know about you, but I've had enough. But those who claim they haven't had enough? The ones that make bold claims about how much they love winter? That's a lot of gas, I'm not buyin' it!
I have this theory. I'm good with snow, the cold and ice and white Christmases and the whole bit from Thanksgiving till New Years Day. Why not? It's nice, pretty, gives the whole holiday season a nice touch. Then on January 2? It can be 75 degrees again, because the winter is no longer adding to the ambiance. As a matter of fact it becomes a royal pain in the ambiance. Pristine snow turns to snirt (snow and dirt) and slush, (no translation required.) Lovely! You say you don't mind that? I'm not buyin' it!
Don't hand me this cra......crud about nice winter. How's the driving been treating you? Boy hasn't the shoveling been a joy? Okay maybe you're like me and you have a snow blower. That maniacal bliss of throwing one of mother natures elements several yards, wears off after about 30 days. How have those stalagtights hanging from your house been? Fallen yet? Battery cacked yet? Gas and electric bills ....a laugh a minute too huh?
All of the forementioned are just backing for my theory mentioned above. About 30 days of this stuff is all we really need. After that, it's just not fun anymore. We've been sledding, skiing, and strolled through the winter wonderland at the holidays. Now were just ticked! Even the most die hard skier has to run in from the slopes to sit in front of the fire in the lodge and drink a Toddie or two. If it's really so great out there, just finish off a great night at the slopes, pitch a tent an sleep outside with all the rest of your cold weather companions. The rest of us have bbq's to have, golf to play, and cars to wash in our shorts!
All kidding aside, In think we've paid our dues this winter, and we need a break. Now Monday that stinkin' rat, I mean cute little groundhog comes out of the ground and gives us the skinny. More winter or early spring. That's a bunch of hooey too. We trust a bunch of guys in tuxedos and stove pipe hats, who have been hitting the sauce since 5 am on a cold day in February in a town in Pennsylvania that has about 9 people in it to correctly interpret an uninterested rodents meteorological mentality. Are we nuts? I'm not buyin' it!
Someone better sober those clowns up and have a talk with that rat. We need an early spring!
