Nice I bought Jason Goes to Hell about a year ago for 10 bucks, and added Jason X to my DDD order for 9. I hate the movie, but...hey, I've gotta have a complete collection

Jeez, I'm weak. I pulled the trigger and used a 10% off DDD coupon to get it for 50 and change shipped. I'll just consider it an early birthday present to myself

My Best Buy has been sold out for a couple of days. I saw 2 copies last week. The local Meijer (mid-western grocery/department store chain) has had 3 copies in stock for a week or so. It's still to pricey for me, but I might consider buying it during DDDs next 20% off sale.

I disagree. Maybe a couple of the Friday films had worse acting, but in general the acting was much, much better. I also think that acting is important in these films. I'm not asking for De Niro in Godfather 2, but it's important for the actors to play the scares right. Freddy vs. Jason...

Subtlety and tone are the two words I'd use to differentiate between Halloween (the original) and the F13 series. Carpenter is able to use framing, camera movement, and sound better than anything else I can think of. Halloween is a true masterpiece, not only of the horror genre, but of film in...

I think 4 is the best of the series, but I'm a closet fan of 3. It's not that bad :) 5's good too, though a lot of fans hate that one because of the fake Jason.

Great review, Michael. I won't be buying the set (no job, no money :)), but I will be renting the bonus disc.
