Friday the 13th Part III – Those Who Died With Dirty Asses
I could never be a real storyteller. As I’m sure anyone who has ever listened to me ramble (or even read it here) knows, I’m too wordy. I can never disseminate what’s essential and what can be left out. I … Continue reading

Friday the 13th Part 2 – Moonlight Swim
There are a few milestones in life that most people never forget – graduations, weddings, births, and even first kisses. I’ve gone through all of those (yeah, that’s right – I kissed a girl!). There’s another milestone that most of … Continue reading

Friday the 13th Part IV – Jason’s Curious Behavior

Friday the 13th Part VI – Jason’s Motive
I’m always wary when a sequel takes it as its mission to explain away any sense of mystery that is prevalent in a movie. The part of Halloween that completely strikes a nerve with me is that Michael stalks Laurie … Continue reading

Friday the 13th Part IV – Love is a Lie
It’s almost impossible to talk with someone about Friday the 13th Part IV for more than five minutes without discussing Crispin Glover’s spastic dance scene. There’s a good reason for that too. It’s one of the most memorable scenes in … Continue reading

Friday the 13th Part IV – What if a psycho wanders in?

Friday the 13th Part VI – Daddy Comforts Megan
It’s not often in my life that I have to deliver bad news. Even when I do, it’s minor stuff. Early on in my marriage, I had to inform my wife that her cat had died, but even this was … Continue reading
