Seeing as how it would take a long time and a lot of effort on my part to review every single movie individually I'm going to lump some of them together.
Firstly there is the original movie. This is a great movie that started a generally good series of horror flicks. Mrs. Voorhees kills camp counselors who had let her disfigured son drown because they were off having sex. Very good movie 9/10.
The next two movies, Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part 3 shall be reviewed together. This is the beginning of Jason coming back to life to kill anyone who dares visit Crystal lake. Part 3 is when Jason gets his famous hockey mask and was also originally in 3D. Both of these get 7/10.
Parts 4-6 had some of my favorite deaths in the series, including someone getting their head slammed into the metal side of a van/RV so hard the face leaves an imprint. More greatness about these three include a young boy killing Jason with his machete, another young boy defying the horror stereotype regarding black people by surviving, a character lasting throughout 3 films and the cheesy yet somehow catchy end song of part 6, "Man Behind the Mask". I hereby grant all 3 movies a 8/10.
Parts 7-9 are where the series starts to take a turn for the worse. The plot is at its weakest. Trying to make it even more far out by adding a girl with telekinesis, transplanting Jason to Manhattan and turning Jason into some weird demon slug thing. Overall these movies suck pretty hard, however part 9 does have my favorite kill of the series in which a girl having sex is ripped almost completely in half by a highway reflective pole. These three get 5/10.
Jason X is the 10th movie in the franchise. This movie is a slight improvement over the last three, but not by much. Jason becomes frozen after killing someone and is reawakened in the future to kill and cause havoc. Some decent kills in this movie including the most difficult one in the franchise. It gets a 6/10.
The reboot of the franchise that came out earlier this year was honestly pretty good. Bringing a whole new sense of terror to the franchise. The kills are sadistic and well done. Honestly I greatly enjoyed this movie 8/10.
That about wraps it up for now. Until next time, adios.

This is the Post that Never Ends... Or does it?
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I've been quite busy and will on,ly be getting more busy. I do have much to share though so strap yourself in for a long read.
First up, I want to tell you about Dragonball Kai. This anime is an HD re-release of Dragonball Z, celebrating it's 20th anniversary, but that's only the beginning. There are also new sound effects, some new dialogue voiced by the original cast, as well as new opening and ending sequences. Oh, and they are more closely following the manga and have cut all of the filler that was created for the show due to it being aired while the manga was still being released. I suggest you watch it if you are a fan of Dragonball Z. Watch here.
I've gotten back into playing on Byond and boy, has it changed quite a lot. It's not nearly as uniformly set out as it used to be. The coding system appears to be more advanced ergo the experience of the game play has improved. If you didn't know Byond is a free site that utilizes a free program to host user-created games. Many of these games are multi-player, allowing you to interact with others. Although this isn't necessarily a good thing because there are a lot of ass holes who play these games and they are more than happy to harass you. But that doesn't apply to all games. There are also some single player games that can be very fun depending on your interests. All of the games use a 2D format thus it is quite reminiscent of the old NES, SNES and Genesis consoles. Many of the more popular games are based on anime such as Bleach, Naruto and Dragon Ball /Z/GT as well as many devoted to Final Fantasy. There are even some Text-based games that are like an online Dungeons & Dragons experience (table-top D&D that is). I suggest trying it if you are into that sort of thing. Remember it's virus-free and costs nothing to play. To check it out go here.
Now to review some movies. Last week I had the opportunity to rent Coraline. Of course, I loved every minute of it. That sort of weird animation just really appeals to me. I'm sure most of you have seen it so I won't go into the plot. I give it a 9/10. Along with Coraline I rented this movie called Undead. It's a zombie movie that is quite over the top. It takes place in England or Australia, I'm not sure which because they all speak like the Brits and play cricket, but at one point there was the Australian national flag so that confused the hell out of me. I'm not even sure if they play cricket in Australia. Anyways the movie was okay for a b-movie, the effects were decent, the make-up was pretty good and I even got a few laughs out of it. The best part of it has to be the farmer-looking fisherman/gun salesman who uses 3 shotguns linked together. Pretty fucking sweet. This movie gets a 6/10.
I have also been reading through more of the manga I have listed on the right and am getting much closer to being caught up with Zombie Loan. It turns out that Zombie Loan is made by the same two women who are working on Shugo Chara (have I mentioned this before? If I have I'm saying it again), which explains the similar comedy. As soon as I am fully caught up with that I'll start taking a swing at reading Naruto again. If only I had an extension on my lifespan. That's all for today!

Harry Potter And the Order of the Sorcerer's Half-blood Hangover of the Chamber of Azkaban
Today I was able to see some great movies. I finally got to see Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince along with The Hangover. Of course Harry Potter is loosely based on the book by the same name. I only say loosely because I'm not so sure a lot of the parts were in there, then again I only read the book once where as I've read the first five at least 7 times each. Never-the-less the movie was still great. I loved every minute that I saw when I wasn't waiting in a horrendously long line for a drink refill or running to the bathroom because I drink too much. 9/10 for movie 6/8 (the last book was split into two movies).
The Hangover was hilarious. There's a good reason why it was the number one movie in America for so long. The whole time I was thinking "I could totally see me and my buddies doing this". I also loved the whole cast, even though many of them I hadn't seen before or had only seen a few times. I can't wait to get it on DVD. 9/10 to this glorious comedy.
