Flight of the Last Vampire
So I went to blockbuster yesterday and picked up some movies, as I am one to do. The movies that I'm reviewing are Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane and Blood: The Last Vampire. Neither of these movies were really that great. Both movies seemed to be fairly low-budget with casts of mostly unknowns. Flight of the Living Dead is pretty self explanatory, some sort of virus that was developed by the government to bring the dead to life is transported on a plane and eventually causes zombies to run a muck. 4/10 for only the fact that I love zombies so much. Blood: The Last Vampire is a 2009 live-action movie loosely based on the anime Blood+. I do mean loosely So loosely only the main character Saya is the only thing that's really in common. There is no other character from the anime in this movie, the plot is completely different and she even uses a different sword. It's not even the same as the 2000 animated movie by the same name that really launched the series. The effects weren't that great either, the "vampires" looked more like claymation of the late 80s/early 90s. Totally fucked that one up 1/10.

Apologies
Sorry for not updating in so long. My computer decided to quit reading my browser so I was forced to upgrade to Windows 7 (which is actually a great improvement over Vista). This fixed the problem I had with the internet, but the Windows 7 decided to block access to my CD/DVD-ROM drive, so I was unable to complete my Halloween movies. Two weeks after posting a plea for help on the Microsoft Answers forum, I have yet to receive an answer to my problem. So yes in the back of my mind I have been quite pissed the past few weeks. But I shall post reviews of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, Blood: The Last Vampire (2009), Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, Inuyasha, Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Miss Congeniality over the next few days. Until the next sunrise, good night.

Friday the 13th 11 Movie Reviews
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.
