It was ok. A lot of funny moments with the kids. It was kind of your typical alien movie(alien wants to get home, alien gets home), but entertaining nonetheless.

Brief prequel at the start about Jason and his mother was appreciated for those of us who never saw the past titles. I thought that it was going to be a little more suspenseful but turns out it was a teen porno/drama/slash fest.

Honestly though if you see one you've basically seen them all anyways.Except for the first one of course as there was no Jason at that point and so they had to work extra special hard to make it sufficiently shitty.
Anyway I watched Green Lantern and while I think it doesn't deserve the terrible rating it got on Rotten Tomatoes it's total lack of charm not to mention humanity leaves me thinking that the writer got confused and thought he was writing a grocery list instead of a movie.
I've always said that superhero movies needed to be played basically straight to work but straight doesn't mean bloodless/emotionally empty.That and you should also never have "getting it right for fanboys" as your primary concern as I hate to break it to everyone but most comic source material is a big stinking pile of stupid.

Well I wheeled out the shank again last night (Shawshank Redemption) It is still the same funny, sad, thoughtful and uplifting movie it always was. This is one of those movies that does not date, and leaves you with a belief in the power of the human spirit.

Deja Vu (2006) Directed by Tony (I'm the brother not worthy of knighthood) Scott and starring Denzel Washington.
"New Orleans-based maverick ATF agent who is brought in on a top-secret government program to catch the terrorist responsible for a ferry bombing that kills hundreds. Able to do what most law enforcement officers only dream of, Carlin is now able to look back in time at the perpetrator's movements and at the life of the innocent woman whose death would set the events into motion".
Scott does his best to muck up the story with his idiotic Michael Bay slow-mo shots but nothing can detract from either the mounting tension or feelings of "what will happen next" that the movie generates. As an antithesis to something like Green Lantern the film also bleeds humanity even at it's silliest which unfortunately is pretty silly.
Anyway Washington is great as usual even if his character is a little familiar and the supposing cast ( Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel and Adam Goldberg among others) is nothing less than uniformly good.
Sentimentalist that I am I really enjoyed this movie, probably more than I should but sentiment aside it did keep me guessing ( and cheering for the good guys ) until the very last frame which is a feat in itself.
