Blah, blah, blah...a bunch of years ago Jason's mom, campers, drown,
decapitated...blah. So now some annoying weedsmokers come along, go
camping and talk about stupid shit. Jason kills them in boring ways while
lens flares shoot off like it's the Fourth of July. Fast-forward six
months and another, maybe even more annoying, group of douchers show up
to par-tay. There's also a handsome, sulky guy on a motorcycle looking for
his missing sister. Once again, Jason shows up and kills a bunch of
people. The End.
When I sat down to watch this I figured it was going to piss me off, but luckily
it was too soulless to anger me. Instead of getting upset I just kinda sat
there in a daze wondering how much time it must have taken Jason to dig all of
those tunnels and then wire them with electricity and booby traps.
Forgettable kills, Jason looks stupid, Danielle Panabaker looking hot, zero
gore, very little blood,
bonerless tits, Jason the electrician, lens flares, annoying dialogue, binge drinking,
weed. Better than that JASON GOES TO HELL, but it's still a weak cash
grab. Skip it.

EVERY GIRL SHOULD BE MARRIED (1948)
Poor Cary Grant. He's a simple bachelor who just wants to be left alone to
his simple life, but oh no! Once Betsy Drake gets a look at him at the
local drug store she begins stalking him. Literally stalking him.
She initially flirts with him at the store, but he's not interested so she goes
to his work, then looks up everything she possibly can about him all the way
back to his old yearbooks! Next she starts showing up at his favorite
restaurants. During one of these restaurant stalking outings she talks to
him and leads him to believe that she has a boyfriend in an attempt to make him
jealous (he's not), but then the lie backfires when the guy she says she's
dating shows up and tries to rape her!!! Not at the restaurant, but at his
house. In exchange for not calling the cops about the attempted sexual
assault (she got away by bashing him in the skull with a shovel and escaping
over a fence) he gives her a job in the basement of his store. What a guy. Things go on like this for the rest of the movie with
Betsy badgering the living hell out of Grant nonstop and even continuing
the fake boyfriend charade with the pervert dude and yet
another guy!
I guess the writers found all of this to be very funny (and maybe I'm looking into the story too much) but I found the whole thing depressing. Poor Grant can't have a moments peace and Betsy, who is clearly mentally deranged, repeatedly places herself in dangerous situations in delusional attempts to get Grant's attention. If the roles had been reversed and it was a male stalking a female all over the joint he would have been thrown in jail.
Watch if you want, but if want my advise: skip it. If you need me I'll be in my room watching BRINGING UP BABY.

AMERICA 3000 (1986)
That poster might scream "Awesome!", but this post-apocalyptic action/comedy is
nothing but a battle of the sexes snoozer with ugly environments, boring action
scenes, zero nudity and unfunny humor.
Nine-hundred years after all out nuclear war, Colorado is just a burnt out desert populated by a bunch of cavemen-like dudes and cavewomen-like chicks who hate each other and are constantly having little skirmishes. Boring skirmishes. One day a cavemen falls in a hole and discovers an old fallout shelter full of crap like guns, a gold suit and a ancient boombox. Further fighting happens until the two factions discover that they should be making love not war and suddenly everybody throws downs their weapons and starts making out. The End. So that's it huh? Just sudden peace? What about the eunuchs or the really ugly or that monster creature dude? The population is just so perfectly aligned that everybody is now in a happy relationship?
What a crap movie. The story is so bare that they had to utilize a narrator to keep things together. Everybody talks in some silly future language with phrases like "That's fan-plastic!" and "Plugart’s got neggie smarts for tricken no-one!" There's no cars so that means no awesome Mad Max-style car chases. Low-budget sets that look like garbage.
Not annoyingly bad, just boring. I can't imagine that any adult seeing this for the first time would enjoy it.
