Happy #fridaythe13th! Please enjoy my appreciation of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, which is not only my favorite movie in the franchise, but also (in my opinion) one of the best slashers ever made. For @denofgeek.bsky.social:

Friday the 13th Perfected the Jason Movie in The Final Chapter

It may have taken four movies, but Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is slasher perfection that defines the franchise.

BALLERINA is an example of doing franchise extension with no real story to tell. Aside from some inventive action in the middle, it's dull and far too reliant on the flagship. My review at @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/balle...

Ballerina Review: Ana de Armas Vehicle Doesn’t Hold A Candle To the John Wick Movies

Ballerina badly wants you to know it’s a John Wick spinoff, because it has little else to offer on its own.
