 Friday the 13th (film series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In the second film, it is retroactively revealed that Jason did not drown in the lake and had been living as a hermit in the woods next to the camp for several decades.
Part 4, simply titled Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter featured up and coming 1980s stars Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover and did extremely well at the box office--so well that it immediately caused Paramount to go back on their plan to have the film serve as the ending to the Friday the 13th franchise.
While the film (which only featured Jason in the opening sequence and climactic final fight to the death) is often derided by fans, the final scene of Freddy Krueger's arm grabbing Jason's discarded hockey mask created a great deal of hype towards the possibility of a crossover between the characters.

The lack of extras for their Friday films is a real slap in the face to the loyal fans of the series who have been clamoring all these years for some supplements.
The first four Friday films were released with their theatrical art and looked perfect as they were.
But based on the merits of the film and its solid presentation, this is a must by for fans of the series and all slasher fans in general.

 The Night Writer - Fundamentals in Film
The interesting contrast for me between this film and others in the series is that in other movies the main character doesn't quite know what he is capable of and is unsure of what may happen when pushed to the brink.
In fact, the acting throughout the film, originally made for TNT, is first rate: Kathryn Ross (not afraid to show some lines in her face) and veteran character actor Barry Corbin are excellent and there's even a small but significant appearance by Festus himself, Ken Curtis.
In addition, the film’s illustration of the dehumanizing aspect of slavery without a racial element may be eye-opening for those who think of slavery as being a fl and white issue only.

 4/2/99: Film Score Friday
The final scene of the film is a jubilant shout for his returned abilities to rape and maim.
It is also one of his most difficult films to understand (many people, apparently, were "uplifted" by the incredibly cynical ending) and the one that explains the least about itself.
My conclusion is that, while "2001" would have been a better FILM with Alex North's score, it would not have been the same EVENT with it, and would not have had the same effect on film audiences around the world.

But what the filmmakers of Friday Night Lights don’t keep in mind is that Hoosiers always went for humanity — and thus perfectly married truth and entertainment.
Ironically, perhaps Friday Night Lights’s best emotional scene is an invented moment between father and son (Charlie and Don Billingsley) when after the big game, the father gives his son his own championship ring.

The film starts us off with the girl who survived from the first film, and we see Jason getting her own back on her, for killing his mum.
As we do get on the first film, there is quite a chilling chase sequence within the last 10 minutes of the film, with Jason chasing a teenage girl (of course).

 Facing South: Friday Film Blogging
I was involved in organizing screenings of his earlier films in the North Carolina Triangle (co-sponsored by the Institute for Southern Studies), and while they were well-attended, a persistent complaint was that the films weren’t reaching people to whom the films’ revelations might have been news.
Greenwald is still raising money for his film, which he plans to complete in time for a November 13 premiere.
My take on the film is that it's an allegory of America forsaking its natural blessings -- the bounty of the land and the dogged, optimistic spirit of its people -- and instead directing aggression outward.

 Freaky Friday film review
A 1995 TV movie saw Shelley Long in the role of the mother who swaps bodies with her petulant teenage daughter, and now it's Jamie Lee Curtis' turn to take over the reins.
It seems that there will always be a market for a wholesome family film in which a younger girl battles with an older female figure and the success of Freaky Friday resembles the similar box office achievement of last year's Princess Diaries.
There's none of that in Freaky Friday, where the turbulent teenager's mood swings and her hyper-organised mother's lives really reflect good wholesome American values: success through hard work, keeping a family unit together, and understanding each other's needs through regular communication.

 Film Review: 'Friday After Next': Who You Callin' a "Ho?"
But it is quite another thing for the film's promoters to superimpose the word "Ho!" over pictures of three young Black women on national television.
In the process, they spilled the film's ridicule of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, the reparations movement, O.J. and Rodney King to those who did not even see the film, and provided comfort to those in the larger community who hold racist ideas.
I realized that such a marketing strategy was successful when I saw two middle-aged White critics praising the film because it allowed them to be voyeurs into an inner-sanctum of the Black community that they did not usually access.

 Londonist: Friday Film News
At a time when oil prices are bubbling up and global warming has been acknowledged as a problem even in America, the last thing we need from movies is another celebration of driving.
While the film has "gorgeous graphics" the writing is "never in the same class" with its "generic sci-fi conspiracy plot".
Perhaps that's been acknowledged in the referential joke the artists put into the background of that scene: they meant the mountains made of Cadillac fins to celebrate and echo car history and culture, but perhaps a peak-oil end-game is also being ominously (and unintentionally?) signalled.

 Friday Night Film Series
The first feature film directed by Jean-Luc Godard and one of the seminal films of the French New Wave, Breathless is story of the love between Michel Poiccard, a small-time hood wanted for killing a cop, and Patricia Franchini, an American who sells the International Herald Tribune along the boulevards of Paris.
Much of the film's vigor comes from collisions between popular and high culture: Godard shows us pinups and portraits of women by Picasso and Renoir, and the soundtrack includes both Mozart's clarinet concerto and snippets of French pop radio.
When Breathless was first released, audiences and critics responded to the burst of energy it gave the French cinema; it won numerous international awards and became an unexpected box-office sensation.

As soon as the film began, I was taken in and the actors & actresses delivered.
By cleverly combining the talents of the actors, new director Steve Carr manages to "allow" the film to be basic, stylish and equally as intriguing as F. Gary Gray's original direction.
The real treat of this film besides the quick-hitting humor is that the filmmakers did not deal "too much" in trying to use many of the gimmicks and tricks of the original.
