Jason X (2001)

Now we are getting to the point where the series has gone to the outer limits of weirdness and it works so well because the makers know this and really push the boundaries of the series. This is a comedy with horror elements but the main focus of the film is definitely comedy and there are one liners thrown out with abandon.

The performances from Jason and the 'victims' are all very good and to watch this and give a spoilerific review would simply be to go through all the jokes and repeat the one liners. It is funny and given the right atmosphere then there would be raucous out loud laughing.

This is 4 stars of Space bound horror comedy for me, there is an excellent cameo at the start from David Cronnenberg who comes from nowhere and there are some excellent jokes in this film. If you watch 2 Friday films, watch the first one and this one.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life (2003)

So I progressed after watching the first Lara Croft film to the sequel and it was much the same as the original, this time there was more of a love interest involved with Gerard Butler playing that role also you had Angelina Jolie being asked to follow the crusade by the British Government moving her into the James Bond role from Indiana Jones. Again there was nothing wrong with the film it was easy enough to follow with some good fight scenes and some interesting ideas.

Angelina Jolie is actually a very good actress in my opinion she carries this role off really well, again I have no knowledge fo the character from the videop game so no idea if it is a good portrayal but she carries the emotional scenes off and I believed when she had teasr they were real.

The story is nothing mind blowing and is of interest so I will give this 3 stars it is enjoyable but would be a guilty pleasure to watch more than once, I probably will re-watch both these films in the future.
