Another Friday the 13th has come and gone. Thanks to various coincidences and an ancient Aztec curse, I always end up writing something about the movies of the same name around this time. I never would have categorized myself as a huge fan, but I have seen all of them and can name my favorites in the series (Part VI: Jason Lives, the original, and Jason X) as well as other esoterica (Best death? Either the sleeping bag from Part VII or face in the nitrogen from X) which I guess is all you need in order to qualify as an "expert" at something in the entertainment world.
Anyway, here's your Ft13 wrap-up:
Capsule reviews of the movies (excepting Freddy vs. Jason, which I have now seen and would give a "C")
Friday the 13th: The Best Kills - Hair Balls entry with relevant YouTube clips
My review of the Friday the 13th remake ** - In which I express my admiration for Michael Bay
Finally, The Thing that Walks Like a Man sent me a link to this, which is a nice little mash-up of the 13th movies and The Wrestler. Significant amounts of gore are included, so be warned.
Now we have to wait until November March (duh) to do it all over again.

Or, you know, March.
Jason X also had the best line in the whole series: “Guys, it’s okay! He just wanted his machete back.”
