Jarhead Has every great war movie that was ever possible already been made?? Certainly Apocalypse Now in 1979 set the bar so high that itās obviously clear it will never be topped, and pretty much every war movie made in the last 10 to 15 years has mostly been crap (Hurt Locker notwithstanding), full of […]
Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday When Paramount Pictures (who had often considered the Friday The 13th Series to be a laughable, yet highly profitable low rent, low budget film franchise for them) sold off the rights for the Jason Voorhees character (but not the actual Friday The 13th name) to New Line Cinema, […]
Jason X Prior to his big showdown with Freddy Krueger, The Jason Series just had to hit its nadir first.
