Friday The 13th

I've shown a movie or two that are underestimated, now I want to show a more popular category, which shows a once horror, now considered Suspense-Thriller Genre. For as long as I remember, the Friday The 13th films have made an impact for the Jason fans out there (at least along the first 2 or 3 amongst the 30 remakes and sequals...... yeesh). However the most recent remake, Marcus Nismel did an awesome job. Nismel gave us a proper look into where Jasons' origins began and why his slayings occurred. The angles and shots had so many jumps and kept u guessing what would he do next. There were some predictable moments, (for those who understand foreshadowing, you will be able to read it easier) yet overall a worthwhile experience.

Madea Goes To Jail

Tyler Perry is by far a hilarious comedian/ actor who had taken the stage and big screen by storm. This man has accomplished many things in the past few years. Starting off as an actor and producer for many plays in the theater such as; Diary of a mad black woman, and Madeas family reunion, many people loved his character Madea and her antics among all the faithful christians in the cast. Madea being the only gun toting, cursing, volatile mid-aged woman just makes everything that much funnier. I believe the movies aren't as funny as the plays yet they still have the christian values and funny plot twists which make people relate a little bit more. Look out for another remake of his plays with Madea goes to jail in a few days.

Goal!!

A lot of people feel that sports movies tend to be overrated and never portrayed in a way that does no justice to the players or actors. This goes double for the FIFA leagues and clubs. The movie Goal started off in a theatrical and expected film, but in the process was forgotten and expectations went away. I myself forgot, and am a huge soccer fan. This is a three film installment that follows the ups and downs of a footballer and where his dreams take him, the number of talents in the film and amount of action is phenomenal. If u even have a liking and understanding for soccer this is a film you want to see. Anyone who has, leave an opinion.
