Danny Fisher, a New Orleans cop, makes the arrest of his career when he captures a high profile arms dealer, but, the bad guys girlfriend gets killed during the chase. A short time later the bad guy finds his way out of jail and after kidnapping his wife and burning down his house, then he wants revenge. He sets out to punish Danny with 12 grueling tasks (12 rounds) to get his wife back. Each round steps up the danger and the action, but of course our hero comes through with flying colors every time (not even a scratch). The movie is really too long for this type of action flick (maybe it should have been 10 rounds)and with bad acting it seems really long. All credit to John Cena, he’s doing the best he can. With a sensible action movie and some decent directing he could be alright. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) turned out ok after all. No, it’s not what-to-watch.

Another 80’s horror remake, but this time in 3D! The story of a man who has a bad day one February 14Th so he decides to turn into a serial killer. Wearing a miners outfit, mask, and armed with a pick-axe he really hates Valentines day, and for some reason, all young people that go near the mine. Bad acting (really bad), stupid story, campy dialog, and every horror cliche in the book. Not only did they not do the original film any  justice, but they stole other movie parts and themes (such as High Tension). For a slasher film (if that’s your cup of tea) even the gore isn’t very good, overdone and just plain corny. Sure they’ll try and twist it up in the end to throw you off and make it seem interesting, but it just adds to the disaster. Please, please, please do not watch this movie. Not even its for free.

OK, you would think, with today’s technologies in film making and all the slasher films in the past to learn from, including the 10 sequels of Friday The 13th, they would get it right.

The entire cast is unknown, as well they should be, the first group of youngsters slaughtered very quickly, but not in any new or imaginative way, then here comes the second group, just served right up.  searching for a legendary hidden field of marijuana the teen and 20 somethings are killed one by one as they venture in to Camp Crystal Lake. Here’s my problem with this movie, this is supposed to be the new improved version, the get it right version, Keep all the stuff that worked and improve on the things that didn’t. Well they didn’t. They did the same movie with more skin, more language, more sex, but not of more of what we want. Great kills. Jason has never been less brutal. You would always what crazy way is he going to kill the next naked cutie. What do we get? The same old machete slice and dice (even more than the original). There a few minor changes from the original version, but, one thing remains the same, no matter how far and fast you run, Jason is always right there. Your better off watching the 80’s version, much scarier, much bloodier, and all around just better.

Kristin Kreuk stars as Chun Li, the legendary cutie with power thighs from all the classic street fighter video games. She has to revenge her fathers death which came at the hands of the evil Bison, played by Neal McDonough. Bison runs the Bangkok crime syndicate know as shandaloo (should have been Shadowloo). The acting is poor, even for the pretty good cast. The fight scenes are mediocre as expected. The plot is simple and doesn’t stick to the video game story at all. The characters in the movie aren’t casted very well and they generally don’t stick to any of the video game continuity. Its all eye candy, better suited for the younger crowd that likes quantity not quality. Is it what to watch? not if your over 14.
