Jason returns to theaters this weekend, with a reboot that's shiny, brutal, and – aside from ditching the campiness – not very different from his many other outings. It's far preferable to Confessions of a Shopaholic, but not nearly as good as James Gray's excellent Two Lovers.
In Theaters:
Friday the 13th (Slant magazine)
Two Lovers (The Screengrab)
Confessions of a Shopaholic (Slant magazine)
And also, here are links to my three-part Friday the 13th retrospective written for The Screengrab:
Precursors: Friday the 13th I-III (The Screengrab)
Precursors: Friday the 13th IV-VI (The Screengrab)
Precursors: Friday the 13th VII-X (The Screengrab)

Would I be correct to assume that you’d be giving “Two Lovers,” a film which I liked very much as well, 3.5 stars/A-? (which would be your second of the year, if I’m not mistaken)
Yes, if my Screengrab reviews featured grades, I’d have given it something along the lines of a 3.5/A-.
Maybe Friday the 13th, Electric Bugaloo. Go for a little cross-over retro theme?
seen “coraline” yet, nick?
Sure have, Rich. Just posted my review, directly above.
