"Freddy vs. Jason" Soundtrack (CD)

Posted on September 7, 2003 by Felix Vasquez

I’d seen “Freddy vs. Jason” a week before in the movies before I’d been sent this CD, and I have to say I was pretty excited. I loved the movie so much, so I was curious to discover the approach from “Road Runner Records” towards this soundtrack. As I expected, it’s is chock full of nothing but hard rock songs that are loud and fast… not that I’m complaining; Freddy vs. Jason is a hardcore, fast paced movie so I couldn’t imagine any other type of music genre on this disc. I am a huge heavy metal fan and hoped for something like this.

Tart (2001)

Posted on September 7, 2003 by Felix Vasquez

This is yet another grim portrayal of troubled teenagers mingling among more troubled teenagers; and what’s truly disturbing is that most of it seems exaggerated. I’m not sure if the movie was inspired by true events or concocted by Christina Wayne, but it’s grim, and I wish most of it was even remotely interesting. Catherine Storm is a middle-class reject who hangs out with her seductive best friend Delilah whom tends to stay away from the posh in-crowd. After a chance encounter with a popular girl, she begins to become accepted among the status quo until she begins to see that popularity among upper class isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Cabin Fever (2003)

Posted on September 5, 2003 by Felix Vasquez

There’s a lot of potential in the film to be a cult classic at best. The fact that there’s a group of people forced to live with a flesh eating virus that’s increasing their paranoia and make them turn on each other is very interesting. Also, the movie succeeds in grossing out the audience with some excellent and effective special effects. A person in a message board brought about an interesting theory upon the movie: no one ever actually dies from this flesh eating virus. If you think back to the movie, you’ll notice none of the characters inflicted with the disease actually die.

Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

Posted on August 24, 2003 by Felix Vasquez

The highly anticipated, long awaited, long talked about duel horror fans (including me) have been awaiting has finally come onto the big screen. After many many script changes, and remaining in ten years in movie making limbo, “Freddy Vs. Jason” has come. A new generation of kids have come to Elm Street and Freddy Krueger wants their souls, but his memory has long been extinguished by the parents of the previous years and he no longer has power over their kids’ dreams. Now, desperate to reclaim his power over the children and reincarnate his memory, he tricks the machete wielding, hockey masked killer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger) into rising from the grave once more to instill horror into the kids, but when Jason becomes too hot to handle, Freddy Krueger decides to take matters into his own hands and kill Jason himself. Who will win the ultimate undead battle? I’m not telling.

Donnie Darko (2001)

Posted on August 24, 2003 by Felix Vasquez

Over the past two years, “Donnie Darko” has slowly managed to achieve an underground cult status among movie lovers and horror lovers, so when I was able to grab hold of this, I had to check it out. Jake Gyllenhaal, independent actor for critically acclaimed films such as “Moonlight Mile”, and “The Good Girl” stars as the anti-social delusional boy known as “Donnie Darko”. Instantly, the movie begins with a mystery: we see Darko lying along a road looking out upon the city and so forth a voice tells the prophecy to him about the end of the world occurring in 28 days. Throughout the entire film, a demonic spirits in the form of a rabbit begins telling him these omens, and thought Donnie struggles to fight it, can’t escape the messages.
