Happy #fridaythe13th! Please enjoy my appreciation of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, which is not only my favorite movie in the franchise, but also (in my opinion) one of the best slashers ever made. For @denofgeek.bsky.social:

Friday the 13th Perfected the Jason Movie in The Final Chapter
It may have taken four movies, but Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is slasher perfection that defines the franchise.

With the excellent THE LIFE OF CHUCK now in theaters, I took a look for @denofgeek.bsky.social at all the Stephen King novellas adapted for the screen. Does this shorter-than-a-novel-longer-than-a-short-story format work best for adaptation? www.denofgeek.com/movies/steph...

BALLERINA is an example of doing franchise extension with no real story to tell. Aside from some inventive action in the middle, it's dull and far too reliant on the flagship. My review at @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/balle...

Ballerina badly wants you to know it’s a John Wick spinoff, because it has little else to offer on its own.
