#14: Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

One year after the success of Sean Cunningham's Friday the 13th comes the first in what would be many, many sequels. While the first movie set the concept of Camp Crystal Lake and the incident that lead to young Jason Voorhees drowning on account of negligent teen counselors, the sequel would kind of be the series proper going forward. Because, given that Pamela Voorhees got her head chopped off in the first movie, and we left off on enough of a cliffhanger in the first movie involving if Jason really was still alive (in a figurative sense I guess), there are still some questions to answer and plenty of horny teens to kill. Time to see how Jason's first time as the main villain pans out. So, what did I think about Friday the 13th part 2? Let's talk about it. 

#13: Muppet Treasure Island (1996)

Time for another one of my "movie that was on my radar for years but never sat down to watch it" viewings. Honestly, you'd be surprised that I didn't watch that many Muppet movies growing up. Loved the IP, but blame my lack of movie interest in making that a reality. But as I watch them more and more the more I love them. Both in terms of technical brilliance as only the Henson brand could provide, but also for just being the epitome of a fun time. And no movie best exemplifies the concept more than 1996's Muppet Treasure Island. So, what did I think of the Henson company's take on the Robert Louis Stevenson classic? Simply put, that may be in my top favorite movies I've watched for this blog. And I think we can take about 1000 words to talk about just why.
