Being Jason (2009)

There’s something to be said for a film that not only shows body parts sliced off and decapitations, but also features Jason Voorhees as a church group reject and an introvert who receives guidance from Leatherface. Even though Being Jason is only a short film, in it’s running time of about eight minutes, you’ll get to see your favorite slasher icon (at least he’s mine) as you’ve never seen him before. Writer/Director, Mike Doyle, not only does an excellent job putting together this goofy spoof on Jason, but it comes across as if he and his cast had a blast making it.

Step Brothers (2008)

“You’re a robot.”

There is no doubt in my mind that many people are going to question the sense of humor of those who didn’t find Step Brothers funny with that same line. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a Will Ferrell film, with his character Brendan strutting around, feeling self-important and trying to make everyone else see him as the center of the universe with his loud mouthed shenanigans. But we’ve seen his same song and dance far too many times, to the point where nothing the film presents can be shocking or entertaining to anyone but the most faithful Ferrell apologetics.
