Once Mind of Mencia was released, I had lost all hope that Comedy Central would release a good sketch show again. Important Things with Demetri Martin has not only proved me wrong, it might be my favorite to ever be shown on the network. Yes, it really is that good.
Demetri Martin is a fantastic host and is hilarious as always. The sketches are well thought out and portrayed. It's unlike anything else I've seen on Comedy Central and I really hope it lasts. But if Mind of Mencia can last as long as it has, I fear for the intelligence of American viewers. Let's just hope that Important Things remains on the air for a long, long time.

I haven't written a review in quite some time but I wanted to share my disdain for this film and maybe warn some of you not to waste your money on it. It's a pretty and polished version of the original films but what it's lacking is any real tension and a good storyline. I'm sure that if you're a silly little teenager that liked the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, you'll love this movie, but there are those of us that ask for more than what this movie can give.
Not for one second does this film make us care about its characters or its outcome. The casting obviously didn't require for anyone to be able to act, it just made sure that they would take off their clothes. There is no story, there is only slaughter. Also, forget about atmosphere or any sense of discomfort, you won't find it here. Marcus Nispel's Friday the 13th is a less scary version of The OC.
Stay far away. The great thing about the original films was their low budget flare. This is worse and it had a Hollywood sized budget. That should tell you what you need to know.

I actually enjoyed a lot about this film but it really was not too original. It borrows heavily from 1971's Duel not only with a similar storyline but also with almost identical cinematography at times. And ultimately, Duel is a far better film which makes this movie a tad pointless but it is still a fun time.
Steve Zahn is always hilarious, Paul Walker always sucks. There's no exception here. The story, as I said is pretty unoriginal but I suppose they got it to work decently. There are some okay suspense scenes but nothing that isn't typical. Overall, we've seen this before.
Give this movie a chance but turn off your brain. It'll be much more enjoyable if you don't think about it.
