#JIBBER JABBER EPISODE 1 SERIES#
Outside of the SCREAM series you didn’t usually see the good guys return in a horror sequel, especially if they were no longer teenagers. There are no returning cast members, but then again, they might not have wanted them. But it didn’t do as well, so they struggled to figure out a followup, and it took them 8 years to settle on what they did here. The first part of this series had a quick turnaround – part 2 came only 13 months after the first one. This is my first time watching and writing about the three movies back to back – important summer holiday horror scholarship. But now I’m all those summers wiser, I come to these things more prepared and with the advantage of chronological distance. It was a funnier review than this one will be. So you could read that review if you want a young man’s perspective on the DTV finale to the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER trilogy.
#JIBBER JABBER EPISODE 1 MOVIE#
I’ll tell you one thing I did 17 summers ago: I reviewed the straight to video sequel I’LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2006) for the Ain’t It Cool News, a popular movie websight of its time. But I’d say Mangold is a stronger Spielberg substitute (or Sammy Fabelman, if you will) than any of the JURASSIC PARK or JAWS sequelizers, let alone the makers of any Indy-inspired adventure movies such as THE MUMMY. So by definition the many fine and spectacular action set pieces throughout this movie are not Steven Spielberg fine and spectacular. Mangold is, I can exclusively reveal, not Steven Spielberg he’s a totally separate person. Koepp wrote multiple drafts when Spielberg was gonna direct and the other guys drastically rewrote it for Mangold’s version. The director is James Mangold ( COP LAND, WALK THE LINE, 3:10 TO YUMA), who is also credited as writer alongside Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth ( EDGE OF TOMORROW, GET ON UP) and David Koepp ( I COME IN PEACE). I think it’s a good movie, and a good ending.
But Harrison Ford ( EXPENDABLES 3) wanted one more for closure, and I’m glad he did. Even if the boys were still in charge (they chose to just be producers, with only Spielberg being hands-on) I’m one of the weirdos who enjoys visiting the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, so I had no need for another one to set things right. Personally I did not ask for such a thing. INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY is the final Indiana Jones picture, the only one not directed by Steven Spielberg ( ALWAYS), and the only one not conceived by George Lucas ( AMERICAN GRAFFITI).
This guy grabs her, slashes her, splashing blood on the curtain, then throws her off the balcony. It honestly made me want to be in California, but then a hand missing a few fingers comes into frame, unseen by her. She steps out onto the balcony, drying her hair, smiling. She’s not really paying attention, of course. Her radio talks about the search for “The X Killer” as she takes a shower. The opening kinda tells us what we’re in for by showing us the beautiful California coast, helicopter shot flying across palm tree lined beaches, looking at the waves, people surfing, jogging, then a woman in her seventh floor apartment waking up as the sun comes in through the drapes. It really seems adapted from some quirky crime novel, maybe the first in a series. It’s not the mystery and action that make it fun as much as the eccentricities and odd details.

serial killer, but the ex-cop is played by Wings Hauser, as a Wings Hauser-ian character. It’s just the story of an ex-cop trying to catch an L.A. Here’s a win for the Summer of Nub series: introducing me to DEADLY FORCE, an enjoyably quirky thriller I was not previously aware of.
