Maybe all sequels should be made in 3-D. Imagine how tiresome it would be to see Jason, the monster in the hockey mask, polish off another group of dumb teenagers in an ordinary print. But this time, as they gambol through the woods whose mean paths he endlessly stalks, the sundry sharp and blunt instruments that are always ready to his hand come at them and the audience with a certain vivid super-reality.

He could hardly have forgotten Kissinger's rantings at what the NSC chief saw as unwarranted interference by Secretary of State William Rogers.
