Fright Night Remake

I got to see Fright Night the day after it's theater release.... and I gotta say, I loved it. It was very dark, funny, and over-all enjoyable. It was one of the most entertaining films I have seen this year. Now I had wanted to see the remake from the beginning, opposed to fans of the original who played it off as another stupid remake. The film proved those people wrong though. The Cast played their parts wonderfully, especially Colin Farrel who played an excellent vampire. Christopher Mintz-Plasse, playing once again the stereo-typical nerd, did an 'ok' job as Evil Ed. You can't exactly compare his role to Stephen Geoffreys' because the roles were so unique on their own. Mintz-Plasse's version was the nerdy version of the character, Geoffreys' version was the odd yet normal version of Evil. In the end however, Geoffreys' version will still be the one that is remembered by the fans for his eccentric yet funny characterization of Evil Ed. So all in all, the new Fright Night, that may have disappointed a few fans, was still exceptional in my opinion. If you're worried that you will not like the new version then you should wait for DVD. We should expect a late December/ Early January release.

Urban Legend

It took me a while to actually try and watch this. It was very light on the thrills and the storyline was kind of odd but outside of that it was an ok movie. One of the few good 90s slasher flicks.

Ghostbusters

Finally got to watch this again last night. Still great as it was the first few times. Definitely a classic.

CARS 2

Cars 2 was in my opinion the best pixar film to date. Although the Toy Story Series is my 2nd pick, Cars 2 was extremely better than my expectations. From the clever jokes to the action, Cars 2 was the best childrens movie I have seen in a long time. Featuring Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, and Liam Neeson, Cars features an extensive list of Stars. Cars 2 is fun for all ages, so don't hesitate to spend the 7.50 to 10.00 to go see it. It is beyond worth it.

SCRE4M

Scream makes a triumphant return to the horror genre with Scream 4, the ultimate reboot/sequel. The Scream series has always been my favorite series due to its clever plotline, the mystery of the killer, and of course the fun of trying to figure out the big question, "Who's next?" Scream 4, I'll admit did not do too well at the box office. It was, in my point of view a love/hate situation for many of the die-hard fans. I myself loved it, but then again, I am a huge fan of the series. Most people quoted that it was "the same movie for the 4th time." I can't really agree with this. Although it had the same familiar feeling of the Scream series, it brought a strange but welcome difference to the series that separated it from its predecessors. A new modernized kind of Scream. It kept the same movie jokes and references that made the series what it was. It brought back the 3 main characters from the 1st trilogy, and even added new ones to be picked off. To me, the film was a great success and was a welcome edition to the series of movies. I will be looking forward to Scream 5 (or 5CREAM) if Wes Craven is doing it, and hope to see it sometime in the near future.

Friday The 13th (the remake)

"His name was Jason. And Today is his birthday." The line that started a revolution in Cinema. This revolution was a series that led a generation of Horror fans, and quite possibly made the slasher genre what it is today. I, of course, am talking about Friday the 13th.  The series that spawned 10 sequels is now being reborn. The title remains the same, but some of  the concept and imagining is new. Jason is still Jason. The stupid Teens who sadly wander into his midst remain the same. The infamous "Camp Crystal Lake", however, is now changed. It's still the hunting grounds for Jason's prey, but something about it is what gives Jason his advantage. I can only tell you that if you are a fan of the Friday the 13th series, the remake should be very rewarding to you. I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to any slasher fan.

Star Trek

Well I finally got to watch the new 'Star Trek' film. It took me about a year but alas, yesterday evening I got to treat myself to an awesome joy ride that keeps the spirit of 'Star Trek' alive. It was a great film that made me really enjoy something that I had never fully known about. I was aware of 'Star Trek', but not knowing of it. Now however after watching this film, I can thoroughly say that I'll be more aware of it when the next film or show rolls around.
