Red Dawn remake going to not suck?!

The Red Dawn Remake: The Return of the Red Scare?

I know what you’re thinking – because it’s what I’ve been thinking since I first heard details about all this several days ago. This is all some sort of gag, right? Hollywood doesn’t do this sort of thing. This isn’t the 1980’s anymore. Wake up! This is the era of Avatar, of Fahrenheit 9/11, of Sean Penn hanging with the mullahs in Iran. The communist Chinese aren’t our enemy – they’re our friends! They make our TVs and T-shirts and disposable ink cartridges. Our real enemies are American corporations, environmental polluters, and all those blonde chicks on Fox News. Get your head in the game, Apuzzo. You’re daydreaming again!

Apparently not. Difficult as this is to believe, MGM is indeed now in post-production on what appears to be an extravagantly hardcore remake of John Milius’ 1984 film, Red Dawn.
[snip]
...these posters reveal is that the Red Dawn remake may actually go where the original film did not go (largely due to the fact that the original was made during the Reagan Administration), which is in equating certain tendencies in contemporary American liberalism with Chinese-style communism (!). That would be an extraordinary thing for a Hollywood studio to do nowadays.

I have a million questions, all of which boil down to: how did this movie get greenlit? How did this one slip by?

Due out November 24th.

UPDATE: Hey look! More evidence that it won't suck! An LA Times intellectual is scoffing at it!

Did anyone feel that? It felt like the winds changing.

RedLetterMedia Avatar Review

I love this guy's reviews.

For all the time and money spent to make this movie in 3D, the story and characters were still stuck in one dimension.

Part 2

Where were you when it happened?

Requiem for a Dream

The film depicts different forms of addiction, leading to the characters’ imprisonment in a dream world of delusion and reckless desperation that is subsequently overtaken and devastated by reality.
~Roger Ebert

The trailer, while cool, tells you little about the movie.

Two days ago we watched it for the first time, it was on a movie channel, and we missed the first 10 minutes, but the rest of the movie was amazing. Today we just happened to open the netflix envelopes that had been sitting unopened for months (since we were just watching netflix on the XBOX 360) and were surprised to find Requiem for a Dream. Someone else must have told us to watch it. The movie was so powerful the first time, I almost didn't believe it was as good as it seemed. My wife popped it in to watch the first 10 minutes we missed, but we wound up watching the whole thing again.

I think it was better the second time.

The intensity of the movie was not dulled by knowing what to expect, nor was the emotional involvement muted by knowing the ultimate fate of the characters.

I'll have to watch it a few more times to be sure, but this might be my new favorite movie.

Watch it.

Telegraph: Top 10 conservative movies of the decade

I think the UK Telegraph's definition of "conservative" is accurate enough for these to be excellent selections

If an American media outlet did it, it would probably be full of movies with unhinged paranoid gun nuts.

Aside: The liberal media has been so zealous in erecting conservative strawmen that I think they've begun to believe their own words. Now they tilt at the windmills they've built, while real conservatives organize and build momentum. They make themselves more irrelevant each time they gather a crowd to watch them defeat these "giants."

The Ultimate Phantom Menace Review

When a movie is torn apart in a review, I like to say it has a new asshole. But this review didn't tear any new assholes.

This review hit the movie with an meteor.

This movie is now a loose collection of atoms. Ouch.



If you thought that was awesome, watch the rest. But be warned; the full review is 70 minutes, but entirely worth your time. It also gets rather revealing if you stick with it till the end.

Two selections from the Amelie soundtrack

First, the song that was playing in my head this morning. A slow, beautiful composition perfect for today's rainy day.

Video may contain spoilers! Scroll the video off the screen if you plan on seeing the movie!

Next, a short jaunty tune to raise your spirits. :)

Pas Si Simple - Yann Tiersen

I believe these songs represent a good cross section of the entire album. If you enjoy this song I highly recommend the rest of the soundtrack. Naturally, I highly recommend the movie as well.



Aw fuck it. This one is too good not to post.
