“Evil Dead” Remake Redband Trailer

[youtube https://youtu.be/wLettc3rUUk&w=640&h=360&align=left ] I was skeptical that this would just be another lame cash-grab remake unitl I saw this crazy trailer. I’ll be first in line April 12. Groovy.

Kidnapped, 2010

What a fantastic movie! I was totally blown away by the amazing camera work. Each 10+ minute take ratcheted up the tension to an unbearable level.

Kidnapped, 2010

What a fantastic movie! I was totally blown away by the amazing camera work. Each 10+ minute take ratcheted up the tension to an unbearable level.

Contagion, 2011

Solid, well-made thriller. Nothing flashy, just solid. It is pretty scary how something like this could happen at any time without warning.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 2011

A rare remake that is far superior than the original. Rooney Mara was fantastic and David Fincher‘s direction was exceptional. A must see.

Hostel: Part III, 2011

I like the first 2 movies a lot, but part 3 should be avoided. Everyone involved seemed like they were just going through the motions.

Moneyball, 2011

It started out strong but ended weak. I love baseball and the theory of sabermetrics is interesting, but the movie wasn’t.

Drive, 2011

I was totally blown away by every aspect of this movie. I am so mad I didn’t see it in a theater. Without a doubt my favorite movie of 2011.

Final Destination 5, 2011

Better than the turd that was Part 4. The end was actually kind of clever. How can you not love this ridiculous death scene?

Bellflower, 2011

A gritty and violent film with a visual style unlike anything I’ve seen before. I’m very interested in what the filmmakers will do next.

BASEketball, 1998

I haven’t watched this in about 10 years, and wow, what a trainwreck. Trey Parker & Matt Stone are funny, but the movie is pretty awful.

Batman: Year One, 2011

Faithful and entertaining adaptation of Frank Miller‘s seminal story. I hope this is successful enough to warrant more drama heavy DCAU adaptations.

Martha Marcy May Marlene, 2011

Elizabeth Olsen and John Hawkes are fantastic in this drama about a young woman trying to adjust to life after fleeing a dangerous cult.

Cold Sweat, 2010

There didn’t seem to be much of a point to this movie. Just some old Argentinean terrorists, weird feral women, and lots of nitro-glycerine.

Chillerama, 2011

An anthology movie that hits more than it misses. The standout is The Diary of Anne Frankenstein. Fast forward through I Was A Teenage Werebear.
