Do you like scary movies?

I know I sure do! I missed the opening night of scream 4 but I caught a matinee screening of it today & it was definitely worth the wait. I have been following this movie almost religiously since I heard it was being made. I watched all the teasers & trailers, viewed all the stills, listened & read all of the interviews & articles, I even watched the premiere.

All that movie stalking paid off because the scream 4 is amazing. It so takes me back to 1996 when the first scream premiered and redefined the horror genre. Well they did it again. I never like to give too much away by discussing plot but I have to say that this is the first horror/thriller movie that successfully meshes technology/internet with blood and guts.

I really enjoyed seeing a lot of the old cast members come back and I surprisingly enjoyed the new cast members as well. There are old horror movie scares that are mixed seamlessly with the "new rules of horror." Scream 4 definitely raises the bar for future post modern horror flicks for the Internet 2.0 age.

If you are looking for a great film with a ton of twists and turns & also some laughs thrown in, than scream 4 is your movie. It's smart, funny & twisted at the same time.

5 stars for sure!

Reboots, Remakes, Prequels, & Sequels

There seems to be a long list of “NEW” movies coming out, that look and feel vaguely familiar. First up that caught my attention is the Prequel to Blade Runner, nothing is set in stone yet, but it looks like something may just be on it’s way since the franchise rights were just bought up by Warner Bros based Alcon Entertainment (Insomnia, The Book Of Eli). Let’s just hope they can get Ridley Scott, the original visionary for Blade Runner, back for this one.

Next up is another personal favorite of mine and that is Scream 4 coming to us in theatres on April 15th. Yes another horror sequel but, I am actually excited to see this one. The 4th installment in the Scream franchise should prove to be pretty interesting seeing as how a lot of the original cast will be back in full force with Wes Craven in the Directors Chair along with Kevin Williamson doing the writing. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us. Also it is going to be R-rated so that is a definite plus in and of itself.

There are so many of these movies that are coming out that I can’t even begin to scratch the surface on them. Here is a short list of films coming our way and probably isn’t even half of all of them. I know there are more, and if you know of any movies that are set to be regurgitated then drop me a comment and let me know.
