The thing about live action remakes is that they are supposed to be tapping into nostalgia for those who have seen/read the original. The key piece to that puzzle is staying consistent with the lore that has been established in an engaging way.
Opus: Don’t Drink The Kool-Aid
Executive produced by The-Dream and Nile Rodgers, this is a great example of a movie that could’ve been better received as a limited series. It’s not that it’s bad…
Locked: A Perfect Trap of Suspense
Honestly…one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, so far. The movie takes off with just the right amount of lead up before keeping you engaged with lots of tension throughout.
Magazine Dreams: What A Nightmare
You want to talk about uncomfortable?! While I wasn’t in the handful of those that decided to walk out of the theater, those were honestly two of the longest hours ever.
Novocaine: Pain is Absurdly Fun
Who doesn’t love a good slapstick action movie? You pair bountiful laughs with a completely unrealistic threshold for pain and that’s exactly what you get
The Monkey: Gore Goes Bananas
Camp horror is a fine art, and The Monkey adds itself to the canon. The gore was gratuitous but not obnoxiously so.
