I was looking through some trailers and noticed an entry for "Red Riding Hood." Sure were a lot of scenes where her boyfriend was pushing her against the wall or laying her on the ground. What? Yeah, Red's got a boyfriend in the movie. I thought the fairytale was about a little girl but this movie has been Twilight'd. No really, it was directed by the guy who did at least one of the movies. Weren't there already werewolves in the Twilight books? Do we really need to further ruin them?
In other news, there's a fourth Scream movie. The franchise is still pretending that it has rules. NO! The movies have never given a damn about the so-called rules. Knock that off. It's just a series of lazy, cynical movies that pretend that it's subverting tropes instead of embracing them. The Scream movies are like the last dozen seasons of The Simpsons. See, we point out our laziness, so that makes it OK! The Simpsons got away with it because it's suppose to be funny, but Scream just wants to have an excuse. If you're scared, then they'll claim that it's part of the plan, but if you're not, they'll pretend that you didn't get the joke. "You're just not smart enough" is the kind of excuse that dumb people give for their failures.
The Smurfs movie still looks like a terrible live-action/cgi hybrid.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 dumps the two costars, which is good because they were out-of-place in the sequels, and brings back Captain Barbossa. As ridiculous as it was to bring his character back in the third movie, he was the ONLY good thing about that film. He can bug his eyes out halfway through his lines all day as far as I'm concerned. I still don't think Jack should be the main character, but maybe this movie will be closer the the original.
