At this time horror fans are so beaten down to a messy shit stain that they really don’t have the strength to complain about remakes of their beloved horror classics anymore. Because whether we like it or not, Platinum Dunes and other horrific money grubbing companies will rehash our favorite titles and nothing is off limits. That preface aside, Neo-Nightmare sets down on basically the same premise except with ten times less the flavor and creativity of Wes Craven’s admittedly dated original. I never liked Platinum Dunes to begin with but “A Nightmare on Elm Street” ends as such a blatant spit in the face of horror fans everywhere it practically begins with a disclaimer reading, “We don’t give a shit about quality, but hey at least we have your money, suckers!” And they fell for it hook line and sinker.

Paris, Not France (2008)
I’m not one who gives a crap about tabloids at all. Occasionally I’ll skim over something by accident or watch something on television where I simply can not avoid it but otherwise I find no value in prying in to the lives of people who claim to have it hard when they really don’t. Take Paris Hilton, a young woman who is one of many people in Hollywood who have claimed their fame for doing absolutely nothing. But hey, she’s a victim too. Or at least that’s what this propaganda infomercial about Paris Hilton tries to convince us of.
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Where in we saw Tony Stark as a modern day Howard Hughes in the first “Iron Man,” a reclusive eccentric bachelor billionaire whose vision produced the iron man suit allowing him to achieve his brilliance and somehow benefit the whole of mankind, we’re now given a different view in to Stark by screenwriter Justin Theroux as Stark is presented as a modern day Oppenheimer whose creation and mind-blowing new discovery is about to become the property of the US government whether he likes it or not and will probably be used as a war weapon.
