This week we discuss Hugo Weaving being cast as Red Skull, the secret JJ Abrams movie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt reteaming with Rian Johnson, Sam Rockwell in Cowboys and Aliens, Matthew Vaughn Directing X-Men: First Class, The Losers, The Human Centipede, A Nightmare on Elm St. (2010), Breaking Bad, and Lost.
Usually I’ll type the following sentence as a sort of colloquialism but here it’s use is completely the truth.
Where to begin…
I can say this much for the new NOES: I didn’t completely hate it. But at the same time, it’s just kind of there and then 80 minutes later it’s gone. It’s probably the best horror remake that Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes has produced but honestly, how endearing is that compliment? Completely forgettable, filled with hollow characters, fairly decent (albeit rehashed) kills, and a performance from Jackie Earle Haley that falls somewhere between ok and whatever, this new A Nightmare on Elm St. might have been cool if not for it’s sleep inducing second and third acts.
