Trailer: Carrie - Sony Pictures
Just like "Evil Dead," is another horror remake necessary? No, of course it isn't! But, they're making it anyway. This time, it's "Carrie," whose original received a full-budget, major-studio release. And, it's a classic by the legendary Brian DePalma! There were arguments for "Evil Dead" being remade because the 1981 original was low budget. But, all the new film's budget brought was tons more gore. And, it lost all the great touches by Director Sam Raimi and Star Bruce Campbell.
But, I'm gonna review what we got in Trailer 2 of the new "Carrie." It is dark! Not just in tone, but more importantly, in brightness of image. It is dark! You are lucky to make out what's going on in a vast majority of the trailer.
What's visible is the usual stuff from the original, of course without DePalma's directorial touches, Sissy Spacek's mesmerizing lead performance, and Piper Laurie's wild, crazy supporting performance. I can't imagine paying to see this remake. I can see the original On Demand right now! I only saw the "Evil Dead" remake because I got in for free!
"Carrie" premieres October 18.

Trailer: The Mortal Instruments - City of Bones - Screen Gems
It seems every studio got on the teen movie bandwagon as fast as they could after "Twilight" came out! Now, after both "Beautiful Creatures" and "The Host" just bombed, here comes another one! This time, it's the awkwardly named "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones." And, as you can see, the poster doesn't seem too exciting either!
It's obvious that you have lots of authors desperate to make as much money as possible selling these "Twilight"-esque movies. And, you can tell the studios want to also. But, you can tell how uninspired these movies are! The "Twilight" movies themselves wheezed to a boring conclusion this past year, after far outliving their welcome. Now, here we go again!
You get the idea quickly here: a young girl is drawn into a world populated by otherworldly creatures, blah blah blah! The actors here seem to have especially little charisma. Kind of like the "Twilight" movies I sat through! C'mon people, if you're going to insist on spending tons of money on movies like these that few people want to see, at least put some effort into it!
"The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" premieres August 23.
