Evil Dead Red Band Film Trailer Review

Although the film had the approval of both Sam Raimi and Evil Dead's main protagonist Bruce Campbell, Bruce as Ash won't be appearing on this modern reboot of the film that made him a household name. Well it is probably the best way to approach with this film. It is a different genre and the theme is teenagers and as much as we adore Bruce, he is not really around the "teen age". Also it is safe for him if ever the reboot does suck big time.

Luckily, the trailer isn't leading towards a "SUCK"-fest rating, rather I find it more creepier than its 1981 predecessor. Well it might be just me, but this trailer made me want to look at this newer version to just see what things will they add to the mix. I can see more blood, gore and "realism" on the trailer for the Evil Dead 2013 official red band trailer. I just wonder as to how will they marry in the comedic element on this seemingly more straight on horror flick. Hope they add new jokes because it would be disappointing if they even recycle THOSE. Generally (as you can see on the screen caps we managed to pull off from the trailer), the Evil Dead reboot for 2013 looks really promising.

Just like the 1984 Red Dawn, the 2012 Red Dawn uses the same what-if scenario. That what if one of their country's considered worst enemy invades their much beloved nation. Well all hell breaks loose especially if you put a group of teenagers in it... say whuuuut?

There are a number of ways that can make a soldier out of anyone. Besides patriotism and nationalism, one powerful force is family. Red Dawn used all of those. A different generation calls for a different Red Dawn. This time its not the Russians, but the Asians... specifically North Koreans. I don't know what to feel about this idea of using real world nations depicting them as villains in films. Well, given that they might really be that vile or up to no good, I don't know if it is really appropriate to play on these sensitive themes. These kinds of films can stir up various emotions if it does what it is meant for. Red Dawn maybe considered a propaganda, a sick joke, a provocation, or purely just entertainment... it really depends. But anyways, if you are an action film fan or any of the cast included in the film, or curious about this 2012 remake of the 1984 Red Dawn. Then this might be worth the shot.

Finally a new sci-fi action trailer that really looks awesome! Yes, I feel genuinely interested in the Total Recall trailer. It is a remake of the 1990's Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall film but it feels right.

I can barely remember scenes from Total Recall, but I have a good idea that it was a complete action fest especially as it stars Arnold Schwarzenegger back then. Total Recall looks awesome back then and now. A different action movie for a different generation. With the special effects technology available for Hollywood's disposal, Total Recall is shaping to be the new action sci-fi blockbuster.

First Look on Spider-Man 2012 Reboot: Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man Suit and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey

When everyone heard that Spider-Man will be rebooted in 2012, everyone scratched their heads ask as to why. Spanning over three films, who would have thought that the Sam Raimi directed Spider-Man film will be cancelled in favor of a new one. so no more Tobey Maguirte as "Spidey" and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson as they are now replaced by Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the 2012 remake of Spider-man. Another Marvel superhero film can be remembered that experienced such treatment. 2003's Hulk which stars Eric Bana as Bruce Banner/Hulk and directed by Ang Lee received poor reception which is really craving for a reboot which then came to reality on the 2008 with The Incredible Hulk, which then stars Edward Norton as Hulk with the direction of Louis Leterrier.

Andrew Garfield in Spider-man costume. If you carefully look at the new Spider-man costume you will notice a small metallic object under Spidey's palm (wrist area) which means that the 2012 version of Spider-man uses mechanical web-shooters well to shoot web. It makes a lot more sense as to why Spidey needs to fold his middle or both his middle and the ring finger in order to shoot web. Whether it a genuine idea or just wanting to deviate from the Raimi's version of Spider-man this is a nice revision to the 2012 Spider-man film. Another change that the reboot will feature is the back to high school setting of this new franchise. The 2012 Spider-man reboot would also focus more on Peter Parker's first love, Gwen Stacy. An injustice was done to Gwen Stacy's character in the third and last Raimi Spider-man film so hopefully this will be the reboot's edge over its predecessor. The film also feature The Lizard as its main villain.

Would all these changes be enough to keep the Spider-man film series from falling apart? Hopefully the film would be accompanied by better story telling, production, acting, and loyalty to its form (Marvel comics) in terms of the characters for movie goers to have no complaints in seeing another Spider-man origin story.
