1st Impression: The Thing [Red Band Trailer]

Remake mad­ness con­tin­ues in Hol­ly­wood with the Thing.  The effects look impres­sive but let’s not kid our­selves in think­ing that great effects will  make this film shine more then the orig­i­nal. The orig­i­nal film had not only great moments of sus­pense but excel­lent cast­ing as well.  The most we can ask for is that the remake...

1st Impression: Footloose

Grow­ing up in the 80’s I had the plea­sure of see­ing many music themed films like Flashdance,Krush Groove, The Wiz and of course Foot­loose.

Slick’s Quick Hits: Wilfred

Jenna, his new neigh­bor, is quick to intro­duce...

1st Impression: The Mechanic

As much of a fan as I am of Jason Statham I am start­ing to think there are no other roles for him to play.

I will say that mak­ing a remake of a Charles Bron­son flick is ballsy since his flicks are action clas­sics but I think Statham is good ...

1st Impression: Let Me In

Let me in is an Amer­i­can ver­sion of the great Swedish vam­pire film Let the Right One in about a young boy and his rela­tion­ship with a girl who is not like all the oth­ers. Chloe Moretz from Kick-Ass plays the girl with the “secret”. I am always con­cerned with Amer­i­can remakes of for­eign films because most of the time they lose sight of...
