New Wine in Old Bottles

Just a brief posting....

Nightmare on Elm Street is back.

Haven't seen the new one. I saw the first version 20 years ago, and have not looked at a basement the same since. The movie industry is a risk averse enterprise; so, if a plot line or a character or a concept have worked once, why not try it again? That is, until I saw a trailer for the "A Team." But hopefully, as George Peppard did in the original, Liam Neeson can make the best of a wobbly bottle.

Next, I saw a commercial for a film I thought would surely be a remake of It's Alive. I don't know, but thank heavens, it turned out to be entitled Splice. BTW It's Alive was remade two years ago!
