no new ideas in movies!

What is with all of these remakes of movies. Horror movies have especialy gotten unoriginal. The Invasion - Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Disturbia - Rearwindow, Vacancy - who knows probably public domain, Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1975ish. You are more likely to die from a heart attack than in a cool way like getting hacked limb from limb by a guy in a hockey mask. If you want to see a true horror film, watch Modern Marvels: deadlies weapons or WMDs on the History channel (that is where I learned that the Russians sold Death Star plans to Al Queda). That Al Gore doomsday movie was also a real seat soiler. I became an opsesive light switcher offer after I saw that. Inspiration is not just something that is gone from the horror movies but action movies also do not have any it seems. Bourne 3, Die Hard 4 and Transformers were some of the new ones. That means sequil to sequil, sequil to sequil to sequil and was a kids show were some of the most original thoughts that these people could come up with. At least it is a step up from past war movies or adapted from books. The worst one is Resident evil 3. A sequil to a sequil of a movie named after a video game. Have we run out of Ideas?

I agree with you. I have seen so many movies that I feel that I have watched it before. I also agree that the scary movie is just a movie that make the people scare for a few hours and then forgot about it, not like the movies that it is telling the true things of what is happening in the world. I hope that the movie maker would make a newer and more exciting movies that we can be able to enjoy it more today. I also see that the new movie that is being produced recently is mostly a movie about killing, ghost, murder. Not a lot of movies for kids at all. I hope that they will make a movie more for kids. I forgot to tell you, nice review.^^

Ted, i'd rather have a heart attack then be hacked by a chainsaw. Think how painful that it will be to have your limbs pulled apart by a spinning blade. But besides that, you make a good point about sequel movies. The Shrek series should have stopped with only 2 movies.
