It's sad that there are so many unoriginal thoughts out there in Hollywood. This leads to horrible sequels and copycat movies. I actually heard today that there will be a sequel to "Are we there yet?". Come on...did any of you see that movie? at the theater? I didn't think so. I DID see it...and guess what...they got THERE. So what the fuck do we need a sequel for?
Then of course there are the horror sequels like The Ring 2, The Grudge 2, and Saw 2/Saw 3. I saw Saw...it was good. Saw 2 was not. Yes, the creepy spirally-cheeked-tricycle-riding clown is scary...once. Twice? Notsomuch. The only reason Saw was good, was because of the twist at the end. And is there a difference between The Ring and the Grudge? They both feature pale, creepy, funny-moving kids who want to kill people. Looks like the same movie to me.
And while The Prestige looks intriguing and somewhat "fresh"...I can't help but compare it to The Illusionist. Let's see...both star young hot actresses (Scarlett Johannson vs. Jessica Biel). Both star 2 men competing for said woman...both take place in old timey times...both involve magic and magicians.
And finally...because people just can't get enough of Truman Capote these days...there is yet another Capote movie being released this year. What? Did enough people not die from boredom from the first Capote? They had to go and make a 2nd one? It appears to be the same damn plot too...just different actors. There HAVE to be more interesting people out there to make movies about. I'd rather see a movie about Harry S. Truman. Come on Hollywood...time to start hiring some fresh and innovative writers!
