This New Movie Looks Wicked!
You may have heard me talk about how predictable Hollywood has become, with its long parade of remakes and sequels. Don’t get me wrong. I love superhero movies as much as the next guy, but how many do we really need? The Green Lantern anyone? Is a remake of Carrie, Robocop or Point Break really a must-see? Certainly there are exceptions to the rule; movies that tackle new concepts or story lines.

What a cool idea for a movie. Check out the promo for the new movie The Purge for yourself.

Woodstock Legend Richie Havens Passes Away
