With Craig Brewer's slick directing that new generation is in for a good ride - even if the central conceit...
Even if the original movie inspires fond memories, it's hard to get upset at the remake of Footloose. I mean the premise of the 1984 original was thin then, but the music videos, and the then-prominence of MTV (which played the film's hit songs repeatedly) embedded the film into the public consciousness.

Craig Brewer took on the assignment of remaking Footloose, and the challenges were legion. The premise is still the same - a concerned father/local reverend (Dennis Quaid here) gets his community to stop dancing. An outsider (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) comes to town, and doesn't think the rules should apply anymore, while he also romances the reverend's...
Aimee Teegarden starred in one of the opening kill sequences in Scream 4, and yet the trailer for Beneath the Darkness plays like it should be a fake-out before a Scream 4 movie.

A couple weeks ago a teaser trailer was released for the upcoming biopic Soul Surfer, and as the title suggests -- it's about surfing.

We should have known the cast for Steven Soderbergh's Knockout was too good to be true. According to The Playlist, Bill Paxton has just signed on to star in the film, which would be fine and dandy if it wasn't for the fact that he's replacing Dennis Quaid.

So what's the deal with this film? They've had trouble getting it into theaters for the past 2-3 years which makes me a little apprehensive. It's either a great movie that has had trouble finding a market or it's a bad movie that someone has finally decided to take on, knowing that they'll make back their expenditures in DVD sales.
