Forgive me for NOT reading the column, but my interest in the column waned as much as my desire to watch MANY of the sequels this summer. The ONLY gain in this news announcement is that none of these movies is going to be called Plattoon II or Apocolypse Now and AGAIN.
After a summer of sequels, this may be good news for those of us who are hungry for something NEW from Hollywood. In MY opinion, the LAST decent movie that Hollywood released was The Passion of the Christ three years ago, and no one in Hollywood wanted to touch it prior to its release, and the story it told is 2000 years old! It subsequently became the HIGHEST grossing movie of ALL time. Stick that in your eye, Hollywood.
These "new" movies aren't new at all. They are the same pap that Hollywood has released since Vietnam. Nothing new. Same pap; different day.
