RoboCop PSA warns against drunk driving

One of the best things about the original RoboCop were the newscasts and fake TV ads scattered through the movie. With this PSA warning against drunk driving, it looks like the studio behind the remake is going after that same vibe . . . while cramming in some new footage at the same time. Although not as awesome as those commercials in the original, this is still a neat and timely idea. I'll give them props for that. Hopefully the remake incorporates something like this into the finished film. RoboCop stars Joel Kinnaman , Michael Keaton , Samuel L. Jackson and Gary Oldman . It hits theatres everywhere Feb. 12.

Micro Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Slick production values and a capable new incarnation of Freddy Krueger in the form of Jackie Earle Haley can't save this otherwise flat, boring remake Wes Craven's 1984 classic. A prime example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. What was once a creepy, campy, low-budget excursion into slasher-horror has become just another Hollywood product void of fun, energy and, sadly, scares. Rooney Mara may look good, but her Nancy lacks any of the charm Heather Langenkamp brought to the role. The other characters are just as lifeless as the corpses Freddy leaves in his wake.
