A remake of a sequel that likely won't be as good as the remake of the sequel's prequel.

Not much to say today as I prepare to head off for the old Griner Family Reunion in scenic Panhandle Florida (I'm sure I'll blog about it sometime soon...maybe share pics! w00t!), but I did stumble across something interesting today.

Hollywood's finishing up a remake of Day of the Dead, the third installment in George Romero's original zombie series. This could be uplifting news, since the remake of Dawn of the Dead was probably the best zombie movie ever.

Buuuut....it's being directed by the guy who did "Lake Placid," "Friday the 13th Part 3" and "H20" (which I think actually was the 20th installment of the Halloween series). So no good news there.

Maybe the writing will be as good as the Dawn remake... oop, no, probably not. It's written by the dude who wrote ALL THREE "Final Destination" movies, known for their subtle dialogue and societal introspection.

So keep your expectations low, people. Real, real low.

That's two posts in a row where your comment has been about the intro paragraph and not the substantive body of the post. I'm starting to think you only make it 20 words into each post. In which case, you'll likely never read these last words.
