We had a post about this somewhere, but I can't find it.
Anyway, the film is finally being released.
Yes, not green lit, released. See, it's already been filmed.
So why haven't we seen it yet? Well, apparently they turned the Russians into Chinese. However, nobody wants to piss off the Chinese, so they went back in and turned them into North Koreans.
Yes, Red Dawn, the remake, has become the game Homefront.
Not promising...
Red Dawn - remake
Trailer.

It is completely believable to me that a single Marine could organize a guerrilla army and take out the army of an invading country.
"Boys, I want you to do what I would do... and kill this piece of shit."

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
I guess the biggest hurdle will be to make the invasion believable... especially from N Korea.
I guess there needs to be a shitload of hacking involved to blind our radar, and a shitload of Lend-Lease from China to NK to supply all that hardware I saw.
But the lone-Marine thing, yeah. That is how it would happen.

It sucked.
It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's not very good either.
The story is complete shit as you would expect. North Korea couldn't invade South Korea successfully, let alone the U.S. On top of that, their help isn't who you'd expect, and makes no sense at all. In fact, given the scenario, they'd more than likely ally themselves with us. And even if they did support this move, the other world power sure as shit wouldn't sit idly by and do nothing, especially since they'd lose almost as much as us. The technology behind the attack is fucking stupid, and they don't ever explain it, why they aren't affected, why it's housed in a radio, or why if we get one, we'll win the war.
Josh Peck is heavily featured throughout as the younger brother, and he's a terrible actor. In fact, the whole movie is filled with nobodies, Chris Hemsworth, and Jeffery Dean Morgan.
They follow most of the story from the original, but make some drastic variations here and there. Where the original focused on acting and character development, this one seems to focus on giving a lot of people screen time for no reason. How many people? Enough that I couldn't keep track of who was who, and didn't care.
The video game Homefront was miles better at this concept than this remake of Red Dawn.
4 out of 10.

*SPOILER ALERT*
Drunk Paul's review of Red Dawn, the newbie movie.
The kids get dropped off in at blue truck that has a gun rack but no guns
Camo dudes with guns parachute in an the teacher says it is unusual.
No! Not the Chevy!
Spoilers bitch.
Typed as the movie plays.
“PaPa!!” Ha ha! He got tackled by cammo dudes!
He looks liked Patrick Swayze.
That’s a lot of arrows… buck knives are cool. I have one on my Amazon gift list.
.308’s are good, but .38 Specials? Manage better!
Wow… he looks a lot like Patrick Swayze.
Wait…. I’ve seen this movie before.
I’ma gonna putta spoiler alert at the top of this.
Ha ha ha ha! Heckalopters rule!
He looks like the Mexican dude. I wish he used profanity that I understand.
He has a mustache… so he is a better fire fighter than my brother.
Dude, this mofo is Patrick Swayze.
I don’t know if that is awesome or terrible. As always, I await Malcolm’s input.
I think her was only given the job because he looks like Patrick Swayze. He acts better, but not good enough.
That dude was hired because he looks like Charlie Sheen!
And that dude is gonna eat a tracing device. Or maybe it gets stuck up his butt?
That gun wasn’t even loaded when you shot the deer!
This movie is kinda dumb so far.
Hahahahahahaha! He’s drinking deer blood.
I’ve harvested multiple deer and I didn’t have to drink its period juice.
If the guy in the Star Wars hat dies I’ll be disappointed, and I’m already disappointed that I don’t remember who he is.
That dude looks like Patrick Swayze.
Why The fark whold you stip them to say, “I’ll pray for you?” when a guard is watching?
Dude, even the father looks like the father.
Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen are crying. I’d say “like bitches” but part of me expects to be in their position one day.
I’ll avenge you.
Dude! The geeky one looks like the geeky one.
I think this look-alike stuff is bad.
I totally told the geeky one that his dad was killed before the good-guy did.
Wait, they bad guys posed for a photo and didn’t die?
Ha ha! There is a Jennifer Grey lookalike who can’t stay still just like the old one with the unfixed nose.
Dude, that’s Patrick Swayze…
A’ight, I need to get to bed. I’ll watch the rest later.
Out of 5 stars. So far I give this a, “I’ve seen this before.”

Watching now.
Yes, drinking.
Assume minor spoilers.
Thor has a crew cut, and will be joining the Marines soon.
He was talking to a woman who kinda looks like Black Widow but it's not Scarlet Johanson.
After a mysterious power outage his snow glove vibrates (like Jurassic Park) and a buncha Asians parachute in.
We're doomed. Asians have better hand-to-hand combat skills and are smarter than us, right?
Somehow the Americans were able to out-drive them and escape.
I saw Avengers today, and Thor's new hair is bugging me.
Oh... Percy Jackson is in teaming up with Thor. He's Thor's brother! Wow! The son of Poseidon is the son of Odin's brother!
Weirdest Avenger team ever.
It's more racially diverse.
Uh oh... The black guy always gets it first... The skinny Steve Harvey guy (mayor) is gonna get shot...
...
Well... No spoilers.
Their ammo can shoot trees without making holes in the bark like my bullets do.
So far... this might be better made than the 80's one, but not better when graded against what is is for its time period.
IE, the original was exceptional for its decade, and this isn't. But I think I think this is more watchable for someone who didn't have nostalgia for the old movie.
I wish the main N Korean bad guy was older though. He's too young.
Okay, they just did their version of Jennifer Gray running across a field (still with her with her big nose) and people popping up to shoot her chasers.
Only, this was in an occupied city instead of in the middle of nowhere with no backup.
Thor, your plans suck.
"40 seconds!" to get all the supplies and flee an occupied city?
Awe man... the wanna-be Black Widow has a tramp stamp.
Percy Jackson killed a deer.
Oh... I remember this scene from the original movie.
I never did that "tradition" when I bagged my first deer.
The small town is quite a bit bigger.
It has some tall buildings, making it a more legitimate target.
Alright.... that's enough for now.
This movie is okay for killing time.
Watchable for free.
Watchable for the $1.35 at Redbox.
That's about it.
Of course, I also watched Sharknado today (again).

No wait, that's not Percy Jackson! That's the dude from The Hunger Games!
I'm ashamed to admit I was thinking of his role in the Journey to the Center of the Earth and Journey: The Mysterious Island movies.
And Zathura... which also had that that Twilight chick.
...and Dax Shepherd, who I want to hang with.
I still need to see the new Hunger Games movie.
Time it takes from a building to explore for a tank to be mobilized and round the corner... roughly 2 seconds.
I wonder how much Subway paid?
You'll know when you see the black dude's eyes fill with awe, and not-Percy-Jackson says, "Sandwich artist!"
Dude... I love this Subway scene.
