Last week, the
sequel outlasted the
re-make in the "Battle for Movie Supremacy". This week 2 re-makes look to go head-to-head. Can sci-fi conquer horror? Stay tuned, box office totals will be rolling in next Tuesday. So often movies are labeled and pushed into a nice genre. Maybe even with a tiny bow! If a movie fails to fall into a perfectly labeled column, it better be cool. Otherwise it falls into the depths of the "missed-it's-mark" purgatory and winds up on the 20 horror movies for $5 dvd.
There, they will make their way to the bottom of a Walmart rain barrel bargain bin to be pawed through by passing shoppers who like to gaze at movie titles. Even worse they might be seen on a shelf in some random location of a convenient store and wind up as a gag gift at the next holiday party. This might be a better death considering that years ago a movie purgatory was to be aired on some lowly rated cable station and viewed by a teenage boy that liked sitting on the couch in his parent's basement watching movies all day.
Those days are gone and now streaming online has replaced cable's 'dictatorshiplike' powers on the TVGuide. Here is to Netflix, Amazon, and other sites for giving us the viewing freedom and making sure that every hour count! On that note, last Saturday I watch
Ardennes Fury about some allies saving an orphanage or something like that. When searching this particular title, it could be found in the WWII genre. Upon viewing, it was given a rating of 2 for a reason. Genres help us select movies but they still don't shield us from the bad ones. Maybe some day, my title will be worthy of "TV Movie King"!
