My Bloody Valentine




When it comes to most movies, I have to say that I am a bit of a purest and don't care for remakes of a lot of films. There have been exceptions to that rule like Dawn of the Dead, Black Christmas and a few other I just can't think of right now. My Bloody Valentine was a pretty good Canadian movie back in the late 70s. When I heard it was going to be remade, I just shook my head and thought that was one movie I was not going to see but when I found out it was in 3D, I thought it might be fun to check out.


Well some friends and I went to see this last night. I have to say that it was really cool. I wish they would make more movies in 3D, it just really made you feel like you were in the movie. They changed the story around a bit but all in all it was pretty good. They did have a few cheesey 3D effects where they had some things pop out at you, but it wasn't too bad. It's definately a great movie if you have a date or if you just have a group of crazy friends.
It seemed like in the first movie, that briefly you got to know each character in a way, and you either really liked them and it upset you when they died or you were kind of wishing they would get hacked up. I wish they would have done more like that in this newer movie. All you really got to know were the main characters. I still enjoyed it though and with Jensen Ackles playing Tom and Kerr Smith playing Axel - they are both really nice to look at.
