Mania gets into bed with 'The Lost Boys: The Tribe' - Aug 05, 2008 - 08:04am
I checked this movie out with alot of skepticism as many of you who decided to watch it did. The Original is in everyway a part of my childhood and I hold it very near and dear to my heart.I must admit to you that I really wasn't all that impressed and pretty disapointed. Alot of the same lines in the original were used, as well as alot of the same concepts and shots. I mean the sex scene in this movie might as well have been the original one between Jason Patric and Jamie Gertz with the new actors heads superimposed.Feldman was Feldman in this movie. Overdone raspy voice and a few lame lines.There were in my opinion a few successes.1) Angus Sutherland was pretty good in the role. I thought he nailed the right balance between bad guy and the charismatic love interest that he was setting out to do.2) I liked the very end of the movie... The one that happens in the credits. If you've seen it then you know what I mean.The Misses:1) Tries to be the original far too much (dialoge, the situations, the clueless mom character, some scenes)2) The over all story. They could have done so much more if they had only included Haim and Feldman more in some sort of different story. I always thought it would have been good to see the relationshsip strain on Feldman/Haims characters after Haim had to kill Alan Frog and they're just thrust back together due to certain circumstances. I dunno. I've read much better fan fic.3) Feldman and Haim should have had bigger roles4) WB should have done whatever they could to get *EDIT for stupidity* Schumaker back on board for this. Then we truely would have been treated to the sequel we all wanted.Maybe they'll do a movie that bridges 1 and 2. That could work for me if done right. If you're a big fan, you will be disappointed in this movie though.

Metroid is a garbage game that used to be cool in the 80s. I for one would love to see Halo and God of War on the big screen. Come to think of it....that guy slated to play Jason looks like he could be a good candidate.
F..k. My bad. I was chatting with someone about the DOnner cut of Superman 2 right before I typed that.
