Terminator 4 Is No Fun For The Whole Family
Production begins today on Terminator 4, or Terminator Salvation, and what's grabbing all the headlines is that the newest installment is looking for a PG-13 rating. Naturally, it raises a few questions about just how effective an apocalyptic robot bent on the destruction of mankind can do so without offending the sensibilities of considerate parents, but it obviously makes sense to try and bring younger viewers into a franchise that most people gave up on in the '90s. If you've already bled your project dry of good will, why not instill a new generation of viewers with the malaise of money-baiting mediocrity. So smart, Hollywood, always. You should give yourself a prop Nobel Prize.
A lot of familiar franchises could be given a fresh start by taking this youth-friendly route.
Saw V
The murderer Jigsaw decides that the best way to teach people a lesson about not taking the beauty of life for granted is to take them all on a ropes course in the Adirondacks. A businessman, a college student, and a plastic surgeon will be forced to work together to scale a ten foot wall without any equipment, and to get from one tree-mounted platform to another using just a rope, a bucket, and their newly developed comraderie.
Last Tango In Paris 2
An American expatriot living in Paris meets a young woman who is about to be married. Recognizing the ill-timing of their chance encounter, they spend a cautious, uneventful weekend getting coffee in public places, and learning the true meaning of friendship without sexual anticipation. Touching each other's bodies may be off limits, but that won't stop them from touching each other's hearts.
R2: Reservoir Dogs Judgement Day
