For what it’s worth ~

Red Dawn has always been one of my favorite movies. The newest, 2012 version, had a lot of updated special effects. Chris Helmsley also played a great leading role, as good as Patrick Swayze from the 1984 version. I really don’t think Josh Peck can even act though.  I guess since the breakup of the Soviet Union they had to update many of the scenes and storyline. Instead of Russia being the enemy it was North Korea. As I watch the movie I couldn’t help think, “North Korea does not have the finances or resources to invade America”. We have to many soldiers, former soldiers and people with guns to even attempt an invasion in the great USA.

The new movie was okay but all-in-a ll I still preferred the original Red Dawn. Don’t get me wrong it is worth a watch. I just really expected more out of Chris Helmsley than this and Cabin in the Woods.
