A Nightmare On Elm Street

The redo of A Nightmare on Elm Street tries to give audiences an update of the 80’s horror classic. It offers a trip down memory lane, while stepping outside the boundaries with a little back story on why Freddy Krueger is hell-bent on vicious savagery.

As the movie begins, it enlightens the audience to the main characters, Quentin and Nancy, who are trying to stay up with everything from coffee to pills to epinephrine in order to avoid being massacred by the man in the red sweater. The acting by Jackie Earle Haley is somewhat underused as he manages to squeak by as a melted maniac more so than the twisted role played by Robert Englund in the original.

The movie trudges along with painstaking bloody gore and a few shocks, but does not even begin to live up to neither the original nor the remakes of other horror flicks that have arrived at movie theaters in the past few years. A better use of time on a Friday night would have been to embark on a trip to the local video store and rent the original.

Rising Star ... The Kirko Bangz Interview

Sometimes, it must fall upon the journalist to ensure that what they are hearing in an interview is clear enough that they can truthfully and accurately present their subject's words as quotations. This may require asking for an answer repeatedly, admitting you missed something that could have been important, or actively picking and choosing which quotes should be completely captured in a form of verbal triage. Other times, it may simply require asking the subject to slow down because your cell phone's speaker is woefully inadequate. Such was the case with Kirko Bangz, and regrettably, I did not follow the advice laid out above. The following is what I can transcribe from my conversation with the Houston hopeful, whose Drake on promethazine approach has been reverberating within the scene.
