Scream (1996)
Should I see it?
No.



A snarky, post-modern deconstruction of slasher films. Too bad it has little to offer beyond its sarcasm. This is a disposable film whose expiration date has long past. It was interesting in the months surrounding its initial release but it already hasn’t aged well. The needless sequels and parodies have reduced the production as well by underlining its vacuous core.

Proof that popular doesn't equate good.

Movie Trailer: Armored
This one has my attention. The premise is solid for a mass market movie. A young armored car guard gets wrapped up in a inside job to steal some money. Predictably, things go awry, but it does open itself for some good moral conflict. The fact that it is directed by Nimród Antal is icing on the cake.

The trailer gives far too much away however. I loathe trailers like this since it either means the advertising was handled by an inept crew or the film offers so little that they have to sell the whole thing to get people in the door. It would seem with this plot, the tease of the rookie locking himself in the truck would be enough to perk some interest.
