Poll: Best Film Reboot?

As I patiently await the new Superman reboot Man of Steel, I can't help but think of some film reboots that really worked. The original films may have been good, and in some cases bad, but the reboot did succeed in bringing entertainment and life to the franchise. The Star Trek reboot is one such example. As much as I adored the original films (well some of them anyways), the reboot did a fine job in getting me more interested in the Star Trek universe.

Review - Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Directed by J.J. Abrams

The second installment of the rebooted Star Trek franchise is finally here and what can I say? I was totally impressed. Though this sequel isn't as awesome as its predecessor, I was left mighty satisfied and happily await a third installment. If this is what director J.J Abrams has to offer everytime, then I believe the upcoming Star Wars trilogy should be in good hands.

Review - Iron Man 3 (2013)

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Guy Pearce.
Directed by Shane Black.

The summer blockbusters are here and it gets going with the third installment of the Iron Man franchise - Iron Man 3. After a very disappointing Iron Man 2, the world looks to a thrilling conclusion of the Marvel trilogy. Picking up after the events of The Avengers, we see a shaken up Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), suffering from anxiety attacks and stress. Like your typical superhero movie, some lunatic decides he wants world domination and in this case, it happens to be the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley).

Review - Dark Skies (2013)

Starring Keri Russell, Josh Hamilton and Dakota Goyo.
Directed by Scott Stewart.

Dark Skies is director Scott Stewart's third film. His prior releases were Legion and Priest and I cant forget how awful they were. His latest effort is much improved although it doesn't add anything new to the horror genre. We meet the Barrett family, who are having financial issues and have to be cutting back on necessities. Then one day Lacy Barrett (Keri Russell) starts to notice strange happenings around the house. Her husband Daniel (Josh Hamilton) is reluctant at first to believe but it becomes more and more evident as the movie goes along, that the house is being haunted by some strange being who also begins to affect the family.
