Film Red Dawn Gets Rave Reviews
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 9:44 AM
The Red Dawn remake did okay this holiday weekend ("Red Dawn played best through the South and in military areas, and the movie's demographic breakdown was 62 percent male and 52 percent 25 years of age and older," says Box Office Mojo, surprising absolutely no one). But guess who loved it? That's right! Racists!
That's via FilmDrunk, and there are even more nuanced, measured reactions to the film at the link. Oh, America! Just when I'd almost forgotten about how embarrassing you were on Black Friday, this comes along. It's true what they say—Cyber Monday really is magical.
