" The Movie: Red Dawn (2012) The Release Date: November 21 The Hype: &amp;quot;Every Day We Go About Our Lives Unaware of the Forces That Threaten Our Freedom&amp;quot; (a mouthful, if you ask us). The Setup: You know when you remember an old-ish movie looking really old? And then a remake comes out and it looks really new? So new that Patrick Swayze is Chris Hemsworth, and patriotic rock is metal, and the Russians are the North Koreans, and the explosions look so real, yet still not as scary as that missile flying through a school hallway or that tank approaching a McDonald&amp;#039;s in the first one? Well, yes, it&amp;#039;s a new day. And a new imagined WWIII. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re the Wolverines, and we create chaos.&amp;quot; Got it. What You Should Expect to See: Fighter jets. Fire. North Koreans grimacing. Shots of small-town life that remind you to re-watch Friday Night Lights. Shots that remind you, creepily, of Dawn of the Dead. Combat stunts. Jingoism, but not so much jingoism that it&amp;#039;s outright hilarious. What could&amp;#039;ve been the end of the world saved by a pack of brave kids. What You Should Not: The haunting realities of war. Actors slicing oxen or eating snakes. The U.S. losing. Chris Hemsworth looking off his game. A sobering critique of geopolitics. Likelihood You&amp;#039;ll Actually See It: If you&amp;#039;re feeling nostalgic, sure.
