The Cold War is over. So is the era of unapologetic alpha male action movies. Don’t tell the folks behind “Red Dawn.”
The film, a remake of the 1984 cult hit, sticks closely to the original formula of courageous kids, evil invaders and, of course, the battle cry which echoed throughout the decade.
“Woooolverines!”
Does it matter that the invading force this time around hails from North Korea and not the Soviet Union? Well, yeah. There’s plenty in the new “Dawn” that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Where “Red Dawn” rules is in its bone simple scenario. America is invaded. Time to fight for our liberty. Again.
Chris Hemsworth plays Jed Eckert, a U.S. Marine who returns stateside in time to witness a sky full of parachutists floating down toward his peaceful home town of Spokane, Wash. It’s a full-scale invasion courtesy of a North Korean army which uses a new weapon to shut down most of America’s defenses.

I watched the trailer and red some of the comments which were excellent. For instance, “Redawn3″ or “Obamas third term”. And “originally it was supposed to be Red China as the occupying force but they own the movie studios so they shifted it to North Koreain the 11th hour”
My take is that it could be the UN forces taking small town USA one by one enforcing their damn “Gun grab” laws.
Either way if it gets todays “cyber’ children and teenagers at least just thinking about what very well may happen then to Quote Martha S., “that’s a good thing!” Don’t under estimate the American youth when it comes right down to it. All they need is an urgent cause and by the way things are going now a days they just may get it and possibly much sooner than they think. It would be good to redirect the current hate that is faced inwards and turn it around and face it outward towards a common enemy.
I think this time our Enemy is right here in plane site, with Training camps all across this Country. And Obama and his People are backing them 100% arming them big time, well trying to disarm us well so all you Patriots out there(you know who you are there are about 13.000.000 of us that’s one HELL of a Malissia) better get ready because it is coming fast. I suggest lots of ammo. an AR or AK type weapon for crowd control, A pistol .357 cal. or bigger with hollow points, a shot gun in 12ga. or 20ga. with different rounds for self defence/hunting and a good dear rifle. Plus other Survival Gear all you can take……….
