New Column Tomorrow - Movie Pairs
Hollywood isn’t exactly original. And sometimes, a couple flicks are released months apart that are eerily similar. Good things come in two’s, if you go by what Hollywood thinks, so hence this column.
It’s happened more than once where studios will piggyback film releases to capitalize on each other. Or maybe it’s just a lack of imagination…who can really say. Be it where the film takes place, the vibe of the movie, and sometimes the entire plot itself…films who are connected enough to be considered siblings spring forth from Hollywood’s womb with astounding regularity.
Movie Pairs will spotlight those occurrences where the dream factory churned out a nearly matching set. We’ll compare their plots and we’ll critique their content. And we’ll most likely make fun of them just because we can. Let’s face it, most times they deserve it.
