Damien vs. Damien

On Sunday the boys and I went to see The Omen. Now, I'm a big fan of the original. I've always loved scary church music and Gregory Peck. Well, obviously the remake didn't have Mr. Peck but it also didn't have scary church music. Big mistake. Really now, doesn't everyone know that the music is a big part of what makes horror movies scary?! Lamers! They did, however, do a pretty good job with the young actor who played the demon seed. He was just as devilish looking as the original Damien and Mia Farrow did a great job playing the psycho nanny. With whatever scary work she had done on her face, it sure fit in perfectly for the role. We got to see Julia Stiles die which is a good thing because her character was annoying and also a few gory death scenes but all in all my vote goes to the original movie. So that's my review. Go see it and judge for yourself, I'd think you'd agree The Omen remake is nothing more than mediocre. Oh well, what can you do? On another note, the retro party was a blast. I'll be posting some pix hopefully in the next couple of days. Ok, I'm outta here. Happy Monday!
