Need a date movie? A popcorn flick? A thriller? We’ve got you covered — and we’ve got you in and out faster than you can say “Hey, those Film School Rejects really know what they are talkin’ about…”

Something has been happening in Hollywood over the past few years, and some people are really getting their noses out of joint about it: PG-13ification of American cinema.

No, we didn’t completely get it wrong. We did correctly predict that the teen horror remake Prom Night would win at the box office, and, well, we were right.

The weekend is here. That means it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy the Best of the Rejects.

Prom Night is infinitely better than the original (partly because it doesn’t feature a ten minute disco segment in the middle). Sure, it loads up with cliches and has more fake jump moments than actual scares, but considering the target market is horny teenage boys trying to get a rise out of their dates, this is understandable.

Well, this version of Prom Night is PG-13, so you can be assured there’s no nudity or graphic sex. And that sucks. So the next best thing is to bring a date and both get drunk so you can make some nudity and graphic sex of your own. And the good news is that the more you drink, the more you date will start to look like Brittany Snow.

Neil and Kevin break out the corsages and tuxedos to get ready for their big Prom Night. Neil admits to wanting to make out with both Keanu Reeves and Michael Bay while Kevin prepares to defend Uwe Boll. It’s a mess of springtime shenanigans with the Fat Guys at the movies.

Welcome to another truly ominous Reject Report. Ominous because, well, it’s looking scary at the box office this weekend. Not only do we have the horror movie Prom Night set to open along with the shoot-em-up Street Kings, but it looks like it will be another down week at the theaters.

There is no more creativity in Hollywood any more, is there? At least not in the slasher film market. They haven’t just remade the classics. They’re remaking the crap too. So, Hollywood, my present to you: A list of log lines for potential slasher movies based on either holidays other notable dates important to high school kids.

Well the remake of Prom Night is on the way, so I figured it would be fun for everyone to relive it. Maybe make it a party? I know I write a lot about parties and drinking, but then again, I am your Hollywood-based Movie Style Guy.

One of the first things out of someone’s mouth when it comes to a remake is “But the original is a classic!” No. Often times they’re not. They suck just as bad. Or worse.
