For Your Anticipation: Red-Neck Wisdom

So, I have no idea why "Straw Dogs" is apparently so damn important. Apparently it was a remake of a controversial film, but the film was only controversial because of a rape scene. That's old hat these days. And nothing from the trailers eludes to anything more than an average thriller. So I'm not going to go on expecting anything more.

Teaser Trailer: "Straw Dogs"

As per usual, films like this sneak up on me to the point in which I at first don't know what to make of them, then immediately afterwords foolishly discount it as looking stupid. That was my first reaction to the trailer for Straw Dogs before taking a closer look. This one oddly seems to have promise, with a more than interesting cast outside of Kate Bosworth. She's there as an object of affection. James Marsden needs something to inspire faith in him after Hop. I can buy into thrillers like this, but it's okay to be cautious of the film playing too obviously.
