Speaking of HBO, right now you can win a box-set of HBO DVDs over on Flavorwire.
Bourne scribe Tony Gilroy recently attached his name to the why-oh-why remake of Red Dawn, ostensibly to update the paranoiac tone of the Cold War original and, surely, to reshape the action into something foreign for '80s Swayze: realistic. Tonight, catch John Milius' bloody, far-out 1984 ode to the Second Amendment, as part of a series out to re-screen early-HBO Film classics. It's best to forget our recent nuclear accord with Russia, as our comrades — with their preposterous, Cuban-supported invasion of the Midwest — are stopped "butt cold" by the Wolverines, a ragtag resistance made up of just-graduated Swayze, juvenile guerrillas like Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey, and plenty of all-empowering firearms.
