Anton Yelchin, left, and Colin Farrell in "Fright Night"

(Credit: DreamWorks)

(CBS) If you've seen the 1985 "Fright Night," you know it's a goofy, bloody homage to and send-up of horror films. So how's the new film? Because there's nothing like a bad remake to ruin your weekend.
Pictures: Summer movies 2011
GOOD NEWS: The reviews are in and they're pretty favorable. (If you don't care about reviews, don't bother reading any further.)
Sean O'Connell in the Washington Post writes, "It stands apart from the rehash pack by accomplishing something rival remakes rarely do: It improves on the premise it has been handed, producing a modernized version of a decades-old story that's superior to its predecessor in virtually every aspect."
Here's a long one:

Directed by Craig Gillespie ("Lars and the Real Girl") from a script by the television powerhouse Marti Noxon ("Mad Men," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), "Fright Night" honors the original - written and directed by Tom Holland, with Chris Sarandon as the blood sucker next door - without falling into the traps of slavish fandom or smarty-pants spoofery. The old "Fright Night" was both self-aware and effectively scary, and if this one seems to prefer gruesome digital effects to old-fashioned bump-in-the-night spookiness, it still succeeds in keeping the audience both tickled and anxious.

The New York Times

"[Director Craig] Gillespie's movie is light and enjoyably foul, and part of the pleasure of watching is the evident pleasure everyone involved had in making it," writes Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe.
In Rolling Stone, Peter Travers writes, "Director Craig Gillespie ("Lars and the Real Girl") is wise to just turn [Colin Farrell and David Tennat] loose. Voila! Black magic."
Don't get us wrong; there are unfavorable reviews out there, too. The good far outweigh the bad thus far.
How about you? Will see "Fright Night"? Let us know in the comments.

JONESBORO, Ark. — Lawyers representing three men convicted of killing three 8-year-old boys in a notorious 1993 murder case have reached a potential deal that could allow the men, known as the West Memphis Three, to walk free on Friday, people familiar with the deal said.

The men, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr., have been in prison since 1993, Mr. Echols on death row and the other two serving life sentences, despite numerous appeals and post conviction hearings, and a committed army of supporters who have insisted on their innocence.
The deal being discussed would not technically result in a full exoneration; some of the convictions would stand, though the men would not admit guilt. Should Mr. Echols be freed, it would be the highest profile release of a death row inmate in recent memory.
The deal comes five months before a scheduled hearing as to whether the men should be granted a new trial in light of DNA evidence that surfaced in the past few years. None of their DNA has been found in tests of evidence at the scene. The Arkansas Supreme Court ordered the new hearing in November, giving new life to efforts to exonerate the three men.
In May 1993, the bodies of the boys, Christopher Byers, Steve Branch and James Michael Moore, were found in a drainage ditch in a wooded area of West Memphis, Ark., called Robin Hood Hills. The bodies appeared to have been mutilated, their hands tied to their feet.
The grotesque nature of the murders led to a theory about satanic cult activity. Investigators focused their attention on Mr. Echols, at the time a troubled yet gifted teenager who practiced Wicca, a rarity in the town of West Memphis. Efforts to learn more about him, spearheaded by a single mother cooperating with the police, led to Mr. Misskelley, a passing acquaintance of Mr. Echols, who is borderline mentally retarded.
After a nearly 12-hour interrogation by the police, Mr. Misskelley confessed to the murders and implicated Mr. Echols and Mr. Baldwin, though his confession diverged in significant details with the facts known by the police.
Largely on the strength of that confession, Mr. Misskelley was convicted in February 1994. Mr. Echols and Mr. Baldwin soon after were convicted in a separate trial, largely on the testimony of witnesses who said they heard the teenagers talk of the murders and on the prosecution’s theory that the defendants had been motivated as members of a satanic cult. Mr. Misskelley’s confession was not admitted at their trial, though recently a former lawyer for the jury foreman, filed an affidavit saying that the foreman, determined to convict, had brought the confession up in deliberations to sway undecided jurors.
An award-winning documentary, “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills,” was released after their convictions, bringing them national attention. Benefit concerts were held, books were written a follow-up documentary was made and the men’s supporters continued to pursue their freedom. Many residents of West Memphis resented the presumption that outsiders knew the details of the horrific case better than they did. But in recent years some, though not all, of the victims’ families have begun to doubt the guilt of the three men.

What if your car can go with just water and fuel are no longer out of the exhaust fumes but water vapor?

In the near future you will feel to drive an environmentally friendly with zero emissions (zero emission). This car using only water as fuel and produces only water vapor, with no smoke, clean and 100% environmentally friendly.

This is a hydrogen-powered vehicles, vehicles with alternative fuel that uses hydrogen as its fuel.

These vehicles convert chemical energy into mechanical energy of hydrogen either burn hydrogen in internal combustion engines, or by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in fuel cells to run electric motors.
