1991′s ‘Point Break’ is the latest film to be dusted off for remaking, as former cinematographer Ericson Core has been hired to direct it, and there’s already a finished script. Which means this might actually happen. Great. In the original FBI agent Johnny Utah (played by Keanu Reeves) was on the trail of bank robbers [...]

When I heard about 21 Jump Street being made into a movie, I was somewhat excited. I loved the TV Show when I was younger. It could have been because of Johnny Depp or Richard Grieco but none the less it was a good show.

More Hollywood Remakes

You probably know by now how I really feel about movie remakes. I don't like the idea of Hollywood remaking movies. Yes, I understand that this happens and always will, however, for me some of these remakes are just a little bit too soon. Today I ran across a long list of movies that probably [...]

Every time I hear that Hollywood is doing a remake, I again hit my head against the wall, why, why, why would they want to do this, why ruin a great movie. I understand that remakes are going to happen. I realize that they want to bring a great story to a new generation, but why, this why now. Hollywood is wanting to remake Point Break.

Another Hollywood Remake: Romancing the Stone

Romancing the Stone is one of my favorite movies. I love that movie, it has adventure, action, romance and crocodiles all in one movie. I owned it on VHS and I think I wore the poor tape out. The movie was originally released in 1984 starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. It also spawned several movies with this trio. Now rumors are floating around that Hollywood is wanting to remake this movie. UGH!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Again?

I love a good scary/horror movie. I like to be scared, however, some don't scare you at all and others scare you to where you don't want to sleep by yourself. For me, The Strangers was that kind of scary movie, I still get goose bumps when I think about it. Back in 1974 one particular movie did that to most people. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released in theaters. Many remakes and redos of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre have hit the big screen over the years. Some were scary and some just down right ridiculous.
