Subject: [MV] Remakes !
***** Sorry about the delay responding to this message, Allen .. I shall add
comments below ... certainly an intriguing subject matter though ... those
REMAKES !
Marc ;o)
>
>Out of general curiosity Marc, what is your opinion of
>remakes? Personally, I don't like them.
***** I have to disagree as most of the time I like remakes, especially if I
liked the original film .. Examples : 12 angry men (1990's-1950's) Cape
fear (1990's-1950's) Diabolique (1990's-1950's) If a story was good in the
original film I think it is a good idea to "remake" them later, maybe
changing some lil' details about the story ... ;o)
> Think about it, do you think the Mona Lisa should be repainted?
***** Not the same ... this implied the painting would be "copied" exactly
which can't happen for a film obviously ... a lil' bit like Gus Van Sant did
when he "copied" Psycho in 1998 ... Of course it was still a good film but I
would have preferred if some slight changes would have been made here and
there at least ... I saw both films back to back litterally ... The "new"
version on a saturday and the "old" version the very next day and they are
identical basically (95% plus !) .. dialogues, scenes ... of course the
actors are different and it's in color plus some lil' thingss added to
"modernize" the film ... Julianne Moore with a walk-man if I recall but I
think if you decide to remake a film you shouldn't copy it like that ... try
to at least do things a lil' differently ... or write a totally different
story inspired by a film or more, like Brian De Palma and his Hitchcock
fetish (Dressed to kill, Body Double, etc.)
>
>Now I realize that films are animate and all of the other classics are
>inanimate, so there is some room for compromise of opinion. But if a film
>is made well the first time, there should be no need to ' remake'
>it.
***** It makes the movie available for the new generation who might not be
interested in watching the older films ... like "A perfect murder - 1998"
4/5 and "Dial "M" for murder - 1950's" .. 4/5 as well .. if a film is good
then I don't see why they can't remake it later on so that the new
generation can enjoy it ... Let's face it, they wouldn't have released "Dial
"M" for murder again in movie theaters obviously .. how many young people
these days are really interested in going to see such a film ?? I know it's
a shame because it is a damn good film but the movie theaters would
certainly not be sold out ... unfortunately ...
**** Even newer films that are re-released like "Bloodsimple" - 1984 from
the Coen Brothers .. that one was in-and-out of the movie theaters here so
fast .. and I think it was only presented on one or 2 screens anyway ... so
a very old film would be squashed from the get go.
Most of the time, the remake is made for one of four reasons:
>
>(1) As a showcase for the ' hunk' or ' big tits' beauty of the day. Very
>often, these people don't have
> the talent of the cast or stars of the original.
***** Agreeing ... But for example ... Gwyneth Paltrow in "A perfect murder"
and "Anne Heche" in "Psycho" ... I don't think they were AWFUL (and their
tits aren't so
big either !) ;o)
>
>(2) The chance to exploit some prurient aspect that the society in the
>earlier times of the original
> wouldn't tolerate. And I've seen damn few films made as remakes
>where the sight of naked
> bodies, or exposed parts of bodies, or the over use of foul language
>improved it over the original.
***** I don't mind this so much ... if a film is remade, it has to be
"modernized" too ... part of the slight changes in the dialogues and story
that I feel are appropriate to make an effective remake.
>
>(3) They can include lots of car chases (and crashes) and explosions that,
>for some reason, the
> original didn't require.
**** Well, some action scenes can be added or modified (I imagine if they
remade North by Northwest, that opening "car chase" would look a bit
different, good !)
>
>(4) All of the above plus they can make it in color if the original was
in
>Black and White: mainly
> because, most young viewers refuse to watch Black and White films.
***** Yes, one of the reasons some "older" films would fail if they were
re-released again .. no matter how good they are .. Example : Double
indemnity - 1944 ...
>

>
>"The Thing" - 1951- Black and White.
>
>"The Thing" - 1982 - Color
***** I haven't seen the original 1951 film .. but the 1982 version is
available ... see .. this is another problem .. the "older" films are VERY
HARD to find ... go in any video stores .. you ask for "Classics" and they
only have a very limited selection in most cases, you simply can't find
those old films from the 50's and 60's most of the times ... The remakes
are easier to find, good thing !
>"DOA" - 1950 - Black and White
>
>"DOA" - 1988 - Color

2.5/5.

Subject: [MV] Slicin' and dicin' "Final destination" - 2000
** Some Spoilers **
Hi !
Well, I was very disappointed by this film. Not that I was expecting a
MASTERPIECE ... I was expecting between 2.5 and 3.5/5 actually from reading
rather positive reviews including a surprising 3/4 from Roger Ebert ...
I will NEVER understand him giving 3/4 to this film, NEVER !
At least James Berardinelli says 1/4 and trashes the film in a very
appropriate way ... phew !! The relief !! As for myself I am thinking
1.5/5.
"Final Destination" starts off with an intriguing concept, the first 15
minutes are actually good and
made me believe that the film would be worth watching .. but then it
degenerated into a complete mess rather quickly ... in fact I am thinking it
would have been better if all the students had died in the plane crash
at the beginning ...
Then maybe we could have seen "The GRIM REAPER" sitting at a table in the
airport's coffee shop for 90 minutes ... relaxing ... making small talk with
the waitress ... doing a crossword puzzle ... eating a piece of apple pie
with his 2nd cup of coffee ... contemplating life and DEATH ... now I would
have liked that better and I'm not kidding !
Unfortunately this doesn't happen and it goes from bad to worse after that
pretty good start ... I read they shot 3 different endings for this film,
and then of course the "test audiences" were brought in to pick the one that
was the most predictable and boring ... big surprise !
Ok, the story is simple enough so that teenie boppers who are most likely to
appreciate this "movie" will not be too confused with big words or actually
be required to "think" too much which would be a TRAGEDY !
The concept was good at least, a group of 7 teens have cheated Death's plan
by getting off a plane that was supposed to blow up ... One of the teens had
a sort of "premonition" that it would happen so while he is freaking out
before the plane takes off yelling "We're all going to diiiiiieeee ... he is
asked by the pilot to leave the aircraft at once along with several other
people (I guess so many people are thrown out so that
the movie would last more than 30 minutes !)
Instead of making this a typical and predictable horror film, teens being
killed one by one by one until the end, wouldn't it have been better had
only the main character and a teacher for example had been thrown out ... I
think it would have but this would have required ore effort from the
writer(s) so they took the easy way out.
Of course most of the characters are rude and annoying ... getting into
fights over "nothing" ... they all look like models too, I've never seen so
many big breasted girls in a horror film since "I know what you did last
summer" probably ... in fact IKWYDLS was on my mind the whole time while
watching this ... which is
NOT a good sign since it was an awful film !)
Even the teacher who gets off the plane with the disturbed boy and the
others looks like a swimsuit
model ... the other teacher was an old man who insisted on speaking french
to the perplexed students, plus he didn't look like a model so it was pretty
apparent he
was going to blow up in the plane .. as if the pretty brunette could have
been killed so early !
So now Death is mad, and looking for revenge against the people who escaped
miraculously. Trying to "correct" the situation and looking for the
survivors basically to get them one by one by one and killing them in
ludicrous and goofy ways almost like they would do in the cartoons ... Wile
E. Coyote style ! Example : The teacher is hit in the throat by a piece of
glass after an explosion ... then she falls down ... a knife falls on her as
she's pulling on a rag to stop the bleeding ... then a chair falls on top of
her empaling her on the knife ...
I mean this is almost like in "The naked gun", remember when OJ Simpson was
hurt badly at the beginning ??
I couldn't believe it !! I was waiting for Frank Drebbin
to show up (From the files of POLICE SQUAD !!) ... Unfortunately, this was
NOT a comedy !
Of course the silly boy who stumbles on the scene grabs the knife to make
sure his prints are all over the place ... people this stupid should not be
allowed to live,
I was rooting for "THE GRIM REAPER" by that point !!
It's a shame that an intriguing concept like this one turns out to be almost
a waste of celluloid mainly because the execution is terrible.
Predictable and formulaic, lots of clichΘs ... Laughable dialogue such as :
"Please, I don't want to die before the Jets win the Superbowl again ... "
Geeeeesh ... who wrote this ?? Terrible acting too, the boy in the lead
simply can't carry this film with his limited acting skills, sorry !
Characters who are alone in a room talking out loud to themselves on
numerous occasions to explain what they are doing ... Oh yeah I do that all
the time ... NOT !! Guess they wanted to make sure even a lil' 103 years
old granny waaaaaaay in the back would not be lost and understand all those
CRUCIAL twists in this story ... The film is also needlessly loud and the
special
effects are not very impressive either.
The only good element of suspense was in what order will they each die ..
and I could predict who would remain there by the end too ... so obvious !
Even this little bit of suspense was ruined by the fact that half way
through the movie, the main character discovers Death's plan, and states
quite clearly, who the audience will
see die next. It's embarassing.
Tony Todd has a cameo as an undertaker and appears in one perplexing scene
during the middle of the movie. He seems to know everything that is
happening to the main characters even if he has just met them, and for some
reason we never hear or see from him again. He doesn't even complain about
the fact the two teens broke into the place at 3am anyway ... He could have
least said **something** ... ;o)
The mindset of the film, which is "Were making a cheesy horror movie, not a
good movie" is basically summed up in one scene where one of the teens is
actually decapitated at a rail road in front of three of his friends. Their
reaction to seeing this ?? They don't care, they don't even look at him for
2 seconds ... they are HAPPY and EXCITED because they have found out Death's
plan.
1.5/5, only a few good scary moments save this one from and even worse
disaster ... so it goes in the graveyard with many other "Bad horror movies"
produced in recent years such as :
Halloween H20 : 2/5
Urban legends : 2/5
I know what you did last summer : 1.5/5
The haunting : 2/5
Marc ;o)

It was without a doubt the absolute worst movie that was ever made.
Actually calling it a movie was an insult to the word movie. When I saw it
we had to wait in line to get our money back. It was not a short line.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
The only thing scary about it was the rip-off pulled on the public.

Subject: [MV] Oldman claims "Contender" was butchered
Actor Gary Oldman is accusing Hollywood studio heads of turning
his latest film, "The Contender," into a pro-Gore "'piece of
propaganda' on par with that produced by Nazi propagandist Joseph
Goebbels." "The Contender" is about a female political candidate who
gets smeared by opponents for her allegedly racy sexual past. Oldman
says it was a relatively balanced film until studio heads started
editing it. More on this:

I haven't seen it, but 'most everybody says it sucks. Those who rated it on
IMDB gave it an overall rating of 4.9/10 (almost no movie ever gets behow
a 4); FlickPicks participants rate it 37th of 40 current movies. As Oz
would say, this is a movie for morons!

I haven't seen it and don't plan on it. The only good SNL movie I've seen
was Wayne's World. Judging by all the bad reviews it's getting, I don't
think it'll be worth it.

Don't waste your time.
RUN, RUN, DON'T WALK away from any theatre you can find showing it. Look
for a nice theatre showing Meet the Parents instead. Hell, settle for a
blank screen, it will have more chance of holding your interest than this
DOG!!!
