Watched this for the first time last night. Would actually work well in this vacuous Insta-age. Presume this remake never made it.
Good for her. A lot of people did like it, and they enjoy watching it. I still haven't seen it, more out of laziness than anything else.My 8 year old niece loves the new Ghostbusters. It's one of the few movies she will sit through.

I'm just watching True Grit, the Coen Brothers movie. Decent movie, but I cannot see how it got 10 Oscar nominations.
One was bad enough...Some sort of sequel to Labyrinth is in the works, I hope they CGI in Bowie's crotch to honour the original.

News broke last December that David Gordon Green was working with Blumhouse on a new movie in “The Exorcist” franchise. Green and Blumhouse reinvigorated the “Halloween” franchise with their eponymous 2018 horror movie, the first film in a trilogy that continues this year with “Halloween Kills” and next year with “Halloween Ends.” It turns out Green and Blumhouse are taking the exact same approach with their new “Exorcist” movie, not only crafting a trilogy but also bringing original star Ellen Burstyn back to star just as Jamie Lee Curtis did for the new “Halloween” films.
I've never been able to look at corn/popcorn the same way since seeing this scene. And not in a good way...
Barbarella?!How about a feminist remake of Deuce Bigalow?
It was fine. If they had called it something else there wouldn't have been such a fuss.
I had the misfortune of watching that recently, it really was so bad I had to watch it to the end. It was hypnotically bad.Anyone ever seen the remake of Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone?
It's not very good, to put it mildly. Completely missed almost everything that makes the original so wonderful and turns it into a generic crime "thriller".
Heck no. I watch it once a year or so, and the description of political manipulation and use of the media to take over a planet without firing a shot is even more perceptive than it was originally. It's not really about that Australian actress eating a guinea pig.I think V has had its day
Stallone also completely missed the point in Judge Dredd by removing his helmet in that film. Massive massive mistake. The Dredd character is famous for never ever removing his helmet. I know Stallone was a bankable huge star and 'the money people' wanted Stallone's face to be seen but studio execs clearly hadn't done their homework (or even cared) who Dredd is. The more recent 'Dredd' on the other hand was excellent, Karl Urban portrayed him exactly as he was in the comics. After watching that version, sometimes I'll turn to the Mrs and say "Rookie!. Assessment." when we're talking about new staff.Anyone ever seen the remake of Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone?

I seem to remember a comic where Dredd spent the entire story in the bath with his helmet on, and still managed to catch some bad 'uns.Stallone also completely missed the point in Judge Dredd by removing his helmet in that film.

Oh but it is though.Heck no. I watch it once a year or so, and the description of political manipulation and use of the media to take over a planet without firing a shot is even more perceptive than it was originally. It's not really about that Australian actress eating a guinea pig.
It seems to me that if Stallone has to say a sentence of more than three words it sounds like he's reading it from a card that he hasn't seen before.I seem to remember a comic where Dredd spent the entire story in the bath with his helmet on, and still managed to catch some bad 'uns.
Stallone attempting to shout "I am the law" is 50% funny and 50% cringeworthy...
