Maybe Martyrs, because there's no way America could pull off a movie like that. <br /><br />Oh, and Cabin Fever because that movie was garbage the first time around and I'm definitely not looking for another one of those.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799692319538063538.post-84367533314342615722016-07-18T15:39:20.031-07:002016-07-18T15:39:20.031-07:00I feel like your review was nicer, but my score wa...I feel like your review was nicer, but my score was higher--well, that's a pickle.<br /><br />Anyway, are there any remakes this year that do drive you batty, B? Personally, having been mostly pleased by Ghostbusters, I still remain deeply, deeply suspicious of The Magnificent Seven and Ben-Hur remakes. Especially Ben-Hur. I mean, what, are we gonna get a fully-animated CGI chariot race? What the heck is the point of <i>that</i>?<br /><br />(Mag Seven could at least correct the sole problem the original has, which of course was "being made under the Hays Code." Presumably, since that one's Antoine Fuqua, it won't simply allude to bullet wounds with a few ketchup-stained shirts.)Hunter Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925220178171355473noreply@blogger.com
