[MPOWER]

Not read much of this, so apologies if going over old ground.

Dawn of the Dead

Zombies in the Shopping Mall type thing.

Rambo.

Dawn of the Dead is the best of all George A Romero "the dead" films. Watched the remake last night and as remakes go it pretty good. Sorry to point out it was actually a 70's film, released in 1978. It's interesting how many 70's films have been mentioned in this thread. Personally I think many classic films were made in the late 70's before everything had to be made into a blockbuster.

Can't wait for this weekend to see what Hollywood has done to the Wickerman.

I've previously slated Hollywood for all it's recent cash cow remakes such as the awful Italian Job and Assault on Precinct 13. I also fear the worse for the remake of the Wickerman as this is one of my favourite films of all time. Guess I just keen to see what the have produced.

Now what I am really dreading is the proposed MTV remake of my all time favourite film the Warriors.

I fear the worst whenever I hear the word 'remake', regardless of context.

(Many times bitten, very very shy.)

I also fear the worst when I hear the words 'Cage' and 'Nicolas', so when you put it all together....

Whilst not a huge fan of Mr Cage I did like him in 8mm. I rented 8mm 2 last weekend and was very disappointed. Yet again a low budget sequel created just to cash in on the success of the first film.

Just seen that film 4 are showing the classic "Repo Man" this Friday 11:30ish. I had planned to purchase the DVD this w/e but glad to get the chance to see it first and see if it is still as good as I remember.

The thing that made the original Italian Job so good was the classic car action. However in the Hollywood remake there is only about 5 mins worth of mini action. The remake is awful IMO when you compare the two films against eachother.
