Remade

"How much to add a third hand?"

Weary of remakes? Not so excited about a classic Schwarzenegger epic being reduced to a watered down PG-13, cgi filled  (don't forget the slow-mo) "reimagining" that features the actually really good Colin Farrell? I like the guy, but after Miami Vice, Fright Night, and now the upcoming (re-upcoming?) Total Recall (available at all Videoramas dec.18th), he's apparently Hollywood's go-to guy for starring in the already made.



"Me throw girl in water."

Well, I hate to say this but it's really nothing new. Since the dawn of movies, the same idea has been re-used and recycled and re-tuned into the same old story that gets regurgitated into different shapes and sizes, which is how we get different shaped Frankenstein's Monsters heads.





"You talkin to me?!"

The first version of Mary Shelly's classic tale of science gone mad was made in 1910, produced by Thomas Edison and featured a very unframiliar version of the Creature, which resembled The Hunchback more then anything made by Dr. Frankenstein. Kind of looks like his malformed assistant. You know, the dude who stole the wrong brain?

Charles Ogle as The Monster.



           Some people are balking at the upcoming Sam Raimi directed Oz: The Great and Powerful, yet the 1939 version of The Wizard of Oz, the classic we all know and love was actually the 3rd version of that story. The original was made in 1910. I mean, I guess a case could be made about these movies being based of novels, which kind of brings up the argument that it's a story written for a different medium, thereby giving different filmmakers lisence to interpret the material in their own way.

But how many times has the same story been retold and retold in a mirror effect like when you look in a mirror with a mirror behind you and the Mirror People are inside whispering to you about invisible children in the walls? You know what I mean? Guys?......*echo
