Maybe because it did not do well the first time is the reason they have for a re-do. IMHO, it is the only rock that Darabont has pulled (plus the CGI really SUCKED), despite having a pretty good cast (and many members of the Darabont stock company).

If they keep the ending of the novel vs. the way Darabont's film ended (which I HATED), I might give it a try.

Considering how much cleavage Connolly shows in the film, I was surprised this did not go out as a Touchstone film when it was released-totally different for Disney, as is Dalton's fate.

Let us not forget, this was the summer before Disney's resurgence really began: THE LITTLE MERMAID had gotten critical raves and did very well at the box office in 1989, with many hoping that it would turn around the box office track record of the previous decade. That they had gotten the team of ...

Saw the film opening weekend at the El Capitan in Hollywood (it was also the reopening of the theater under that name [it had been the Paramount]) and the place was just gorgeous but a lot of us came to find out that the best place in the house for sound was the balcony-not the main floor-this film ...

Just ordered it on Amazon-finally. Gotta wait two months for it to ship, but I can wait.

What company released this in Germany? I am going to check with a couple of sources about this.

Well, KILL ME AGAIN was a pretty decent noir from John Dahl (what has he done lately) and BANDITS is one of those films that has really good moments right next to ones that make you shake your head.

And JINXED is a movie that lives down to its name....

Already have Fandango bookmarked for the big day .

Finally-EXODUS anamorphic.

I think the Monster Cable disc is based off an earlier edition, because I know I purchased it while I was still living in Los Angeles, and I left there in early 2012. What I like about the multi-channel version is that you have a choice of the ambiance while listening-small jazz club, concert hall ...

I was a huge fan of the strip when I was a kid (had tons of the books and a few hardcovers), never missed the TV specials and loved A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN when I saw it on the big screen (although I thought that, with the exception of the title tune, that McKuen's songs were just OK). I also had ...

Never had any trouble whatsoever understanding anything that was going on-perhaps the Coens were able to keep the dialogue sharp with their touches. In no way would I characterize this film as "dry." I think so many of us have become so used to fast paced cutting and dialogue in the past 20 years ...

BRIDGE OF SPIES: 8.5/10

Spielberg and Hanks team up again (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, THE TERMINAL) for this film based on the true story of Jim Donovan, who first defended a man suspected of being a Soviet spy (Mark Rylance-wonderfully droll) then was asked to negotiate the return ...

Since the film expanded into more theaters it did do a bit better in its second weekend, so I am not giving up on it yet. Also, considering that it cost $35M and has already made about 1/3 of that back, don't lose hope, MJ.
