UPDATED Fri Jul 4 2008 15:50:57 One of my pet peeves with the movie industry is its production of remakes. Never mind sequels; that's a whole different rant. Not that every remake has failed to equal or surpass an original in quality, but I think those are few and far between in the glut of what's been produced. Every time yet another remake makes it to release, I can't help ...

This site is hysterical!!! They're movie posters of movie remakes and sequels that even the studios wouldn't think of. Like: No Country for Mole Men Nearly 50 Movie Remakes and Sequels So Bad They Wouldn't Even Go Straight to DVD I got this through Digg.

Last week, I asked you to imagine horrible movie remakes and sequels that not even the folks in Hollywood would be so bold as to create. You responded. Oh, how you responded. I have to share with you nearly 50 movies that, god willing, we will never, ever have to see. I hope. OK, hit the jump to see your top three winners and then all the other winners in our Gallery of Champions. First Place...

The 2004-released New Line Cinema film Cellular, starring Kim Basinger as a woman on the other end of a cell phone during a kidnapping, wasn't exactly a huge smash in the United States. Regardless of that fact, Warner China Film HG, which is a venture between Warner Brothers, China Film Group, and Link To Original Article

Well, I guess after 4 months of hard slog on behalf of the RR administration team and the vast generosity of the sponsors it’s time to unleash the rules and say “The Competition Is Go”. It’s been a long haul all told for us, the team, but it’s time to hand over the baton to you, the good people of the internet to see what you can come up with.

so for awhile hollywood has been on the kick of bringing old IP's into a new light. most notably Batman and Superman. of the two, the batman remakes are amazing. Superman Returns i believe was just atrocious and drab. the remake i am most looking forward to has to be 'RoboCop'.. i can't effing wait. and the director chosen for the project is just amazing. 'Darren Aronofsky'.. director of Pi...

Remaking Spielberg Jebus. "But it was Tobe Hooper" arguement: If you read up all the information, letters and interviews out there it is clear Hooper was used as a willing stooge to let Spielberg work around his E.T. contract which stopped him from officially working on any other directing projects before E.T. was in the can and released.

I actually liked 'Rob Zombie's Halloween' I give him kudos for at least trying to give Michael Myers a backstory (not that it required one) but it was the way to go and I've always liked Rob's visual style - of course his writing his abrasive, if you're not used to the type.. but as recent remakes go, it was a good one.   Didn't like 'The Ring' I found it boring (I almost fell ...

Yeah - I bought the DVD when it ...
