In Reply to: Remakes - WHY? posted by bjjb on July 29, 1999 at 07:16:25:
as far as remakes go ...
"Ben Hur" was great.
"Little Women" was surprisingly adequate.
"Sabrina" was a waste (no surprise there).
"Little Shop of Horrors" blew less chunk than the original.
if I see "the Paper" one more time ... well, let's not go there.
"12 Angry Men" would've been up to par, if it weren't for Tony Danza.
Keneth Branagh has made great Shakespear remakes of Olivier films... too bad both "Othello" reeked... I wish he'd remake Julius Ceasar while Charlton Heston is still alive & finally put Jason Robards to bed.
It all depends. A classic may be enhanced by technology, but how is the "Hunting" supposed to make up for Roddy McDowell's performance? Sure they can add better sound & enthalling advantanced special effects. You can also expect a more-explicit rape scene. But, come-on, who, in their right mind, could hope to hold a candle to Roddy in this? PLEASE! I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can't fathom the talent nor the testis.
