Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Willie was just plain creepy in this (and not amusingly creepy like Wilder was) and the movie lacked the charm of the original
What a misfire!
The three musketeers 2011
shareThe only decent (3 musk) is "The Man in the Iron Mask." You have Irons, Malcovich, & Byrne, all at prime carrying Depar & Dicap to it.
When "Athos" leans in at the grave site & kisses "Louis'" heart it's a moment.

Though toward the end when the family is discussing {at high pitch} who will be wearing the iron mask going forward it's a hoot. Shit, they're like any family.
The American version of the British sitcom Coupling. (The American version didn't make it past the pilot, for good reason.) They used the exact same script, word for word, and every single line fell flat. It was like they had replaced the actors with cardboard cutouts.
shareNever saw either but ill take your word
The Brits have a knack for comedy and i generally dont enjoy American sitcoms
Since MissMargo took Psycho, I'll go with The Experiment (remake of the very excellent Das Experiment). It was fun, in a stupid kind of way, but it was just too ridiculous and added this unnecessary thing about evil corporations. I do give them props for trying to add something new though, even if I didn't like it one bit.
sharePoint Break.
Robocop.
Total Recall.
Total nonsense every one!
I dont 'hate' the idea of remakes but to take 3 action classics of my youth and screw up every one is going too far Hollywood😖
I couldnt even finish Robocop and Total Recall...Point Break was watchable but made me realize how much the world needed way more Swayze
Arrrggghhh and yuck!
Disney's live action version of Beauty and the Beast.
Ha😂 you just love the Disney movies!
Its so sweet and so are you!
I have seen neither but i will take your word for it😉
Don't make fun of me, I can't help being a sweet girl.😢
You've never seen the most beautiful Disney animated movie ever made?! What a disgrace!
Vanilla Sky was a horrible remake of Abre Los Ojos
Point of No Return was a dull imitation of La Femme Nikita
=)
I missed both Vanilla and Abre Los Ojos so i cant opine
i enjoyed Point well enough...the girl was cute ( dangit i forget her name )
Yes, the great Bridget Fonda!
Point of No Return is a movie that is pretty good on its own, unless one has seen La Femme Nikita first. The original is a work of art.
I also thought about mentioning Vanilla Sky! A melodramatic egotrip of Tom Cruise that seems to miss the point of the original.
