Loved the original, but come on, Cameron Diaz?


SHe was cute in the Mask, and that's about it. I adored the original with MacLaine and Caine, but yuck. I don't care for remakes, but with Colin Firth I would have given it a chance. Diaz was a terrible choice though.

Why do the Coens keep remaking classics such as Gambit, True Grit, The Ladykillers? Have they lost their sense of creativity after winning Oscars for No Country for Old Men?

I was very disappointed to see her as the leading lady but hope she won't be as bad as I think she'll be. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't hate her in Knight and Day. Plus, with the combination of Rickman and Firth, I'm hoping they'll make up for it.
