You check what's playing at the theater and realize "They already did that better long ago."
V to bio below: heck, I'm thinking this ALL THE TIME. Look, I like Denzel, let the man fly airplanes upside down through time warps to save Paula Patton, I'm cool with that. But redo "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" with Travolta in the Robert Shaw role? And Streep is great, but come on -- in its time, the original "Manchurian Candidate" was cutting edge, whereas the remake felt like way too little way too late. "Gatsby" should probably never be filmed, period, it is first and last a reading experience. I'm not even talking about classics -- without the knockout Jerry Goldsmith score, what point is there to another "Total Recall"? Hollywood is crapping on its own best history.
