I felt my body getting hot, face getting red,sweat running down my back ( yeah... really )... don't worry, I'm ok now.

Sick and tired of Hollywood.

Its like Microsoft, big not necessarily because they are the best, but just because they got there first and they can splash more $$$$$$$$.

Hollywood films have come to an all time low. Predictable action movies...yeah the good guy always kills all the goons and makes off with some broad. If its an apocalyptic film....the hero always saves the day and manages to knit back together his 'dysfunctional family'......

The latest Hollywood fad is the saw/hostel kind of films. A bunch of people on the road in an isolated place....blah blah..... Or even better still a bunch of people wake up in a locked room or eventually find themselves in one, sicko comes in and you know how that goes.

It's amazing how predictable these films are yet people still watch them en mass. I always frustrate my friends by telling them the probable plot line of these kinda movies before they go out watching them. I get an 'A' grade when it comes to that.

And the latest new fad. This one makes any real movie watcher feel like throwing up. Remakes of Asian films.

It is unbearable, like being in a dry air sauna, especially if you have seen the original.

The are current plans to remake My Sassy Girl with American actors! No matter how much money they pump into that cow it will NEVER be as good as the original. How can they seriously hope to capture that Asian comedy, that is such an integral part of the film, with Hollywood actors? They chose Elisha Cuthbert to replace Jun Ji-Hyun.....now that has to be the biggest joke of the year.

"....the movie will be really bad, and [I] don't think it's hard to [imagine].... it's just the atmosphere, acting, actors that make it so good, and you cant fake that by just making any simple remake..."

I recently found out that Saving Private Ryan was very similar to Tae Guk GI. One looks at the cinematography and action sequences will tell you SPR is a non contender. The remakes of The Grudge and Ring (original was Ringu) were dismal. You will get freakier chills from Ringu any day. They also remade Shall We Dansu as Shall We Dance....no comment there.

Any of these can pass over but a remake of My Wife Is A Gangster would make anyone explode with rage.....not only a remake but with Queen Latifah?...(Oh God, Why Have Thou Forsaken Us)!
I bet it will be one of the most disastrous remakes of the movie unless they completely modify
