This 90s remake isn’t all that. The iconic 90s comedy hit “House Party” with Kid n Play and the late Robin Harris will last longer than this new remake. It knew how to have Kid sneak out for a party… Read More ›
Remake
A Man Called Otto
Tom Hanks is the reason to see this American remake. If you just moved into the neighborhood, you better hope Otto Anderson doesn’t insult you or criticize you so often, because he is one angry person. But if you do… Read More ›
Hellraiser (2022)
This remake raises some Hell. Before I watched the reboot of “Hellraiser,” I had to travel back in time to see the 1987 version, who was directed by Clive Barker, who adapted his own novella “The Hellbound Heart.” It’s an… Read More ›
Pinocchio (Disney+)
Yet another unnecessary live-action Disney remake. There have been many attempts to top the original 1940 Disney animated classic “Pinocchio,” which was taken from Carlo Collodi’s story, and many have tried and failed. There was “The Adventures of Pinocchio” with… Read More ›
Father of the Bride

Mulan (2020)
The latest Disney remake brings honor to the main heroine. The 1998 animated feature “Mulan” was an absolute delight, because it possessed a Chinese spirit by resurrecting its legend Hua Mulan, giving the heroine her courage and honor, and allowing… Read More ›
The Jesus Rolls
This spin-off/remake wastes the iconic character and rolls gutter balls. “The Big Lebowski” will always be one of the Coen Brothers’ most extraordinary and nostalgic masterpieces of this or any other century. It resonates with fans with its twisted sense… Read More ›
