“Remake These …”

Okay, I hope you can stand one more post about remakes because Michael Adams at The Wrap makes a really good point:

Anyway, as I’ve said before, why not focus more on flicks with good ideas that weren’t done right the first time around, rather than simply retelling already brilliantly told stories simply to make a buck?

To that end, a modest proposal.

Before plundering the likes of “The Silence of the Lambs.” “Reservoir Dogs,” “The Piano,” “Groundhog Day” or “GoodFellas,” how about retooling these 13 movie misses from the 1990s into something audiences might see and enjoy in the 20-tweens?

Here’s Adams’ list:

“Memoirs of an Invisible Man”

“Quick Change”

“Joe Versus The Volcano”

“Darkman”

“Arachnophobia”

“King Ralph”

“Clean Slate”

“Drop Dead Fred”

“Airheads”

“Candyman”

“Innocent Blood”

“Jetsons: The Movie”

“Life Stinks!”

Any other 90s movies come to mind? I can think of one. Great script. Horrible directing. A little rom-com called Trojan War (1997).
