At first I was rather dubious about the remake of William Wyler’s classic 1959 Ben Hur, a movie that setup the modern archetype of what a manly hero is and paved the way for plenty of epic Hollywood movies. The last thing I wanted was a Micheal Bay remake with Baysplosions everywhere and a lead that was as deep as the …

South Korea is not obsessed with revenge, though you’d be excused for thinking so if looking at films like Oldboy and Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance. These films typically have a brutal edge, but throw the audience a curve ball. At the end you may not be entirely sure who you support, because if Korean movies love to do anything it’s to …

Love and marriage, love and marriage, it’s an institute you can’t disparage! Growing up, I used to love watching Married…With Children. Al Bundy was an unappreciated genius, I had a strange crush on Peg Bundy and the storylines made me realise that I never ever want to be a shoe salesman. Man, the 1990s were weird.

Although they were initially quite successful with MTV’s Clone High and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, it was really 21 Jump Street that put co-writer/directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller on everybody’s radar. By all accounts, that movie shouldn’t have work, but Lord and Miller just seem to have the comedic Midas touch and turned a rather corny old TV series into a brilliantly …

The Expendables 3 may be tanking harder than a battle between Arnold Schwarzeneggers sagging pectorals and gravity, but that doesn’t mean that director Patrick Hughes doesn’t have any work lined up. In fact, he’ll be helming a remake of The Raid, which will have Frank “The Purge: Anarchy” Grillo as a lead. Grillo won’t be alone however, with a cast …

A development studio were working on a remake of the original Metal Gear game. The project has since been shut down by Konami.

When it comes to horror remakes, there are great movies and truly awful ones. The Hills Have Eyes is arguably the most shining example of how to revisit a terror classic, followed closely by the new Evil Dead. Last Updated: August 14, 2014
