So here is my blog. Haven't been on in a long time. I now have a baby and life is crazy busy.Ok let me vent, this will be the first time venting for me in a long while. I love movies...especially funny movies. And I don't understand Hollywoods need to remake movies that don't need remaking. Like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I could go on forever with this topic. I could even go on forever about remakes of movies that were bad in the first place, but they somehow made even worse. Like Amityville Horror for example. But the two main ones on my list are two of my favorites. Two movies that are perfect in every way and they are going to bastardize them.
We will be starting with Arthur. The original movie starred Dudley Moore an alcoholic millionaire. His parents pick a woman for him to marry who is equally wealthy. They tell him they will cut him off if he doesn't marry her. So instead he falls in love with a working class woman played by Liza Minelli. If you haven't seen this movie then I highly recommend it. It is possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. And it gets funnier every time I see it. John Geilgud alone makes the movie as Arthur's snooty butler. They are set to remake it starring Russell Brand. Russell Brand was in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. And while he is funny, he is no Dudley Moore.
Then the second movie that pisses me off is Romancing the Stone. A movie which starred Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny Devito. Kathleen Turner Plays Joan Wilder, a romance novelist who travels to South America to look for and rescue her kidnapped sister. She finds herself stranded in the jungles and finds help in the form of Jack Colton played by Michael Douglas. Together they decide to get the treasure at the end of the map her sister sent her before they hand it over to the bad guys. This is yet another perfect movie that should not be made.
Did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory not suck enough for them to figure this out?
