Film Reviews

Mark Kermode is in particularly fine form this week for his film reviews on BBC radio FiveLive. The remake of The Wicker Man turns out to be as bad as I feared, and, in Mr. Kermode’s fine words: "the film Little Man is, in every way, evil-minded, bad, and a profoundly depressing indictment of the way in which the modern movie industry works… It is the most retrograde, horrible, nauseating, inward-looking, smug, repulsive, grotesque, ill-advised, badly-judged film".

    Why do Americans always seem to take good films and not ‘remake’ them as they claim, but totally alter them? I was watching the original Wicker Man the other night, and it has its faults course, but its an out and out classic. Who would touch it? Let along ruin it.
     
    Did you see what they did to The Vanishing? The original german film was a masterpiece.

    Hey, I’ve never seen Spoorloos – so thanks for the recommendation. It certainly looks good, judging by the comments on IMDb…
