| 12.30.04 | Pay-Per-View | another lesson in why remakes suck. I can see it now... "hey we can't make this the same as the original. We need some twists at the end!" The outcome strips every element which made the original film (granted it was dated and timely) creepy: the passive acceptance of the whole idea by Katherine Ross' husband. Instead, Broderick has to be likable so the whole ending is a sham and ends up being some weak-ass crazy-speak monologue by Glen Close. It wasn't a perfect movie to being with and the remake managed to kill what little charm the original held. Post script: I don't know if it was just for pay-per-view or what but that had to be the fastest end credit crawl I've ever seen. like 30 seconds tops. insane. |
