In front of Lenny DiCrapio's "The Wolf of Wall Street":

I, Frankenstein - will probably avoid this one, the trailer doesn't tell me anything.

Lone Survivor - Mark Wahlberg in another war-movie that is based on a true story. Will see this day one.

The Legend of Hercules - C'mon Hollywood, get real. How many times can you remake this movie and expect people to come see it? I won't!

Remake what movie? Hercules is a Greek myth and that's what every film interpretation of Hercules has been based on (well, except the Disney animated film. That was Superman. ).

They can call it what they want, but Hercules in movies is about as original as Mom's Apple Pie. There have been more than 20 movies about the "legend" of Hercules beginning back in the 50's. Who can forget "Hercule" and "Hercules Unchained" starring Steve Reeves. There have been retelling of the stories of the legend of Hercules for over 60 years. Disney even has a really ridiculous version that is animated.

Hollywood just plain refuses to pay screenwriters for their manuscripts and resorts to finding something in their barrel of flops and tries, in vain most of the time, to remake it with a different storyline. A good example of this is how badly they ruined the 1947 original film of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". Hollywood thinks that they have to make sure that there is enough swear words and sexual innuendo in their movies or no one will pay to see the movie.

There have been some exceptions, but very few in my opinion, that hold up to the original. The worst of the lot includes: "Footloose", "The Day The Earth Stood Still", "Red Dawn", and the "Dr. Doolittle" series of films. Some of the better remakes include: "3:10 to Yuma" as an example. I refuse to fall into the Hollywood trap of what they call a new movie, when in truth it is just a retelling of the story by a new bunch of actors, and writers, who have to make sure that the proper amount of swear words and sexual innuendo are in the movie.

Catching up for my irregular postings...
The stuff I saw over the last two weeks

In front of American Hustle (Was not as good as Silver Linings, but still manages to squeak into my top 10)
-?- (will be left blank as I got in late; I'll find out what this one was before long)
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (Can Chris Pine reallly be Harrison's successor? Can't say as I have not seen any of his Jack Ryan pictures; Second-Run)
The Other Woman (The next nonsensical rom-com; Rental?)
Lone Survivor (Marky Mark goes in full war drama mode; Might see via illegal download, thanks to a relative who does that sort of thing, which is NOT my thing)
RoboCop (Do not expect this to compare to the original classic; Talk to me after I walk out of this one, opening weekend)
The Monuments Men (Must-See, if only to determine how much award potential it could've received)

In front of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Again, this was not a remake, but a completely different interpretation of a unique short story; Ben Stiller did a very fine job with the material, but the 1947 version with Danny Kaye had just a bit more charm
Endless Love (Typical twisted romantic murder plot story; No Interest)
Winter's Tale (Weird combination of modern romantic drama and steampunk thriller; No Interest)
Noah (Aranofsky's follow-up to Black Swan; Hopefully it's worth the risk; Would like to know more)
Heaven is For Real (As I've said before, I'll read the book first)
Son of God (Not that religious, but this could be worth my time, just not in first-run; No Interest, yet)
Rio 2 (There was a lot to like in the first film; Hopefully Bruno Mars can help improve on it; Will-See)
Mr. Peabody and Sherman (Must-See, you know, for the kid at heart)
[Please note that Rio 2 and Peabody shared the same trailer pod, their current trailers cut down by half in order to fit]

In front of The Wolf of Wall Street (Quite simply the best movie of 2013)
Draft Day (Ivan Reitman's next film; Would like to know more)
August: Osage County (Roberts vs Streep; Only if it receives any Oscar nods)
Million Dollar Arm (Jon Hamm attempts to bring cricket and baseball together as one; Must-See)
The Monuments Men (See Above)
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (No Interest, as I cannot stand horror as a genre)
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (See Above)

And in front of Grudge Match (I'm a bit neutral on this one; It was funny to a point, but nothing special)
Ride Along (A black variation of The Heat; Won't see immediately)
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (See Above)
Son of God (See Above)
RoboCop (See Above)
Edge of Tomorrow (Tom Cruise works with robots, again; No Interest, yet)
Blended (Sandler and Barrymore reunite, could be the comedy of the [early portion of] summer; Must-See)

This was a REMAKE and you might as well get over what you think is a remake or not. We have so many films this year that are remakes of the classics, that I am just glad that I own the original film and don't have to waste my money or time watching Hollywood add language and sex to their version of the original. It's like no movie sells without foul language and sexual innuendo. Give me a break!

And let's make sure it stays that way. My apologies for opening up any angry stances.

In front of Inside Llewyn Davis (Not for those uninitiated to the world of Joel and Ethan)
Labor Day (I don't know what's worse: Attempting to find drama in making a pie or being hostaged in a home invasion, at least I think that's how this trailer went; No Interest)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson's newest, thus it cannot miss; Must-See, once it's at a theater within reasonable public transit distance)
The Railway Man (Colin Firth's next listless role; No Interest)
Endless Love (This has big budget HBO or Lifetime movie written all over it; No Interest)
