- Big Hollywood’s John Nolte has something to say about today’s cultural critics … and he doesn’t mince his words. Nolte’s lack of ego is refreshing – and it’s doubtful his peers can boast the same state of mind.
- James Cameron … and others … weigh in on all things 3-D.
- Film critic Kevin Carr rushes to the defense of 3-D. I suppose somebody has to – I know it won’t be me.
- CNN tallies up some classic movie teachers – and, yes, Jack Black made the grade. So glad “School of Rock 2″ hasn’t graced a theater (yet).
- And, finally, a tidy list of the 75 remakes and reboots heading our way soon. It’s entirely possible the list could double by the time this link loads on your computer.

75 remakes and reboots! Wow, they really have given up, haven’t they? Weren’t “Drop Dead Fred”, “Six Pack” and “Porky’s” lousy enough the first time around?
That’s on top of 80-some sequels in the planning stages. Imagination isn’t so much dead, but walking around with arms elongated, screaming “brains” and terrorizing garage sales for 30-year-old lunch boxes.
Criticism is alive in well, in the proper corners, but increasingly political has become the personal, and leaving that at the door step to watch a film is a difficult task for a generation who has been taught that leaving certain parts of themselves out of analysis is strictly antiquated, and in fact, not artistic at all. My first step in dropping the New York Times was when the food reviews would find ways to take shots at George W. Bush. The final step was reading the front page and five stories were using anonymous sources, but I’ll give the critics credit for showing that even as a liberal newspaper, the paper wasn’t worth what was being dumped on it at the fish market.
Porky’s was a good movie. But anyway, remaking a flawed movie makes more sense than remaking a classic.
