For the last couple of years, there seems to be nothing but biopics, remakes and movies based on tv shows. Where the **** is the originality anymore? I have no problem with a good biopic, but it seems the only reason why Hollywood churns them out is to get an Oscar nod. Is it really necessary to remake a perfectly good movie the first time around? Movies like the Fog and Psycho were classics, why redo them?

A movie based on a television show is really hit or miss. For every good Brady Bunch movie, there is Mod Squad or Avengers to kill it. Then you have your big budget movies that look great with all the cg technology, but lack a plot to go with the special effects. I started watching more and more independent and foreign films and not to sound pretentious or anything, they seem so much better. There are stories and plot twists. There is originality with their stories that you just don't see from Hollywood. Anybody else feel this way?

I don't like super hero movies. There are too many of them.

I agree. With the exception of the Brady Bunch movies, I just can't stand remakes. I know that us being lovers of sitcoms from back in the days, we would love to keep our faves going and going, but to make a movie abt them is ridiculous. I think what made the Brady Bunch popular as a theatrical release was to finally see the family really look out of place, have them be made fun of, ridiculed, etc. We have for ages made fun of the show in general, so it was only fitting to make it a movie where that fun could be poked at. Seeing all the rest of the movies that have been made, aren't interesting at all. You can't do them justice.

Bios, I love. As long as it's well made and has an interesting story, then great. But, then there are some I just don't get who would watch them. I thought Leo DiCaprio's The Aviator would be good. I am so glad I didn't spend good money on that piece of crap. I seen it on HBO and I was soooooooo friggin' bored!!!!!! It didn't hold my attention all the way through.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME AND SHOULDA WON BEST PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year most of the movies weren't worthy of the award nominations. I thought they were kind of lackluster.

I agree, That was a great movie

I hate tv remakes. For the most part they make mockeries out of beloved TV Shows. The Mod Squad, The Dukes Of Hazzard, The Beverly Hillbillies, etc. The only remakes I did enjoy were The Brady Bunch Movies, The Addams Family Movies, The Fugitive and Mission Impossible but the good ones are few and far between.

I think the biggest problem with movies right now is that they all seem to be remakes. Remakes of movies that are perfectly fine they way they are.
