A pretty decent effort of a remake of the original Thai film. It compares well and the scenes are very similar, but the Thai version was more jumpy and creepy for me. Though that could be partly put down to knowing what was coming. The imagery of the ghost girl is no way as scary as the Grudge, Ring remakes. Enjoyable film well made and featuring a recognizable cast including Rachael Taylor from Transformers.

Limited story
If you are a fan of Theme Hospital, this is perfect for you, as this is effectively a modern-day remake of that game. If you like Tycoon games, I would recommend this game. Any game that has good, light humour is worth a try, in my opinion. You can't go far wrong with this.

2007 | Action, Drama, Western
2007 remake of a 1950s original (which I haven't seen), and - I'm sorry to say - , this just didn't do it for me.

Despite starring two stellar actors in Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, I found this to be slow, plodding and just, well, boring; never really taking off or holding my attention at all.

You want to see a good film/Western (in all but name) by James Mangold? Stick with the infinitely-superior 'Logan'.

Join me, a horror fanatic, in film discussions, gruesome polls and share your reviews.

Since the age of 4 I have watched horror, it has become my life. I still have a DVD collection of over 400 horror films, my pride and joy. I love reviewing new additions but my speciality is remakes.

No-one does it better than the original gang.

Remake or original?

Pink Panther 2 (2009)
Pink Panther 2 (2009)
2009 | Action, Comedy, Family
2009 sequel to the 2006 Pink Panther film, which itself was a loose remake/reimagining of the original Pink Panther films.

Here, Steve Martin returns as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau, with John Cheese taking over Kevin Kline for the part of his boss Commissioner Dreyfus, and with Jean Reno returning as he's a sidekick Ponton.

More of the same slpastick-style comedy as the first, but fails to reach that (relatively low) bar.

Almost identical to the original (2 more)
Lots of running and shouting in the woods
More shaky camera work
More of the same
Nothing new here at all. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a sequel, although I think it is, but it could be a remake. Almost identical to the original scene for scene for large parts. The only difference is the camera is up to date and they have a drone. Don't waste your time.
  
There is talk of a remake/reboot of one of my all-time favorite movies, The Last Starfighter. The original writer had held the rights for a long time I guess and even said no to Steven Spielberg at one point.

Now it sounds like it might happen from the writer of Rogue One. They are messing with my childhood here, so not sure how I feel about it.
