Where Is the "Showgirls" Reboot?

With Hollywood being all about the remakes and reboots, I keep finding myself asking the same question: What about Showgirls? It’s a classic and Elizabeth Berkley is still smoking hot, so why isn’t there a reboot or remake in the works right now? Sure there is co-star Rena Riffel’s self-helmed sequel Showgirls 2: Penny’s from Heaven (2011), but we need Elizabeth to come back for another round too! … read more Continue reading

Quickly, Let’s Name 50 Films That Can Never Be Remade and Save Their Souls

The dust has settled and it looks like they’re really going to remake Logan’s Run . With Ryan Gosling. Yep. You might remember that I mocked the original Logan’s Run the other day . I was positive we didn’t need to revisit it, actually! And yet, Logan Run ‘s bastardization is a minor loss compared to what could be. The occasion calls for a rally: Let’s name 50 movies that can’t be remade for the following reasons: 1) They’re perfect the way they are and belong in a time capsule; 2) they will seem grotesque in a 2011 update. Please add your own. Together, we can save some lives.

I Spit on Your Blu-ray: DVD Roundup 2-8-11

This week on DVD and Blu-ray, we have the skingorrific sleazefest I Spit on Your Grave (both the 1978 original and the 2010 remake), along with the 1996 skinstant classic Barb Wire . It’s a triple threat of bare-breasted butt-kicking babes! I Spit on Your Grave (1978) The original revenge flick that started it all, I Spit on Your Grave stars feisty firecrotch Camille Keaton as a writer who is brutally attacked by a group of backwoods hillbillies and left for dead before coming back to deliver an equally brutal vengeance. Along the way, Camille shows off every inch of her naked body. And that will have you spitting in your pants. I Spit on Your Grave (2010) The equally violent and sleaze 2010 remake of I Spit on Your Grave features Sarah Butler in the main role. And just like Camille in the original, Sarah survives her vicious and sadistic treatment to take revenge on her attackers, but not before baring boobs, butt, and beaver. And that will have you spitting in your pants like its 1978 all over again! Barb Wire Racktastic 90s sex symbol and PETA activist Pamela Anderson stars in the 1996 skinstant classic Barb Wire. As a bra-busting bounty hunter/club owner in dsytopian fascist future, Pamela has plenty of occasion to get naked, like when she bares T&A in the rain-soaked title sequence. Sadly, there’s no full frontal so we don’t get to see whether her aversion to wearing fur counted for beavers too.

An Eclectic Cast Plays Russian Roulette in the 13 Trailer

Watching the trailer for this American remake of the nifty minimalist French thriller 13 Tzameti is a bit frustrating. It looks remarkably similar to the original film, and the fact that Géla Babluani directed both versions only adds to my suspicion that this remake is unnecessary and probably kind of dull. But then there’s the cast. And the fact that watching Mickey Rourke, 50 Cent, Sam Riley and Jason Statham play Russian Roulette under Michael Shannon’s supervision may actually be enough to get me to watch the same movie again.
