i'll take a moment here to rant about the whole "remake" thing that just seems to be getting bigger and bigger with each passing year. do we REALLY need remakes of awesome old movies like "the italian job", or americanized versions of asian films like "the ring" etc...
and even in recent years, it's become even worse... taking old movies and shows that are interesting only for their nostalgic/strangeness value like miami vice or deathrace and churning out this tasteless swill that some people seem to really like because they have no point of reference
i cant think of a single remake that i felt improved on the original. some were close; i didn't mind the new planet of the apes or the new star trek, but... can't we have something new instead of rehashing stuff we already know?! urghhhhh
i was going to rant a bit about them defiling the legend of bruce lee by remaking one of his works, but i suppose i can forgive the jay chou choice, i really enjoyed him in the curse of the golden flower

i've just been watching anything on rottentomatoes with a mark of higher than 7.5/10 recently and came across this awesome documentary:
Exit through the gift shop
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587707/
sort of starts off with this bonkers french filmmaker dude who goes to try and get an interview and footage of that british street artist banksy (he's the one that did that amazing graffiti on the wall in palestine that was in the news a few years ago, i'm sure you dudes remember) and ends up making a movie that sucks, so banksy sort of reverses the roles and starts filming this french guy in order to create a more cohesive film; ends up as an examination of art in modern times as a manufactured and soulless product (that was my impression at least)
i love my docs, and this was the best i've seen in several months.
