Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяIn this week's episode we had a big whinge about two bad modern remakes of classic films from the 80s and 90s, John Woo's The Killer and as Rupert Sanders' The Crow. The Killer (2024) is directed by John Woo and stars Nathalie Emmanuel and Sam Worthington. It is a remake of the 1989 classic also directed by John Woo, starring Chow Yun Fat, about a professional killer who accidentally blinds a woman while on a job. The Crow (2024) is directed by Rupert Sanders and stars Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs. It is a remake of the 1994 cult classic directed by Alex Proyas, starring Brandon Lee, about a musician who after being murdered alongside his lover, is resurrected as an immortal avenger to exact vengeance on those that wronged him. Spoiler alert: we prefer the originals. Where do the remakes fall down? Are we just a couple of old guys that can't let go? Let's discuss.

Night self-funded this odd duck of a movie as a means to support his daughter Saleeka's singing career. Ma Da: The Drowning Spirit (2024) is a Vietnamese ghost story about a malevolent spirit that haunts the Mekong River. Alien: Romulus is the good one.
