Hollywood production studios did not have the access to the technology that producers have today. It did not exist yet! Now, with the power of state of the art technology and CGI animation, movies really seem to come to life and pop off the screen like never before. This technology has proven to be successful in great remakes of older movies like “The Green Hornet” and “Captain America,” as well as hack and slash movies like “Halloween” and “The Last House On The Left.”

What’s next for Hollywood remakes of older movies? We experienced horror remakes of “Friday the 13th” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. We have also seen great movie remakes of classic television shows. Could the hilarity of funny cult classic flms from the ’80s be waiting around the corner? You bet there is!

There are so many great movies from my generation that I grew up watching. Many of them I still enjoy watching on a regular basis and I am also looking forward to watching the remade versions of these classic movies.

Every horror movie made in the last twenty years has been remade. From The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to A Nightmare on Elm Street, the current studios simply add 3-D and remarket these tired tales to adolescent kids willing to fork mover 10 dollars for a movie they were not born to see the first time around. Why not just rent the original? There are exceptions, of course. The Coen brother-s retelling of True Grit was an exceptional piece of storytelling and cinematography; it stayed honest to the original John Wayne version while also bringing something artistically new to the remake.

The worst remake, however, has got to be Psycho. It is a shot for shot remake of the Alfred Hitchcock classic. How unoriginal.

‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ is now available to view in theaters. This stunning remake of the original ‘Planet of the Apes’ takes place prior to the original. Viewing the history behind the possibility of apes running the world, this excellent film is now available for your enjoyment. The remake explores the possibilities of creating a serum that will enhance the brain activity in chimps. This film is suitable for all ages with the guardian of a parent. Attempting to find a cure for Alzheimers, the main character tests such products on chimps. This begins having wonderful effects, and is assumed to be the cure. The chimp became increasingly intelligent, and assumed a position as a ‘household pet’. Not only do things eventually go wrong, the Alzheimer tried on a person also has adverse effects. This film is a wonderful remake of the original. With stunningly enhanced graphics, this film is sure to impress even the most tech-savvy viewer. Many are unsure if they would like to go view the remake. Although it is a remake of planet of the apes, the storyline is slightly diverse creating the perfect film.
