re Old-boy remake:

 

in my opinion, the Korean film, while it has some superfluous and goofy stylistic flourishes, adds a surprising depth to the parental/filial guilt -theme that is at the core of many Asian films. 

 

Spike Lee used to be an alright filmmaker and I actually like Josh Brolin in the role, but I just detest the shot-by-shot US-remakes. It's obvious that Hollywood is starving for new material - there's only so many comic book and toy-franchises to turn into blockbusters - but remaking a film 1:1 with Western actors is just cynical.

If it's already been done just appreciate it and leave it alone. Chances are (as with The Departed) that the end result is just a dumbed down imitation with little merit on its own.

Pacific rim is fucking amazing, honestly didnt expect to be this good   

the score and the cgi where amazing too, the dialog was kinda meh.

I wanted more of Cherno in Pacific Rim.  When its theme kicked in on that double it was amazing.

pacific rim was okay. fight scenes were awesome, but the acting and dialogue was pretty terrible. cgi looked pretty good. i had higher hopes for it though.

What do you guys think of 47 Ronin? Im a huge fan of samurai flicks, but it looks like this is destined to be Hollywood blockbuster heavy on the CGI and light on sensible plot, character development, etc.
