Out of the Blue

Last night I got my closure on the Planet of the Apes situation as I finally got to see Tim Burton's remake of the sci-fi classic through the magic of the ole satellite, after writing about my interest in seeing it in this space way back when it first appeared in theaters. It was as much the inertia of how infrequently we make it out to the theaters that contributed to not catching it at the time as the poor reviews it received, but I can certainly see how I'm glad that it worked out this way. Around the time that the recent remake of Ocean's 11 came out I had a conversation with a movie buff who raised an excellent point about movie remakes... unlike cover songs, where the idea can at least occasionally be to remake something obscure or stinky, movie remakes are usually something that succeeded so well the first time, there is nowhere to go but down when revisiting it.

Yes, the remake of Ocean's 11 is vastly superior to the original. Better acting, better script, better directing... better movie.
