I guess we’re just trying to replay the 1980s all over again. So far we’ve had a remake of RoboCop, the remake of Red Dawn, plans for another Terminator, and now a remake of the quintessential 1980s kick-ass film Road House. Though we’ve been hearing about this one for a while, the project now has a director in Rob Cohen, the man behind such contemporary action classics as The Fast and the Furious and xXx.
Road House is one of those films that looked dated by 1991. Made in 1989, it starred Patrick Swayze (alongside his mullet) as bouncer James Dalton, who rides into a Missouri town to clean up a violent bar. He strikes up a romance with sexy doctor Kelly Lynch, hangs out with bouncer buddy Sam Elliott, and does badass battle with villain Ben Gazzara. It’s a Western for the 1980s, featuring some good music and lots of kicking.

The Hollywood remake machine trundles on, and the latest classic movie in it's sights is one that will no doubt stoke the ire of many a movie fan (myself included). 1989's Road House, which had Patrick Swayze in the iconic role as James Dalton, the bad ass bouncer of a small town dive bar, has being picked up by MGM, with Rob Cohen (the first The Fast and The Furious, xXx, Daylight) attached to direct. Michael Stokes, whose previous script Crash Bandits is also in development with Cohen, will be providing the script. Now, I wouldn't call Road House one of the cinematic greats, but it is a fantastically cheesy and infinitely entertaining movie, and I'm hoping against hope that this remake will do it justice. via The Wrap...

"Mystery Science Theater 3000" guru Mike Nelson referred to "Road House" as "the single finest American film," but what really gives the saga of Patrick Swayze's super-bouncer James Dalton that extra punch?
Probably all the punching, as evidenced by a new video that properly catalogs, indexes and files "Every Face Punch in Road House!"
Is that listed under "F" for "Face" or "P" for punch? Try "X" for "X-cellence in violence."
Dalton is the Tai Chi-practicing peacenik who takes occasional detours from pacifism to rip a dude's throat out or knock some sense into every redneck in the world. With his two fists of iron, this 1980s relic tough guy and his mentor Wade Garrett (Sam Elliot) manage to clean up Missouri bar the Double Deuce but good, and make "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" look like a dance recital in the process.

Vigilantes in movies have always been a popular concept, from the D.W. Griffiths 1913 western A Misunderstood Boy to last year’s Kick-Ass audiences have enjoyed the idea of “Ordinary Joes” taking the law into their own hands to right society’s wrongs and ensure justice is done. While vigilantes have remained a regular theme throughout the years, the genre has never been more prolific than during the 1970s and early 80s. Films such as Taxi Driver, Death Wish and The Exterminator, which is released on Blu-ray for the first time this week, took vigilantism to new levels, pushing boundaries of acceptable violence on film and reflecting the changes in American values following the Vietnam War.
John Eastland (Robert Ginty – Coming Home) is a Vietnam veteran who, having survived a torture ordeal and witnessed the brutal deaths of his friends, returns home to a tough neighbourhood in New York. When...

Everyone seems to be looking to pitch the next hit show in the vein of MTV's "Jersey Shore."
Kevin James Dalton, aka DJ Strip, is working on a reality TV series under the working title "The House Shares of Fire Island," the New York Post reported Friday without saying when or where it could air.
It will follow the DJ's wild gigs in Manhattan and Fire Island, where he lives in a beach house owned by Joe Beck, who's "defraying the $1 million cost of his dream abode by renting rooms out to contentious housemates," the paper said.
According to Strip, "Beck is the next Michael Sorrentino . . . he may not be 'ripped,' but he is colorful."...

Though Patrick Swayze's extensive career prompted massive tweeting about "Dirty Dancing," "Point Break" and "Ghost" today, it's important not to forget some of his less prominent contributions from "Donnie Darko" and "Saturday Night Live." Richard Kelly and Seth Meyers were just two of the many mourners who showed up in the Twitter-Wood feed to share such memories.
Swayze's death wasn't the only tragedy to appear today, though, as Jessica Simpson's dog Daisy was apparently kidnapped by a coyote. The actress and singer posted a worried pick of the missing pooch her account, in case anyone finds it. Elsewhere, "Eclipse" filming continues and you can find tweets from director David Slade as well as actors Peter Facinelli and Anna Kendrick below. They're in the Twitter-Wood report for September 15, 2009.
