Bad News Bears (2005)
Nothing new, save your money
I gave the remake a 6. I consider the original a 9 or 10. As a kid the original BNB was as close to the actual Little League experience one could get. Growing up in the 70's and seeing the original as a kid has over the years, made me appreciate the original BNB more and more over the years. Tanner is one of my favorite characters in moviedom.
The new version while staying very close to the original, has none of the spirit of the old classic. All of the actors fail to live up to any of the original's grit and toughness. The new Tanner is a joke. He looks like Tanner, speaks like Tanner, acts like Tanner, but he is not Tanner. Same goes for everyone except for maybe the Timmy Lupis character. He was passable. Billy Bob was and still is the only choice to play Buttermaker, but even he can't pull this one off. There is just no reason for remaking this classic.
The kid in the wheel chair was just ridiculous.
Why?
Lost in Translation (2003)
You've got to be joking!!!!!!!!
"Lost In Translation" is flat out one of the worst movie experiences of my life. My girlfriend rented this piece of nonsensical garbage last week, and we were both left in utter disappointment. We rent a LOT of movies, go the the theater, and see at least 60% of releases. Big fans. As an actor, I usually like Bill Murray, and Find SJ appealing as well. "LIT" has no plot, no ideas, and an asinine script. All this movie does have is my $3.00 rental fee. We asked for our money back, and it was gladly given. I have no earthly idea what the critics and fans of this movie are raving about. If this wins "movie of the year" then I'll stop watching. Nothing happens. I could describe scene by scene of this movie and not give away any SPOILERS. There aren't any. OK, here is a spoiler. Nothing happens, and then nothing happens, and then (you won't believe this), nothing happens. I hope I'm not giving anything away. Geez oh Pete this was bad. Give Bad Boyz II the "MOTY" honor. You might as well. Scarily enough, it may have more credibility. Buyer beware.
