The Last House on the Left but one 10:09pm on 09 Mar 2009 Perhaps it's not the fact that a film is remade, perhaps the bench mark is already set with the original and the perception shouts, go on, entertain me then, with bigger, faster, louder, more horrific etc. The watcher constantly judges and compares back to the original and cannot possibly see the new film with fresh perspective. The subconscious just takes over. Also, don't you think that after a decade or two of repeatedly wrenched emotions from the portent of horror film genre, future expectations could be unmalleable?

I speak of course from a childhood that couldn't bear to watch 'Teddy' being stuffed in his basket by Andy Pandy.
How to understand foreign language movie awards 8:51pm on 23 Feb 2009 Yes I think the Academy should scrub the foreign film category altogether, regardless of the language it's shot in. Perhaps BAFTA could lead the way and revolutionise their awards system. The Brits could demonstrate how truly international we are and 'Hollywood' has had it's day.
Waving the flag a bit more, didn't Danny do well? Chuffed to bits and of course, 'YouKnowWho' predicted all this and we saw said Dr, basking in the glory of the late winter sunset on his blog! Good luck with the Roadshow in Leeds next month, Mark. Sorry I'm going to miss it.
Opinion: I vill say ziz only vonce 01:16am on 29 Jan 2009 Forgive the intrusion from a mediant by'stander but don't banish good cinema to the clutches of the elite. Spare a thought for those whose literacy skills, especially in reading for meaning, are not up to the standards of students of film. I agree the melange of accents is off-putting but not to the extent of losing possibly, one-in-five of today's adult audience. As usual, I stay up far too late reading everyone's comments. Keep up the good work, Dr K.
