31 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
MTV, capitalising on a series of home runs in their scripted show offering decided to log on to the still simmering global tween-obsession with things that go bump in the night, and revive Teen Wolf for the Jersey Shore generation.

24 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There are several dozen adaptations of Alexandre Dumas’ classic 1844 French adventure, “Les Trois Mousquetaires,” ranging from over twenty filmed versions from as far back as 1903, animated adaptations, plays and even computer games. Let’s take a look at the latest one.

17 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This week we’re looking at Being Human, a personal favourite of mine that received the re-make treatment in the States just last year, while the British original continues next year into its fourth season.
Re-make Mondays- If It Ain’t Broke: The Amazing Spider-Man
10 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Late in 2010 Sony announced that they were scrapping the planned fourth installment in Sam Raimi’s series of Spider-Man films (with Toby Maguire and that annoying red-head) and instead were going to reboot the entire series from scratch.
Re-Make Mondays: Second Verse, Same As The First- Snarf! It’s Thundercats
03 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Growing up in the 80s, there were two things that I would argue to my last breath during little and/or big break. First, red ice-suckers tasted better than green ones, and second, Thundercats was cooler than He-Man. That was basically it. No argument.
Re-Make Monday: Smiley Like You Mean It – Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
26 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
This week’s re-make is less a strict film re-make, and more the graduation of a classic television interpretation to the big screen, and considering how well acclaimed the original story is, it’s quite surprising this hasn’t happened sooner: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Re-Make Mondays: There Goes The Neighbourhood – Straw Dogs
19 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 opus, Straw Dogs, stands as a monument to the psychological thriller genre to this day, and makes surprisingly thrilling fodder for a re-make.
Re-make Mondays: Smells Like Bacon, Tastes Like Turkey. It’s Footloose
12 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Footloose is an odd creature in the world of 1980s dance-saves-the-world feature films. It never hit the dizzy heights of fan or critical acclaim that Dirty Dancing did, and now, twenty seven years later, a re-make appears. But does it have that Bacon sizzle?
Re-Make Mondays: It’s T&A Television, 2011 Style: Charlie’s Angels
05 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s not just feature films that are receiving the re-make treatment these days, but also classic TV series. This week we take a look at the latest outing for crime-busting trio (or should that be ‘busty’?), Charlie’s Angels.
Re-make Mondays: D-List and D-Cups – Conan The Barbarian
29 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
This week we take a look at another cult classic dragged from the mists of time, rebooted with some big effects and bigger chests (as many D-cup pecs as D-list names) and presented in a cinema near you, in glorious 3D. Conan The Barbarian.
Remake Monday: Fangs For The Memories – Fright Night
22 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Who here can remember the first film that scared them sh*tless? I can. It was 1990, and Mnet were screening the 1985 camp horror classic, Fright Night, early one Saturday morning. Let’s compare the original with this year’s remake.
