I failed to sign up on the linky so I guess only my friends will know what I think!
Alex's latest blogfest is a vote for best and worst movie remakes. I have not seen a lot but here goes...
Best Movie Remake:
True Grit - Loved the whole movie and Bridges was Oscar-worthy all the way.
Scarface - My favorite Pacino role and must quoted film of this genre. Awesome.
Worst Movie Remake:
Total Recall: Just don't.
Arthur: Dudley Moore was hysterical in the original...the remake was an affront to comedy.
Best Song Remake:
This one is a tie for me and both are by Metallica:
Turn the Page - original done by Bob Seger love both versions in different moods
TurnThe Page - Mighty Metallica
Whiskey In The Jar - Old Irish drinking song last done by Thin Lizzy. Fun sing-a-long song
Whiskey In The Jar - Mighty Metallica
Worst Song Remake:
Pretty much any rock song that has been turned into hip hop
Res Ipsa Loquitor

Metallica! Good choice. Liked the latest True Grit.
The Linky List is still open! I'll make sure you are on it.
Alex: I saw it was still open when I got to your site so I signed up. Probably dead last :)
Hey, we have one in common, Chuck. I liked the world-building in TOTAL RECALL (and Beckinsale for part of it), but there was a definite Arnold-sized hole in its heart.
LOVED Scarface! And Metallica. I had to drop out of this hop. Too much drama this week.
Milo: Yes that is it exactly!!
Nancy: Sorry you had to drop...hope all is well.
True Grit was awesome! Total Recall sucked! I'm right there with you on the Rap. There seems to be a bit of a resurgence in R&B right now, so maybe there is some hope...
Yes, True Grit is a great film!
So agree on Total Recall! Haven't seen Arthur or True Grit...or Scarface!
