Flight of the Phoenix remake is supersucky

[novella]

Absolutely the worst movie I've seen in a year!!!

Someone ought to put Dennis Quaid out of his misery.

There are a lot of bad things about this movie--the script, the camerawork, the acting, the casting--but the thing that made it truly unwatchable was the soundtrack-happy audio, where every time the writers didn't know where to go with the screenplay they start playing Fine Young Cannibals or Stevie Winwood or some other godawful unsuitable dance music at top volume and everyone on screen gets up and dances!! It's like watching Soul Train in the Desert with Your Host Dennis Quaid as the Grumpy Stubborn Alpha Male.

This is one for los garbagios.

They don't make remakes like they used to

The brilliant movie "The Front Page" was remade by Howard Hawkes as the equally brilliant "His Girl Friday."

"The Philadelphia Story" a classic starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, was remade as the great "High Society" with Grace Kelly, Louis Armstrong, Sinatra, and Da Binga.
