so the reason you didn’t like it was because it was a shot by shot remake?

but then again you said you didn’t like the original, so the whole concept is flawed to you?

making movies is expensive, so you don’t like it because it wont make money?

i’m lost with this review.

Excellent review, Jerry. This looked interesting but I’ve never seen the original and didn’t even know this was a remake until days before this version was released. Sorry to hear it’s not all that great. Now Watts has the remake of THE BIRDS coming out, ugh. I guess the remake trend rears its ugly head once again.

My only question… does John Zorn return to do the “soundtrack” again?

Great review Jerry, but I must disagree. I freaking LOVED the movie. I got the original in the mail today from NetFlix. Can’t wait to check it out.
