A drastic proposal: No more remakes
Monday, October 22, 2012
We need to ban remakes for a while, to bring some originality back into our cinemas.

New video releases for October 23 include ‘Magic Mike,’ ‘Secret of the Wings,’ ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,’ ‘Seeking a Friend For the End of the World,’ ‘Madea’s Witness Protection,’ ‘Wrong Turn 5,’ ‘Blade Runner,’ ‘I, Robot’ in 3D, ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday,’ and the Universal Monsters Collection in a coffin-shaped box!
So, I’ve been with CliqueClack since the very beginning of the site. I love it and, at least three times a day, I have a thought that I think would make a wonderful post for it. But despite all this, I haven’t written for CliqueClack like I’ve wanted to. There are a few reasons this.
‘Alex Cross’ falls flat in just about every way. What should have been a fairly straightforward cop story devolved into a hot mess of uneven acting, odd camera work and Matthew Fox as you’ve never seen him before.
New movies on video October 16 include ‘Moonrise Kingdom,’ ‘Madagascar 3,’ ‘Avatar 3D,’ ‘That’s My Boy,’ ‘Chernobyl Diaries,’ ‘A League of Their Own,’ ‘Pete’s Dragon,’ ‘The Funhouse,’ ‘Terror Train,’ ‘The Sterile Cuckoo’ and more!
Tyler Perry gives up Madea’s dresses for Alex Cross’ badge in the new thriller ‘Alex Cross.’ And we have free passes to an advance screening. Find out how to get yours!
‘Argo’ tells the now-declassified story of the rescue of six Americans during the Iran hostage crisis, showing that heroism can come from all quarters.
The filmmakers behind the new documentary ‘I Am Divine’ need your help to bring the story of The Most Beautiful Woman Alive to the big screen.
‘Rock of Ages’ wants to rock you like a hurricane, but you may just end up rolling on the floor with laughter at the absurdity of it all.
Throughout watching ‘Dollhouse’, I really wanted to love the character of Fran Kranz’s Topher Brink, but something was missing. After finally seeing ‘The Cabin in the Woods’, I know what it was: he needed to be more Marty.
