It’s true that the sheer volume of remakes out there indicate a lack of originality in the film industry (or, more aptly, a lack of will to finance originality), but they’re not all bad.

Greenberg (2010) — The big thing you need to overcome to enjoy this movie is that Ben Stiller plays a total asshole. Seriously. The guy is a major-league dick to everyone in his life. He doesn’t mean to be but he is. It’s a pretty decent compliment to Stiller’s performance that I didn’t hate the … Continue reading →
