Ladykillers

[nine9]

Well tonite I rented Ladykillers.......a black comedy, and TCM the remake. So far saw LK.

Anyone see it yet?

Well I am a huge fan of the original with Alec Guiness and Peter Sellars. This one is not even a fraction as good as the original. Although it does get better in the last quarter, it lacks the true darkness, and chemistry of the original.

Hey, how can you beat PS and AG as a twosome. Geniuses!

Not bad.......just another movie they shouldn't have remade. Tom Hanks though, was great in his role I must say......and it did have some funny moments..............oh well off to watch TCM.......another remake :rolleyes:

Haven't seen it yet, but I will soon. It's Coen brothers, so I'm sure I'll like it.

P.S. When isn't Tom Hanks great? That guy's awesome!

You guys really have to see the original if you haven't though.........really so much better....LK I mean!

About TCM..........well..........it wasn't that bad........def not as scary as the original. That one seemed alot more real. I haven't seen the original for many years though...can't find it anymore.

It is too bad that remakes are almost always disappointments. The only one lately that I've seen that I was impressed with was Willard.

It was really well done.........I had heard it was but was sceptical.Turned out that I liked how they did it..........campy and very stylish. Holds it's own.

I liked Willard. And i liked the TCM remake. Although i havent seen Ladykillers yet. But Tom Hanks annoys me with that laugh!

TCM Remake wasn't all THAT bad...But, it can't touch the original...No way...No how...

Man, the remake of TCM was way better than the original. Better acting, more suspense, better SFX.
