I hope you get a chance to check it out. I'd be curious to read your thoughts.<br /><br /><br />Jeff Allard:<br /><br />You are welcome! I am still pretty leery of an EFNY remake but if one HAS to be done, I could maybe see Eisner and Olyphant re-teaming. They certainly have a high standard to live up to that's for sure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-80706732630423150882010-06-30T09:51:03.990-04:002010-06-30T09:51:03.990-04:00Thanks for reminding me about this movie!

I normally would be against the idea of an Escape from New York remake but with Eisner directing and Olyphant possibly taking on the Plissken role, I'm cautiously optimistic.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-39423004445467914062010-06-30T09:15:57.684-04:002010-06-30T09:15:57.684-04:00I missed this one in theaters, but I want to watch...I missed this one in theaters, but I want to watch it now that its out on dvd.

Plus, didn't Walter Hill direct the pilot ep.?<br /><br />And yes, this film is definitely the exception to the rule that remakes suck. I will admit to being apprehensive going into THE CRAZIES because I dig Romero's version so much but this one won me over.<br /><br /><br />le0pard13:<br /><br />I'm glad you dug this film also. Yeah, I love JUSTIFIED as well and it's good to see Olyphant getting some mainstream exposure. He certainly deserves it.<br /><br />Oh yeah! The allusion to THE THING! heh. Y'know, I missed that but thanks for drawing my attention to it. I did wonder if the shots of the town ravaged by fire at night was perhaps a little warm-up for the ESCAPE FROM NY redo that Eisner is rumored to be directing?<br /><br /><br />John Kenneth Muir:<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words and I am really curious to read your thoughts on this one when you get a chance to see it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-67833255430944938992010-06-29T10:18:36.937-04:002010-06-29T10:18:36.937-04:00J.D.

When I ...I'll be grabbing a copy of this today! When I saw this, sadly in a little attended movie theater, I wondered if it was going to be a Michael Bag-like remake. Man, this was great! So, obviously MB had nothing to do with it. I had only to see that the man himself, George Romero, was the Executive Producer in the credits to understand why this remake worked so damn well. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell were pitch perfect, here--btw, <i>Justified</i> was one of my favorite new shows of this past season, too. Thanks for spotlighting this as a DVD of the week, J.D.<br /><br />p.s., I know you caught the THE THING allusion in the scene with the flamethrower.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-6182766185676279112010-06-29T09:47:15.933-04:002010-06-29T09:47:15.933-04:00J.D.

I love Rhada.<br /><br />We've had this conversation about remakes from time to time and the bottom line is, this will be the exception to the rule. I'm out of my tree to see The Crazies. I look forward to this one. It's the first film to come out on DVD I've been eager to see in awhile.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
