Body: I would like to nominate Steve Martin as the official face of the remake. And as a bonus honor, I would also like to nominate him as the representative of sequels to remakes as well. Here are his credentials: 1. Pennies from Heaven - a remake of the original British mini-series Pennies from Heaven 2. Little Shop of Horrors - a musical remake of the original Little Shop of Horrors 3. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - a remake of Bedtime Story 4. Father of the Bride - a remake of the original Father of the Bride 5. Mixed Nuts - a remake of Le Père Noël est une ordure 6. Father of the Bride Part II - a sequel to the remake of the original Father of the Bride 7. Sgt. Bilko - a remake of the original TV series The Phil Silvers Show 8. The Out-of-Towners - a remake of the original The Out of Towners 9. Cheaper by the Dozen - technically not a remake, but there already was another Cheaper by the Dozen movie based off of the same novel 10. Cheaper by the Dozen 2 - sequel to what I'm guessing is basically a remake 11. The Pink Panther - loose remake of the original The Pink Panther 12. The Pink Panther 2 - sequel to the remake of The Pink Panther 13. Martin is also currently slated to appear in a remake of Topper Those are his biggest credentials He was also in Roxanne which is based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac which has been done in movies many times. Also A Simple Twist of Fate was based on the book Silas Marner which had been made into a TV movie a decade earlier. I know I'm reaching with this last one. But still, can anyone think of a a person out there that could rival Steve Martin as the king of the remake? With so many remakes being done these days I'm sure there are many others up to the challenge.

Body: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) is a hoot. A consumate con artist (Michael Caine, in fine form) runs into a spot of trouble when a brash young American con artist (Steve Martin, youthfully kinetic) invades his territory. So they wager: The first one to get $50,000 from the young American soap queen who has just stumbled up the steps gets to stay and the other has to leave town. I liked the natural, almost leisurely pace. I also thought that the woman who was on a trip because she won a laundry detergent contest (Glenne Headly) held her own with the two big name guys. Incidentally, Glenne was later in Mr. Holland’s Opus (1995) and Breakfast of Champions (1999). Lately this MENSA lady has been a regular on the TV series “Monk.” This movie is a delightful piece of entertainment.Jim Bell
