"This has been a good week for remakes (or a bad week, depending on how you feel about them), but while announced redos of our beloved mystery comedies, sci-fi actioners and neverending fantasy flicks are shocking enough, there’s not a blogger in the world who saw a new “contemporized” version of Damn Yankees coming. Let alone one starring Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal as Mr. Applegate (aka Satan) and soul-selling baseballer Joe Hardy, respectively. Yet Hugh Jackman and the rest of the all-singing-all-dancing stars of Sunday’s Oscars telecast did tell us that the musical is back, so maybe we should be making bets on what classic songfest gets reworked next (I’m putting money on West Side Story). This isn’t even the first musical remake we’ll be seeing in the next few years. New films of My Fair Lady,

"When it was announced that David Wain would be directing Role Models — taking over from The Girl Next Door’s Luke Greenfield — there was room for disappointment. After all, for Wain to follow up his anarchic cult favorites Wet Hot American Summer and The Ten with a seemingly mainstream man-child comedy — one more suited to the talents of Todd Phillips or, well, Greenfield — was to crush his fans’ hopes for something more along the lines of his wacky web series, such as Wainy Days and Stella, or the old MTV sketch comedy show, The State. But Role Mo "

"Pygmalion it is not but undoubtedly the similarities are wonderfully delivered to the audience. A wonderful adaptation of Pygmalion in musical form though the original with Leslie Howard & Wendy Hiller was known to be Bernard Shaws favorite. Audrey Hepburn as always comes out vivacious and appealing as Eliza and Rex Harrison is impeccable as Professor Higgins. The movie is long but you never feel the length as it moves. The songs are legendary and who can forget The Rain in Spain or All I want is a Room Somewhere. The ending probably as the audience wanted it is now folklore-"Eliza where the Devil are my Slippers?" but would evoke angry reactions from the feminist organisations of today. A movie for the entire family to watch over and over again. Krishna Kumar Menon Chennai(Madras), India "

"You Don’t Mess with the Zohan opens today, and it’s apparently a terrible waste. Boy, do I miss the days when Adam Sandler played stupid and immature rather than skilled and pretending to be gay. At least then it seemed okay that he was possibly making everyone in the room dumber just for having watched his movie. I guess it’s fair that with everyone else doing man-boy comedy these days Sandler is trying to do something with a hint of a political message, but personally I liked it better when he was the least mannish, most boyish man-boy to hit the screen since Jerry Lewis. Making shampoo and conditioner fight? Comedic genius, in my opinion. Making a modern day Shampoo? Not genius at all. Looking back at Billy Madison, possibly his least mature but most consistently hilarious feature, it now seems as though Sandler has gone through a

"You know the story, and you know the songs. If you somehow managed to avoid watching this film all your life, you've managed to avoid seeing one of the most enjoyable musicals ever produced. Audrey Hepburn is, as always, stunning to behold and Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins is a puffed up, reptilian, annoying codger who begins to melt for Audrey's Eliza Doolittle - and who wouldn't, really? My biggest grudge against this film is Rex Harrison robbing Anthony Quinn of the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Zorba the Greek (I think Quinn should have picked up that award, personally), and a smaller grudge is being denied the pleasure of hearing Audrey's singing voice (the producers decided to have her singing parts overdubbed by actress Marni Nixon at the last minute, much to Audrey's dismay). Other than that, this is a film that I'm sure will endure many more decades thanks to the wonderful songs of Lerner & Loewe and the pastel cinematography of Harry ... "
