Barking Mad About Films, TV, and Books

One man and his dog; both barking mad about films, TV, and books

Poltergeist! Remade without the scares

January 7, 2016 by Bill Leave a Comment

Poltergeist 2015 bluray copy

One of those films that as a youngster in the Eighties that I loved was Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist,  produced by Stephen Spielberg.  Now like almost every other horror film of that period, such as Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead, the film has been remade. From director Gil Kenan, who directed the family friendly CGI hit Monster House. The film has a great cast, in … [Read more...]

Chihuahua with Serenity and firefly DVD's

We recently shared news that Baywatch was heading to the Big Screen following its domination of TV on Saturday nights for many years throughout the Nineties. Baywatch will be following Big Screen reboots of such hits as The A-Team, Starsky and Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard and 21 Jump Street.

Alexandra Daddario tweet screen shot

It was recently announced that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson would be returning to our screens in the film reboot of Baywatch, coming from Seth Gordon, director of Identity Thief and Horrible Bosses. Now at this time, I should confess to have never even seen an episode of the TV show or it’s spin-off Baywatch nights! I’m not sure why, I think initially it used to clash with … [Read more...]

Ghostbusters! We ain’t afraid of no reboot

Chihuahua with toy Staypuft and Ghostbusters DVD

Every day I see a tweet or a post about how it is an absolute disgrace that Ghostbusters is being remade. What most upsets me is this appears to be because the reboot is having an all female Ghostbusting team. I certainly don’t recall this uproar when Bill Murray; Dan Aykroyd; Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson didn't voice the Real Ghostbusters cartoon =) I am a massive fan … [Read more...]
