    **POSSIBLE SPOILER (BASED ON THE NOVEL)** The "hero" of the book, Robert Neville, ultimately realizes he cannot survive in the new world. He is the last of his kind. I don't think the new version will go with the ending of the book, but the two previous adaptations did, although both...

    The Criterion Collection put out a nice 2-DVD set. My Own Private Idaho is directed by Gus Van Sant, who also made the notorious Psycho remake (see the Worst Movies thread for more on that).

    I'm curious to check out Rob Zombie's take on Halloween, which opens August 31. The guy is a real genre buff, not just for current horror movies, but also for the classics of the 1930s and 1940s. The remake/re-imagining/homage stars Malcolm McDowall, Tyler Mane (as Michael Myers) and...

    Best Movie Ever!

    Cool! I'd love to see the Marxes on the big screen! Many critics have said you haven't truly seen Lawrence of Arabia until you've seen it on the big screen.

    Shakespeare!

    My Own Private Idaho was quite good. It's fun if you know the plays, and try to find the similarities/parallels. Some of the lines are even taken directly from Shakespeare. Probably River Phoenix's best performance. Keanu Reeves is excellent, too.

    I wouldn't doubt it. The novel is about the last man on earth, holed up in his home all night, while the vampires try to coax him out. By day, he travels throughout the empty town, going from house to house, destroying the sleeping creatures. He's not an action hero or a superman. He's an...

    Yeah. I dunno about this one. I Am Legend is one of my favorite books, and Richard Matheson is one of my favorite writers. There have already been two adaptations of the novel, and neither one got it right, although both films are pretty entertaining. The Last Man on Earth (1964) starring...
