Robin’s Week #28 Recommendation: Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)
I think it’s funny that I decided to go all sentimental during the “Remake” topic week and now that the topic (“Holiday Movies”) almost demands sentimentality, I have decided to go weird. I suppose this is just further proof that … Continue reading

JDF’s Week #27 Recommendations: Blood Simple (1984) and A Woman, A Gun and a Noodle Shop (2010)
I am, unsurprisingly for a guy writing on a blog about movies, a huge fan of the Coen brothers and pretty much every film they’ve made. A shocking revelation, I know. That said, I was intrigued to discover that Chinese … Continue reading

Robin’s Week #27 Recommendations: Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) and Heaven Can Wait (1976)
This has been the most interesting yet frustrating topic yet devised. I could write a novella about the ups and downs I had researching and choosing my movie, but this is about the movies, not my mental defects. What I … Continue reading
Bobby’s Week #27 Recommendations: Alfie (1966) and (2004)

Week #27: Remakes
