Both the original and the US remake of Insomnia were glorious.Cannonpointer » 03 Feb 2025, 10:03 pm » wrote: ↑ I've found US remakes to be pretty solid. Insomnia (Originally Norwegian) was quite well done. As was The Departed (Japanese). The Magnificent Seven was a remake of a Kurosawa film - The Seven Samurai. It was less true to the original than the other two I mentioned, but a fine film still.
The thing about American remakes of foreign films is that the originals are invariably quite stellar, and the remakes spare no expense in talent or production costs.
The casting of Robin Williams was genius.
One vampire movie that the Iranian/American girl writer/director has
not allowed to be redone is....A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.
....picture black and white with all the Muzzie garb...
a Muzzie girl on a skateboard is the perfect picture of an evil bat. Bro - great movie.
