Invasion of the Premise Snatchers
Postino:
The new Italian Job had Edward Norton and Donald Sutherland in it and they were both excellent. While I love Michael Caine I am just so sorry but the old Italian Job still sucked. The point is the new Italian Job while not utterly fantastic was decent, while the old one dragged its ass like a two legged dog.

I'm sorry, but even if it had been a good movie otherwise, the presence of Mark Wahlberg and the ridiculously bad Mini Cooper plot twist (I think it could better be called a plot diversion) dragged the new one down to the basement. I haven't even seen the old one, but I'm willing to call it the better movie just on principle.

Retelling stories over and over is something that's been going on since people could talk. There are a thousand books out there with the same fairy tales, all told slightly differently. Remaking movies isn't anything new, either. It can be cool to have the story updated to a more modern setting. A lot of successful movies were remakes, and many people didn't even realize it.
The only time I really have a problem with it is when the newer version is worse than the original, which seems to be happening a lot more lately. Why remake a movie if it's not going to be as good?
