New Deathwish movie

[raxar]

Sheer stupidity is what you want from a deathwish movie.

Didn't know they did a remake of Mechanic...that would be tough to beat.

How about "The Evil Men Do"? Ever remade?

....not that I'm aware of but I wouldn't mind a remake of Hard Times.

The world needs more Paul Kerseys.......many more.

I just watched the biography of Charles Bronson. He made 14 movies with his wife Jill Ireland. He began his working career as a coal miner but he developed claustrophobia and had to find another way of making a living. Remakes are rarely as good as the originals.

That's ironic, seeing how CB was the one digging the tunnel in The Great Escape, and developed claustrophobia in the movie as well.

CB was perfect in the original death wish, and although I haven't seen the new one, I'm burned out on new movies with no originality. Every movie these days is a remake, a story from a book, a comic book, a remake of a comic book movie, etc. It's pretty rare when a rehashed movie comes out and I enjoy it enough to watch it more than once.

I went and saw it only because I had a gift card. It was....passable, shall we say. I'm glad I didn't pay for it although it did give me something to do on an otherwise boring Saturday night. But if you're hoping to see the equivalent of Bronson shooting The Giggler in the back with a Wildey, you'll be disappointed.

I liked the CB movies but am not interested in going to see a BW movie. For one, I doubt that it could compare to the older ones and for two, I know some people who have had to deal with BW and they report that he is a royal asshole.

Speaking of remakes. Is the Rock's "Skyscraper" a remake of Willis' "Die Hard"? Seems like.

I haven't had a fudge dipped vanilla ice cream bar in probably 20 years.

I don't know about his conduct on the set. However he did make some pro second amendment comments in the past.

In my opinion death wish 3 is when the death wish Sequels jumped the shark.
