   Yup, I'm on board the re-make hate. I understand WHY the trend exists, I   
   just don't like it. Esp when they take classics like The Pink Panther and   
   re-think them as Beyonce Knowles vehicles. *cry*.   
      
   Anywho, despite the glut of crap and nonsense, I've seen some great movies   
   this year ...My Architect, Kitchen Stories, Spring Summer Fall Winter   
   Spring, Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Goodbye Lenin, The Corperation, The   
   Triplets of Belleville, United States of Leland (only ok but Don Cheadle   
   :-)), Story of the Weeping Camel, Supersize Me, Down to the Bone (not for   
   everyone), and, I think I'm forgetting some..   
      
   Unfortunately most of these are foreign or documentaries ..so ladies, get   
   writing!   
      
      
   ps: I haven't seen Ladykillers, which is rare for me. Usually I'm knocking   
   old ladies aside to get to a Coen Bros movie, but this time ..ehh. Am I   
   missing anything?
