Re-imagined on the Silver Screen

There is nothing I romanticize more- other than music- than films. The following is a make shift list of my top picks for films, not in any particular order

1) Rebel Without a Cause- Live fast, die young with James Dean. Classic.

2) Dear Wendy- Indie film about Dandies, guns and a fabulous Zombies soundtrack

3) The Doors- Bio pic about Jim Morrison.

4) The Bride of Frankenstein- One of my favorite horror/sci-fi films.

5) Almost Famous- The coming of age story of

a rock journalist. Based loosely on the life of Cameron Crowe.

6)East of Eden- Another James Dean classic. Epic Story.

7) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- the Hunter S. Thompson epic come to life courtesy of Johnny Depp.

8) Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory- The childhood classic with a sinister Gene Wilder.

9) The Wristcutters: A Love Story- A love/suicide story that ends the opposite of Romeo and Juliet.

10) The Beach- The one movie where Leonardo DiCaprio is not annoying. It's a savage film about true human nature.

11)Chitty Chitty Bang Bang- Disney Classic next to Marry Poppins. It turned me on to Dick Van Dyke.

12) Blow- Johnny Depp as legendary drug dealer George Jung.

13) Four Brothers- Mark Wahlberg is bad ass and makes us forget Marky Mark while protecting his brothers.

14)Lords of Dogtown- Semi historical film of the upstart of skateboarding.

15)Factory Girl- Bio pic of Edie Sedgwick's life. Very Warhol.

16)I'm Not Here- Bio pic of Bob Dylan's life told by 7 personalities.

17)A Clockwork Orange- A Stanley Kubrick classic.

18)Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2- Quintin Tarantino duo films with Uma Thurman as an assasin and Lucy Lu kicking butt.

19)Singing in the Rain- Best musical of all time.

20)The Graduate- Dustin Hoffman's first film. Mrs. Robinson is so naughty.

21)I Love You Man- One of the most genuine comedies, filled with bromance.

22)Across the Universe- The Beatles soundtrack re-imagined, visually stunning, it's the ultimate trip.

23)Fight Club- Brad Pitt looking buff, Edward Norton taking your mind on a trip.

24)Metropolis- One of the first science fiction films ever made. Fritz Lang imagines female robots taking over society.

25)The Virgin Diaries- a Kirsten Dunst classic. It's about suicide hint.

26)There Will Be Blood- The thirst for blood and oil. Outstanding film of the 2000's.

27)C.R.A.Z.Y.- Indie flick about a boy coming of age to the soundtrack of Bowie and Patsy Cline.

Damn, Disney...

Dear Disney,

We all know I am a slave to those black mouse ears, but doing a remake/sequel of Tron is even questionable to me.

I think Tron should be left alone. Every movie they attempt to remake lately ends in disaster. Especially when it will be this costly (reported costs are estimated at $150 million).

However, Disney's choice for Sam Flynn I completely agree with. According to sources Sam Flynn is to be played by Garrett Hedlund (from Four Brothers and Georgia Rule). I don't mind watching that hot piece on the screen while the revamped Tron crashes and burns.
