Best/Worst Movie Blogfest & Monster Madness Day 7

Remakes added more for my viewing pleasure

The Best and Worst Movie Remakes Blogfest is today. Hosted by:
Alex J. Cavanaugh 
Stephen Tremp
Father Dragon Al 
Livia Peterson 
  



Remakes – Best
  • Cape Fear
  • Clash of the Titans
  • The Crazies
  • Dawn of the Dead
  • 3:10 to Yuma
  • Let Me In
  • Little Shop of Horrors
  • Oceans Eleven
  
I enjoyed these, don't get me wrong, but they didn't add anything.
My expectations were high and I was disappointed.


Remakes – Worst Should-Have-Left-Well-Enough-Alone
  • Arthur
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
  • Footloose
  • House of Wax
  • Karate Kid
  • The Omen
  • Red Dawn
  • The Wolfman


Best Song Remake: Shinedown version of Simple Man, however, I don't like it any better than the original.
Worst Song Remake: Don't get me wrong, I like Rap and R&B but it really bothers me when an R&B or Rap artist butchers a classic. Instead of splicing bits and pieces of the original... can you just cover the whole dang song?!

Today is the last day for the 2nd Annual May Monster Madness! Hosted by Annie Walls and her blogger buddies, Emma @ Little Gothic Horrors, and Ked @ Something Wicked this Way Comes.

How does May Monster Madness work? Well, it's a blog hop featuring posts about monsters! Anything you can think of as long as it has something to do with monsters... and I'm sad to see it go. :`(

   
This week I featured:
Saturday, May 11 - Urban Legends
Sunday, May 12 - The Descent creatures
Monday, May 13 - Mutants
Tuesday, May 14 - The Creeper

Today my monster post is more on the "haha" side.

Celebrate the Small Things over at VikLit is also here today...

What I'm celebrating this week...
  • My husband won tons of mullah at the slots last Friday night. He had a great birthday!
  • Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne is a great read! I highly recommend it. Book 2 Monument 14 Sky of Fire will be released soon!
  • Started reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

Have a great weekend! Watch a few good remakes, listen to some music, read a book, and keep the monsters at bay!
