Is This Why Tom Cruise Is Acting 'Crazy?'

Bring attention to yourself...bring attention to a remake?

Why in a time of so much dazzling technological innovation, from the iPod to the cellphone camera, were so many gifted filmmakers retreating into the past, devoting their time to remaking old TV shows and movies? Think about it...
  • Herbie: Fully Loaded
  • Bewitched'
  • War of the Worlds
  • Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
  • The Bad News Bears
  • The Dukes of Hazzard
Wall Street Journal critic Joe Morgenstern. "But the studios are frightened by newness. And, more scarily, audiences seem to feel the same way."

Sorry to do this but I also feel the same way about Christian artists remaking each others songs. How many different ways can we really hear 'Over the Mountains and the Seas?"

What ever happened to innovation?


P.S. Mr. Cruise, in regard to your 'Ritalin Rant' on the Today Show...it is unlawful to practice medicine without a license.
