The 1991 movie *Point Break*, one of the best crime-thrillers of its time, combining crime, loyalty, friendship and a deep passion for freedom, is one of the most unforgettable movies of my time. source But today's topic is not that movie, but the remake of Point Break, which will remind you of that movie with many scenes and its original title. I'm not against remakes of well-made and memorable original stories ada…More

I put off watching this one because I don't like the way that Hollywood is tarnishing the career of the late Patrick Swayze by remaking all of his classic and iconic roles. However, this could be one of those films that I believe could be worthy of a remake because our technology is so much better now than it was in 1991 when the original was made. I was happy about a few things in the film such as the advancement o…More

Whenever someone mentions "women directors", first association among more experienced filmgoer is some low-budget family drama or ambitious project burdened with feminist issues. Kathryn Bigelow is one of women directors best known for avoiding such stereotypes. Her opus is almost exclusively in the domain usually associated with her male colleagues, including her former husband James Cameron - action films. Actuall…More
-via IMDb.com In general, I try to tell myself that reboots and remakes are, for the most part, nothing to be afraid of. They are going to happen because Hollywood is show business and the business of making movies goes through phases of repetition and familiarity sells. People forget that John Carpenter's The Thing , for example, is a remake and is a classic. In fairness, the current run of remakes and reboots have…More
No Fear. This was done before a lot of the CGI these days and hence uses surf beaches for the settings for various action scenes. We do have plenty of action scenes, from bank robberies, various chases, and parachuting. The movie came after some of the excesses of the 80's and hence highlights a different lifestyle, one that isn't focused on material things but rather experiences and pushing the limits. Given it was…More
Point Break is one of those epic films that someone was always going to come along and remake. I normally accuse these directors and writers of being lazy and having no imagination but Hollywood will continue to do it because: Money. The original Point Break film made in 1991 stars Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze as well as a bunch of other people (including Anthony Kieidis from Red Hot Chili Peppers.) The acting is…More

About movies that are part of the useless category, in many years by passionate I have seen many, although I often try to avoid them. The pointless film I'm talking about today is Point Break 2015, s…More
