Last week I watched on DVD of Madonna's much criticized remake/flop. Well, I am glad that I didn't pay any $$$ to see it (Vulgar Greek spent his money on the DVD), as it was just horrid...she wasn't that good acting as a bitch (surprisingly, right?), and she was just horrid when she has to flip to vulnerable on the island...totally unbelievable at all, and no sympathy for her character whatsoever. The only moment when I stopped my running negative commentary through the whole thing was when he fantasized her doing a number (oh that's right, she's an entertainer, NOT an actress). The real question is when she will give on such attempts at thespianism?
And I saw the original during the winter (oh that's right, it still is winter outside, even though we turned the clocks back), and it was amazing piece of cinema- male vs female, socialist vs capitalist, nature vs civilization, and the dynamic interplays in only the way a 70s Italian film can pull off...
The remake is just high gloss shit.
