What’s worse than a studio now planning to remake The Wizard of Oz? Another studio is also planning to remake another Wizard of Oz.Could the asteroid kindly plow into the Earth now, please?
Actually, hold that thought, because there are still great, classic, originals being made. And The Town is one of them.
That Ben Affleck would direct it so well is not surprising, considering he hit a home run in his first attempt with Gone, Baby Gone. It’s all part of the re-education by which we stop thinking of Ben as People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive and realize he is smart and curious. His second movie is not only intriguing as a story but great to look at, with action sequences that’ll make your hands sweat. Ben Affleck is the new Martin Scorsese.
F the remakes. See The Town. This weekend.
