EW: Remake Article

Nearly half a dozen remakes have been released since the beginning of the year, and EW has an article about the upcoming ones including The Longest Yard, The Manchurian Candidate, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Pink Panter and To Catch a Thief. Also in the article is their list of the best and worst remakes.

The Best:
1. Ocean's Eleven (2001) A hellzapoppin' cast turned the Rat Pack's so-so 1960 caper into a glitzy love letter to Vegas.
2. Dawn of the Dead (2004) Bloody, hysterical and scary as hell. How remakes oughta be.
3. The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) Made us forget Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway's steamy 1968 chess game.
4. Cape Fear (1991) Robert De Niro chewed the swampy scenery in Martin Scorsese's twisted take on the 1962 classic.
5. The Wiz (1978) Props for taking a risk and plunging Diana Ross' Doroty into a big-city ghetto....

The Worst:
1. The Wiz (1978)...but for most, thsi dreary take mars memories of the original.
2. Sabrina (1995) and The Truth About Charlie (2002) Dear Julia Ormond and Thandie Newton: Never try to channel our beloved Audrey Hepburn again. Love, EW.
3. Psycho (1998) Left anybody who saw it asking, WHY????
4. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) Like a WB show gone horribly awry.
5. Gloria (1999) Another nail in Sharon Stone's career coffin!

Sidenote: Isn't John Carpenter's The Thing suppose to be one of the best???
