Why The Music Film Is Better Than Ever

Friday, January 24, 2014

With the release of the Coen brothers' latest flick Inside Llewyn Davis I was a little taken back from what I had just seen. While it is quite known how much love Tongue Loose has for the music film, this flick is quite possibly the most genius idea to come from the big screen in a while.

French Movie Adaptations Gone Mal

Thursday, January 16, 2014


Delivery Man was once called Starbuck while still in production. An immediate remake of the original French film Starbuck about a man who donates a shed load of sperm just to find out that 533 children have been born thanks to his donations. Now as he faces a pregnant girlfriend he also has to deal with being sued by his offspring who wish to know his true identity. This which already sounds like a train wreck was for some reason brought to the big screen with stars Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt, and Colbie Smulders.

We’ve drawn up a list of French movies which inspired a remake in the US, and didn’t translate well. Some of their downfalls lie in trying to adapt the films cut by cut, while others try to Americanise some things that are too French to translate. Check out our list and let us know what you think!
