I finally saw Night of the Living Dead, the 30th Anniversary Edition with added footage. It was pretty good, and I'm so glad it ended the way it did, with the very last survivor being shot because he was mistaken for a zombie. I didn't know if the movie would go there, and it did. Rock.

There was some baaaaad acting, though (even in the added footage), and that one guy looked like Rob Corddry. Barbra is like the most annoying character in the history of ever.

I agree that the Addams family movies were amazing. I'm not sure that the Star Trek movies count in relation to the article, as it seems to be concerning itself with long-after remakes, using a different cast. In the same vein, I don't think it counts Serenity or the X-Files movie, since they, too, use the same cast as the show. The examples seem to be a different genre from those.

Night of the Living Dead was a pretty brilliant movie, packaging a strong social message inside a B-movie wrapper. It's theme of lynch mobs and such spoke to me a little more than the attack on crass consumerism in Dawn of the Dead.

Of course, we just watched Shaun of the Dead and I laughed my ass off (not literally, because that would be too easy a diet plan), so please understand I adore the zombie movie.

Very special episode: The movie
I have nightmares about the big screen version of “Blossom.”

Too, too funny. That show is always going to be remembered for having a Very Special Episode every week, isn't it?

While I think the author missed (perhaps purposefully to prove his point) the Addams Family movies as examples of how to do it right, Maverick is the only movie named that I'd really disagree about. And even that is retroactively tainted for me by starring Sexist McCrucifixion.

I saw "Bewitched." Some cute scenes in search of a reason to be strung together. Not the worst 2 hours I've ever spent but had it not been for the "Rent" preview, I would have considered it a wasted evening.

I also saw "Bewitched" and need two hours of my life back now. It's not horrible, but being a Nicole Kidman fan and NOT a Will Ferrell fan...yeah.

Did we know Katie Finneran was in it? Small part, but I did sit up and think, hey!

Maverick is the only movie named that I'd really disagree about.

I would put Maverick in the "not-bad" group, rather than the "not-good" group.

I enjoyed it a lot, actually. Though I only had a passing aquaintance with the James Garner version on TV, so I guess there was less info for comparison.

I liked it too, but I bet JG was funnier...Garner is a funny man. And Matt, I like your nick for Gibson.

I saw Bewitched, The Perfect Man, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Friday. I enjoyed them all, though Mr. and Mrs. Smith was definitely the most tightly edited and charismatic. I don't understand what people have against Bewitched, really. It's pretty inoffensive. And I had a few issues with The Perfect Man, mostly a couple of choices the heroine and her mother make, including one painful watch from the hall thing, but it was otherwise better than I expected.
