I got the 5'7 for Martin Freeman from IMDB. So, related grain of salt.
eta: celebheights.com says 5'6.5

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Is Frogs (1972) worth watching?
That depends. Are you a bitter enemy of Ray Milland's who would be cheered by watching the depths to which he was forced to sink later in his career?

Is it better or worse than the film where he was a two-headed monster with Rosy Grier?

Colin Farrell is frontrunner for Total Recall remake lead. I hate just about all of Arnie's work (outside of the Terminator franchise), so I'm thrilled at the idea of Tom Hardy or Colin Farrell having a go at it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
But the ending of the movie was so bad. How can that be redeemed?

It's a classic! It's untouchable!
No, those aren't my actual opinions. It's so not a movie I'd bitch about remaking.

I hope this time they don't have people's faces ballooning from exposure to low Martian air pressure and then go back to normal when an oxygen volcano explodes.

Correct me if I'm misremembering a film I haven't seen in some two decades, but wasn't the point of all that ridiculousness to underscore that all of this was taking place in the Governor's head?

I think the craziness happened AFTER he realized certain things were taking place in his head, but I don't recall. (no pun intended)
