New films wanted

Film bosses are turning to old favourites for ideas to reduce risks in the recession.

This year films such as: The Karate Kid, Robocop, Highlander and The Never Ending Story, are to be remade.

I think original films are often the best though, and remakes inferior.

For example the remade The Italian Job hardly compared with the 1960s classic of the same name, which starred Sir Michael Caine.

What about the remake of Psycho? You don't see that in lists of classic films do you?

Critics have said film studio bosses are running out of ideas, however they have defended the decision pointing out good movies are good stories and can be told over and over again.

One film I would like to see though is the planned new film version of Graham Greene's Brighton Rock.

Meanwhile, I didn't think Kenny Perry was going to win The Masters, he came very close though.

For me the most exciting part of the event was the charges made by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. You could almost feel the electricity coming of that group.

Angel Cabrera was a worthy winner though.
