Well, I enjoyed The Island, but I tend not to go on about artistic merits as long as I enjoyed myself.
I think Hannibal would have been a much better movie with Jodie Foster in it, but I thought Julianne Moore did a decent job imitating her. I think it would be hard for Jodie to follow up on an Oscar winning performance in Silence of the Lambs.
And I love The Fog, which originally was rated "R" even though there was no nudity and very little actual gore. In fact, I think by today's movie standards, the movie would have garnered a "PG-13" rating. So maybe the remake having that rating wouldn't be so bad. The previews looked pretty good and I expect they'll add more special effects that weren't available back in the original.. although they still send chills up my spine when I watch it :)
