We'll rewatch films together that I loved at her age and when we talk about them later, sometimes it's like we've both seen completely different movies. It can be sweet, but oddly displacing too.<br />Good work with your goals!Vicki Keirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444507875266353266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-32815127363036669092011-10-24T14:02:21.262-04:002011-10-24T14:02:21.262-04:00Thanks, Annalise.

I was prepared to be skeptical, too, but seeing my daughter love it was all I needed to let my guard down.<br /><br />Julie, great movie suggestions. You make a good point... better to remake the "less stellar" movies or ones who need updated graphics than to tackle my all-time favorites like Sixteen Candles.<br /><br />Thanks for the support!Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-54735200134158099112011-10-24T07:53:05.386-04:002011-10-24T07:53:05.386-04:00That's interesting how perspective changes. I ...That's interesting how perspective changes. I recently rewatched My Brilliant Career. I remembered loving the main character's intensity and ambition when I saw it in high school. This time around, she seemed a bit selfish to me - not caring about the impact on family and friends.<br /><br />For a good remake from my teen years, maybe Gremlins, The Last Starfighter, or Poltergeist. The newer special effects might be good with those movies. Plus, I liked them, but didn't love them so much that a remake would feel like cheating.Julie Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750682989494250914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-80481215587380963922011-10-23T20:50:35.427-04:002011-10-23T20:50:35.427-04:00Congratulations on doing great on your goals!

Since Footloose is one of my favorite movies, I was prepared to be skeptical, but it sounds like something I would enjoy.Annalise Greenhttp://annalisegreen.comnoreply@blogger.com
