Q. Although there are rare times when a remake is justified, such as when the world has greatly changed and it would be relevant to see how such events would affect precise film characters, I'm greatly annoyed at Hollywood's lack of creativity. Pokemon glazed no download. Download harry potter deathly hallows part 2 in hindi 480p. If I see one more film version of a '60s or '70s TV show (now we have 'Get Smart' to deal with), I'm going to puke. Richard Voza, Mickleton, N.J.A.
You may have to lay in a supply of sick bags. With its $38 million opening weekend, 'Get Smart'' looks like the launch of a franchise. And it will justify the filming of still more old TV retreads, although the bottom of the barrel must be approaching. All hail to Kevin Costner, who refuses to do sequels. However, how much work has that cost him, compared to Harrison Ford; their career paths have crossed many times, but Ford is notably receptive to sequels.
Q.I understand your review of 'The Happening' as a study of the reaction to an unknown threat by the masses. However, I left the theater feeling sick after all of the graphic, depraved suicides. Please comment on the value of the continuous death scenes and why you chose not to acknowledge that M. Night Shyamalan felt that it was necessary to video a man starting a lawn mower, watching it roll around, lying down in front of it, and then getting gored by the mower when the audience knew full well what the man intended to do.Jed Nolan, Morgantown, W. VAA.
You could argue that at the point when he did that, the man was no longer himself but had lost his sense of reason. That could be symbolic of the planetary suicide that the movie says we are currently committing.
Q. In your review of 'The Love Guru,' you once again credit Mike Myers with creating peek-a-boo prop placement in the 'Austin Powers' films. I think it's past time that we all acknowledge, as Myers himself has, that he stole the whole idea from the late, great Benny Hill, whose television shows he saw growing up in Canada, years before they were shown in the USA. I'll note here that Hill never overdid it to the degree that Myers does. Mike Doran, Oak LawnA.
Credit given. I think 'prop placement' is an excellent term for the technique you refer to, which involves using props on the screen to conceal a moving object, such as Austin Powers' whatchamacallit.
Q. You know the action sequence involving the freefall without a parachute where one person catches up to another? The first time I saw it was in 'Moonraker,' and many times since, including 'Point Break,' 'Shoot 'em up' and 'Crank.' But is it accurate that when freefalling, you can change the velocity to which you are approaching the earththat dramatically, that by closing your arms and legs together, you could catch up to someone flailing their arms and legs?Tor Ramsey, Shelby, N.C.A.
For an answer, I turned to computer columnist Andy Ihnatko of Boston, who somehow always knows about stuff like this. He replies: 'Yes, it is absolutely true. The short answer is to think about how fast a skydiver falls before and after the chute deploys. Same man, same parachute; after he pulls the ripcord, he's exposing more surface area to the onrushing air. Simple. Or you can take a look at a YouTube video, which you can find by searching for 'indoor skydive.' It shows a static skydive attraction where a huge turbofan in the floor blows upward at the same force as you'd encounter after jumping from a plane. The person in 'freefall' position perpendicular to the oncoming air is hovering four feet above the floor. The person who's presenting the lowest profile can stand in place like nothing unusual is going on.'
Q. I have been an Indy fan for as long as I can remember; I grew up on the movies. I thought 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' was a fantastic movie, and I sat through the movie with the biggest grin on my face. And it wasn't just because the movie itself was great. As I was watching, I noticed that the same sound effects were used from the other three movies for the punches in the fights. Also, the same ambient jungle sounds from 'Raiders' were used. Hearing these sounds put together with different pictures and sequences made the movie truly special for me. Did you pick up on this re-use as you were watching the film? And if so, did it have a similar effect on you? Jonathan Furr, Concord, N.C.A.
Sound effects experts often recycle existing sounds from other movies. At rogerebert.com, look up 'The Wilhelm Scream' in the Answer Man archive for another example of sounds that live on long after they were first used. First used in 1951, the Scream is still being employed today.
Q. In your review of the spy spoof 'Johnny English,' you said, 'Can we all pretty much agree that the spy genre has been spoofed to death?' I noticed that you gave 'Get Smart'' -- a spy spoof, which, based on the trailer and outside reviewers, seems pretty mediocre -- a whopping 3.5 stars. What do you feel sets 'Get Smart'' ahead of films like 'Johnny English,' since both seem so heavily reliant on slapstick and silliness?Adam Fangman, Omaha, Neb.A.

3. Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)
Letters from Iwo Jima is the highest movie on this list that Clint doesn't star in. It tells the story of The Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of the Japanese soldiers - and is far superior to Flags of Our Fathers, Clint's other World War Two movie released a couple of months earlier. It's spoken almost entirely in Japanese. Ken Watanabe stars as Tadamichi Kuribayashi - a General who didn't believe any of the Propaganda that was coming from his country's leaders. The movie asserts that ,while the Japanese leaders were indeed 'the bad guys', the soldiers and the civilians were most certainly not. Obviously some, perhaps most characters did believe the Propaganda - they truly did believe that the Americans attacking them were sub-human and that they deserved no kind of sympathy or mercy. The main criticism of this film by some is that 'Only those Japanese characters that had known Americans before the war show mercy.' That's true. The thing is, these people seem to think that the message is 'If you talk to Americans enough you'll eventually become more civilised,' - I see it very differently. Of course Propaganda is going to have a different effect on people who have never left Japan and never seen an American compared to somebody who knows exactly what they're like and therefore will instantly know that the Propaganda is false. Think of how many Americans probably watch movies showing the other side of the conflict believing that the Japanese soldiers were savages. Would an American who has met Japanese veterans of the war be as likely to think that? Of course not. Ken Watanabe's portrayal of Kuribayashi is intelligent, courageous, inspiring and ultimately heart-breaking. His final scene, involving an American pistol he received as a gift, is almost beautiful in its tragedy. Ken Watanabe easily stands out as the best actor in this movie (with a performance like that he would be the best actor in the overwhelming majority of movies) but the supporting cast is also very good. The characters are well-written and three-dimensional, the dialogue is good and the pacing is just right. It's a war movie with a surprisingly small amount of action; but the acting, characters and story are so good that it simply does not matter. If anything, adding more action would be a fine way to ruin what is a near-perfect movie.Iwo Jima Movies List
