the most compelling part of Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers"? the actual wartime photos of Iwo Jima, shown in the closing credits.

the idea of producing "Flags of Our Fathers" (2006) and "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2007) as bookends showed more potential than prowess.

intermingling Raymond Chandler with post-war Berlin, Steven Soderbergh's "The Good German" (2006) is a sooty bookend to "Casalbanca" (1942).

reiterating our Mafia mythos, the "Donnie Brasco" chronicle is stretched over too many years to get made "a friend of ours". (1997)

trying to decide whether Vera Farmiga's textured portrayal of Alex is the reflective anima or animus of "Up In The Air" (2009).

like color footage desaturated to black and white, "The Man Who Wasn't There" (2001) tastes of tacit laughter steeped in consommé noir.

any film good enough to inspire a remake should probably just be enjoyed in the original.
