I'm surprised that reviews haven't been better for the re-imagined version of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. It is, by all rights, a superior film to the original from the 70s. Moon may not be as funny as Solo, but it does cover similar territory. How can you not love Sam Rockwell? There will be no hot dogs served at the screening of Food, Inc.! Repeat -- no hotdogs! Has Eddie Murphy really come to this? Imagine That looks awful, awful, awful. Francis Ford Coppola is finally a true independent filmmaker. Tetro proves yet again, though, that he probably could use some pressure from above. Seriously, some people need studio interference to thrive.

Kenneth Turan's review on KCRW this morning was complimentary. He said the original was very "New Yorkish" but didn't bother addressing the problems the subway had back in the 1970s. He said this one is good and does what an action movie is supposed to do - distract you from it's flaws and engage you. That still doesn't mean I want to see it.
Eddie Murphy jumped the shark YEARS ago.
ha, nice snickers vignette!
"It is, by all rights, a superior film to the original from the 70s." You are out of you flippin' MIND! Travolta sank this like a stone.

You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
