FilmWeek for August 14, 2009

On Filmweek, Larry Mantle and critics Henry Sheehan of henrysheehan.com, Lael Loewenstein of Variety and Charles Solomon of amazon.com discuss the week’s new releases including District 9, The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Ponyo, The Time Traveler’s Wife, Spread, Bandslam, It Might Get Loud, Flame&Citron, and Grace, among others.

They also discuss which films should NOT be re-made. Steven Spielberg announced he will be re-making the classic Jimmy Stewart film, “Harvey.” WHAT? WHY? Larry asks our KPCC film critics and listeners, “What films are fine just the way they are and should NEVER be re-made?”
