Remake Reviews

These are head-to-head comparisons of movies against their remakes. It's not just about winners and losers, but there will be winners and losers. But more than that, it is about exploring what made the original worth remaking (if anything), how the follow-up treated the source material (if at all), and how each movie stands on its own (if it can). Oh, and there are spoilers here. But admit it, you like that.
