A new 'Friday'
No, Chris Tucker and Ice Cube aren't reuniting on their South Central front stoop. There's a "Friday the 13th" remake afoot (hat tip: Cinematical). This is the kind of remake I don't mind. Leave the classics alone. But mediocre fare like "Friday the 13th?" Have at it.
A good early sign is that director Marcus Nispel will be behind the camera. He gave us the surprisingly strong "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake from 2003. Yes, nearly every critic in the country hated that one, but I didn't -- it was a well-executed modern horror tale with a feisty and beyond gorgeous lead, Jessica Biel. It couldn't compare to the original, but what could?

Aren't the 9 sequels sort of remakes already?
Yes, indeed. And not a one of them was any good.
But I've given up the good fight against needless remakes. I'm in acceptance/damage control mode now ...
