Side By Side: John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN vs. Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN

      

Welcome to another edition of Side By Side where we dissect the differences and similarities between a film and its remake/reboot.  This week we will be comparing John Carpenter's original horror classic, Halloween, with the Rob Zombie remake.

Side By Side: Two Action Sequels

Today is going to be a slightly different version of Side By Side; where I take a look at two action films that are in theaters today. One of these is great and the other is better. One of these films is a big budget blockbuster that's kicking ass at the box office. The other, only cost 4.5 million to make and made about half it's budget back, so far. In one, they speak Indonesian. In the other they speak AMERICAN! Have you figured out the two films I'm painfully hinting at? Yeah, I'm talking about Captain America: Winter Soldier and The Raid 2: Berandal. 

Side by Side: Burton Vs. Nolan

Welcome to our new series Side by Side where we dissect the differences between the original and the reboot or remake. This is our first installment, and it's about Batman.

In my lifetime, seven live action Batman movies have hit theaters nationwide. Five of them really captured my imagination and the feel of the comics. Two of them had Bane, Catwoman, and the Joker. Three of these films had Dr. Jonathan Crane aka the Scarecrow. The five Batman films that really captured my imagination and somewhat captured Batman properly are Tim Burton's two Batman films and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy.
