Edward Woodword is pure class while Nic Cage is pure something else.Anyway for English language films nothing tops the Brits for being able to create an underlying but undefinable sense of dread.
Ok maybe hillbillies /southern gothic hence probably the relocation of Straw Dogs from Cornwall to Mississippi.
As for Lost in Space and Starsky and Hutch I totally agree.Lost in Space was just ridiculous and turning Starsky and Hutch into a comedy was just a bad idea which the casting only made worse(see Green Hornet).
I didn't hate Miami Vice even though it basically missed the entire point . There were still some nice bits though like the scene with Gina facing down the Aryan which is an obvious homage to Don Johnston's "Maybe you won't even twitch". That and Edward James Olmos' Lt Castillo was sorely missed but then again Phillip Michael Thomas not so much.
Btw PMT gave one of the most regrettable quotes ever when flush with the initial success of the old series he bragged how he was going to win an Emmy ,Grammy ,Oscar,Tony ( the laughable EGOT) in the next few years.![]()
