Watch out fro Mrs. Vorhees. Sure she cooks a mean sloppy joe, but she won't let anyone go swimming.

Good sci-fi is hard to find.
I,ve mentioned a couple of my favorites before: Moon an Man From Earth. Another Earth has made my list. It is an extreme slow burn. It's really a drama set to the backdrop of sci- fi. Another strong point for me is that it doesn't answer all your questions.
Take my advice. See this movie.

Seems that I can only see Vent when I'm away from my home network.
Had to hit my neighbors wifi to post this.
Are you not really supposed to connect via soupcan?

New posthumous Joey Ramone album.
It's full of demos and unreleased stuff.

I like hearing Joey again, but this album feels overproduced. It's just too clean.
Most of the music has been re-recorded. I would rather hear the raw cuts from the studio with just Joey.

My favorite song on the album is Make me tremble. It is a happy silly song that isn't too slick.
Waiting For That Railroad and although it's my favorite, it grates on my nerves. The problem is Joey harmonizing with Joey as a counterpoint. Anyone who likes the Ramones knows that Joey didn't have the greatest voice. This song would have been better served with the solo front track.

The final track, Life's a Gas handles the harmony much better, because Joey sings the harmony on top of the melody instead of counterpoint. The subject matter is bittersweet considering that this album is posthumous.

Final thoughts:
This album is overproduced.
This album is not the best of Joey Ramone.
This album is still better than most of the crap playing on the radio today.

It wasn't as bad as I feared. I enjoyed it.

Bad things firstI (I'll limit it to just a few things)
The Reverend- I love both actors, but Dennis Quaid couldn't compare to John Lithgow in this role. Lithgow felt fragile while Quaid was merely flustered.

Ariel and her boyfriend- There is no reason for Ariel to be dating the dude in the 2011 version. In the original, she at least thought he was a nicer guy than he was. In the remake, one of the first scenes is of Chuck manipulating her to have sex with him. Her character goes along with it and is less likeable because of it.

Ariel's mom- In the original, you never doubt her loyalty to her husband, even if he has gone too far. Dianne Wiest was the exact opposite of Lithgow. Where his character was sturdy on the outside, he was lost and scared on the inside. Her portrayal was meek and mild on the outside, but she had a solid core. In the remake, Andie McDowell's portrayal of the character was at one point, openly antagonistic toward her husband. I think they were going for a tough love kind of thing.

The left out one of my favorite moments. The one where the reverend and his wife go sneak a peek at the dance.

The good:
The opening. It used the original Footloose set to shoes dancing, then closed with the car crash. I knew it was coming, but it still hooked me.
The music was the original songs, updated. They were familiar, but original enough to enjoy.
Willard- the kid that played willard was nearly as good as Chris Penn.
Costumes- nearly identical to the original. made me smile when I saw the red boots.

Improvements- A scene where the reverend mistakes Ren in the shadows for his dead son. Ren tells him that he still hears his mom in grocery stores. In this little moment they share something other that love of Ariel. It was sweet.

Overall, I liked it. Worth seeing once. Still not as good as the original though.
