Hollywood executives believe that money is both the be-all and end-all to the moviemaking process.

Movie theaters still exist in spite of all of the alternatives that are available, video and video-on-demand and DVD and streaming video and all of these things.

Everyone is looking for the sure thing. They are looking to hedge their bet. They think the way to do that is to go with a proven quantity, a remake of something you have already seen. That is their mindset.

Television is what made It's a Wonderful Life the classic it is today.

Shailene Woodley is reason enough to see 'The Fault in Our Stars.'

With massive doses of eye-popping special effects I applaud the visual achievements in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.'

Shakespeare wrote great plays that we're still watching all these years later. Charlie Chaplin made great comedies and they are still as funny today as they ever were.
