Browsing the shelves of films, trying to establish just how your Saturday evening would look it lacks the frustration of flicking through Netflix’s mediocrity.ĭid you know there are still stores that offer that service? They usually cost between $1 and $3 a rental, there are NO late fees, and if you decide you want to just add the movie to your home collection, you can! They’re called thrift stores and they’re everywhere. With many other casualties of COVID, that store has sadly closed, but it reminded us how fun video rentals can be. My husband and I used to be fortunate enough to still have an active video rental store in our neighborhood.

There are some getaway locations, as we have unintentionally discovered, that although fully equipped with a TV and DVD player, do not have internet nor a DVD collection. I challenge you, go to a family-oriented Airbnb with a collection of movies available andI would be surprised if they don’t have: Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Fast and the Furious, Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Departed, or Fight Club. Like pouring through the CD stacks at a used record store, there is a definitive era exhibited in these libraries, usually films spanning from around 1998 through 2010.

One common thread we have found amongst the less “curated” destinations has been the eclectic DVD selection. They allow us to get away and scratch that travel itch, yet still be responsible by social distancing. I can't think of a person that I dislike in the genre more than Roth, and that includes Herr Doktor Uwe Boll.Throughout the pandemic, my fiancé (now husband) and I have taken a number of trips to rural Airbnb locations. Such lunacy, especially when you consider that Roth, like you said, changed nothing but take out the goofiness of it. This one comes in at 14 years, which is really short. Out of curiosity, anyone have thoughts on what the shortest time is between an original and remake? Excluding foreign films remade in the US, of course. In other words, we all needed this creatively bankrupt copy job about as much as a flesh-eating virus." And the uninitiated could just rent the original. Scene for scene, line for line, it’s basically the same goopy horror-comedy, only with Roth’s borderline camp swapped out for a straight-faced grimness. "Remake culture quietly hit rock bottom with this “new” Cabin Fever, whose supreme pointlessness at least poses a radical question: What if they shot a movie for absolutely no one? Faced with the imminent threat that his gross-out debut was going to be remade with or without him, splatter maverick Eli Roth opted to “protect” his vision by dusting off a 14-year-old screenplay and commissioning some slick hack to film it all over again. Here's the AV Club's take on it, which might be an argument to just review the remake, considering the original was pretty successful.and the fact that they're so similar. I think doing a two-part with the 2002 original and this year's remake would make for a good live episode.

The original logged in at 62% and $33.6M. Bumping this one to commemorate the 2016 remake which boasts 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and a box office haul of about $40k.
