The Three Rules of a Remake.

 
Picture
​Recently, we have been doing some thinking about remakes. Mulan is of course a go-to in the current times, but reboots in general really.
 
A lot of remakes can be made prematurely, or perhaps be long overdue, but even sometimes they can be made out of nowhere, and never really needed. So, with that in mind, we wanted to write down our own “rules of a remake”…

Acquire, hire or fire? (Emma Stone)

 
Picture
By Adam Ray Palmer
 
The golden oldie feature continues on Cineroom! Yes, it’s the revisit of the classic ‘Acquire, Hire of Fire’ feature – but this time with me!
 
How does it work I hear you ask? Well, if you Acquire a film, it means you love it. If you ‘Hire’ a film, it makes you like and would rent again; and of course, if you ‘Fire’ a film, you probably hate it.
 
I decided to choose the topic this time, so here is the ‘Emma Stone’ edition…

Dear cinema: where does our money go?

 
Picture
This day and age, there’s a lot to consider when spending a hard-earned tenner. Maybe three meal deals? Maybe some cigarettes? Or perhaps a crafty cinema ticket?
 
Sometimes it’s hard to justify a standard cinema trip for a whole family at forty-odd pounds when you can get a brand-new, replay-able DVD for a quarter of that. So, in a nutshell, when we spend our cash at the cinema, where does our money go?

Scenes & their soundtracks: Episode #3

 
Picture
​​Sometimes, films just stick with you. A lot of the time it’s a specific plot, or a cast member, or even a killer scene that is simply mesmerising.
 
This feature is inspired by those majestic scenes, but with more of a focus on soundtrack that gives the movie its finishing touch. This is the second episode in this music feature, and there’s another focus on a particular genre…

Ever-evolving cinema: DVDs in decline.

 
Picture
By Adam Ray Palmer
 
In this series, I take a look at different forms of media that will either rival cinema, put cinema at risk or even decline itself because of cinema. Last time out, we looked at YouTube, this feature is on DVDs.
 
DVDs are an interesting topic nowadays, with the decline in sales mainly – but also how the collection of them has become an expensive hobby as streaming is now a cheaper alternative, but I’ll get to that. Let’s start with some facts…
