The best of the past ten… (film)
The Daily Helping is proud to present our personal favorites for the past ten years. Now please note that this in no way implies that these are the best artistic efforts for the decade. That’s a bit pretentious. Instead these are personal favorites that speak to a particular taste.
If you’ve taken the time to put [...]

Re-make it.
There are plenty of cynical fans of cinema who complain that “Hollywood” doesn’t have any creativity left and that the same old formulas are being regurgitated and repackaged and the fans will still come.
