Willow ,'First Date'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The original has aged badly, but there's an actual good movie in there behind all the "Paganism = nekkid Brit Eckland, yay!" stuff.
The remake is mainly about how Neil LaBute is terrified of women. He demonstrates this by having Nic Cage run around and shout at them. It is hilarious.
It seems like this will go down like Titanic did.
The movie, not the boat, I'm assuming.
some people seemed to enjoy it on a Crank-like level
I can barely believe I enjoyed Crank on a Crank -like level. I'm not sure another movie can approach that without Jason Statham on crack. He has a magic. I still need to see Crank 2, though.

Plus Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee were both really good in it.

You saw what I did there.
The movie breaks in half before sinking, with one half staying afloat a little longer than the other!

I know that John Goodman fights a ninja. And there's a snake-apult. And Vikings.
John Goodman fights a ninja
Dude. That's like Newhart flipping out like a mammal in The Librarian. Which I haven't seen, but wouldn't mind catching.
And Vikings are always good.

Vikings?? Damn.
Don't be a viking!

I actually enjoyed the hell out of Speed Racer. But I saw it in Imax, so that might just have been the visual overload talking.
