So, Denzel Washington is starring in a remake of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) for director Tony Scott, with a new screenplay by David Koepp. Now, Washington and Koepp are very talented and Scott can get a movie made, but among movies in no need of remaking, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three ranks high on the list. So this week's DVD Tuesday is dedicated to the original, in all its grimy glory.How do you steal a New York City subway train? Former movie publicist Morton Freedgood figured out a way, and his 1973 novel, written under the pseudonym "John Godey," was snapped up before publication and immediately put into production under director Joseph Sargent and screenwriter Peter Stone. Needless to say, city officials and representatives of the Metropolitan Transit Authority weren't wild about the story of four identically dressed hijackers, hiding behind color-coded nicknames (what's betting this is where Quentin Tarantino, connoisseur of all things down and dirty, got... read more

Pirates, He-Man Returns , Kill Bill and More | Ask FlickChick | 6/6/2007
Questions about Pirates, the He-Man movie and what became of that extended DVD of Kill Bill.Send your movie questions to FlickChick.See Maitland McDonagh and Ken Fox review this week's new flicks in Movie Talk!Question: Is this the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie or are they going to make a fourth? -- RussellFlickChick: I'd say the odds are good that there will be a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film, but it's not a sure thing. Assuming that you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End – and why would you be asking otherwise? – you know it sets up the possibility that Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and who knows who else will embark on a quest for the fountain of youth. Involved parties have alluded vaguely to various possibilities in promotional interviews for World's End.Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Australia's Herald Sun that "This is the end [of the current trilogy], but whether one of the characters or a couple of the characters continue on, it's... read more
