Movies Out Now

Does anybody know why the remade “The Day the Earth Stood Still”?  I believe the origiinal movie was far better and to this day has a cult following.  Other Movies Out today are Doubt (Meryl Streep is a goddes of an actor!), Grand Torino (Gitem Dirty Harry – Great Flick, Great sound score!).  The Reader (Post-WWII Germany:  Enjoyed this Drama).  Enjoy the weekend and Wach some Movies Out now!
