I am very skeptical about remakes, and since the original The Parent Trap was one of my all time favorite family films, when I saw the remake arriving on the scene in 1998, I was concerned, big time. Happily, though, I found the remake to be delightful. It’s …

Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …

You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …
