Thread Name: Wicker Man remake
Subject: RE: Wicker Man remake
I almost watched this...thing...again on TV last night, I guess I was pretty bored. Saw the first five minutes, then better half needed some help getting her e-mail restored...which spared me from reliving the trauma until the last five minutes of the movie, consisting of the burning of Mr Cage (torched by the little girl he didn't save from the flames in the first scene--now I get it, very deep) and Leelee Sobieski picking some hopeless guy up in a bar to further the race.

It occurred to me during "burning Mr Cage" that it was funny to see Leelee Sobieski in the crowd chanting "the drone must burn"--considering her first major role was as Joan of Arc. Better to be in the mob, I could almost hear her thinking. Worked particularly well for her, since I think her main talent is getting good lighting.
