A New Take On An Old Favorite

June 30, 2008

One thing that moviemakers are really good at is doing a remake. It seems like everywhere we look, we’re seeing old, familiar faces given that shine and polish. New action takes on an old comedy, new horror takes on old adventure movies. Then, there are the fairy tales. Here’s what we think about Catocchio, the newest remake to hit HandiLand screens.

While Scratcher never saw the original, I am very well-informed when it comes to old fairy tale movies. Who isn’t? They’re an important part of being a kid, of believing in magic, of dreaming and wishing! That’s what the original movie was like for me.

Now, I don’t usually expect much from remakes – to me, it doesn’t seem like they never touch the original movies. Well, I’m about to shock myself. The remake of Catocchio blew me away! It had sparkle, it had sass and it had a whole lot of special effects that made the story feel brand new.

Not to give away too much of the story, but Catocchio’s transformation, if you know what I mean, was spectacular. I was on the very edge of my seat. While fairy tales have done alright at the box office these last few summers, I’m expecting big things for Catocchio and its very talented, up and coming star: Leonardo DiCattrio. He’s going to have an amazing career, mark my words.

I give this spirited remake, Catocchio: TWO THUMBS UP!

Scratcher Says: This story is like a favorite couch in my living room, I curl up there and never want to leave. Pure magic!

Catbert Says: My childhood all over again – a perfect movie for the whole family. An old story that seems perfect, fresh and new!
