Aloha





Please tell me not every major American director will feel the need to decamp to Hawaii for a navel-gazing loll in the hammock.

Passion




I don't spend a lot of time re-reading my old reviews, but I must admit I rather liked my note on 2011's French import "Love Crime": http://www.jordanonfilm.com/2011/09/love-crime-much-more-fun-than-good-movie.html#more .  Now Brian DePalma has remade "Love Crime" as "Passion," and I'm afraid to say all he's achieved is to eliminate (most of) the campy laughs that made the original, as I called it, more fun than a good movie.
