  1. "Footloose" and the Myth of the Necessary Remake

    <span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A little over a month after the October 14 release of Footloose, consensus has settled in: Craig Brewer&rsquo;s remake doesn&rsquo;t cut it.

Otherwise, the acting of the other two leads, the unimpressive dancing, and especially that the movie is &ldquo;unnecessary&rdquo; have been singled out as disappointments. I would like to take critics to task on this final point.</span>
