  • the original tv series about 3 beautiful female PIs who spent plenty of time in alluring undercover guises while working for a shadowy boss. the big-screen reinterpretation surpassed the original show in terms of ass-kicking with its trio of winning heroines, drew barrymore, cameron diaz and lucy liu
  • the casting of Robin Williams alone should have lent the production a champion’s glow, but most of his lines are unintelligible and the film ends up a delirious mess. the only good thing is most of the characters from the comic strip is in this movie
  • based on the 1960s TV classic, this Best Picture nominee and box office hit recalls the manhunt for (wrongfully) convicted wife killer Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford).
  • we dug the '80s show about neon-shirt-wearing detectives, crockett and tubbs, kicking ass while phil collins music blasted. but the modern big-screen update starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx is way cooler and just a little bit less cheesy
  • here's a story of a lovely lady ... need i continue?
  • translating the formula of the TV series- gadgets, undercover missions, realistic masks -and a huge studio budget that can blow up entire cities, crash trains and jump from bridges at the same time. add tom cruise and you've got a summer blockbuster!
  • bet some of you didn't know Brian De Palma's '87 mob drama was based on a TV series; it was actually a popular '60s crime serial starring Robert Stack. But what could top Sean Connery (jim malone) and Kevin Costner (eliot ness) as Al Capone (robert de niro) -hunting coppers? Absolutely nothing.
  • we love the animated misadventures of a modern stone-age family and friends but this big screen interpretation is a Yabba Dabba DON'T!
  • in the 1969-72 saturday-morning series, cartoon kids and their talking dog investigated one wacky supernatural phenomenon after the next. Now a live-action foursome, with their dog, investigates wacky supernatural phenomena at an island theme park
  • A macho quintet of L.A.P.D. officers tackled situations too rough-and-tumble for the average beat cop in this 1975-76 drama. Nearly 30 years later, an updated team led by Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell distinguishes itself with even bigger guns, plus a female cohort (Michelle Rodriguez)
  • more of an homage to the classic tv show, gone is any chemistry between Kidman and Will Ferrell. gone is the name Samantha Stephens; instead, Kidman plays a character named Isobel Bigelow. and gone is Samantha’s fantastical mother, Endora. in her place is Michael Caine. In short: be-sucks.













  • the original tv show was odd, backwoodsy and maybe even inadvertently racist at times, but it had a good heart. the film version, starring Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson, settles instead for sex jokes and sophmoric physical idiocy. maybe they should have just gone 'jackass'
  • this film is based on a long running cartoon series about three chipmunk brothers
  • despite some nips and tucks the updated movie Max isn’t that different from the television version. Everything looks pricier, Max appears somewhat costlier too, sleeker, as does 99 (leggy, pretty, harmless Anne Hathaway)
  • based on the popular french cartoon detective of the same name, this film is a wild and quirky adventure comedy about a somewhat-naive security guard (Matthew Broderick) who is literally blown to pieces by the nefarious Dr. Claw (Rupert Everett) and rebuilt by a sexy scientist named Brenda Bradford (Joely Fisher) into a man of many talents and accessories
  • this film remained too devoted to the original series about 2 streetwise cops. when contemplating how to introduce this concept to a new generation, it became more like another stiller/wilson show
  • featuring the same characters as its TV counterpart: James West, the James Bond of the cowboy set. His sidekick, Artemus Gordon (kevin kline), was the go-to guy for gadgets and disguises, the big-budget summer stinker made one key change through casting: Box office champ Will Smith turned West into an African-American cowboy.
  • based on a cartoon series where a boy got into a plane crash, grows up in a jungle and was raised by apes. brendan fraser manages to be smart in his portrayal of dumbness
  • yes, the macabre 1960s series about a clan of ghoulish family of outcasts living in a creepy mansion is fine viewing, but we prefer the 1991 film version for the inspired casting: Anjelica Huston as Morticia; Raul Julia as Gomez; Christina Ricci as Wednesday. Tres bien. (That's French!)
