Any of those early Woody Allen movies, the ones where he portrayed the lovable nebbish, before Allen the real guy, was immersed in accusations. We'll never know the real truth, but a do-over on...

We wil see. Of course the preview moment will try to lead us to recognize the old Frasier, but can they actually "reboot" the series? How about Cheers while we're at it? Boston is still there and...

Re: Godzilla Minus One

It's been a while since I've seen a new Japanese monster movie. Maybe if this one sells (I can't imagine that it won't), we can see a Mothra reboot, followed by Rodan.

Wow. It looks like the titular dinosaur has gotten even bigger. Fortunately it sounds like they did not lose that dino-roar, my favorite part of old Godzilla movies.
