I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.
But the animation has become very good, and I think that a movie is not a book, and a book is not a movie.
J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.
What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things.
I think it's so funny when people think they can't control a movie star. They can. We're just women, you know.
I have kind of a funny relationship with movies. I don't have to see the whole movie to get an impression of it or to let it have an influence on me.
I honestly love any good chick flick, as long as it's a good movie or pretty funny. 'Love Actually' is a no-brainer.
There are some movies that I would like to forget, for the rest of my life - really! But even those movies that I'd like to forget teach me things.
The truth of the matter is movies are a reflection of life and violence is a real part of life. I don't think you could make movies exclusively where there was no violence.
If I wanted to make spy movies for the rest of my life, that would be one thing, but I don't want to just make spy movies.
When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
It doesn't matter the amount of gore, the amount of shocks that you can have in a movie if the movie's not entertaining, if the story's not entertaining.
I think the location is almost as important as casting the leads of the movie. The location on 'The Purge' was crucial to that movie working.
I wanted to make a movie that was kind of a tribute to the way I feel when I watch a John Hughes movie.
Movies are a commercial medium. We don't make movies to impress our friends and critics. It's an expensive medium. We have to gain money from it.
A movie that I'm involved with and have a lot of love for, which is 'On The Road,' does use a lot of handheld. It can be done beautifully. I'm proud of that. It's a very beautiful movie.
When you fall in love with favourite movie stars, it's not because they're movie stars and unattainable, but because they show you sides of themselves that are extremely personal.
I like doing character movies. I like doing movies about personal situations; that's what I love about dealing with things.
The hardest thing for me about making movies, and that included 'M*A*S*H' because it was made like a movie, was starting and stopping.
I cry a lot, you know. Which is very difficult for a man to recognise, but I do. I cry in movies, you know, just watching movies.
