A remake of an old comedy and two movies I hope are never remade are on tap for this week's Blu-Ray releases. "Going in Style," "Unforgettable" and "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" come from Warner Brothers ("Going in Style" is being released this week, while the other two appear to have escaped, rather than been released).
Let's tackle the old dudes first, since it's easy for me to identify with such seasoned folks. This new 2017 version stars Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin in the roles first occupied by George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg. I never saw that first film but, since Hollywood seems to have difficulty remaking a successful film these days without adding left wing dogma, I went into this one anticipating very little worth recommending. But I was surprised.
Oh, I get the politically correct stuff here, in that these three musty steers are at their financial wits' end and are being screwed royally by a big bank, and I understand how rewarding it could be to stick it to the Man in such a way as the guys here do.
