RoboPops: Top Five Remakes You Can Watch
With Your Kids!
Directed by José Padilha, RoboCop stars Joel Kinnaman,
Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley and Samuel L.
Jackson. In RoboCop, the year is 2028
and OmniCorp – the world’s leader in robot technology – sees a golden
opportunity to reap billions for their company.
When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop
doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is
critically injured, OmniCorp grabs their chance to build a part-man, part-robot
police officer. OmniCorp envisions a
RoboCop in every city and will stop at nothing – no matter the cost to Alex –
to make sure the program succeeds. But
OmniCorp never counted on one thing: there is still a man fighting inside the
machine.
In celebration of RoboCop’s Blu-ray, DVD, and VOD
releases, we present to you the top ten remakes you can watch with your kids!
1. Freaky Friday
Freaky Friday was remade in 2003 starring Lindsay Lohan
and Jamie Lee Curtis. The original was released in 1976, and there was another
remake in 1995. In this fun movie, Lohan plays a misunderstood and rebellious
teenage daughter to Curtis’s overworked mother. When the tension between them
reaches a boiling point, a magical fortune cookie causes them to switch bodies
and forces them to see their lives through each other’s eyes.
2. Three Men and a Baby
The biggest hit movie of 1987, Three Men and a Baby was a
remake of the 1985 French film, Three Men and a Cradle. Tom Selleck, Steve
Guttenberg, and Ted Danson star as three bachelors who are forced to take care
of a baby left at their doorstep. Mix in a few drug dealers and you’ve got one
of the funniest and most popular movies ever remade!
3. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
For those whose
kids are dreamers, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty would be a joy to watch.
With inspiring characters, funny moments, and a wonderful storyline, this movie
should not be missed! A 2013 remake of the 1947 film of the same name, it stars
Ben Stiller as the titular character, along with Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn, and
Adam Scott.
4. Peter Pan
The classic story of the boy who never grows up, fairy
dust, flying, and evil pirates is one that has been made and remade in film
various times. The 2003 remake of Peter Pan is a live-action version filled
with playful children, fantasy, and romance that speaks to the kid in all of
us.
5. Robocop
Whether it’s 2028 Detroit or a dystopic Detroit from
1987, when Alex Murphy - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically
injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their
chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
