ANOTHER week, another movie remake. Have I finally discovered the time machine that allows me to transport myself back to the 90s and my teenage years?

Will I be spending the weekend swooning over boys at the disco to the sounds of Bryan Adams Everything I Do (I Do It For You) from Robin Hood?

Or will my girlie friends and I tuck into our usual midnight feast while cowering behind the sofa to terrified to watch the usual sleepover fare of Nightmare On Elm Street?

Both are fairly unlikely I’m afraid.

No, it really is 2010. I am 31 – and have not done either of those things for quite some time.

However, Hollywood seems to have forgotten that 20 years have elapsed.

The biggest two films of the last fortnight are – you’ve guessed it – Robin Hood and Nightmare on Elm Street.

When those studios in Hollywood run out of ideas, they often turn to reinventing cherished films of the past.

Updates can, on occasion, bring classics into the modern era.

But the speed at which these films are being reinvented can now only be described as break-neck.

The latest raft of remakes – and in that I include Alice in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty – are less of a homage more of an attempt to fix something that wasn’t broken in the first place.
