We can skip The Wiz which was based on The Wizard of Oz written by Lyman Frank Baum who was a racist. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5662524

I hope they don't remake that insult to a CLASSIC film, either.

With these numbers, a remake probably isn't in the works...

Budget $24 million
Box Office $13,600,000

I would like to refer to Huey Freeman's critic of Soul Food in the "Itis." Also of Tyler Perry in "Pause."

Some good movies, but what about This Christmas with Loretta Devine and Delroy Lindo?
Really "Life" as a holiday family movie? I enjoyed the very funny movie with Eddie and Martin but would not consider a family holiday movie.

Some good selections, but you forgot the funniest holiday movie ever made... National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...
