Let’s do one more of these prior-year look-back Roundtables before we move on to newer topics. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve discussed both the overrated and underrated films of 2011. This week, we’ll talk...
What do you call the part-prequel/part-remake of a remake of an adaptation of a short story? How about the most promising streaming rental of the week?
