Recast Contest

Are you tired of Hollywood remaking the movies of your childhood just for a quick buck? Haven't you had enough of them putting the latest teen hunk, or sultry vixen in place of the icons you grew up watching? (I'm talking to you Tim Burton!) If Hollywood is going to continue to remake every classic film, don't you wish you had a say in who could play the parts of your favorite characters?

Critics Critic is here to ease your pain. We are now offering our first contest. It will be a monthly Recasting Contest. Here's how it works:

I will post the name a classic film, and the major characters of the film. I will also provide the names of the actors that originally played those roles.

You will then email us at movierabble@gmail.com and provide us your recasting ideas.

I will review all the entries and the person will the most clever, original, entertaining, or just best placed actors/actresses will win a free movie ticket to a theater near them. They will also win the privilege of naming the next months Recasting Movie.

Lets get things started! The inaugural Recasting Movie is: The KARATE KID

Ralph Macchio - Daniel Larusso
Pat Morita - Mr. Miyagi
Elisabeth Shue - Ali Mills
William Zabka - Johhny Lawrence
Martin Kove - John Kreese

A typical response might be:

Zach Efron - Daniel-san
Jet Li - Mr. Miyagi
Anna Farris - Ali
Dane Cook - Johhny
John C. Riley - John Kreese

Be original! I encourage you to explain your picks.
