Kick off your Sunday shoes–Footloose is back in theaters in a brand spanking new version. Directed by Craig Brewer and starring to very attractive professional dancers/amateur actors, this remake largely follows the same beat as its predecessor, but is entertaining (if not particularly profound) in its own right. And as remakes go, it’s a damn sight better than the remake of The Thing that’s opening today as well.  Read my reviews of both films, along with the rest of my TWoP content from the week, by following the links below.
