Ain't love grand?While I do secretly enjoy director Richard Fleischer's goofy 1985 adventure epic Red Sonja more than I probably should, I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of a remake, especially when the redux finds Rose McGowan in the lead role and Robert Rodriguez producing the whole sordid affair. Hell, I love Desperado and Planet Terror more than most of my family and friends. What I am concerned about, however, is the presence of Highlander: Endgame craftsman Douglas Aarniokoski. He's a great cinematographer, to be sure, but his directing abilities do leave much to be desired. Alas, I'll probably pony up the proverbial dough to watch this questionable flick once it arrives in theaters, though I do plan to go into the showing with my expectations in check and suitably sedated. As long as they don't go overboard with the whole "female warrior" scenario, everything should be right with the world. Assuming, of course, that Douglas doesn't completely botch the job, though I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. But just this once, okay? Super.

This could actually be fun. Highlander: Endgame was undeniably crappy, but I recall seeing a rough cut of it on VHS or DVD that was better than the regular version. Hopefully Rodriguez will be heavily involved.
