The Remaking of Pelham 123



We did a little moaning hereabouts at this time last year over the remaking of one of our favorite NYC films, "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three."

    The original parts were filmed on Astor Place.

    and kudos to Denzel. From the evil cop in Training Day to an apparent dweeb in this, while Travolta does the plastic villian...

    Yeah, Travolta's act has been tired for years... His villain always seem the same.
