I screwed up (again) and completely forgot about the blogfest & I was really looking forward to it. Ocean's Eleven and Cape Fear were on my list for best remakes & Footloose for worst remake. Congratulations on all your new followers. If you have a chance stop by my blog and get more entries in my prize give a way contest. I'm shooting for 500 followers & I'm almost there. The grand prize is an iPad mini.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020099647940696614.post-70409987869811799532013-05-19T23:40:40.544-05:002013-05-19T23:40:40.544-05:00I almost chose Ocean's Eleven, too.
