I'm not of the opinion that remakes are automatically a bad thing. Without them, we wouldn't have David Cronenberg's The Fly or John Carpenter's The Thing. The difference is that examples like those had a different way of telling the established story.

OKG7 things to do

Colin Currie is sure to ’phone in his performance with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic — vibraphone, that is. The percussionist is adept at solos on the marimba, blocks and drum sets, too, so no wonder the event carries the title of Motion & Emotion. Copland and Tchaikovsky are among those on tap for the 8 p.m. Saturday concert at Civic Center Music Hall, 201 N. Walker. Tickets are $25- $52. Call 232-7575 or visit okcphilharmonic.org.

Seven's not a lucky number in the case of Seven Psychopaths, writer/director Martin McDonagh’s follow-up to the Oscar-nominated In Bruges. In fact, the math is all wrong, as I kept waiting for its disparate elements to add up. Unfortunately, it never did.

Britain’s on high alert after a plane falls from the sky from unknown causes. Terrorist attack, perhaps? At a 24-hour storage facility — hence the film’s title, Storage 24 — the ensuing crash has locked down its security system, effectively trapping people inside. Oh, and one gnarly alien.
