NO NO NO NO NO
"John Carpenter's cult 1988 film is getting the remake treatment from Universal and studio-based Strike Entertainment, which are in negotiations to acquire the film rights with rights holder Les Mougins.
Strike's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman will produce, while Shep Gordon of Les Mougins and Carpenter will serve as executive producers.
The original film, part sci-fi thriller and part social satire, told the story of a down-on-his-luck construction worker (Roddy Piper) who discovers glasses that let him see aliens walking among us and controlling humanity. The man races against the clock to find a way to stop them.
The movie is known for a fight scene that lasts 51⁄22 minutes and for the line, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass ... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
No writer is on board.
Gordon, an entrepreneur and music impresario who worked with Alice Cooper and Blondie, holds the rights, having financed the film as part of a multipicture deal with Carpenter that also included "Prince of Darkness" and "Village of the Damned." Universal distributed the film as part of an output deal Gordon constructed.
Strike, whose credits include "Bring It On" and "Children of Men," had success in the remake arena with 2004's update of "Dawn of the Dead." Strike is also working on a remake of Carpenter's "The Thing."..."

WTF Bring it on and children of men? Oh and his Dawn of the dead remake was completely crap as well!

"IT'S A LIVE RIDE"
This is another film that I found when I used to work at a video shop, BODY ROCK is an appalling cash in on the early days of hip hop culture, complete with Lorenzo Llamas as Chilly-D the arrogant fame hungry prez of the body rock crew. He gets the fame he is craving but leaves his boys back in the hood. This upsets him so he says sorry to them, to make up, he puts on a big musical combining both street and classical dance moves! break"cough"dance and"cough"breakdance two"cough"electric boogaloo?
-pop trivia- Some of the guys posing behind Chilly at 1:32 are members of the feared street gang called the Ballbusters.
