It's that time of the year when holiday romance movies are released in bulk. The romances had their turn in February, the action movies in summer, and lets not forget the spooky season, which sees even more horror movies. Now it's almost Christmas, and therefore, streaming services and cable are jammed with holiday romances that follow the same formula year after year.

Remakes were considered to be a reimagining of classics for the newer audience, although it isn't as widely accepted by film enthusiasts.

The reason there is a remake of that movie is because the story worked and was widely accepted and appreciated by the audience. 2) Not everyone wants to read subtitles. Reading can be hard. More often than not, remakes are made of foreign-language movies. Those movies are available to watch on streaming services, but they...

For others, it's a form of entertainment to read funny, deriding comments on others.

However, do you really want to go down that path and be tagged as a troll? Here's how to beat that annoying compulsion to turn into a troll. 1) Tell yourself you don't have to share your precious opinions on every post Do you really want to give out your opinions on everything or reserve it for an intellectual conversation among friends and a group of people you actually know?
