This is a remake of the classic 1973 movie of the same name. In the Wicker Man, Sergeant Howie (Nicholas Cage) is called on by an ex-girlfriend to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, Rowan Morrison, but he finds stubborn, tight-lipped resistance from the local islanders, who carry about their business unmindful of his single-minded detective work. Howie, a man from the city, is clearly out of his depth, believing the missing girl is his daughter, and heading towards the Wicker Man.
Comparing the two movies, the original wins hands down, but this still isn't a bad movie, I enjoyed it, and although the general story was the same, the events in the movie where different! Sadly there was no replacement for the Britt Ekland character though :(
I collect DVDs, we have over 3,000 titles in the house now! I buy most from Car Boot Sales,Poundshops, markets, sales, and greatly reduced from the internet, but I only buy what I want to watch! I do a short report when I watch them, I got rid of almost 800 titles at Christmas 2010 (low score, duplicates, ones I'd never watch etc.) I continue to wade through them, and appear to be buying slightly less, but still watching like mad :)
