2022 with Tall Trees Audio Mastering's Stephen Kerrison
The Liverpool master engineering shares his favourite releases of the year.
2 Comments on 2022 with Tall Trees Audio Mastering's Stephen Kerrison
Stephen Kerrison
While discovering new music is a wonderful thing when running a music website, meeting and engaging with new people is equally exciting.
Over the past couple of years, Stephen Kerrison has been involved in many of the releases which fill the column inches throughout these pages.
The founder of Liverpool's Tall Trees Audio Mastering, Kerrison and I often communicated over social media when a review would drop. Just general music chatter, but it was evident that Kerrison (like us) is a slave to the sound.
Prior to being a mastering engineer, Kerrison has featured prominently across the U.K. underground landscape, formerly of Bronnt Industries Kapital – the experimental collective that was like a wicked fever dream of an Einstürzende Neubauten / Bohren and der Club of Gore collaboration – and math rock agitators, Iron Crease. As well also being a part of Zun Zun Egui, Safetyword and ANTA, Kerrison has also released a series of solo works – the latest being the brilliant 2018 LP, Mater.
Due to the obvious events over the past three years, it wasn't until September when we both crossed paths during an Enablers' show at the Kazimier Stockroom. Still, many of the people whom we communicate with haven't been met in person, and just thinking about it, Stephen was probably the first. From there, as strange as it sounds, it felt like Sun 13 was actually humanised.
Back in November, we asked the musician-cum-mastering engineer to take us through his 2022, where he answered a series of our questions along with providing his favourite records of the year.
Sun 13's Top 50 Albums of 2022
Sun 13: Firstly, can you tell us about Tall Trees Audio Mastering and how it all started?
Stephen Kerrison: "TTAM started shortly after I moved to Liverpool from Bristol back in 2016. I'd been an active musician for the previous 15 years or so, and still kind of was, but leaving the house to live in a van for weeks at a time just to try and make some money had started to lose it's appeal somewhat.
"After a mild panic, a wise friend suggested to me that I might make a good mastering engineer, which is something I'd never thought about before in my life but sounded cool because you got to sit down. So I took all of the music knowledge I'd absorbed since I left school to work at HMV, all of the time I'd spent in studios making records myself and all of the time I'd spent around some really incredible musicians and channelled it into learning how to get really good at mastering records, and importantly, how to do it properly and professionally.
"During the pandemic I quit any other part-time jobs I was working and just concentrated on getting the studio established and that's where I am now, the studio is doing great but of course I'm still learning and trying to get better with every record."
S13: In the world of mastering and production, who would you consider to be your influences?
SK: "In mastering, Katie Tavini. The way she goes about things just instantly stood out to me when I first came across her, and I'm lucky enough to now work closely with her as part of the Weird Jungle mastering collective which she launched earlier this year (www.weirdjungle.com). She's an amazing mastering engineer (I reference her masters regularly), but she sits so comfortably outside the 'audio industry', which is something I didn't even really know was possible to do and still be able to work professionally, the whole studio system just seemed like such a closed shop, so seeing her prove that that isn't the only way was, and continues to be, hugely inspiring to me."
S13: You've been working on loads of stuff, too. I get the impression that you'd rather work with artists you like as opposed to working on any release. Would that be accurate?
SK: "That is true, but honestly it's much, much more important to me to be working with people I actually like, rather than just music that I'd choose to listen to anyway. I'm really lucky in that those two things seem to regularly cross over and I work with awesome people on their awesome music. I genuinely believe that you get back what you put out, and I guess because I like talking about stuff I like and don't have to worry too much about putting people off in the way that maybe a more commercial studio might, on the most part I just seem to attract really cool people. Genre is way less important to me than attitude."
S13: Amongst all the releases you've worked with this year, I'd say the Olanza record is the one that jumped out at me the most. How did that collaboration come about?
SK: "That record was such a lovely group effort! So, I've known Aron Ward for absolutely years, we've done a ton of musical stuff together in the past and I was already a fan of Olanza having seen them play many times in their various incarnations over the years. I actually think Shaun Sepr is the only original member, believe it or not. Annie Gardiner then joined on bass (and has since left again!), and I'd worked with Annie before on mastering her absolutely stunning solo album Bloodletting (which, if you haven't heard it, I implore you seek out – it's a proper masterpiece). They recorded the album with Wayne Adams (Bear Bites Horse) who I've worked with a few times (most recently on the monolithic new PETBRICK album), and then the icing on the cake was that Owen [Gildersleeve] from the totally great Human Worth records decided to release it, so it was a proper meeting of loads of lovely people to make that album, and what a fantastic album it is too."
S13: I'm presuming you've got plenty in the pipeline for 2023, too?
SK: "I can confirm there are some absolutely stunning albums I've mastered that have been finished and are at the manufacturing stage right now that I reckon will be right up Sun 13's street! It's not my place to announce them of course, but yeah, some belters coming up in the first part of 2023.
"One that has been announced that I can mention is the new album from Lichen Slow, which is a new project from Malcolm Middleton (Arab Strap) and Joel Harries (from, among other things, 72% – another of the Human Worth roster), which is out in March on Rock Action records. Such a beautiful album, and beautiful people to work with too. Also, my wife Sorrell made the brilliant video for the first single Hobbies too, which is totally awesome."
S13: Finally, the all important question. What are your favourite albums of 2022?
SK: "Okay, well I have to put a quick disclaimer first – I've decided to not include any records that I've worked on as I feel the bias would just be too influential. If I had, albums from Charles Watson, Puzzle, The Last Vinci, Yama Warashi, The Grand Piano, Olanza, Dwhyte Olivers, Dune Boy and PETBRICK would all be jostling for a spot, but my favourite albums I've loved this year that I had no involvement in at all are (in no particular order):

Jared Evan Siegel is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and rapper. He was signed to Zone 4 under Interscope Records. The song "Frozen", which Evan wrote and produced, appeared on the LeBron James documentary soundtrack entitled Music Inspired by More than a Game. In 2013 his album Boom Bap & Blues with Statik Selektah peaked at No. 8 on the iTunes Soul charts independently.

Early life
Evan grew up in Great Neck, New York. He started out by playing the drums, dreaming to one day become the next Keith Moon. Initially wanting to be a professional drummer, Evan eventually began taking on several other talents. He later became heavily influenced by seminal hip hop artists such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Kool G Rap, and A Tribe Called Quest. He studied early hip hop while also taking musical cues from his alternative and r&b/soul influences such as Thom Yorke, Cream, Bradley Nowell, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, James Brown and others. His early years were troubled and music provided a therapeutic outlet for him.

Later, Evan focused more on producing and songwriting. He started to incorporate raps, while introducing melodic undertones over his own production. In 2008 at the age of 18, Evan won the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival's Spit 16 competition curated by The Source.

It was around this time where Evan started interning at The FADER in New York City. He gave his then mixtape Radio in My Head to friend and acclaimed Hip Hop director Rik Cordero (whom he met while interning at The FADER). Cordero and Evan started creating visually stunning music videos to complement Evan's sound. These videos were then circulated to the top music executives, and within weeks, Evan had several major label offers.

Career

In June 2009, Evan decided to sign with Zone 4/Interscope with the support of Jimmy Iovine. In October 2009, Evan was featured in Billboard as an "Under the radar artist with the potential to break into the big time."

In August 2010, Interscope released the single, "In Love with You." In March 2011, the song was aired on the Greek television show Radio Arvyla and because of this, it met great success, reaching No. 1 overall on the Greek iTunes charts. During this time, he had also worked with some of his musical heroes such as The Neptunes, Dr. Dre and Mike Elizondo.

In the spring of 2011, Evan joined OneRepublic on a nationwide tour. At the end of 2011, Evan opted out of his contract with Interscope. He split ways with the label expressing that they were not supporting his true vision thoroughly. After leaving and going independent, Evan started to form a passionate cult fan base.

In 2012, Evan released his debut project entitled The 4th Chapter. It was released to fans for free online.
He then helped write and produce a large portion of Hoodie Allen's mixtape Crew Cuts, before releasing his collaboration album with Statik Selektah entitled Boom Bap & Blues on February 26, 2013. It features artists like Joey Badass and Action Bronson, amongst several others. It was originally released as a free album through Evan's website, although days later the album debuted at No. 29 on the iTunes R&B/Soul charts. Within a couple of hours it shot to No. 8. Boom Bap & Blues is said to be some of Evan's best work and has become critically acclaimed.

In 2014, Evan produced a large portion of Hoodie Allen's debut album People Keep Talking. One of the songs, "Numbers," which Evan produced and co-wrote, met great success reaching No. 5 overall on the iTunes charts.

On November 19, 2016, Evan released his first solo full-length album, The Blanket Truth. It peaked at No. 30 on the iTunes pop charts.

In the Spring of 2019, Evan started releasing a slew of new singles. He released the first single "Permanent Damage" in March 2019. He later released another single entitled "Dark Days" in July 2019, a third single "Perfect Strangers" in September 2019 and a fourth single "Sabotage" in December 2019.

Later, in the summer of 2020, Evan released The Art Form of Whatever II, a sequel to his 2015 mixtape The Art Form of Whatever.

In February 2021, Jared announced he would be releasing an album made up entirely of fan collaborations. He named the project COLLAB, and released it on March 19, 2021. In September 2021, Jared announced his album Dark Days, the same name as the title track that was released in 2019. The album was released on October 22, 2021.

On September 6, 2022, Jared announced BB3 - the third sequel to his Boom Bap & Blues album with Statik Selektah. The album was released on October 14, 2022 via Jared's label 4th Chapter Music. While BB3 is considered to be part of the collab-series with Statik Selektah, most of the album was actually produced by Jared himself, as well as with a few other producers.

Musical style
Evan's musical style combines soul, hip-hop, and pop with alternative rock and alternative R&B influences. He is known for an introspective style of songwriting, often citing Bradley Nowell, The Beatles, Radiohead, Method Man, Mos Def, Al Green, Rza, DJ Premier, Stevie Wonder and Cream (band) as his main influences.

Future and Zaytoven prepare their joint mixtape, "Beast Mode".
Future hit us with "Real Sisters", a Zaytoven-produced record, just in time for New Year's Eve, and soon after, news spread that the two were working on a joint mixtape.
Beast Mode impacts today, and should be another dose of pre-Pluto Future that he gave us with the Monster project, though Zay's bouncy compositions should make for a lighter experience than that tape's punishingly dark atmosphere. In other words, it should be more Astronaut Status than Dirty Sprite.
The 9-track offering features Young Scooter and Juvenile. Download it right now and let us know what you think.


Expert Eye: How can governments boost Africa's economic growth?
The African economy is growing again after 2015's commodity price plunge.
Despite the still significant current account deficits in many economies, the outlook is positive on the whole. But there are a number of areas governments need to focus on to ensure the region can capitalise and achieve its growth potential, from addressing the inequalities in company payment terms to boosting investment levels.
While foreign direct investment (FDI) fell by 20 percent between 2016 and 2017, the recovery of commodity prices and greater cross-border co-operation have resulted in an upturn over the last 12 months.
African nations can exert little influence on the former, but by working together they can eradicate trade barriers and open up borders to develop better integrated, regional supply chains that could provide the platform to produce and export more manufactured, finished goods.
The new African Free Trade Agreement (FTA) represents a major step in the right direction and it will be important for governments to push this forward to keep up the momentum.
A lack of financial infrastructure is among the biggest bottlenecks impeding African firms' access to credit, which in-turn impinges on economic growth.
For example, less than 30 percent of the sub-Saharan adult population have access to a bank account, meaning informal cash transactions are widespread. Mobile banking is a good solution and introducing it would reduce the distance between people and banks to zero, limiting management costs and administrative requirements. The widespread and growing use of mobile phones on the continent makes this an achievable goal.
Looking at the short-term, having more adequate day sales outstanding (DSO) – the average number of days that it takes a company to collect payment after a sale has been made – has the potential to have a significant and quick impact on growth.
A lack of standardisation across Africa is resulting in a widening inequality gap. Big players are often bad payers, whereas small to medium sized firms are expected to pay upfront or on delivery, often in cash, which severely limits their ability to invest in growth.
For example, state-owned enterprises in Angola and Egypt are able to postpone payments by several years and although Moroccan corporates pay much quicker, with an average DSO of 84 days, almost a third of their transactions with smaller firms involve upfront cash payments.
Our forecasts show the effects of standardising payment terms to 30 days for transactions currently paid in cash would be substantial.
Approximately $33.5 billion in additional working capital would be freed-up this year alone which companies could use to reinvest. By 2020, this figure could rise to an estimated $45 billion. Oil exporters across Africa, such as Nigeria, Angola and Libya, could release $14 billion per year between them, whereas Algeria, the Republic of Congo and Kenya could free-up $5 billion (three percent of GDP), $0.9 billion (11 percent of GDP) and $1.6 billion (two percent of GDP) respectively.
Implementing a new standard will not be a simple task, but the huge amount of money that could be reinvested provides a strong argument for developing a strategy that balances payment terms across Africa.
Opportunities for growth in the region are a cause for optimism but roadblocks stand in the way of it realising its potential. Encouraging further foreign investment, making the most of emerging banking technology and introducing standardised payment terms for businesses across the continent will go a long way to breaking down those barriers.

Filling the Gap in Colonial Political Thought
Craig Yirush
When we think of the origins of the American tradition of political liberty, we think of the American Founding—the extraordinary era of political creativity that began with resistance to Britain and culminated in the ratification of the Constitution and the creation of a new republican nation. But where did those who made the Revolution and created the new nation get the political ideas immortalized in texts like the Declaration of Independence?
In the popular imagination, the Spirit of '76 was the product of the rare political genius of the Founders. In this heroic account, there's no need to probe the roots of the Founders' ideas; their status as quasi-mythical lawgivers is explanation enough. Scholars, however, have sought the roots of the Founders' ideas in the classical and Christian heritage of European thought, and in particular in the tumultuous political debates of 17th and 18th century England—a time of civil war and revolution, and of intense debates about rights, republicanism, and resistance.
The colonists who made a Revolution against the most powerful empire in the world were indeed political geniuses. It's also true that their ideas were shaped by the seminal thinkers of the European tradition like John Locke. But what effect did the long political experience of the American colonists in the empire have on the Founders' thinking and, more broadly, on the development of an American tradition of political liberty?
In the second half of the 20th century, scholars became embroiled in a debate about liberalism and republicanism in the American Founding. Yet neither that debate, nor the more recent spate of Founders' biographies (and musicals!), has paid more than cursory attention to the development of colonial polities and political ideas. Consider that, by the time of the Revolution, the colonies had been largely self-governing polities for over 100 years. They established representative government; asserted their rights and liberties against the Crown and its representatives; developed sophisticated defenses of the constitutions they created for the new polities they constructed; theorized the distribution of authority within the British Empire; and fought against and negotiated with the Native Americans, the Dutch, the French, and the Spanish.
Convinced that these colonial developments deserved more in-depth examination, my coeditor Jack Greene made the case to Liberty Fund in the early 1990s for a collection of colonial political writings to redress this lacuna. When I came to study with Greene a few years later, he involved me in the project, and we began to read a wide range of colonial political writings searching for representative examples that would be suitable for an edited collection. We then had, with the help of several others, the laborious task of finding clean copies of the writings we thought suitable for inclusion, after which we researched and wrote head notes for each selection, setting out the context surrounding its publication.
The result, after many years of work, is Exploring the Bounds of Liberty: Political Writings of Colonial British America from the Glorious Revolution to the American Revolution, out this month from Liberty Fund Press. It reprints in a modern, accessible edition 75 of the most important pamphlets, newspaper essays, and plays published in British America from the late 17th century to the eve of the American Revolution. (A longer e-book edition of another 97 pamphlets is forthcoming from Liberty Fund.) Previously available only in rare book libraries or (latterly) behind the paywall of expensive digital databases, these writings allow not just scholars but members of the public to explore the colonial roots of American political ideas.
Our collection ranges from New England and Nova Scotia in the north to the West Indian islands in the south, and from the Glorious Revolution in America to the final battles over the royal prerogative in the 1760s and 1770s before the British Parliament pushed the mainland colonies into open rebellion. It thus complements two other Liberty Fund publications, Ellis Sandoz's two-volume Political Sermons of the American Founding Era: 1730-1805 (1991), and American Political Writing During the Founding Era: 1760-1805 (1983), two volumes edited by Charles S. Hyneman and Donald S. Lutz.
What can these long-neglected, often obscure, political writings tell us about the colonists' ideas of liberty? As shown by William Penn's The Excellent Priviledge of Liberty and Property (1687), the first pamphlet in our collection, the colonists cherished their rights as English subjects to life, liberty, and property. For Penn the two most important of these rights were to political representation and to jury trials, both of which, he argued, protected English subjects against arbitrary royal power. Representation in a Parliament or a colonial assembly allowed the people to consent to laws that bound them, while juries prevented the Crown from depriving subjects of life and liberty without the consent of their peers.
When the Stuart Kings in the 1680s revoked the charters of the northern colonies, the colonists asserted that their English rights were endangered—rights, they insisted, that all the King's subjects were entitled to wherever they resided in the empire. To this assertion of the equality of rights and liberty with subjects back in Britain they added another: that it was particularly egregious of the Crown to treat its colonial subjects arbitrarily given that they had risked their lives in a perilous voyage across the ocean and established flourishing colonies in a hostile wilderness.
Both claims were central to Jeremiah Dummer's sophisticated defense of the New England charters in 1721 (selection number 20), and to Daniel Dulany's forceful 1728 case for the right of colonists in Maryland to the benefit English laws (selection number 26). In making his case, Dulany imagined America as a Lockean state of nature and contended that the colonists in Maryland had chosen to adopt English law as the best way to guarantee their natural rights. This was a claim echoed by the Virginian Richard Bland (selection number 63), among others, in the imperial crisis of the 1760s and 1770s.
The writings in our collection also show the colonists exploring the implications of their commitment to English liberty by asserting the power of their local assemblies against the prerogative of governors, challenging the powers of the unelected colonial councils and the legitimacy of prerogative equity courts, and by thinking deeply about the nature of constitutionalism, as the anonymous authors of a series of essays in the Maryland Gazette did in 1748 (selection number 42). Our collection does not, however, ignore those who pushed back against the more radical democratizing tendencies of colonial thought, like Gershom Bulkeley of Connecticut (selection number 3), who argued against resisting the Stuarts in the 1680s, and Archibald Kennedy of New York (selection number 43), who warned that the increasing power of the colonial assemblies in the 1750s weakened the colonies in the face of the French and Indian threat.
Nor is Exploring the Bounds of Liberty limited to writings about political liberty. It also includes writings about political economy that show the colonists grappling with duties levied by the Crown on their exports as well as with parliamentary laws which limited with whom they could trade and on what terms. Other writings deal with the vexed question of whether colonial governments could issue paper money, an ongoing source of tension with London in the 18th century. The tension between the growth of African American slavery and the English colonists' commitment to liberty also features in several of the writings in our collection, as does the legal status of Native Americans who were occupying the land which many of the colonists insisted was in fact a wilderness before they arrived, a theme that I explore in my own interpretation of colonial political thought.[1]
Ultimately, though, our intent is not to dictate to our readers what is and is not important in colonial political thought. It is rather to invite them to explore for themselves this rich body of writings about liberty. While the time may never come when names like Jeremiah Dummer trip off the tongue as easily as those of Thomas Jefferson or James Madison, we hope that Exploring the Bounds of Liberty will lead scholars to take colonial political ideas seriously while educating the general public about the deepest roots of America's long tradition of political liberty.

This collection is a fundamental contribution to the study of the intersection of ideas and experience. Many thanks to you both!
For too long ideas were either left to the sidelines of social history or too narrowly conceptualized in the study of colonial life ways. This collection should go a long way towards correcting that gap and will provide a substantial foundation for a more serious engagement with colonial era thought. It will prove indispensable not only to historians, but anyone interested in political and legal theory, as well as students of American culture and society generally.

Charlton Athletic hosted Shrewsbury Town on the back of last weekend's late 2-1 defeat at Sunderland.
Tipped to push for promotion to the Championship, the Addicks got off to the perfect start with Lyle Taylor scoring a penalty on his debut following his summer move from AFC Wimbledon.
However, the Black Cats hit back and Lynden Gooch netted a stoppage-time winner after Josh Maja had levelled the scores with 25 minutes remaining.
Now looking to get back to winning ways, Shrewsbury, who lost in the play-off final back in May, will also to be aiming to do the same after their 1-0 defeat against Bradford City.

CODE 4 is police jargon for "the situation is under control", and that is the status of most traffic stops. But did you know the Police seriously injure thousands of unarmed people each year? It happens because most of those individuals were never taught the rules-of-engagement for safe police encounters.
My name is Marvin Mitchell. I was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps when I was twenty-one, and I spent the following three decades as a software developer and entrepreneur. I spent my Saturdays serving with an organization called MAD DADS. This is where dozens of fathers and grandfathers gathered regularly, and we would protest in front of the neighborhood's crack houses.
I also spent the first Sunday of each month traveling to various penal institutions and serving as a prison ministry volunteer. That's a quick snapshot of my story. If you would like more information about the inspiration behind this book, please check out my interview.
My life experiences have led me to the following conclusion—the surest way to protect yourself from being unnecessarily injured by law enforcement is to learn the rules-of-engagement for safe police encounters—and using them when necessary.
The main thing one has to remember is that cops do not respond to your intentions, they respond to their perceptions of your intentions. That is why everyone must learn the rules-of-engagement for police encounters. This book is a fast read, but it may well be the most important book you will ever read.
If you think this book isn't for you, my team and I have created a free online Safe Police Encounters Quiz so you can know for sure.
Before you have "the talk" with your son or daughter about how to safely interact with police officers, ready this book to make sure you cover all the important points.

Worst 100 Remakes of All Time
Contents: 100-91 • 90-81 • 80-71 • 70-61 • 60-51 • 50-41 • 40-31 • 30-21 • 20-11 • 10-1
What makes a bad remake?[edit | edit source]
Before we can rank the worst remakes of all time, let's define a bad remake. A remake is when you take the exact same movie and do it over again. There are several factors involved in a bad remake:
The director and/or screenwriter can make a big difference. For example, who really wants to see Quentin Tarantino remake DuckTales: The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp? I think Malcolm McDowell has better things to do than to play an aging Scrooge McDuck. Who also wants Tim Burton to do Planet of the Apes? Wait a minute, he already did! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
The casting is also crucial to a remake. You don't cast Zac Efron to play Macbeth. Busta Rhymes should not be playing Hamlet. Kenan and Kel should not be playing Ren & Stimpy. Miley Cyrus would be miscast if she played Dorothy Gale. Justin Bieber would be wrong to portray Charles Foster Kane. And never, ever cast Brad Pitt as Michael Myers. Ever.
Another important factor is the concept. Should this movie even be remade? What was go great about the original in the first place? Also, how closely does the remake match the original? Think about this before you remake a movie.
The List[edit | edit source]
This is a list of the Worst 100 Remakes of All Time, as selected by America's Top Critics, monkeys, and whoever bothers to edit this page. Note: All of these movies are U.S.A. Roger Ebert recently wrote that most remakes were the equivalent of being teabagged by Hitler's monkey.
100-91[edit | edit source]
100.The Golden Girls
(1996) Francis Ford Coppola takes on the story of four elderly women living together: Italian-American granny Sophia (Titanic's Gloria Stuart); Sophia's daughter Dorothy (Jamie Lee Curtis); sexually active Southern gal Blanche (Angela Lansbury); ditzy blonde Rose (Glenn Close).
99.1-18-08/Cloverfield
(2108) J.J. Abrahms VIII remakes his great-great-great-great-grandfather's top-secret, untitled 2008 monster movie. Unfortunately, everybody knew what movie it was when it opened, and the mystery is gone. Stars Dakota Fanning as Old Rose.
98.6.Cinderella
(2010) Tim Burton is at it again, with another fucking "twisted" remake of a story that was once rendered cute by Disney. Cinderella is played by none other than (guess who!) Helena Bonham Carter, who couldn't act her way out of Cracker Jack box, and wouldn't work were it not for the fact that her husband is…Tim Burton. Johnny Depp, who works only to give Tim Burton films a chance of even having an audience, also stars as Prince Charming, Alan Rickman plays a gender-bending role as the Wicked Stepmother, and Timothy Spall plays one of the cute little mice, except in this version, they are diseased rats. Look out for Anne Hathaway as the Fairy Godmother, who is actually closer to a "Gothic Godmother". Marilyn Manson scores this film, as he has a fetish for making any thing he touches "twisted" as well, and does a hardcore remake titled "Bibbity, Bobbity BOO!!!"
98.Psycho
(1998) Anne Heche stops at the Bates Motel and is killed by the comedy stylings of Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, and Luke and Owen Wilson.
97.5.King Kong
(1976) John Travolta and Donald Pleasence stop the giant ape (Richard Pryor), who has kidnapped a beautiful woman (P.J. Soles). Music by the Bee Gees. Directed by Norman Lear.
(1982) Don Johnson and Phil Collins must stop the giant ape (the members of ZZ Top), who has kidnapped Debbie Harry. Music by Devo. Directed by John Landis.
97.King Kong
(1991) Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder must stop the giant ape (Michael Bolton) from taking over popular music. King Kong has also kidnapped Courtney Love and is climbing up the Sub Pop Records building. Music by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. Directed by Samuel Bayer.
96.It's a Wonderful Life
(2004) George Bailey (Jim Carrey) wishes he was never born, and his guardian angel Clarence (Morgan Freeman) shows George what life would be like without him in this unintentionally hilarious comedy. Also stars Jennifer Aniston as Mrs. Bailey and Christopher Lee as Mr. Potter. Directed by Uwe Boll.
95.Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
(2008) Zordon (Anthony Hopkins) and Alpha (Danny DeVito) recruit a team of teenagers (The cast of High School Musical) to be the Power Rangers. Also stars Richard Chamberlain as Lord Zedd, Judi Dench as Rita Repulsa, and Robin Williams as Ivan Ooze.
94.Forrest Gump
(2005) Michael Moore's remake focuses on Forrest Gump's (Adam Sandler) life from Watergate to Vietnam to 9/11 to the bombardment of pointless remakes to the War in Iraq. Very controversial, as usual. Features George W. Bush as Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton as John F. Kennedy, and Malcolm McDowell as shrimp-loving Bubba.
93.5.Toy Story
(2009) Uwe Boll made classic from Disney.
93.Toy Story
(2007) Rob Zombie wrote and directed this twisted re-imagining of the classic Disney movie. Woody (Bill Moseley) and Buzz Lightyear (Brad Dourif) mistakenly end up at the home of a sadistic kid named Sid Phillips (Daeg Faerch), who loves to torture toys. The violence and gore are on par with Zombie's previous movies, as well as the Saw movies. Also stars Richard Lynch as Mr. Potato Head, Malcolm McDowell as Slinky, Sherri Moon Zombie as Bo Peep, Dee Wallace Stone as Andy's mom, Sid Haig as Hamm, Ken Foree as Big Joe Grizzley, and R. Lee Ermey as the green army men. Rated R for strong, brutal, sadistic, bloody violence and gore; graphic nudity; strong language; teen smoking; teen drinking; crude humor.
92.The Honeymooners
(2005) Stars Bernie Mac as Ralph Kramden, Mike Epps as Ed Norton, and a bunch of other people in this African American update.
91.Trapped in the Closet with Michael Jackson
(2009) Michael Bay remakes the unbearably long R. Kelly R&B opera-music video-epic thingy he did. Only longer.
90-81[edit | edit source]
90.Donkey Kong
(2005) Peter Jackson's epic movie has a running time of over three hours, and involves Mario (Jack Black) saving the Princess (Naomi Watts) from Donkey Kong (Robin Williams). The role of Mario was originally offered to Bob Hoskins, who played the character in the 1993 movie, Super Mario Bros., but turned it down, stating "I am a serious actor now."
Johnny Depp stars as Mrs. Doubtfire.
89.Mrs. Doubtfire
(2004) Tim Burton unleashes a new twist on the classic movie. Sadistic serial killer and family man Daniel Hillard (Johnny Depp) is in the midst of a bitter divorce with his wife Miranda (Helena Bonham-Carter), when he poses as a nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire in order to see his kids more often.
88.I Love Lucy
(2007) In this Spike Lee joint, Lucy (Rue McClanahan) is jealous of Ricky (Ricky Gervais), who has signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Warner Bros. to make some movies. Also stars Paul Shaffer as Fred and P.J. Soles as Ethel.
87.A Clockwork Orange
(2008) Zac Efron takes over the Malcolm McDowell role in this controversial remake of Stanley Kubrick's controversial 1971 film. Young serial killer Alex De Large (Efron) is released from the sanitarium, declared reformed. He then goes on a killing spree, committing unspeakable acts to the High School Musical soundtrack. Featuring the Radio Disney hit, "I'm Gonna Kill Y'all!" Directed by Randal Kleiser (Grease).
86.Lord of the Rings
(2010, 2011, 2012) Directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard (Halloween 5). Need I say more?
85.Alien
(2001) This Steven Spielberg remake of the Ridley Scott science fiction thriller stars Drew Barrymore in the Sigourney Weaver role, and John Hurt as Elliot. Instead of a hostile alien, the title monster just wants to "phone home." This disappointed many fans of the original and its sequels. Also, the film was rated PG whereas the original was R.
84.Nineteen Eighty-Four
(1985) Having been released one year after the title year, this film gave a more realistic account of what really happened in 1984
Rob Zombie's Back to the Future starring Daeg Faerch and Malcolm McDowell.
83.Back to the Future
(2007) Rob Zombie directed this remake, starring Malcolm McDowell as crackpot scientist Doc Brown, who invents a Hummer time machine. His teenage friend Marty McFly (Daeg Faerch) ends up in the year 1977 and meets his future parents, George (Bruce Campbell) and Lorraine (Sherri Moon Zombie). Notice how Rob uses the same people over and over again.
82.Who Framed SpongeBob SquarePants?
(2004) Nickelodeon bought the rights to the Touchstone Pictures property, but couldn't cough up the rights to Roger Rabbit, so they had to use their own property. They settled on SpongeBob, because he was a character that kids could identify with. When SpongeBob is accused of murder, he hires Detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Saget) to find the real murderer, Judge Doom (Christopher Walken).
81.Rocko's Modern Life
(2005) Nickelodeon sold the rights to their classic property to Dimension Films, and this was the resulting film. When the citizens of O-Town are murdered one by one, Rocko (Paul Hogan), Heffer (David Arquette), and Filburt (Horatio Sanz) must find the killer before he finds them. Also stars Henry Winkler as Ed Bighead, Bea Arthur as Bev Bighead, Kenan and Kel as the Chameleon Brothers, Luciano Pavarotti as the Wild Pig, Roseanne as the Hippo Lady, Kathy Bates as Dr. Hutchison, and Sherman Hemsley as Really Really Big Man. Anthony Hopkins plays the killer.
This live-action film was a huge hit with Rocko fans and horror enthusiasts, but mainstream critics slammed the film. Roger Ebert called it "a pile of crap." Gene Shalit proclaimed the film, "The worst movie ever made! Worse than Halloween III!"
80.Houseguest
(2004) This remake of the Sinbad/Phil Hartman comedy stars Kevin James as a man -- on the run from the Mafia -- who poses as the dentist friend of a family man (John Voigt). The original was considered to be bad enough by critics and audiences.
79.The Jeffersons
(1995) George Jefferson (Sinbad) works for a dry cleaner when his wife Weezy (Queen Latifah) announces that they are "movin' on up" with a maid named Florence (Whoopi Goldberg). Also stars Adam Sandler in the Paul Benedict role. Directed by Oliver Stone.
78.Jaws
(2003) When a giant C.G.I. shark attacks the beaches of Amity, it is up to Sheriff Brody (Ashton Kutcher), fisherman Quint (50 Cent), and Richard Dreyfuss (Will Ferrell) to stop it. Directed by Michael Bay. John Williams theme is replaced by hip-hop beats.
77.Night Court
(2006) A day in the lives of Judge Harry Stone (Jeff Daniels), Dan Fielding (Jack Nicholson), Bull Shannon (Michael Chiklis), Christine Sullivan (Paris Hilton), and Roz the Bailiff (Cedric the Entertainer). Directed by David Fincher for no apparent reason. The film has no real plot, and the film flopped. The only thing that resembled a plot involved Bull—having had 12 bottles of water—having to wait until court was dismissed to pee. Hilarity ensues. The funniest scene in the whole movie is the overly long diarrhea scene with Harry Stone [1].
76.Welcome Back, Kotter
(2008) When a former Sweathog named Gabe Kotter (Patrick Stewart) returns to his former high school as a teacher, he ends up teaching a bunch of Sweathogs: Vinnie Barbarino (Peter O'Toole), Freddy "Boom Boom" Washington (Morgan Freeman), Juan Epstein (John Leguizamo), and nerdy Arnold Horshack (Michael Caine). Also stars Peter Falk as Mr. Woodman.
75.A Nightmare on Elm Street
(1999) Starring Nathan Lane as Freddy. Directed by Wes Craven.
74. Thelma & Louise
(1997) Starring Kenan and Kel as Thelma and Louise, respectively. Brad Pitt is replaced with The Fonz, because, really, everybody loves The Fonz. Aaaaay!
Unfortunately, lack of promotion and lack of a script led to this film's ill-fated box office receipts, and the sequel went straight-to-video.
Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, and Ozzy Osbourne star in #73.
73.The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
(2001) Peyton Flanders (Julie Andrews, taking over the Rebecca De Mornay role) may seem like the perfect nanny, but that was before she met the Bartel family (Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne). Peyton became jealous of everything they had that she had always wanted, but never got. She decided to get her revenge through violence and murder. So much for a spoonful of sugar. Also stars Dick Van Dyke as Bert, the chimney sweep.
72.Nancy Drew
(2007) When Warner Bros. Pictures bought the rights from Nickelodeon, they decided to give Harriet the Spy a complete makeover. Harriet would no longer need her nanny, Golly (Rosie O'Donnell in the original), nor would she need her friends Sport (Gregory Smith in the original) and Janie (Vanessa Lee Chester in the original). In fact, they changed Harriet's name to Nancy Drew. Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Harriet in the 1996 film, was against the whole idea, and refused to sign on. She was replaced by Eric Roberts' no-talent daughter, who is also Julia's no-talent niece.
The film actually bore no resemblance to the Michelle Trachtenberg vehicle, and failed to reach its intended audience.
71.Small Soldiers
(2009) A group of 300 action figures led by Major Chip Hazard (Gerard Butler) must stop a larger group of action-figure villains, with the help of Shia Lebauf and Meagan Fox, while yelling out ridiculous lines such as "THIIIIIIIS IIIIIIIIIS HAZZZZAAAAARRRRRRD!!!" Executive produced by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg. Directed by Zack Snyder.
70.1.The Wicker Man
(2006) NOOOO! NOT THE BEES! Nicolas Cage says that to almost every woman before beating them up while running around in a bear suit. 'Nuff said.
70.Vandalism from IP addresses
(1971) A group of losers (Clint Eastwood, Malcolm McDowell, Donald Pleasence, Charles Bronson, and Sidney Poitier), get bored and visit Uncyclopedia, vandalizing every page. Hilarity and stupidity ensue in this Stanley Kubrick film, a remake of a little-known 1968 French porn movie.
Ivan Reitman's Family Guy
69.Family Guy
(2003) Peter Griffin (Tom Arnold) and his wife Lois (Fran Drescher) go to Las Vegas and leave their children home alone. Meanwhile, bumbling bandits Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are burglarizing the Griffins' home. Also stars Lassie as Brian Griffin, Michelle Trachtenberg as Meg, Adam West as himself, Richard Pryor as Cleveland, Steven Segal as Joe, Macaulay Culkin as Chris, and Anthony Hopkins as Stewie. Features Pee-wee Herman as Quagmire. Directed by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters).
68.Woodstock
(1999) Not really a remake, nor a sequel, this documentary takes place thirty years after the original Woodstock concert. Starring Slipknot as Jefferson Airplane, Disturbed as Bob Dylan, Red Hot Chili Peppers as The Who, and Fred Durst as Jimi Hendrix.
67.The 2007 MTV Video Music Awards
(2016) Britney Spears (Dakota Fanning) opens up the show performing her new single, "Gimme More." Sarah Silverman (Jami Gertz) hosts the event. Performances include the Foo Fighters (Pussycat Dolls), Rhianna (Eartha Kitt), and Fall Out Boy (Josh Server).
66.Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
(1989) Although technically the sequel to Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, this film is still essentially a remake. Dominique Othenin Girard directed this behemoth of a bad remake. Donald Pleasence (as Dr. Loomis) gave the best performance in the whole film, but that isn't really saying much. Danielle Harris reprized her role as Jamie Lloyd, and Ellie Cornell came back as Rachel Ray. Michael Myers was played by Mike Myers.
Arnold Schwarzenegger butchers Gandhi.
65.Home Alone
(1999) Kevin McCalister (Haley Joel Osment) sees dead people (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern). Also stars Bruce Willis as Mr. McCalister.
64.The Lyin' King
(2004) In this documentary, Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart, and George W. Bush fight to the death to be crowned the lyin' king. Martha Stewart doesn't make the final cut. Directed by Michael Moore.
63.Gandhi
(2002) The Indian civil rights activist (Arnold Schwarzenegger, replacing Ben Kingsley) terminates everybody in an effort to win India its independence. Directed by James Cameron. This movie is considered by top critics as the worst ever made, in general, not just as a remake.
62.H*A*S*H
(1981) Cheech and Chong score some pot in this loose remake of M*A*S*H. During the Korean War, the stoner duo fears that the government will outlaw medical marijuana.
61.Gumby
(1984) Bruce Willis plays the title character, who, with his friends Pokey and Prickle, must find a terrorist on Christmas Eve. When the movie was in pre-production, Eddie Murphy (who played Gumby in the Saturday Night Live skit) dropped out, citing scheduling conflicts and a poor script. Directed by Harold Ramis.
Charlie Brown (Bruce Willis) kills Linus (Alan Rickman) in a scene from #60.
60.Peanuts
(1985) After achieving modest success with Gumby, Bruce Willis followed up the critically-panned movie with another live-action children's cartoon adaptation. When Paramount Pictures made this movie, Peanuts, the role of Charlie Brown was originally offered to Richard Moll (who played the dimwitted, bald bailiff Bull Shannon on Night Court), but he turned it down because he hated shaving his head. Willis got the role, costarring alongside Alan Rickman (Linus) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Lucy). Eddie the Dog, who played Snoopy, later went on to star as the dog on Frasier. Directed by Harold Ramis.
59.Singing in the Rain
(1995) Some drunk hobo off the street named Bob (himself) sings in the rain and warns people that "the end is near. A purple elephant told me so," before being nabbed by the police. Unfortunately, this was not a movie.
58.Jews
(2006) Mel Gibson's remake of Jaws blames the Jews for the shark attacks. The end. Critics found the movie to be highly offensive and the film was soon pulled from theaters after mediocre box office receipts.
57.Honey, I Ate the Kids
(1992) After the success of Silence of the Lambs, Disney felt they needed to revamp the Rick Moranis Honey I Shrunk… movies. Wacky inventor Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) invents a machine that shrinks humans to a smaller size suitable for eating. One day, while his wife Clarice (Jodie Foster) is at work, Hannibal gets hungry and decides to eat the kids. The film sparked controversy from conservative parents claiming the subject matter was not appropriate for a children's movie. The film was actually rated R.
Disney's Halloween.
56.Disney's Halloween
(2004) Disney took a stab (pardon the pun) at making an animated version of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween. They originally wanted to collaborate with Pixar, but it didn't work out. "The animation sucked," says Michael Eisner, "Michael Myers looked like an albino Michelle Trachtenberg! And we hated Randy Newman's songs he had written." Newman had written the songs "You've Got a Knife in You" and "Shape People" for inclusion in the movie, but the songs were quickly rejected.
Disney teamed up with Dimension Films, who legally own the rights to the Halloween Franchise, and they knew one advantage to an animated film. "You don't really have to hire anybody to play Michael Myers," says Eisner. The animators used traditional cell animation and hired the usual Disney actors to play the roles.
David Ogden Stiers (M*A*S*H, Beauty & the Beast, Tarzan) voiced Michael's psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Loomis. Jodie Benson (Ariel in The Little Mermaid) voiced Laurie Strode, Michael's younger sister and intended target; she also voiced Lynda. Gilbert Gottfried (Iago the Parrot in the Aladdin movies) played Annie. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, The Santa Clause movies, Jungle 2 Jungle, Wild Hogs) played Bob, Lynda's boyfriend. John Ratzenberger (Hamm in the original Toy Story movies) provided the voice for Sheriff Brackett.
Randy Newman decided he would write better songs, but they were still rejected. Finally, Disney settled on John Carpenter, who agreed to home back after divorcing himself from the franchise for several years. The film was still a flop, as it lacked everything that made the original so special. Roger Ebert exclaimed, "Not until this day have I seen a remake that was any worse that Psycho. Disney's Halloween is that film."
55.Dora the Explorer: The Movie
See main article.
Crispin Glover in Groundhog Day.
54.Groundhog Day
(1997) After the success of Scream, it was soon realized that some holidays were never made into horror films. They knew that Halloween, Friday the 13th, April Fool's Day, New Year's Eve, and Valentine's Day were already taken. Finally, they settled on remaking an established movie, Groundhog Day. Though not a horror movie, this comedy (the original) starred Bill Murray as a man forever reliving the same day over and over again.
The remake, a dark and grisly horror-thriller, starred Crispin Glover as a wannabe dictator who works as a weatherman on the local news in Pennsylvania, when he grows envious of the groundhog. He is then cursed by a gypsy to relive Groundhog Day for all eternity. Horror ensues. Harold Ramis, who directed the original, did not approve of the remake, and therefore did not participate. The film was written and directed by Wes Craven.
53.Austin Powers
(2009) The shagedelic 1960s spy (Michael Myers) goes on a bloody rampage against his nemesis, Dr. Evil (Donald Pleasence in archive footage). Hilarity and horror ensue. Directed by Rob Zombie.
52.Office Space
(2021) Michael Bay makes Milton (Played by Ben Affleck) burning down INItech a huge explosion, and any form of dialogue is replaced with huge explosions, and makes Michael Bolton, Samir, and Peter fly into space to destroy INItech's satellite, and give it a multi-million dollar virus. Lumbergh is played by Bruce Willis and Joanna by Liv Tyler. The Soundtrack composed by Aerosmith.
51.The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
(2005) No good, but packed with plenty of bad and ugly. William Hung plays Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name and performs the music of Ennio Morricone. Directed by Uwe Boll.
50.The Wizard of Oz
(2004) The Scarecrow (played by George W. Bush), Tin Man (played by Dick Cheney), and Lion (played by various members of the Democrat majority in Congress) need a brain, a heart, and some courage respectively. Tony Blair plays Dorothy. Special cameo guest appearance by Ann Coulter as the Wicked Bitch of the Right. Michael Moore (who also directed) plays the Wizard. Harriet Miers was originally cast as the Wizard, but withdrew from the project.
Star Trek: The Musical
49.Star Trek: The Musical
(1968) Do we even need to explain this one to you? Kirk (William Shatner) "sings" "Rocket Man" and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) sings "Bilbo Baggins." This movie made as much money as their albums did… none.
48.Freddie vs. Jason
(2006) Freddie Prinze Jr. fights Jason Lee for no apparent reason. They take their shirts off, then put them back on again after they realize they ain't so good looking.
Wallace Shawn is… The Terminator!
47.Who's Your Caddy?
(2007) A black version of Caddyshack.
46.The Terminator

Throughout this past summer, in the long-suffering hills of western Rwanda, legions of farmers toiled at their sloped plots. With hoes and axes, they crafted flat, wide terraces and a simple water-management system that would keep valuable topsoil in place. Their efforts were part of a $800 million investment program supported by the United States and other international donors that is meant to boost Rwanda's agricultural production and reduce its dependence on food aid. The farmers were reshaping their land in the hope that a new watershed, along with better-quality seeds and fertilizer, would double or triple their harvests of corn, potatoes, beans, and rice by the next season.
As he patrolled the hillsides one day last June, Innocent Musabyimana, the project's manager in the Ministry of Agriculture, expressed a kind of desperate optimism. "To make our agriculture sustainable, we have to do this," he said. "Ninety percent of the country is like this, all hills. If we don't do anything, in 40 years, with the erosion, the farms will be gone." Musabyimana opened his arms wide. "This," he said, taking in the sweeping panorama, "is our future."
He meant the future of Rwanda and the future of Africa. But he might as well have been talking about the future of the world, too. For what is happening on the hills near Lake Kivu is at the vanguard of an effort to reverse years of neglect in agricultural development, tackle widespread chronic hunger, and satisfy the world's ever-expanding appetite.
Malthusian predictions that relentless population growth will outstrip food production and trigger starvation worldwide have recurred over the centuries. They have come and then gone as farmers have deployed new technologies to increase food output. Even now, enough food is being produced to adequately feed every person on the planet; the fact that nearly one billion people are nonetheless going hungry is a damning indictment of the world's food-distribution system. But since demand is growing, production will also have to increase in the years

Abstract: For that the maize endosperm weight is about 80%-85% of corn grain, endosperm cell division and growth condition determines seed weight and quality. While the plant endosperm is a highly programmed process, and is precisely controlled in many aspects, its development and regulation mechanism is the frontier scientific issue in the field of reproductive and developmental biology.
