31-10-2024I really enjoyed this movie very much. It was nice to have a modern take on the original. Dont get me wrong, the classic version is the best, but this movie is also good. It had diversity. French culture, and a black and white couple. It was easy to hate the bad guys in the original, but it was harder for me to hate the bad guys in this one. Roman made sure that Guy showed Rosemary the support she needed, and Margot was such a class A manipulator coated in sumptuous caramel. The acting was more realistic, and better in some areas. The characters seemed more real. Guy clearly held on to a lot of guilt, versus the original Guy portraying a heartless bastard- but of course we all know that John Cassavetes was luscious, yet excellent at portraying a bastard in some roles. I felt that the modern Rosemary was more trusting and easily sucked into the deception, and then it was too late. However, I felt that the modern Rosemary should have taken longer to piece together the puzzle. She had it pieced together in about ten minutes, whereas the original Rosemary really entertained us while she took some time to piece everything together, more suspense. I was expecting to see a mutated demon-from-hell baby, but was surprised to see an angelic baby that could be featured in a Huggies commercial. Overall, 4 stars.

Kanes Review
> 3 dayI dont know if anyone remembers or knows of NBCs Sunday Night At The Movies series that ran from 1981 to 2000 but when the first half of this first aired on Sunday night on May 11th, I kind of felt like they were going a bit retro and I really enjoyed that. Sorry, Im a big nostalgia fan! This 2 part mini-series remakes, stars Zoe Saldana as the soon to be trouble mother, Rosemary, while Patrick J. Adams stars as her husband, Guy. In this remake, Rosemary and Guy move from New York City to Paris, France and rent out an admirable apartment, looking to start their lives over together. Soon after they find comfort in locals and neighbors Roman and Margaux Castevet who become very involved in their lives. Rosemary ends up becoming pregnant, while Guys career as a writer, elevates. Meanwhile, Guys co-worker, Julie as well as Margaux begin spending a lot of time with Rosemary and Margaux informs Rosemary that herbs and holistics will help with her pregnancy. After Margaux performs a spell on soup that she was preparing for Rosemary, Rosemarys health declines in the worst way and she ends up in the hospital. After Rosemary miraculously recovers, she becomes suspicious of her doctor and the Castevets and feels that theres more to this evil French couple than theyre letting on. After Rosemary discovers a shocking revelation about the apartment theyre living in, its past, and an evil secret about Roman Castevet, she pleads with Guy to leave France but he thinks its all in her mind. Along the way, Rosemarys closest peers who get too closely bonded with Rosemary to try and help her, are met with unfortunate and gruesome deaths. Once Rosemary puts the pieces together, she realizes what the Castevets are up to and how her soon to be born baby is linked to Satan himself. Overall: Despite what the negative critics may say, this mini-series remake was a treat to watch. Unlike the movie, this setting takes place outside of the US and in France, which adds an overall exciting and different element with the characters involved in this. Because both 2 hour episodes equal 4 hours, you may tend to lose a bit of focus at times but its not long before it grabs your attention again as the plot thickens and so do our characters. In addition, I was also expecting there to be quite a bit of controversy about Saldana playing the main character as Rosemary due to racial reasons, but fortunately, there were none....that I know of. Overall, youll have to build up the courage to keep yourself watching this for 4 hours, otherwise you may lose interest in it. I cant speak for everyone, but I truly enjoyed this remake of the original and cant wait for it to be released on DVD
