Why? Why the hell does everybody have to "contemporize" all these classic properites? 5-0 would have been SO cool if they'd left it set in early '70s Hawaii. Like Ocean's 11 - sure, the original wasn't a great movie, but the remake coulda been set in 'early 60s Vegas and been more than just another techno-heist movie... Blech

What would they have to show as contemporary Hawaiian locations anyway? GAP stores, Hardrock Cafe and Banana Republic? That way they can shoot it anywhere....
