i have decided to at this stage look into the idea of world cinema remakes in Hollywood in order to research this i have decided to perhaps look at specific films and directors and compare them together for example the ring and grudge films as both of these films were made in japan and than remade in Hollywood by the original director which could be interesting to look at in terms of the movies values and weather the director overcame to Hollywood pressures and changed the movies intention and or values/ideology/style which may be unique to the films original country which it was made in .
in order to make it easier for my investigation i have devised i question which will help me explore my topic
why are Hollywood remakes of world cinema features successful ?

this has developed well, with two suggestions-
1. your question is a bit 'loaded'- it reads as if it's a given that they are successful. 'what makes some remakes successful?' could be better?
2. this could be a sub-question of the wider topic- don't narrow your paramaters too much- you don't want to lose access to other interesting questions- like the one raised in your first blog about how directors carry their style from their own film-cultures into Hollywood.
3. the films you mention are interesting, but need comparing with examples where the original has been altered more, or might be (eg the possible remake of Oldboy)!
4. whether not weather!
happy xmas
