The Counterfeiters.
Brief Synopsis: True Story. Nazis. Counterfeiting. What More Could You Ask For?
Comments: Well, it did win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, so that has to account for something, right? Dunno if I'll see it anytime soon, but I wouldn't mind checking it out at some point.
Viewing Option: Rent.
Nim's Island.
Brief Synopsis: Fantasy Movie With Abigail Breslin Who Lives On Deserted Island.
Comments: It looks almost too fantastical (and childish) for my tastes.
Viewing Option: TV or Skip.
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder.
Brief Synopsis: More Big Bugs!
Comments: I know the first has a big cult following, but... people actually saw the second one? I know I didn't.
Viewing Option: Skip.
Not only did my husband see the second Starship Troopers, he purchased it before watching it. Then he complained that it wasn't as good as the first. No sh*t! So now I'm stuck with that stupid DVD in my movie library:( I'm hoping and praying he will not find out about this second sequel.
ReplyDeleteI like to believe I've enlightened his life with better cinema, but then he does something like that (or the Transporter movies) and I lose all hope.
I've not seen the second Transporter (at least, not all of it - it was pretty brutal), nor have I seen either Starship sequel, but it's probably safe to say that "anything Transpoter >>> Starship sequels."
ReplyDeleteWhat does your husband think of Roadhouse, Rachel? And what do you think, for that matter?
As for these flicks, I say "Yes (in time), no thanks, and god no," in order.
Fletch, I have a dark confession to make: I've never seen all of Road House. Only the first 30 minutes one night on cable. I know my husband hasn't seen it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the Starship Troopers sequel(s) but kinda liked the original movie, in a weird way. It took a lot of motivation to stay awake during the first Transporter, so I knew the second would most likely put me under.
I've been looking forward to watching The Counterfeiters.
ReplyDeleteAlmost saw it in the theater, but it didn't work out, sadly.
