Movies!
Okay, here is my Netflix Movie Update. Please write back with comments and suggestions for more movies:
The First Wives Club is one of my very favorite guilty-pleasure books. I love that book. How could a divorced woman NOT love that book? So I finally rented the movie. And within 15 minutes I had that disc sealed right back up in the Netflix envelope and out on the mailbox. How could they take such a good book and completely destroy it? Bette Midler played the only character remotely faithful to the book (and was wonderful). Ya know, making minor changes is one thing, but to try to re-create the book on completely different characters is a whole 'nother thing. The one thing making the rental worth it: Seeing a very young Victor Garber playing quite a dorky ex-husband.
Waiting to Exhale. ANOTHER waste of time! At least I sat through the entire movie, but GOD. Whitney Houston was terrible, the movie was poorly made. I did like two of the women and Gregory Hines is always A-Okay in my book, but overall it was another waste of 2 hours.
Finding Nemo. I never had any desire to see this in theaters but my kids made me rent it from Netflix. I wish I had seen this in theaters!!! I saw it three times over the weekend and ended up having dreams about Nemo and Dorie. That's when it's time to send the disc back, heh.
Dirty Pretty Things. HATED it. That's all I have to say about that one.
As you can see, we are on a very bad streak. Scott and I did see Meet the Fockers and absolutely loved it. And next on the Netflix list we have:
Get Shorty
Shattered Glass
About Schmidt
Tortilla Soup
Princess Mononoke
Any other suggestions? Or comments on my hatred of your favorite movie? Hee.
