Movie Rentals Of The Week/Month
Ok, in here you speak about, which movies that you rented, and is recommended for others to pick up. So, type what rentals are worth renting every week or month. Maybe, you have seen a movie, long time ago but, you can't get it anywhere else, except you could rent it at. You could also list thoughs.
Well, today "The Interpreter" and "Amityville Horror" dropped as well as some other, smaller titles. I'm able to rent movies via Pre-Street, since I got my job at Hollywood, and saw a few before they were out.
"My Summer of Love" - A great British indie about two girls on opposite ends of the spectrum. One is from a scrappy Irish family, the other, a posh, private school girl. They become quick friends, and lovers to an extent, and learn life lessons from one another, with a really unexpected ending.
"The Interpreter" - Nicole Kidman acts as a UN Ambassasor/Interpreter, and comes under fire, alleged to have a hand in a planned assassination set to take place at the next UN Summit. Sean Penn plays a field operative who is assigned to protect Kidman's character. It was rather slow and boring, with a few moments of suspense. But overall, not worth renting, IMO.
"The Man With the Screaming Brain" - I guess all Bruce Campbell fans will see this, but I personally thought it was dreadful. Totallu unfunny, Bruce's character was uninteresting, and the story had been done before previously in "The Man With Two Brains", to an extent, only it was actually FUNNY! There was never any "screaming" to speak of, it was a very medicore attempt, and another one I wouldn't really suggest.
"Alien Apocalypse" - Another Bruce Campbell shitfest, only this time, he gad Gabby from Xena to tag along, as he fought off "aliens", which were actually giant, oversized green grasshoppers that ate human heads, and had horrible dialogue. Skip it entirely, unless you're a glutton for visual punishment.

That's correct.

You lucky bastard.Thats my dream job when I become of age.But I will go to blockbuster just because i like their selection better and because they get to see movie rentals a week before they come out also.
Or the theater.Where I work there able to see the movie the night before they come out.
I recommend "The Interpreter".A great deeply intriging political thriller with great performances by Kidman and Penn (who I often find annoying but he's tolerable in this film )
I've got the rental priviledges at Hollywood as well, that's how I saw all 4 of those movies before today. By the time you could work at a video store, they'll probably be extinct. Blockbuster, Movie Gallery, and Hollywood Video all require applicants to be 18 or older.
I didn't find "The Interpreter" engaging or intriguing at all. It was about 35 minutes too long, and more dramatic than anything. Stretched an already very thin plot way too far, IMO.
