Fun Movies
Two movies I think you'll like
both 'instant watch' available
One funny, the other a love story -
sort of
My first selection pour
vous is OSS
117: Lost in Rio
(OSS 117: Rio Ne Répond Plus) It's a parody of James Bond and I
just
loved it. This guy is the smarmiest, most chauvinistic and
politically
incorrect character I've ever seen. It's as if Joe Biden WAS James
Bond. Here's a comment that very nearly captures every word I
could
add.
“
Here's
a fun French farce which parodies the 007 films and is
DEFINITELY NOT politically correct similar to the earlier OSS 117 Cairo
movie. However, this one is set in Rio and pokes fun at Nazis,
Americans, Israeli, and Chinese. Although filmed in 2009, it does a
great job of imitating a 60's film. Just a pleasant romp for weekend
fun.
I watched this
solo. The next night I watched it again with
MoSup. What more can I say by way of recommendation? You can view
the trailer here, but
my advice is don't. Go into it cold. MoSup falls asleep
during a lot of movies; not this one. I indeed gave it 5 stars,
and am surprised Hollywood hasn't covered this already.

Have seen this Audrey Tautou, film. It's quirky, no? She's also great in Amelie. Your Bond film sounds fun! Will watch. Two views seen here lately, The Tunnel and The Lives of Others. Both German, both cold war, both reminding me of where we're headed. BTW, am at 26 days w/o TV...and....counting. Not sure I want to start a two year contract w/Dish for the five months we'll be in this no cable zone of FL. Poor Mr. Juice = has. no. football. What say ye? ITMT, thank goodness for Netflix.
I saw Audrey in Amelie, too. I loved that movie. I think she is a wonderful actress. Might just have to breakdown and get a netflix account.
Juice- We went without TV for a few months after dropping Direct TV. Finally, got AT&T U-verse. College football is what pushed our decision. We've been happy with the service.
Juice, go to ebay and buy a Dish or Direct box. Cheapo for <$50 or with recorder for more... Make SURE it has no 'balance due' on it or it will not be able to be authorized for use. Now, you can sign up for month-at-a-time service. You won't get the install nor the 'free' HBO etc, but you will get football. You may have to buy a dish and LNBF also, but they are not expensive. After you are done, you can sell it back on ebay. Dish installation is not very difficult. And, you have an enthusiastic installer... tomw
