I don't see how that's possible. Good luck!
Not confident in Sir Ron Howard, durd?
I'm not a big fan in general and I think this one in particular looks like a disaster. Hope I'm wrong, though.
You're probably right, but I'm sucker for ocean movies.
Which is sorta ironic. :lol:
My fear is also a compulsion.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

All I've learned from RM today is that I don't have a tremendous love for Ocean movies. Apparently. :?

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about Capturing the Friedmans.
While, yes, it's a great film and there was undoubtedly some coerced testimony against them, it was also clear that the father "liked" young children. I do feel it may have been a bit too sympathetic towards the Friedmans.

It's set (and was filmed) in my hometown, and the actors portayed people I know. It's a shit movie that puts a very Hollywood spin on the actual events.
I just liked the part where they all drowned.
