"The Book Thief" "Sophie Scholl - The Final Days"

I'm not a movie critic so I can't do them justice. But they were both great DVD's and I highly recommend them......You might be able to get them at your local library........

My wife probably has them.

I recently purchased the Rifftracks commentary version of Megaforce.

Thank you.
I didn't even know a movie had been made about Sophie Scholl.
I'll definitely be looking for them.

I saw “The Book Thief” and it had limited or no play in theaters for a good reason. Theaters want movies that will make them money, not put the audiences to sleep. However if you are a history buff or like slow, boring period pieces I guess it would be okay. It had a lot of appeal to the Jonathan Gruber wing of IMDB, the type of reviewers who think the movie is a masterpiece but the general American moviegoer is too stupid to understand it. It’s a typical minority reaction to a flop.

"...I recently purchased the Rifftracks commentary version of Megaforce...."

I just laughed heartily in my cube over that comment.

Isn’t Megaforce the one that had machine guns installed on motorcycles?

I kinda get it mixed up with Invasion USA, wherein Cubans take over the USA, but the USA is depicted as a mall.

There's an old movie out there that is a pretty good metaphor for the Obama _residency. It's called "Putney Swope."

That’s the one. Don’t forget they were rocket equipped.

I read the ebook on my Nexus 7 of “The Book Thief”. I refuse to see the movie, i’m always disappointed the movie hardly ever comes close to the actual book.

18 minutes in and it is absolutely riveting.

As I stated, I'm not a movie critic so I don't know what you're talking about.........If it was a joke then I guess I missed it. Sorry........

Or the documentary, "Idiocracy".

I thought the movie “The Book Thief “ was a great movie. I did not read the book. I agree that it is usually very disappointing to see a movie after reading the book.
