That is almost the exact opposite of the Running Man Book vs Movie. In the book, he was just a down on his luck out of work guy going on the show to get medicine for a sick kid. In the movie, we get Arnold... The audiobook was on youtube and worth a listen.
Despite the bad acting and plot holes... I enjoy Arnold movies. Just for his funny accent. Tom Cruise just ruins movies and he takes himself too seriously. Like Vanilla Sky which was a terrible remake of the excellent Spanish movie Abre los Ojos.
I saw this last night (again): In the wake of all the shootings it is a good movie to see. The Class (2007 Estonia).
I watched that and it was really bad. IMHO. The original was not really something to get upset if you missed it.
I have that on DVD. Might watch it tomorrow. Instead of going out with the carzy drivers in this area.
I have been in the den for a while, just was to lazy to change Chanel , it sucked, as I thought the other one did also.
You never no whats real or Hollywood. The issue I had with the film, most of it's done in the dark. Really hard to see whats going on. Hence the title "Zero Dark Thirty"
Saw Non-Stop w/ Liam Neeson today. Pretty good. Always liked movies confined to small spaces like a prison, submarine - or as in this case an airplane. Liam Neeson did a good job playing his standard "Liam Neeson character".
It most certainly was. I had already read the book, to which it was fairly true. The acting was subtle, which was precisely what was called for.
The wife and I watched a movie called " The Scapegoat", it was a British Movie on PBS, I think I slept thru most of it "She Who Must be Obeyed" said it was worth watching so maybe later today or tomorrow. What I saw of it seemed interesting.
