I haven’t seen this week’s movie. If you have, you should let me know if it is worth renting or not. It did receive pretty good reviews on both Amazon and iTunes. This week’s movie is Bandits (warning - iTunes link). It is rated PG-13 and will be on sale from 25 March until 01 April. Here is the movie descrption:
Chemistry and quirkiness–and a stellar cast–help make Barry Levinson’s Bandits more than just another comedy about ill-matched outlaws. Levinson’s deft touch in Rain Man is evident in the film’s road-movie structure, which follows bank robbers Joe (Bruce Willis) and Terry (Billy Bob Thornton) on a crime spree from Oregon to California. They’re eventually joined by an aspiring stuntman and getaway driver (Troy Garity, son of Jane Fonda) and a neglected housewife (Cate Blanchett) who falls in love with both Joe and Terry after escaping her boring marriage. As scripted by Twin Peaks alumnus Harley Peyton, Bandits shifts from character comedy to crime thriller with reckless abandon, and the humor (particularly Terry’s multiple neuroses) is occasionally forced and flat. Levinson compensates with offbeat moments of unexpected tenderness, allowing his cast to express depths of character not necessarily found in the script. A twist ending won’t surprise attentive viewers, but it gives Bandits the extra kick it needs.
That’s all for now, come back next week for the iTunes sale movie.
