bridget jones, the edge of reason - 06:47 PM
(filed under 'reviews')
a while ago i read the sequel to the first bridget jones book. when i heard that they were going to make a movie of it, i was quite excited, because i quite enjoyed the first movie. in fact, i read the first book after i saw the first movie.
when i saw some of the promotional things about the movie & saw that they'd included the daniel cleaver character, who most definitely does not make an appearance in the book, i was really disappointed & thought they'd kind of 'sold out'. i almost made a vow to not watch the second movie because i was that annoyed.
however, we just saw it on dvd & i'm pleased to say they actually did a nice job of inserting him into the story line without totally changing it, so i'm not that disappointed after all.
it was a pretty good movie. don't take my word for it though, because i'm a bit of a movie slut. i'll watch almost anything. mind you, it was definitely much better than starship troopers 2.

You really have to set the bar for your "at-least-it-was-better-than" a little higher I think. Comparing the other movies you see (even sequels) to Starshiptroopers 2 is like saying,
"Oh yeah, we had a good weekend. It was better than that time that I cut my hand off with a chainsaw."
Know what I mean?
