Haven't seen MB, sounds like I need to,huh?
Is it something that Blockbuster would have in stock, or do I just bite the bullet and order it from Amazon, assuming they have it?
Amazing Alex, just transforms himself with each role.
I bought mine from Amazon... along with Oyster Farmer. A friend said Netflix has it.
And
Pgal and
Lisa... ya gotta watch it. Alex is kick-ass in every way.
It's not that bad. It's a period drama about the founding of the penal colony in Oz... granted, this was not a pretty story at that point in time and the Bryants made... sacrifices. The whole colony suffered in various ways... and the voyage over was no picnic... as those kinds of voyages in those ships never were... and the ending isn't what we would have voted for, had we been given a vote. But Alex's performance is totally worth it, including the ending.
But
Phee says Aussie men have great booties cause of all the hard work... so think of it as developing the gene pool that produced Mr. O'Loughlin... and know that all our ancestors in the 18th century had lesser lives than our own... unless you are descended from royalty.
Watch it. YOu'll cry... but you'll like the story and you'll LOVE Will Bryant.
ETA: I see Lisa's plan for tomorrow... that is an example of how 18th century folks lived tougher lives than us...
And now all I can think about is why he's fully clothed on a beach in MB but in Whiteout he's running around Antartica in nothing but boots and a hat.
