Good thing I’m not in Rome right now; I would be very unhappy about the movies that are playing. It’s been this way all summer; barely an Italian movie to be found. They’re saving up all the good stuff for Venice, I’m hoping!
Today at my favorite movie theater, The Adriano on Piazza Cavour:
I Tre Marmittoni, or as we know them here, The Three Stooges. “Marmittone”, I had to look that one up and it means “rookie”? (Maybe it’s one of those idiomatic things that I don’t get..)
Il Cammino Per Santiago, or rather, Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen’s The Way. (And by the way, Italians, save your money – it’s one of the most pretentious, pointless movies I have seen in a long time).
The Dittatore, The Dictator from Sacha Baron Cohen.
L’amore Dura Tre Anni, Love Lasts Three Years, from France and dubbed from French; The original title was L’amour Dure Trois Ans.
La Cosa, The Thing from John Carpenter.
Lorax – or as we called it, The Lorax.
In the US it’s just Project X, but in Italy, it’s Project X, Una Festa Che Spacca (A party that rocks – my translation; correct me if I’m mistaken).
Quell’idiota di Nosto Fratello – Our Idiot Brother
Rock of Ages
The Amazing Spiderman, and The Amazing Spiderman 3D
I Love Italian Everything
