Catherine Zeta-Jones came into my bedroom this evening; I rented her movie based on cooking from the iTunes rental service. No glitches, this time; I ordered the non-HD version, which looked fine, but with the black bands at the top. I’m glad I didn’t get the higher-resolution version, as this movie was a stinker.

The film was based on the book and earlier movie entitled Mostly Martha. Why do a remake so soon? The original was in German. But it was a far better film.

I, in fact, have never seen just a bad re-make; they even copied some of the same music. They could have taken the same story, but adopted it, and made some changes.

A friend at work considers Martha her favorite movie; she already warned me not to watch this one. Oh well. I still like the idea of iTunes rentals better than going to a store. I scored there.
