For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Riders of Justice (2020), an action-comedy about a group of Danish dudes who become convinced that a train crash was the fault of some secret bad guys, and they go on a roaring rampage of revenge together. Unfortunately for them, they are new to this whole action-hero thing, and make many bumbling errors along the way. What if living out your own action-movie fantasy was a form of therapy? This movie aims to show just that. This is the best-known and best-regarded work of director Anders Thomas Jensen to date.
After that is The Princess Diaries (2001), the story of a frumpy teenage girl (Anne Hathaway) who unexpectedly finds herself the heir to a fictional European monarchy, and her subsequent training to become the perfect class enemy. Will she succeed, or will she go back to being a normal girl? The suspense is killing me. Director Garry Marshall is better known for the Julia Roberts vehicle Pretty Woman (1990). Letterboxd loves this movie, so let’s give it a whirl.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
