Well, I actually paid 13.80 Euros (about $18.00 at today's exchange rate) for 2 tickets for us to see Australia, a 2.5-hour movie that was chased out of American first-run theaters months ago. My review? Meh. It was a not-bad movie struggling to get out from under a not-entirely-awful movie, one that desperately wants to be Gone With The Wind, but is more like Pearl Harbor. It's one of the rare movies I've seen where the sum of a couple of parts is better than the whole-- the acting was uniformly excellent, the cinematography was magnificent (the scenery just won't translate to a small screen when it comes to DVD), it had some great action scenes... but was done in by uneven directing and a lousy storyline, with plot holes so large you could drive a truck through them. Would I recommend it? Eh, if it's at your local second run brewpub theater for $3.00, give it a go-- but remember the beer. Still... 2+ hours of straight English to these ears was a treat, even if the movie was merely average.

Hey, unless you earn US dollars, don't go converting currency. It is much more accurate to just give the price without a currency. That's what I do.
