Now that I'm spoiled, I have to go see it. It's like FernGully meets Colonial House .
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now I understand the need for the viral marketing.
For this turkey to make money, the virus would need to be as infectious and compelling as the one in 28 Days Later. Their only hope is that it pays for itself during the first showing Friday night, before people exiting the theater can tell the ones coming in for the late show what happens.
She overacts Patience's flaky timidity and then, to compensate, overdoes catwoman's suave self-confidence, swinging her hips and pushing out her lips as if she were trying to attract the amorous attentions of Pepe le Pew.
I'm now visualizing the cartoon scene where the cat bathes in limburger cheese to become a match for Pepe, sets out in search of him, and wilts potted plants to the sides of the door when she makes her entrance. I suspect a similar odor will be emanating from Halle's performance.

Has anyone else read George Sanders' short story "Pastoralia"?
because that's what The Village sounds like to me now. Only it probably isn't funny. (Or about cavemen.)

It's really a movie about women. So tonight a million men will drag their girlfriends to see "Catwoman" and will walk out saying, "Wasn't that stupid?" but the women will know: It's not.
Um. Beg to differ.

Triffids could be killed by salt water.
No they couldn't. No way. Uh-uh. Naw. I can't hear you. LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa
Can you guess the extent to which I hate that Howard Keel monstrosity?

Hmmmm.
OTOH, yay, Hazel & Foxglove!
On the other ... didn't like Parish or Priestley or Deacon or Bible or whatever his name is much on the page (which I know is intentional). Not sure I want to see him onscreen.
ETA: Sexton. I was thematically, if not phonetically, accurate.
