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.

"The Polar Express," a holiday fable featuring a computer-animated Tom Hanks as the train conductor, fell two places to No. 4 with $15.2 million, taking its total to $51 million after 12 days. The film cost a reported $270 million to make and market, prompting much speculation about its chances of turning a profit.
Oh, my God. Everyone should go see "Sideways" RIGHT NOW if you're lucky enough to have it play nearby. What a weird, funny, lovely, wise little film. It's sort of a spiritual cousin to Curtis Hanson's "Wonder Boys" (which I love), with more acute an ache in its center. I walked out of the theater with watery eyes, a bad case of over-identification with its sad-sack protagonist, and craving for that perfect bottle of Pinot Noir, nevermind I know next to nothing about wine.
Circuit City is selling the new Harry Potter DVD (Prisoner of Azkaban) for only $14.99, for two days only (Tuesday and Wednesday - Tuesday is also the release date).
The first two HP movies are aso $14.99 - that's the regular (not limited) price.
They are also releasing a box set of the first three movies on Tuesday, tomyrot, but I don't know if the box set is cheaper or not.
Just came back from seeing "Finding Neverland". That's the most I cried in the theater since "Return of the King".
This was almost me in the preview for "Finding Neverland". I can't wait.

Vonnie, I just saw it 3 hours ago. I liked it, but not as much as I expected to. Though it gave me a wicked jones for wine, and a desperate need to get back out to wine country.
I gotta say, though, I have never ever ever liked Thomas Hayden Church in anything ever ever ever.
I really liked him in this. A whole damn lot.
HUDSON HAWK is just about the most underrated gem ever. I suspect if it had been a huge hit, I might feel very different about it, but becuase it got so much derision, I felt protective.
I must commune with the dolphins. eiyeieieieieyieieeeyeeiieyieiyeyieyeiye!!!!!
Oh! Before I forget again -- Touching the Void the documentary/recreation of a very fateful climbing expedition in the Andes, will be showing on PBS this week. Probably the most suspenseful film you'll see all year, even despite the fact that the two narrators/protagonists lived through it. Both Nutty and I were blown away by the film in the theatre.
