I had problems with Kiss the Girls, but that was possibly because of Patterson's story, and not any of the rest of it, but those problems seemed to seep out into the rest of the movie.
That, and a criminal waste of Jeremy Piven.

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.

I was thinking "What, they covered the Irish Rebellion in a space movie?'
Oh, me too! Me too!
I've not liked much of anything Cary Elwes has done besides TPB. I mean, he doesn't always pulsate bright green in his not-right-ness, but he's never impressed me, either.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I also loved Elwes in Hot Shots, Part Deux. He's wonderful at farce.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
There are some really odd choices on that list.

Also, when Carey Elwes is not in Princess Bride or Robin Hood: Men In Tights, he's not a very good actor.
This is what I think, too. He seems to be especially bad when he has to do an American accent.
What was the hivemind opinion on Ginger Snaps II? I rented it last night and really enjoyed it -- very creepy, and the screenplay has a near-Buffy-level mixture of snark and horror.

Can I just say Cupid?
And where are those frelling dvds!?
As for Ginger Snaps II. I liked the dialogue a lot and the characters well enough. The bad seed
girl was creeptastic.
But, I didn't like the ending at all. Felt like it brought down the franchise a bit. All in all though, I was glad I saw it.
I'm thinking of buying Ginger Snaps I. Anybody seen III!The prequel? (sheesh)

Not as good as the first one, but all right. Lemme Nilly.

Yeah, i agree it's not as good as the original, in part because Ginger is dead, and the sister's interplay was one of the best things in the first one.. But I enjoyed Brigitte's interplay with the clinic director. And Ghost was just ... astounding, in writing and in execution. The ending was a little lame, but I can go with it.
Also, did anyone know the actress who plays Brigitte was the young Beverly in the miniseries of It, which gave me bad dreams many years ago? Quite the creeptastic career she's had.
