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.

If I only had a brain...

I occasionally lick my brandy off my fingers, but that's because I spill it while walking from the pantry to my chair. (On the first glass, too. How humiliating.)

I love the New York Times' film reviewers. From today, on Closer:

"The only one who succeeds is Mr. Owen, whose volcanic charisma is hedged - and to some extent subverted - by a flash of rugged wit. Faced with such a rival, Mr. Law wisely declines to defend the "Sexiest Man Alive" title recently conferred on him by the discerning folks at People magazine. Instead, he dismantles the smooth, ingratiating persona that has brought him to the brink of being a movie star and in the process reclaims his legitimacy as a nimble and clever actor."

hee.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I cannot WAIT to see this movie!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

You're familiar with the play aren't you Robin? I just want to be sure there are no ususpecting viewers who expect a feel-good experience.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

The SF Chronicle today said it's a good movie, but Julia Roberts sucks the energy out of every scene she's in. And that Clive Owen and Natalie Portman are excellent.

Thanks, Matt, you thoughtful doll. I know it's going to be cold and not fun, but Owen is at the top of his game as an actor, andI am looking very much forward seeing him and it sounds like Portman is wonderful too, so it should be fun, talent-wise.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Damn Cate Blanchett for getting pregnant and making room for JR. ::grumbles::

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

The only point where Bond has to be white is Live and let die, becausee the story hinges on him standing out in harlem. Once you drop the period setting Bond can be anyone.

Compassionately intolerant

Any thoughts on Kindred: The Embraced?

I've never even heard of it before. 20 minutes into it, my experience is:

C Thomas Howell? How did that guy ever get a role? Dialogue. Really crappy. Casting, cool.

Does it get better?
